An official of the aviation com pany said the event was planned to take place at the end of the game. “The Republican Committee or members were in no way respon sible,” he said. “It was strictly a misunderstanding on the part of our pilot. We humbly apolo gize that your listening to the music of the Blue Band , was in terrupted.” Stuart Makes Statement The Young Republicans’ organ ization was held responsible for the idea of the helpicopter inva sion.

Mike Mansfield of Monta n a, a leading Democratic foreign affairs spokesman, predicted today there may well be a “blood bath in the Middle East” unless the Western nations end what he called “stalling” in their foreign policies. What has resulted in the negotiations over the Suez crisis to date, Mansfield said in a statement, is a “temporary respite at yie price of putting off the day of reckoning.” “What has not been obtained is a just and lasting solution of that crisis,” he said. “I hope that now it may not be too late." FOR A BETTER PENN STATE (Editorial on page four) ter, carrying the sign “Young Ike,” jiggled a half-hour to the ganization "knew nothing about the helicopter until it arrived over the field.” Top University officials said they knew nothing about it, and had given no one permission to land on Beaver Field with a heli copter. University Official Apologizes A University spokesman apolo gized because he thought the lives of the people in the stands were in jeopardy. The University was conducting an investigation of the occurrence, he said. • State Police, who talked to the helicopter pilot at the scene, said they would turn facts over to su periors for possible action by aeronautics authorities. Mansfield, a member of the’ Foreign Relations Committee, said this country’s policy in the Suez crisis seems to be based on “waiting for the sands to settle.” “The sands will not settle of their own accord,” he said. Mansfield said that as long ago as last April he had urged the administration to forestall a crisis in the Middle East by bringing together as many na tions as possible to plan meas ures to preserve peace. “Had the administration act ed firmly and clearly six months ago, it is likely that we would hot now be hunting for last ditch remedies. The pres ent crisis might never have arisen.” Mansfield said he felt Sec retary of State Dulles had acted as an “honest broker” between the West and Egypt in the Suez oliegtan Trustees' OK Paves Way For Building Negotiations The Board oi Trustees has authorized the administration to con duct negotiations concerning future fraternity housing on campus. The action was taken Friday, after both the Inteffraternity Council and the Association of Fraternity Counselors had asked ■the board to investigate the pos sibility of future housing for ! fraternities on University grounds. In a prepared statement, ‘ a ’spokesman said last night, “The 'Board of Trustees has opened the way for negotiations for frater nity housing on campus, by au thorizing the officers of the Uni versity to consider where and un der what conditions fraternity houses might be constructed on University land.” Difficulties Cited However, it was emphasized that a great many difficulties must be overcome before any long-term idea of campus hous ing for fraternities could be ac cepted. The AFC a few weeks, ago asked the board, in effect, to grant consideration of specific proposals it might submit to the board regarding the financing of future building, on campus, the spokesman said. Cost of House Estimated He estimated the cost of the type of house a fraternity would desire, in order to keep the frat ernity system in step with the growth of the University, at about $20(1,000 to $300,000. He said he believes no frater nity is in a financial position at the present time to sustain such an expense. Financial assistance, in the form of loans, bonds or some simi lar-aid, would probably be neces sary to finance on-campus con struction, he said. Stale Funds Not Available It was also pointed out that state funds would not be avail able for any type of assistance in such construction. The IFC last year made in quiries of the board concerning possible on-campus construction in the future. 5 Absence Leaves Granted to Faculty Leaves of absence were granted to five members of the University faculty by the Board of Trustees this weekend.

Mid East dispute, while striving to pre serve a united Western front. He said he believed any hope of a peaceful solution to the Suez crisis must be sought along these lines: 1. Acceptance of Egypt’s right to nationalize the canal, with just compensation of the old Suez Canal Co. owners, pro vided Egypt allows free and unhampered right of passage to ships of all nations in peace of war. in accord with the con vention of 1888. 2. If an agreement is not reached in the UN the Suez Canal Users Association under consideration by the West must be strengthened into an organ ization of sufficient “coopera tion and resources to see to it that it will be Egypt rather than the rest of the world that suffers from a failure to keep the canal open, to all nations.” Beaver Field Tragedy See Page 4 Campus IFC Rush Will Begin With Film The Interfraternity Council rushing program will begin today with the distribution of Penn State Fraternities magazine and the showing of the film “A Toast to Our Brother.” About 40 fraternity rushing, chairmen will conduct informal discussions Thursday in the fresh men residence halls.
