PA. System. TV Linked The public address system and color television suggestions will be put on a separate ballot be cause of the relative inexpense of these two items in comparison with the probable cost of the other items. The P.A. system would need approximately $5OO to pay for the rebuilding of the broad casting booth and new broadcast ing equipment. The color televi sion set for the HUB would cost about the same amount. It was suggested that a collec tion of books for the Pattee li brary by some famous author who is associated with the University would bring fame to the Univer sity in some way. Authors men tioned were Edgar Lee Masters, author of “Spoon River Anthol ogy,” whose wife is a teacher at the Ogontz Center; and the late Dylan Thomas, famous poet, who spoke at the University some years ago. Cabin Would Be Replaced The recreation cabin at Beaver Dam would take the place of the one operated by the Outing Club which was burned down. A cabin of this type would be available to all students for picnics and cabin parties.

Last year’s senior class presented $lO,OOO to the University for pews and furnishings. New medical equipment for the infirmary would be placed in the new wing. Type of equipment would be chosen by the University hospital staff. Approximately $9500 has been set aside for the senior class gift.

He said the feeling of ur gency was based on a desire to deai fairly with the farmers as a vital element of the economy, rather than to seek votes for November. A central feature of the pro gram received bipartisan sup port. This was the idea of a soil bank, under which farmers would get cash or commodities from the government for cutting back on unnecessary production. Democrats Claim Idea Democrats, including Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, maintainel that the soil bank idea actually originated among them. However, the biggest objection raised to the Eisenhower program —by some Midwestern Republi cans as well as many Democrats —was that it wouldn’t act quickly enough to help farmers whose prices and income have been steadily dwindling. (Eollpgtatt Prexy's Word Could Solye Problem - CDT The Centre Daily Times, in an editorial, said yesterday that “only” a statement from Dr. Mil ton S. Eisenhower, president of the University, would clear up reports that he is a possible Re publican presidential or vice pres idential candidate if his brother decides against running. The newspaper continued: “But Dr. Eisenhower is on record that he’ll talk for publication only on University business.” The newspaper made this com ment as a result of columnist Roscoe Drummond’s story in the latest edition of Collier’s maga zine. Drummond, nationally syndi cated columnist for the New York Herald Tribune, has repeatedly mentioned Dr. Eisenhower’s name as a possible candidate. Drummond has been termed the “most authoritative” writer on the Republican administration. A news article of Drummond’s statements concerning Dr. Eisen hower in the magazine article ap peared in Friday’s edition of The Daily Collegian.

West Hall Council Airs Dress Rule The West Hall Council last night passed a motion to refer to its individual units a dress rule amendment which would allow men to remove their coats in the dining halls.
