Edward Lo g, tabulations chair
man for the d ive, said that these
returns are • i indication of the
eventual ou come of the cam
paign, because only 15 out of ap
proximately 425 solicitors have
made returns.
The average contribution per
person so far has been 90 cents.
This falls short of 10 cents per
person for the goal established
by the Cainpus Chest executive
committee as: "A Dollar per
Scholar."
Long said that strongest re
turns came from Nittany, Thomp
son, and McKee- dormitories. He
commended these contributors
whose average contribution was
more than a dollar per person as
well as the solicitors in these
areas.
Weak Areas Noted
The weakest returns to date
have come from Town Independ
ent Men and the Pollock area,
according to Long.
"I feel the final result of this
campaign will be far better than
last -year's," Long commented.
Judging from the individual con
tributions received so far, our
campaign should be successful.
I attribute this to the fact that
this year's drive was much better
organized than last year's.
The deadline for making re
turns is 11 p.m. tomorrow, in or
der to be eligible for the trophies.

Land-Grant Group Secretary
Decries Federal Scholarships
The.executive secretary of the American Association of
Land-Grant Colleges and State Universities has cautioned
against what he called "disturbing" proposals for Federal
scholarships.
In his annual report Tuesday to the association, which
represents one-fifth of all United
States college enrollment, Rus
sell I. Thackrey said that if anyl
further federal aid were extended
to higher education it would be'
better to give it to institutions
rather than individuals, accord
ing to the Associated Press.
Dangers Emphasized
Temporary Parking
Extended in Town
Use of some of the temporary
emergency parking stickers is
sued by the borough for certain
blocks have been extended, pend
ing completion of off-street facili
ties.
Burgess David R. Mackey yes
terday said 110 of the stickers
were issued originally for a two
week period.
He also said he -expected two
parking lots, capable of holding
most of the overflow of fraternity
cars, would be completed by
Thanksgiving.

she "might as well be good and
late."
She reportedly took a one
o'clock permission the night be

to take a 12 o'clock.
Although he admitted drinking
off and on throughout the day,
the student said he was not drunk.
He - said his date had not been
drinking. The patrolman said he
was attracted to the car because
it had a flat tire and because of
the student's attire, consisting of
a pair of shorts and body markings
in conformance with the Indian
theme of a fraternity party they
had attended.
The - student said he did not
know the automobile had a flat

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
"The dangers of Federal control
are often emphasized in discus
sions of federal relationships with
colleges and universities," Thack
rey said.
"The experience of the land
grant institutions is that these
dangers can be minimized when
federal funds go directly to in
stitutions under broad authoriza
tions."
Bills Introduced
Several scholarship bills have
been introduced in Congress and
members of the association's
policy-making body voted 4 to 1
in favor of federal scholarships in
an association-conducted poll.

sentiment among members had

pledged American support today for United Nations action

so-called "volunteers" into the troubled Middle East.
At a news conference, he said "it would be the duty"
of the UN, including the United
States, to oppose any such Com
munist intervention.
The President did not say what
form the opposition should take,
saying, "it would depend upon
the circumstances."
Asked what steps would be
taken "beyond simply subscrib
ing to resolutions," the President
replied:
"Well, I can't tell you what it
would be. But the United Nations,
if you will read its charter, is not
by any manner of means limited
to resolutions, and in one instance,
at least, showed that it was not so
limited.
"So I don't know exactly what
we would do. It would depend
upon the circumstances."
The "one instance" to which he
referred apparently was the 'UN
military action' against Red ag-
