122 Visitors
Investigate
TV Project
Some 122 educators and engi
neers were attracted to the Uni
versity this year to study the
closed circuit television project.
Most of the visitors represented
colleges and universities which
are planning a similar project, or
others who are familiar with tele
vised classes and are interested
in seeing what progress the Uni
versity has made.
In addition to the United States,
individuals and delegations came
from Iran, Puerto Rico,• Formosa
and India. Others represented
American newspapers and maga
zines, and television and radio
stations. _
The project, which has com
pleted one and one-half years of
- research, is financed by the Ford
Foundation's Fund for the Ad
vancement of Education.
Consultants for the Fund have
termed the University's TV ex
periment a "pioneer" and have
made the prediction that "the
University will be ahead of all
other schools if TV develops into
an educational use."
During the year, nine of• the
Fund's consultants visited the
University to investigate the work
being done.
After studying the manner of
presentation, control work, stu
dent-professor attitude, and fu
ture plans, they said that they
were delighted with the compre
hensive and extensive work be
ing done.
This semester 36 hours of class
es were televised. These included
courses in chemistry, engineering,
music, sociology, psychology, com
merce, political science and air

U.S. Chiefs May Visit Russia
WASHINGTON, May 24 (VP)
—The 'United States dramati
cally, though indirectly, noti
fied Russia today that the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff would
probably accept an invitation
to inspect the Soviet armed forces
—if such an invitation is forth
coming.
The matter was handled in
such a way as to leave no doubt
that the Soviet government was
being prodded to bid the Ameri
can military high command to
visit Moscow and tour the coun
try.
Gordon Gray, assistant secre
tary of defense, went over the
matter with Undersecretary of
State Herbert Hoover Jr. at a
State Department conference.
The White House's contribution
was a remark by Murray Snyder,
assistant press secretary, that he
"wouldn't be surprised" if the

Memorial Day
Service Planned

ceremony conducted by student
groups Wednesday morning.

uled for the holiday.

Charles Mertz, sophomore in me
chanical engineering, will parti
cipate in the program.

Collegian Business
Staff Promotes 25
To Higher Boards
The Daily Collegian business
staff has promoted 25 candidates
to intermediate boards.
Those promoted on the circula
tion staff were: Alan Arossman,
Troby Brandt, Mary Griesmer,
Josephine Hough, Carol Klamt,
Miriam Latshaw, Virginia Lewis,
James Meister, Linda Paynter,
Phyllis Stein, and Myrna Stern.
Promoted to classified staff
were: Frances Crone, Mary Her
bein, Marguerite Neilson, and
Nancy Trout.
Promoted to business staff were:
Noel Decalalcante, Franklin Gil
more, Nancy Jendricks, Morris
Movsovich, George Shambough,
and Theodore Wexler_
Promoted to promotion staff
were: Arnold Harris, William
Hibler, Nancy Hollingshead, and
Patricia Miernicki.
Joint Chiefs of Staff would accept
an invitation to visit the Soviet
Union. He hastened to explain
that they had no invitation.
Snyder, however, said that
"there have been informal discus
sions about high officials of our
!government visiting Russia" ever
since the Geneva conference last
July.
The Pentagon became involved
when a spokesman for the Joint
I Chiefs said no official approach
for a visit by the whole group of
military leaders had been re
ceived but that if an invitation
did come in "it will be given ser
ious consideration depending
upon the conditions imposed_"
Behind all this was a move by
the Soviet government which ap
peared on the face of it to be of
much more modest proportions
than the United States govern
ment appeared ready to give it.
According to the office of Col.
Philip Bachinsky, air attache at
the Soviet Embassy, this is what
ottrgiatt
Corporation will deliver the main
address.
In case of inclement weather,
the ceremonies will be divided
in two sections at Recreation Hall,
one at 10:30 a.m. for students in
the Colleges of Agriculture, Chem
istry and Physics, Engineering
and Architecture, and Mineral
Industries, and the other at 2
p.m. for students in the Colleges
of Business Administration, Edu
cation, Home Economies, Liberal
Arts, and Physical Education.

Ken.rorthy, director of student

Col. Bachinsky last Monday
visited the office of Col. J. H.
Lackey, chief of foreign liaison'
for the 'U.S. Air Force's intelli
gence branch. He said he wanted
to see Gen. Nathan F. Twining,
Air Force chief of staff, to extend
an invitation from Marshal Vasily
D. Sokolovsky, chief of the Gen
eral Staff of the Soviet army—
includ:%ig air force.
Bachinsky advised Lackey, it
was indicated, that Marshal Soko
lovsky was inviting Gen. Twining
I to send a delegation of two or
three high officers of the Air
Force to a celebration of Aviation
Day in the Soviet Union on June
24. Bachinsky said through an
aide that he had not received a
reply.
At the Pentagon this explana
tion was borne out by officials
who said Gen. Twining had in
deed received word that an invi
tation—meaning a formal one—
to Moscow would be forthcoming.
