Students Today to Talks to All but two of the some 20 students who quit their jobs at the Hetzel Union Building's Lion's Den and cafeteria Wed nesday night are expected to return to their jobs today. Ronald Henderson, junior in agricultural education from St. Clairsville, said last night that a few of the students re turned to jobs yes.terday and the remainder will return today. Meanwhile, student workers met 'with food service offi cials last night in an attempt House Votes 33 Billion For Defe se WASHINGTON, May 10 (iP)— The House today vote 377-0 to appropriate $33,635,066, 00 in new money for the Defens Depart ment for the fiscal ye starting July 1. It passed and sent t the Sen ate a bill providing that amount after refusing to add an extra billion dollars fbr the Air Force. In closing debate, Chairman Clarence Cannon (D-Mo.) of the Appropriations Committee, told the House "We are slowly but surely losing our battle with communism." Below Ike's Request The amount approved was the exact amount recommended by Cannon's committee last week and is $512,784,000 less than President Eisenhower requested. Much of the cut, however, was of a book keeping nature and did not in volve so-called "hardware" anci procurement programs. The total is $1,741,832,374 more than the department was given this year. The attempt to add the billion dollars to the Air Force, for pro curement of long -r an g e 852 bombers, was led by Rep. Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.), a committee member. Flood said this is no time to "sacrifice" air supremacy for a balanced budget. and warned of Russia's growing air power. Amendment Defeated His amendment was defeated by a one-sided voice vote after other committee members said the Air Force already has as much money as it can use and is work ing on a bomber superior to the 1352. The money voted for plane pro curement was the exact amount requested by the President. The new money, plus carryover funds, would give the Defense De partment $46,233,000,000 during the new fiscal year and contem plates military strength of 2,865,- 200 _on June 30, 1957, compared with 2,810,100 on June 30 of this year. 34 Students Gain Higher Ad Boards Of Daily Collegian The Daily Collegian advertis ing staff has promoted 34 students to the higher board: Promoted to intermediate board are: Eleanor Daniels, To Ann Vetrosky, Alan Grossman, Art Cooper, Riva Heller, George Shambaugh, Marlene Gold, Rob ert Piccone, Jack Dundore, and Thomas Buckey.

Trustees to Meet The University's Board of Trus tees will meet at 7:30 tonight )n the board room of Old Main. No agenda has been released. to Return HUB Jobs; Continue to iron out their differences. No agreement was reached, but further talks will be held, Hen derson said. He said he hopes to meet with Mildred A. Baker, director of food service, early next week. A perm anent committee was elected for the talk with Miss Baker and fu ture talks. Although the students quit their jobs originally in an attempt to secure the $1 minimum wage paid in cash, most of the students, Henderson said, realize they went about it in the wrong way. He said they are no longer fighting for the minimum wage, but that they feel they have "some improvements" coming. He could not say on what he meant by "some improvements." At present the students receive 85 cents an hour, which is paid in meal tickets. The meal tickets are redeemable only at the HUB cafeteria. In a statement last night, Hen derson said: "We realize that the action tak en by us wasn't the best, but we don't feel all has been in vain as we expect better communications with the administration in the future." .Last night's meeting was the second meeting the students held with University officials. At the other, the students were ruled as employes of a state .agency by University counsul. Roy Wilkin son Jr. By being classified as em ployes of a state agency, they would not be allowed to go on strike. Representing the food service at last night's meeting were Jean McFadden, manager of HUB food service, and Robert C. Proffitt. manager of food stores and food buyer. Almost all of the students, ex cept those serving a banquet, were present at the meeting.

