third day today , with returns light the last two days.

Court Plan
Opposed By
Eng Council
The Architecture and Engineer
ing Student Council last night
voted in opposition to the Su
preme_ Court revision which is
now before the All-University
Cabinet.
The revised court proposed by
Cabinet would have 32 members,
of which 25 would be members
of Cabinet.
A Third Vole Required
Cabinet has approved the re
vised supreme court plan on two
votes. Since the plan would cause
revision to the body's constitution,
a third vote requiring a two
thirds majority is needed.
The council decided not to in
corporate the Engineering News
letter in .the Penn State Engineer.
It was brought Out that the
Newsletter, the council's own lit
erary representative, would lose
its identity by becoming a part
of another magazine.
Larger Circulation Cited
The council also pointed out
that the Newsletter has a larger
circulation than the Engineer be
cause it is free.
The Newsletter is the engineers'
contact with their council, and by
cutting down on the number of
readers of the council's activities,
the council would be defeating
the purpose of the Newsletter, the
council said.
The members of the Engineer
said that they approved of the in
corporation, but they would abide
by the decision of the council.
Leadership Course to Meet
The Leadership Training Course
will meet at 6:30 tonight in 119
Osmond, and not at the time
originally scheduled. '

Returns Light;
raters Third . Day
Edward Long, tabulations chair
man, said that he expects heavier
returns today, tomorrow, and Fri
day, as the campaign draws to an
end.
"Today's figures are certainly
no indication whatsoever of the
progress of the campaign," Long
said.
He explained that returns have
not been great to date, because
solicitors found it necessary to
contact prospective contributors
two and three times.

UN Team
To Observe
Canal Zone
LONDON, Nov. 13 (/1 3 )—A team
of 12 UN truce observers with
white jeeps took up posts in the
600-yard wide no-man's-land in
the Suez Canal zone today. They
will keep tabs on the cease-fire
'between British-French and Egyp
tian forces pending arrival of the
new UN police force.
Adavnce units of the police ar
my still marked time at their
assembly point at Capodichino in
Italy. Postponement of their de
parture was officially ascribed to
technical difficulties, but there
remained the possibility that
snags had developed over limits
Egypt has placed on their opera
tions.
UN Troops
Reports from airline officials in
Cairo said there was a possibility
the UN troops would be flown
directly into the Suez Canal zone
instead of to_ Cairo as had been
planned.
A French Foreign Ministry
spokesman served notice that
France expected the police force
to occupy "at least symbolically"
the entire canal zone, not just the
northern end held by the British
and French.
No Suez Duty
By the account of the Middle],
East News Agency, Egypt's na
tional news distributor, President
Nasser insists that the interna
tional army have no duties in the
Suez Canal zone, that British-
French forces withdraw from Port
Said immediately, and that the
UN force be confined to policing
the 1949 armistice line between
Egypt and Israel.
These conditions ran head-on
into the stated objectives of the
British,, French and Israelis.
