Windshield Slicker Every •zegistered automobile "must carry a numbered wind shield sticker which will be is sued at the time of registration. Failure either to register his car or to display the windshield sticker will make a student liable for a $5 fine. Present regulations demand only the automobile reg istration, with a fine for non compliance of $2.

According to a letter sent to all entering freshmen and their parents, first and second se mester students will not be per mitted to "possess and/or oper ate a -motor vehicle" in Centre County.

Simes said yester day. They can automatically be readmitted to school for the spring semester. One student, a freshman in elec trical engineering, was caught when he was involved in a down town accident. The student told the subcom mittee he bought a used car from his brother and it was registered under a friend's name. Brakes Failed - The student said he was driving behind Pattee Library looking for a parking space two weeks ago when his brakes failed. The car rolled past Recreation Ball, he said, down Burrowes road, and crashed. into a parking meter downtown. The other student, a freshman in liberal arts, told the subcom mittee he brought his brother's car to school during the winter and kept it at his grandmother's house on the 500 block of Frazier street. Found Behind Watts The student said he used the car frequently, but never drove it on campus. Campus Patrol said they found the car in the park ing area behind Watts Dormitory, where the student lives, and tag ged it. He told the subcommittee he hadn't parked the car behind Watts, and didn't know how it got there. He said it was possible that some of the students in his fraternity might have driven the car into the Watts parking area. The two cases bring the total number of suspensions under the car ban this year to six. First Year for Ban This is the first year freshman cars have been banned at the University. Last spring, in an effort to al leviate the growing parking prob lem, the Council of Administra tion passed a rule prohibiting freshman *cars on campus. The rule listed suspension as the pen alty for violations. Physically-handicapped students who have a car are excepted from the rule.

