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

'Brotherhood'
Fund Campaign
Set Monday
Claude H. Decker, borough bur
gess, has proclaimed Monday as
Brotherhood Day for the benefit
of the University’s Hungarian
Student Assistance Committee’s
drive to aid seven Hungarian ref
ugee students.
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.”

Shepilov
Gromyko Gets
Minister's Post
MOSCOW, Feb. 15 (JP)— The
Soviet government changed
foreign ministers today, re
lieving bushy-haired Dmitri
Shepilov after only eight
months in the office. 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.
