Chapel Choir Ends
Preliminary Plans
For Summer Tour
By MARIAN BEATTY
The University Chapel Choir is Europe-bound again this
summer.
The choir has completed preliminary plans for a concert
tour through seven European countries, the second such tour
in the history of the organization.
Council Plans
Career Day
Exposition
The Engineering Student Coun
cil decided Tuesday night to com
bine an "industrial exposition"
with the regular lecture series for
the
,college's annual Career Day.
The program is sch puled for
the latter part of the next semes
ter.
Robert Stroup, junior in indus
trial engineering from Muncy,
proposed that an exposition held
in conjunction with the lectures
would help to stimulate interest
in Career Day and make it a
greater success.
Council Passes Proposal
The Council voted to try to pro
cure a large enough place for the
displays and to contact companies
who would be interested in plac
ing a display in the exposition.
Stroup pointed out that stu
dents become tired of merely at
tending lectures, and the .exposi
tion would give them something
to see as well.
He also stated that this plan
had been successful at other uni
versities where it has been tried.
Newsletter Scheduled
The first Engineering Newslet
ter of the year is scheduled to
come out sometime in the early
part of next semester. It will be
an expanded version of the pre
vious issue.
The American Rocket Society
was voted admittance to the coun
cil "and will hereafter have a rep
resentative at the meetings.
The next meeting of the coun
cil will be held on Feb. 12 in
217 Hetzel Union.
Merchant Fined

Men Shop on South Allen St., was
fined $lO and ordered to pay S 9
costs after pleading guilty to
charges of disorderly conduct at a
hearing yesterday before State
College Justice of the Peace Guy

The charges were filed by Ro

Daneker said that he and three
other students visited the store

STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10. 1957
The tour, which will last six

concerts in most of these cities,
and will also attend music festi
vals in Cheltenham, England and

60 Plan to Make Trip
In this respect, the trip is very
similar to the first one, which
was made during the summer of
1955.
Approximately 50 choir mem
bers and 10 alumni are now plan
ning to make the trip. More may
be added next semester, Mrs.
Taylor said.

The itinerary of this summer's
trip is almost completely different
from that . of the 1955 trip, Mrs.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Eden
Cites
LONDON, Jan. 9 (JP)—Sir Anthony Eden, choking back tears, resigned tonight as
prime minister—with the explanation his health prevented his continuing.
Richard Austen Butler, Conservative party leader in the House of Commons, seemed
to most politicians to be Eden's likely successor.
The leader of the opposition Labor party, Hugh Gaitskell, called for a general elec
tion "because the whole Cabinet
has publicly identified themselves
completely with the foreign policy
pursued . . . in the last three,
months."
But Conservatives won their,
last election in May 1955 and
have three years to go before an
other is necessary.
Possibility of Election
But as the majority party they
could call one at any time they
desired, or political developments
could force them into one.
Eden, 59, stepped down while
the repercussions still were sound
ing from the ill-starred invasion
of Egypt he authorized in Octo
ber.
Lion Expects
More Snow;
Plans Hike
The Nittany Lion completely
changed his ways this morning
and started out on an extended
hike up Mount Nittany.
With continuing snow expected
today, the Lion figured that he
may as well forget about trying
to avoid it and begin enjoying it.
Spending th e
entire day in his
den yesterday
proved to be
fairly boring
anyhow, so he
rolled out of the
sack early to find
his snow shoes,
which had been
stored since last
winter and pack
ed a good lunch
from his refrig
erator stocked with leftovers from'
a West Halls dining room.
Additional snow and rain were
forecast for last night with a low
temperature of 20 degrees.
Continued cold temperatures
and snow are expected today with
a high of about 25, according to
the University weather station.
Champion Steer
Visits Campus
The University's world cham
pion steer, P. S. Troubadour,
which was sold for more than
$20,000, is visiting the campus for
a few days before going on to the
Pennsylvania Farm Show in Har
risburg next week.
The steer was sold last month
at the Chicago Livestock Expo
sition to the White Sulphur
Springs Hotel.
P. S. Troubadour will stay at
the beef barns until sometime
Sunday morning. Richard Sour,
University herdsman, said that
anyone may see the steer at any
time while he is on campus.
otirgiatt
Resigns Post;
Poor Health
Resigns With 'Regret'
He resigned with "utmost re
gret." saying:
"I do not feel that it is right
for me to continue in office . . .
knowing that I shall be unable
to do my full duty."
The new prime minister is ex
pected to take office tomorrow.
Butler, 54, is a cool, intellectual
type who has spent most of his
career as a quiet theorist in poli
tics.
Shortage of 'Common Touch'
Both he and Harold Macmillan,
another possibility for the job,
are short on what is known as
"the common touch." But so was
Eden.
Macmillan, 62, is chancellor of
the exchequer—boss of the na
tion's austerity program.
Dark Horse Possible
There still was a chance that a
dark horse might emerge for the
job, and among those mentioned
in this category was Duncan
Sandys, Sir Winston Churchill's
son-in-law.
Eden succeeded Churchill in
April 1955.
The dominant party in the
House of Commons forms Brit
ain's government. It normally
designates the prime minister,
subject to the approval of the
sovereign, in this case Queen
Elizabeth II to whom Eden sub
mitted his resignation.
Housing Lists Available
Lists of approved downtown
housing are available at the dean
of men's office as a result of re
cent contacts with home owners.

State Weighing
Trout Payoff
Stanley Smith. president of the
State F;sh Commission, said yes
terday that it still was not known
whether the University would
have to pay for the trout poisoned
Dec. I in Spring Creek.
The trout were killed by a solu
tion of sodium cyanide released
from the University's Naval Ord
nance Research Laboratory.
Smith said the legal depart
ments of the University, the Fish
Commission and the state Sani
tary Water Board would have to
determine whether the Univer
sity, as a state institution, could
be made to pay:
Gov. George M. Leader has
'suggested that the Federal goy
' ernment might be asked to pay
for the fish since it was the Naval
'Laboratory that caused the poi
soning.
The State Fish Commission has
set the value of the fish at 574,441,
or about 50 cents each, and sail'
its official count of the number
killed was 147,072.
