Ike Supports Nixon
As Running Mate;
Defies Wedging Try
WASHINGTON, March 14 (/P) President Dwight D.
Eisenhower declared today Vice President Richard M. Nixon
is like a brother to him and: “I would be happy to be on any
political ticket in which I was a candidate with him.”
This seemed njiighty close to an endorsement of Nixon
as Eisenhower's running mate. It left the door open, however,

STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 15. 1956
for Nixon already. invited by
the President to chart his own
political future—to bow out if
Nixon thought it politically ad
visable.
Defies Wedging Attempt
Eisenhower spoke out vehe
mently in favor of Nixon—and
defied anyone to try driving a
wedge between them—at a news
conference in which he also:
1. Pleaded for moderation on
both sides in the dispute over
race integration in Southern
schools. He said the country
would get to “a very bad spot”
if there were any move toward
“nullification” of the Supreme
jCourt’s antisegregation ruling.
Eisenhower said he had no
thought of using force but that
the Supreme Court had ordered
gradual progress and “we are
simply going to uphold the Con
stitution of the United States, see
that the progress made as ordered
by them is carried out.”
Speaks on Cyprus Riots
2. Pledged this country will do
anything “reasonable and praeti
cable” to help solve the Cyprus
dispute. But he said “the solution
is going to have to be reached by
the persons most greatly con
cerned”—Britain and Greece.
He walked without an umbrel
la through a heavy rain across
the street from the White House
to this news conference —which
took place, by coincidence, on the
43rd anniversary of the day Pres
ident Wilson first met under simi
lar circumstances with newsmen
and thereby established the news
conference tradition.
Shows He Was Irked
Eisenhower made no attempt to
hide that he was irked by some
of the interpretations * that have
been placed on his recent state
ments regarding Nixon.
He snapped to alertness when
a reporter asked how he inter
preted the remarkably large
write-in vote for Nixon in yester
day’s New Hampshire primary.
“Apparently,” said the Presi
dent, there are “lots of people in
New Hampshire that agree with
what I have told you about Dick
Nixon.”
Loan Fund
Answer to
Students in need of funds to
carry them through a semester
may find the answer to then
problems in the student loan
fund.
Thousands of dollars of income
made on the interest of over
$320,000 in endowed or invested
funds are available through the
deans’ offices to students sporting
acceptable motives for needing
money.
Fraction of Funds Available
Only a fraction of the $320,000
is available for loan use since
the University only gives stu
dents money made on the interest
produced each year on the main
loan funds themselves.
Students, especially Korean vet
erans and seniors, are becoming
increasingly more aware of the
advantages offered by the loan
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Cabinet to Discuss
Budget Allotments
All-University Cabinet, which only two weeks ago approved compensation for student
leaders, will discuss tonight next year’s operating budget, containing an appropriation of
almost $2OOO for compensation of next year’s cabinet.
Philip Beard, chairman of the inter-class finance board, will present the pro
posed budget to Cabinet. Beard said that it will be more explicit than previous budgets
to clear up the confusion that has arisen from time to time.
Several new categories will be set up under the new budget to provide operating
funds for programs which previously drew funds from Cabinet’s appropriation, Beard said.
) The proposed budget for next
"™ j'year totals $13,280, approximately
On*.#», $7OO more than the present bud

a middle of a muddle with two
parties.
Spector sought an appointed
position from Robert Spadaro,
Lion party clique chairman, and
:Spadaro promised him a job.
However, Spadaro was a little
too slow for Spector, who thought
he wasn’t going to get the job.
So he turned to the Campus
party, and got an appointed post
from William Snyder, Campus
party clique chairman.
Now with two parties, it looks
like he’ll have to choose between
them.
Spector said Monday that he
would accept the Campus party
post.
Students Use
HUB Papers
Approximately 12 to 24 stu
dents daily have been reading the
New York Times, the Philadel
phia Inquirer, and The Pittsburgh
(Post Gazette, available at the
,Hetzel Union desk since last Mon
jday, according to a desk atten
dant.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has
proven the most popular among
undergraduate students while
most of the graduate students
have been borrowing The New!
York Times. The Pittsburgh Post!
Gazette was used for the first
time Thursday. j
I In order to borrow the news
papers, students must leave their

funds. Over the eight months
alone between July 1 of last year
and March 1, 513 loans have been
made. This is a little less than
one-tenth of the 5608 loans made
from July 1, 1921 to March 1.
In these past eight months, $56,-
698 have been loaned out, aver
aging $110.52 per student. But for:
the 35 years since the start of the!
program, $455,951 were placed on!
loan. This averages out to $74.49
a student.
Private Loan Fund
Veterans and seniors are able
to obtain loans easier than other i
students. In fact, they may choose
a loan from their own private]
loan fund on conditions likely to!
appeal to them more than those
of any other fund. j
This fund, the Bernard Kun-:
kle fund, provides that veterans
and seniors do not need written!
permission from a member of
their families as other funds do.