The scholarship has been es tablished by Bituminous Coal Re search, Inc., in order to encourage students of ability to enter the field of fuel technology. The recipient may have his award renewed for each of his four years, if he maintains a sat isfactory scholastic record. Pentagon Quiets Feud WASHINGTON, May 21 (EP) —The Pentagon's top brass played down as "eager beaver" squabbling today a sudden up surge of ArmY:Navy-Air Force rivalry over national defense policy. It didn't look, however, as if any serious punishment was ' in, store for relatively junior officers who stirred up the weekend fuss. Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson took the "little hurricane," as he called it, so seriously that he called on short notice an unprece dented news conference by him self, the secretaries of all three services and all members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "There will always be some diffeiences of opinion within Tottijiatt Music Jumps From Bach To Lehrer Never a dull moment at the University where anything and everything is feasible—and hap pens. Without any notice yesterday, the usually serene music piped out', of Waring Hall speakers during the dinner hour changed to the humorous, risque music of Tom Lehrer, whose records are always good for a laugh. Lehrer is an ex-Harvard Uni versity mathematics professor turned tunesmith and night club entertainer. His classics such as "Be Pre pared," "The Old Dope Peddler," and "I'll Hold Your Hand in Mine" threw West Dortn students —men and women—into laughing .fits. As one coed said. "It's great. It sure spices up the old din ner hour." - Reaction among the house mothers was rather mixed. On this subject. the same coed said "It sure shook up the troops: - For some odd reason, no one claimed responsibiltiy for playing the records. But one thing's for sure. Students eating in Waring Hall will probably follow Lehrer's advice in the future: ". . . don't be flustered, don't be nervous, don't be scared—be prepared!" Prexy Will Get Two Degrees President Milton a►Eisenhower is scheduled to deliver two com mencement addresses and receive two honorary degrees within two days early next month. President Eisenhower will de liver the addresses to Boston University graduates on June 2 and to graduates of the Pennsyl vania Military College on June 3. He will receive honorary de grees at both ceremonies. He is also scheduled to attend a meeting of the directors of the Fund for Adult Education Thurs day and Friday at Chicago and to speak to Future Homemakers and Future Farmers of America on June 12 and to the Alumni In stitute on June 16, both speeches to be given at the University. • Tyler to Attend Paris University Savilla Tyler, sophomore in arts and letters from Milwaukee, Wis., has been selected, along with 87 other students from • around the country, for participation in the 1956-57 Junior Year in France program sponsored by Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, Va. The stud en t s will sail for France Sept. 7 aboard the Maur etania, and after six weeks of in tensive language drill during res idence with French families in Tours, they will move-to Paris for the winter term at tb University. and between the services in con nection with military opera tions." declared Wilson. as the civilian and military heads of the armed forces sat stony faced alongside him. He added: "Honest differences and reason able compeition between the military services are healthy and will result in a stronger defense establishment. "It is not good for the country, however, to have these differ ences, some of which are set forth in confidential staff papers, aired on a basis of service partisanship without giving the proper respon sible officials the opportunity to weigh all the factors involved." Wilson thus moved swiftly to halt the biggest inierserviee quarrel by far since the "ad mirals" aver the B3S bomber in 1949. Both-the Army chief of staff, Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, and his Fund Bill Sent To Governor For Approval The 'University's $26,194,000 appropriation bill was sent to Gov. George M. Leader last night. House Speaker Hiram G. Andrews and Senate President Roy E. Furman signed the bill, along with about 50 other ap propriation bills, after holding it up for 12 days, according to the Associated Press. This marks the end of more than a year the bill has been tossing around the state legis The Associated Press said Assembly will reconvene today for what the assemblymen hope will be the last day of their 17-1 month marathon session, the long est on record. May Be Final Session • I The assemblymen hope to wind up the session with a - final ap proval on the general state ap propriation bill. House and Sen ate conferees yesterday agreed on a compromise figure of about $152 million, according to the Asso ciated Press, but because of a printer's delay on the 103-page measure, no action could be taken. If the Assembly adjourns today or within the next ten days, Lead er will have 30 days to act upon the bill before it automatically becomes law_ If no adjournment is reached today or within the next ten days, Leader will have only ten days to act upon the bill before it automatically becomes law, the Associated Press said. Bill Held Up Andrews had held up the Uni versity's appropriation bill, which gained final legislative approval Zvfay 9, in order to give Leader more time before being forced to act upon the bill. Leader has been faced with fis cal difficulties. Lack of adequate revenue may force him to cut some of the appropriation bills, including possibry the Univer sity's. SI Million Added The bill contains $1 million more than Leader requested in his April, 1955 budget. This in crease was tacked on by the Sen ate appropriations committee. A breakdown of the $26,194,000 shows $25,783,000 for general maintenance, research, salaries, materials, and other general ex penses: $150,000 for the College of Agriculture's Experiment Sta tion, $66,003 for research and ex neriment in problems relating to the petroleum industry, $70,000 for research on by-products of anthracite and bituminous coal and development of new uses. A grant of $57,500 to the Col lege of Mineral Industries for re search on long-range problems af fecting mineral industries. 532,- 500 for research on basic problems of slate and other non-metallic mineral industries; and $32,500 for research on basic problems af fecting mineral industries. Rising Temperatures, Possible Rain Predicted Warmer weather with possible thundershowers in the afternoon and evening has been predicted for today by the students of the department of meteorology. The high today will be in the high 70's or low 80's, and the low will be about 47. Yesterday's high was 76. Air Force counterpart, Gen. Na than F. Twining, specifically dis avowed documents "leaked" to certain publications over the weekend casting reflections on the roles assigned to other serv ices. Some sources in the Pentagon gave out documents saying that present emphasis on airpower could lead to disaster. Wilson referred to the furor as "a little hurricane" but smilingly suggested maybe it had blown up beyond its true proportions. "I think," said the defense sec retary, refusing to elaborate, "the eager beavers are gnawing down some of the wrong trees." Wilson said he saw no need for any congressional investigation— such as some Democrats have been talking about—to thresh out the_ matter of the three services' roles and missions. last night that the General Archaeology Experiments With TV A section of Archaeology I will be televised tomorrow as the sec ond experimental session to de termine whether or not the sub ject can be adapted to TV. Dr. Frederick R. Matson, pro fessor of archaeology, said "he was surprised at the results of the first trial." Only three students out of '35, he said, expressed a dislike, and that was general dislike for TV. Matson said if facilities and time are available next year he is interested in having one class a week televised and two used for class discussion. Television will enlarge small pictures, tools, slides, illustra tions from books and various spe cimens. Lack of color was one objection of the students in the section. However, Matson said, an exhibit can be set up in the work session in order to show details and 'color. He also said that .it would be impossible to televise the com ,plete course because archaeology must have group discussions in stead of lectures. The experimental sessions are now conducted in 10 Sparks where students watch the TV sets placed along either side of the auditorium. fro w e v er. Matson said he would prefer to originate the class from the studio, room 20, and accommodate the students in a smaller viewing room.

The accident occurred about 1 p.m. at "The Barrens" on Route 322 near 'Milroy. Christopher Ernest, senior in in dustrial engineering from West Reading, said he was driving south on the highway when a deer came out of a hedgerow on the left.
