FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Men Frank J. 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.
Fuel Tech Scholarship
Available to Freshman
A $5OO scholarship will be pre
sented in September to a male
freshman vntering the fuel tech
nology cuniculum..
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.

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.,

other students from • around the

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.

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.

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.

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.
