Seven Refugee Students
Invited to University
Seven Hungarian refugee students have been invited to
attend the. University next semester and to complete their
education here with complete financial support by students,
townspeople and the University.
The students, most of whom are single males studying
engineering or in other scientific
fields, are now enrolled in a 9-
week course in English at a Con
necticut educational institution
under the auspices of World Uni-,
versity Service.
Other colleges and universities
in the United States are also ar
ranging for the admission and
support of refugee students. In
the Chicago area 30 colleges are
taking 300 students, New York
University is granting several full
scholarships, and Dickinson will
enroll one refugee for every 300
American students.
Estimate $5OOO Needed
15 Reteive
Salk Shots
On Ist Day
Fifteen students received $1
preventive shots on_the first day
of the University 'Health Service's
polio injection program yesterday.
Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director
of the Health Service, said that
inasmuch as some eight months
are involved in completing the
total series of three injections,
only two shots will be offered by
the Health Service in the spring
semester. The third shot must be
administered during the summer
by a family physician.
Need Parental Consent
Students under 21 years of age
must have parental permission to
receive an inoculation. Parents or
guardians of students will be re
quired to mail to the Health Serv
ice permission for their son or
daughter to take the injections.
The serum used, Salk vaccine,
will be procured partly through
commercial purchases. Dr. Glenn
said he is trying to get the Penn
sylvania Department of Health to
buy the rest for student use.
Medical Groups . OK
The Health Service received
permission from the Centre Coun
ty Medical Society and the Penn
sylvania Medical Society to offer
the vaccine inoculations at the
reduced rate.
The Public Health Service an-1
nOunced yesterday that the num
ber of polio cases in this country
dropped by about 47 1 / 2 per cent in
1956, according to the Associated
Press. The figures were: 15,400'
cases reported in 1956 against,
29,270 in 1955.
Last year was the first in which
there was• widespread use of the
Salk polio vaccine. Although the
formal report made no reference
to this, a spokesman said the big
reduction obviously reflected use
of the, vaccine.
There were 6708 paralytic polio
cases reported in 1956, compared
with 10,641 in 1955.

An estimated $5OOO will be need
ed to cover the students' expenses,
according to Dr. Amos J. Shaler,
chairman of the recently-formed
subcommittee on Hungarian refu
gee students and of the parent
University Committee on Inter
national Understanding.
Assurances have been received
from a number of fraternities and
families for free board and room.
Dr. Shaler said that additional
assistance is needed in the form
of pledges of cash, about $650 per
student per year, to cover spend
ing money, clothing and main
tenance during vacation periods.
Trustees Funded Awards
"The Board of Trustees at the
December meeting funded a num
ber of fee scholarships, some of
which it is understood may be
used for the seven students," Dr.
Shaler explained.
A special offering will be re
ceived at tomorrow's University
Chapel service to aid in cover
ing the expenses of the students.
Cites Plan's Advantages
"I believe that the University
will not only be doing the refu
gees a service by having them on
campus, but also that their pres
ence will benefit our American
students and their continued ed—
ucation will help to relieve the
shortage of engineers and scien
tists in the United States," Dr.
Shaler said.
The arrangements for the stu
dents to come to the University
are being made by the Committee
on International Understanding
through World University Serv-
I ice, a national group that re
ceived part of the Campus Chest
funds.
Advisory Board to Meet
The Freshman Class Advisory
Board will meet at 2 p.m. Sun

- Smaller Units Sought

more and more desirable to en
able students to meet each other.

One counselor will be placed in
charge of the entire dormitory
project.
Student rooms will be double
rooms and the furniture arrange
ment has been designed so that

units. The lounges will be ac-1

President Nixon, in an opinion
hailed by supporters of civil
rights bills, said a majority of
the Senate can change the
chamber's rules at the start of
a new Congress if it wishes to.
Nixon Opposes Rule
Nixon declared that, in his
view, a 1949 rule permitting
endless filibustering on any
motions to alter the rules is
unconstitutional.
But backers of the rules
change failed to muster,a ma
jority.
Defeat of the proposal was
a blow to senators who had
hoped to pave the way for the
enactment of civil rights bills,
but some of them said they felt
such legislation still could be
passed in the new Congress.

Lion Predicts
Wet Weather
The Nittany Lion placed his
snow shovel back in his den last
night 'and vowed that he would
never again believe a weather
report, even though precipitation
is again expected tomorrow.
He appeared to be very angry
as he took his
early stroll ,„0 7
around campus
this morning,
and refused to
be softened by
the sincere
apologies of the
weatherman.
The warm
front that was
supposed to col
lide with colder
air masses to
provide participation yesterday
failed to combine with the cold
air, but another front today is
expected to bring rain or snow
by tonight.
Tomorrow is predicted to be
partly cloudy and windy with a
high temperature of about 30-35
degrees.
Last night's low was forecast
at 25 degrees.
