Today's F< irecast: Freezi Rail VOL. 57. No. 85 net Again Kills to Hungarians Gobi Gift Editorial on page four All-University' Cabinet has again voted not to make a gift of $375 it loaned to five Hungarian students to pay book, clothing and other expenses. Thursday’s Cabinet vote was 13-8 with two abstentions. Last week Cabinet voted 12-11 not to make the money a gift. I Discussion was reopened Thurs day when Leonard Richards, All University secretary-treasurer, in troduced a motion to make the money a gift. Richards said the $375 is a negli gible amount and that most stu dents he talked to thought it should be given to the students. Appeared Grateful Philip Gottlieb said that he talked with the Hungarian stu dents and that they appeared grateful. Cabinet could make them feel it is a well-doer as well as _ a well-meaner by making a gift of the money, he. said, and it would be a good start for Brother hood Week. (Brotherhood Week! begins Monday.) i Dean of Men Frank J. simes,j who was present at the meeting, said'the United States government has brought the students, along with many other Hungarians, into the country free of charge as a gesture of good will. It would be a very poor ges ture, Simes said, for Cabinet to ask the students to repay the money. Substitute Motion Plant Blaze Results In $lOOO Loss State College firemen were called on yesterday morning to extinguish a $lOOO blaze in the heating plant of State College Cleaners, IOMr'W. College Ave. Luckily, a brick wall prevented the fire from reaching the ex plosive fluid in the adjoining cleaning portion of the plant. T. E. Sauers, Jr., chief of the Alpha Fire ’Co., estimated that damage to the heating equipment amounts to about $lOOO, but that smoke from the fire may yet prove to have caused more dam age. The stacks of clothing, although not reached by the fire, may have been damaged by the smoke, Sau ers said. Billows of smoke rose into the air, sometimes to a height of 50 feet, making it almost impossible for the firemen to. see. They had to use smoke ejectors to clear away the clouds. A petroleum-base residue of cleaning fluid, used to start the furnace, backfired and spread flames about the room, thus caus ing the blaze. No one was hurt in the fire. Firemen were called at 8:08 a.m. and had it under control by 8:35. Rockview Penitentiary To Undergo Rewiring The General State Authority has called for bids March 13 on construction of State Police pro jects at Bellefonte and York, ac cording to the Associated Press. The Bellefonte project includes rewiring of the electrical system at Rockview Penitentiary. The Associated Press did not say whether the project would include the chair. Dormitory Results The University Senate Subcommittee on Discipline yes terday-placed seven Nittany area students on disciplinary probation for the rest of the semester for gambling in the residence halls. The subcommittee followed up the recommendation on the case by the Association of In dependent Men Judicial Board of Review. One other case of gambling was reviewed by the Senate group in volving two students of the Pol lock area. One of the students, for whom. the AIM group recom mended disciplinary probation, appealed his case and the Senate committee delayed its decision until next week.' - More Cases In a third gambling case hand ed down by the AIM board, six West Dorm students were placed on judicial probation by the dean of men’s office. In accordance with this action, the violation will not be placed on the students’ permanent record. The AIM judi cial group warned the group against further violations and sug gested that-the students write to their parents explaining the inci dent and its outcome. Lash Howes, president of the Association of Independent Men, pointed out that the money was given •to the five students as a loan and that they understood it was a loan when they received the money. Howes introduced a substitute motion stating that the money loaned by Cabinet be repaid at the student’s convenience with no time stipulation. Howes said Cabinet must have faith in the American economy. The University is giving the stu dents an education, he said. (Each has a full academic scholarship.) When they graduate, Howes, said, they will be able to get good jobs. Within one year after being graduated, he said, the students should have no trouble repaying the loan. Giving the students the money as a gift would be destroy ing the American spirit of work ing for what is gained, he said. By making no time stipulation, he said, the students will have no fear of having to repay the loan by a fixed date. Gambling Probation By DENNY MALICK The Senate committee also placed a senior on disciplinary probation and withdrew his driv ing privileges for the remainder of his college career. The action was taken on recommendation by Tribunal. Charged With Misuse The senior was charged with misuse of an automobile, driving recklessly in a University park ing lot and provoking a campus patrolman with abusive language. The committee considered these offenses and the fact that the student was previously on disci plinary probation in reaching its decision. The Nittany area students who received probationary action were implicated in the offenses by George Kohlweiler Jr., of Waling ford, recently convicted on forg (Continued on page eight) FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA..

The fund-raising campaign, which will begin tomorrow, has set $3lOO as its goal. The burgess’ proclamation read as follows: “Whereas the university stu dents of Hungary have given courageous inspiration in their nation’s recent heroic bid for free dom; and Whereas, in so doing these young patriots have probably ex iled themselves forever from home and school; and Whereas, our community of State College has, from its incep tion, been a seat of learning; Now, therefore, I, Claude H. Decker, Burgess of State College, Pa., do hereby proclaim Monday, Feb. 18,1957, as Brotherhood Day. I therefore call upon my fellow citizens to open their hearts to those Hungarian students, who have, to our good fortune, sought sanctuary among us and learning in our University.” WH Council Nominations Nominations for West Halls Council president and vice presi dent will be held at Monday night’s meeting of the council in McKee Lounge.

Unsmiling Andrei Gromyko succeeded him. Westerners in Moscow believe the reshuffle is a signal for a re turn to the tough policies of form er Foreign Minister V. M. Molo tov. Dour, noncommittal Gromy ko rose to prominence under Mol otov, and is regarded as a follow er of Stalinist lines. Khrushchev Protege On the other hand, easy-spoken Shepilov was regarded as a pro tege of Nikita Khrushchev, first secretary of the Communist party. Last year Khrushchev down graded Stalin and adopted a let live policy toward independent i Communists in the satellites— j policies from which the Soviet party shows signs of retreating. Gromyko, as former ambassa dor in Washington and represen tative at the United Nations, has symbolized in Western eyes the Russian postwar habit of saying “No” and casting vetoes. Gromy ko staged a dramatic walk from the Security Council in 1946 to block action on continued Soviet occupation of northern Iran. No Purge There was no indication Shepi lov was being purged. He returns to his old post as one of the eight secretaries of the powerful Com munist party Central Committee under Khrushchev. He was re lieved of the secretariat job less than two months ago to allow him more time for his Foreign Minis try duties. Before his appointment as for eign minister to replace Molotov last June 1 he was editor of the party newspaper Pravda. _ His last important act as for eign minister was a major for eign policy speech to the Supreme Soviet last Tuesday. He proposed the big powers stop arms ship ments to the Middle East, with draw their troops and bases and join in cooperative economic de velopments.