Review 'lnspector Caiis'—No One Horne By TED SERBILL Last night Players ended its 1955-56 theatrical season on a discordant note. Its production of J. B. Priest ley's "An Inspector Calls" can not be redeemed. If it could, the only factors that could pos sibly help in producing a favor able impression are the acting of Dominic Landro and - Bruce Tay lor, an unusual setting„ good tech nical work, and a trick ending. Looking at all the other aspects of the play, we can only say the show was pitiful. One Distracting Factor The greatest contributing factor to this was the poor acting of Grace Bonnert, Valentina Kopach, and William R. Warthling. The three certainly did not play the characters the play attempted to point up. Perhaps .they. played Titt Elaitg VOL. 56. No. 139 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 11, 1956 FIVE CENTS Six To Revisions Elections A revamped Elections Code, containing six major and numerous minor changes, was approved unanimously by All-University Cabinet last night. The revised code contains three of seven proposed changes by Roger Beidler, Elections Committee chairman, and two of three changes proposed by Robert Spadaro, Lion party clique chairman. Discussion on the code lasted over four hours. Hoping to cut off any future hassles about party campaign platforms, Cabinet ap- Fund Bill By House House Speaker Hiram G. Andrews has kept the Univer ity's $26,194,000 appropriation bill on his desk instead of sending it to the governor. The bill, which gained final legislature approval by the House Wednesday night, will be held up until other appro priation bills for universities and colleges are sent to Gov. George M. Leader, Andrews said. The Associated Press said yes terday that Andrews is holding more than 50 bills calling for sev eral million dollars until the pre sent fiscal situation is cleared up. To Give Leader More Time The delay, through a mutual agreement of Andrews and Lead er, is designed to give the Gov ernor - additional . time. before he is forcid - to sign the bills, the AP said. In, general, he has ten days to sign or veto a bill after it reaches him. The appropriation, which is $1 million more than Leader re quested in his April. 1955 budget, is to cover the state's aid to the University for the 1955-57 fiscal period. It is about $6 million more than the 1953.55 appropriation. Most for General Uses Of the total $26,194,000, $25,- 783,000 would be earmarked for general maintenance, research, salaries, materials. and other gen eral expenses. The remainder would go toward special research projects, some partially paid for by industrial interests. The final house vote came near to the end of a six-hour session with less than 50 members still remaining in their seats. There was no debate and the vote was recorded as 191-0. The House had previously ap proved a bill calling for a $25,- 194,444 appropriation. A Senate committee later tacked on the ad ditional $1 million, necessitating the House to act upon the measure again. Last week J. Dean Polen, chair man of the House appropriations committee, cautioned that the fis cal condition of the state would determine finally whether Leader would approve the additional $4 million. themselves; perhaps they didn't play. The other contributing factor was one that has been touted as introducing an utterly new con cept in staging .to Penn State audiences, one that has been ex tolled as striking, unusual, and modern. `Sad' Time on Stage It was the open or floating stage on which the players had them selves such a sad time. And here we are confronted with the only paradox of the play. The new stage, which has been built over the first four or five rows of seats in Schwab Auditorium, is striking, unusual, and modern. The idea itself is utterly different—and good. Perhaps the concept may have worked if used with a different play and experienced, good actors. But last night it didn't work.' The fine idea.and the bad acting did .not mix.

Foreign Service Exam Applications Due Today Today is the last day to file applications to take the Foreign Service Officer examinations. Applications may be secured at the department of political sci ence office in 119 Sparks, and at the University placement office in 112 Old Main. The examination will be given June 25. The list of cities where the examination will be given in cludes Philadelphia, Pittsburgh. Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. This play would have fared better if it had been played on a regular stage with a confined backdrop and a ceiling over the actors' heads. Landro, as Arthur Birling, the head of the British household of Birlings, and Taylor, as Inspec tor Goole, the mysterious man who in one night disrupts the' lives of five persons, did their' best with their parts, imparting some life to the play. The play is difficult to do well since it is only a fair show. It moves slowly; it is wordy; the action builds up with a perky slowness to a silly but effective end, and the plot is nothing to carry home and think about. Theme Might be Symbolic It has a theme and might even be called symbolic. As the pro gram says, it doesn't merely de pict some small events in an Eng lish town of 1912; the personali (Continued on page five) Toltrgiatt Made Code proved a proposed amendment by Spadaro limiting Elections Com mittee's right to censor party planks. Sterns From BX Fund Plank During spring elections, Lion party and the committee battled over the committee's right to void a proposed plank to investigate the Book Exchange funds. Spadaro's amendment, approv ed by a majority vote. gives Elec tions Committee the right to act upon all planks "outside the scope of political parties" if it deems these planks "undesirable" by a two-thirds vote of the committee and a majority of Cabinet. Previously the committee had assumed the right to act upon all planks without Cabinet approval, until a decision by the Supreme 'Court this semester ruling that assumption void. • Overrides Be::::ler Proposal In approving the amendment, Cabinet overrode a proposal by Beidler giving the_committee full power to approve and penalize parties for faulty planks. The amendment also includes a clause stating "no platforms may be used by a political party until given final approval . . ." Dealing with another controver sial issue during spring elections, Cabinet passed an amendment by Beidler which makes an en tire political party responsible for the proper conduct of the clique and its candidates both in ternally and in campaigns. Beid ler told Cabinet the ruling should be interpreted to mean an entire slate is responsible for a single candidate's actions. At the same time, a motion by Spadaro to lim it the number of votes a candi date may be penalized to 100 was defeated. Could Dock 200 Votes Under present interpretation, Beidler said, it is possible for a_ candidate to be penalized 200 votes for one violation if the com mittee penalizes the candidate and the entre party 100 votes each. Spadaro said his amendment would eliminate the possibility of "d oub l e jeopardy." Speaking .against the motion, Lash Howes, Association of Independent Men president, said he doesn't believe in vote docking, "but,if we're go ing to give the committee power I to dock votes, we should give it a big enough stick." Decentralized Voting Out Another major code change ap .proved by Cabinet left the way open in future years for decen tralized voting. Until the change 'was approved, the code limited voting to the Hetzel Union Build ing.
