Colder Weather Expected Today Wth the prospect of colder wea ther in the air, the Lion remained in his den this morning. Some of the neighbors inquired as to why' the Lion was not for. aging around the woodland for small game for his meal.. The Lion explained that he had some to o d on hand, an d besides he wasn't very hun- gry anyway - Actually, it is common k n o w- ]edge around the forest that the Lion's constant socializing has rendered him unable•to catch any thing fas t e r than a one-legged tree toad, and he does not want to embarrass himself by trying. The Lion can't be expected to be to happy anyw l ay. The weather man has predicted a high of only 25 to 28 this afternoon and a low of (brr!) 15 to 18.

FEBRUARY 20. 1957 Dr. Euwema said that the Mid dle Atlantic States Accrediting Association considers some of the accomplishments of the college "respectable if not spectacular." The college, Dr. Euwema said, ranks high in such fields as work of graduate students of the col lege in other universities, publi cations of faculty members, and percentages of failures as corn-, pared with other colleges in the! University. Sees No Big Differences He said there are no serious differences of opinion between the Liberal Arts faculty and the council. The only complaint he said he had about the investiga-' tion was the way it had been pub- 1 licized. He explained that he be lieves that an investigation such i las this can be more successful if [ carried on without publicity. A feeling of inferiority concern ing the quality of the college' seems to affect the council period-' ically, he said, but it is unfounded. He told the council that the colH lege ranks high in the University in percentage of failures in most courses, and there was not basis for the belief that liberal arts courses are easier to pass than other courses in the University. Explains Dismissals Dr. Euwema was asked if fac ulty members were dismissed if their work was considered -un satisfactory. He replied that fac ulty members attained tenure af ter seven years on the faculty, and after this time it is very dif ficult to dismiss them. This is for the purpose of. giving faculty members necessaly academic free dom. Before a faculty member reach es his tenure, however, he can be dismissed for sufficient reason without difficulty. In other business, the council, considered suggestions for a fac ulty adviser, but will investigate the availability of the men sug gested before making a final deci sion. Also, the budget was dis cilssed and approved. England's Costs Mount From Egyptian Invasion LONDON (W) The British Navy today added another two million pounds—ss,6oo,ooo—to the nation's bill for the invasion of Egypt.

White House in Squeeze Over Israel WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (PP) —President Eisenhower sped back from a Georgia vacation today to find himself and his administration . caught in a ter rific squeeze on the issue of sanc tions for Israel. On one side was an increasing body of congressional opinion against punishing Israel for her refusal to withdraw from Egyp tian territory without nonaggres sion guarantee. Arabs Cry to UN On the other side, the Arab world—which the United States has been wooing in an attempt to block Communist expansion in the Middle East—was crying for United Nations economic sanc tions if Israel doesn't pull out. There were two major develop- FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Raffle Stub Helps To Solve Crime A raffle ticket, three beer cans and a match cover led yesterday to the solution of the $l3OO burglary of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity house which occurred Sunday morning. The trail led to the University of Maryland chapter of Theta Chi fraternity. Alpha Chi Rho received an anonymous phone call at about 4 a.m. yesterday inform ing them that their missing furniture and clothing could be found stacked in a drive way at 320 E. Hamilton Ave. The incident probably would have ended right there with Al pha Chi Rho recovering the stolen ; goods and the looters remaining; a mystery, but several clues were; ,also found with the stacked furni ture and clothing. Clues Found There was a raffle ticket mark ed "Theta Chi," three empty beer cans from a Baltimore; Md., brew ery and a match co ,, er from the University of Maryland, all apLy i parently left in haste. 1 The fraternity group then de-1 'cided to have a look at the Theta, Chi house here, because of the l raffle ticket lead. Upon doing so, they found in the fraternity's i driveway a car bearing Maryland license plates and several beer 'cans from the same Baltimore brewery lying on the back seat. Police Informed They then informed the police who immediately went to the Theta Chi house to investigate. It was determined that four pledges had left the Theta Chi house in Baltimore Saturday ' night to come to State College, evidently in quest of a "prank" Ito pull. While riding around State Col lege at about 3 a.m. Sunday, they were impressed by the darkness land solitude of the area around the Alpha Chi Rho house, parked their . car, and entered the fra ternity undetected. After sitting in the house for about an hour, they began load ing items of furniture and cloth ing into their car. They then drove iright back to Baltimore. Cars Sent Back The fraternity at Baltimore, realizing the seriousness of the pledges' act, sent two cars of volunteers to State College to re turn the articles. These . "volunteers" were the ones who deposited the stuff in a driveway and then telephoned Alpha Chi Rho. One of the cars returned im mediately to Baltimore, but the second car was occupied by three students who stayed overnight at the Theta Chi chapter here in State College, where they were discovered yesterday morning by Alpha Chi Rho and the police.. These three Baltimore Theta Chi's are still here, having been instructed by State College police to remain pending further inves tigation. 4000 Take 18 Courses Through TV More than 4000 students are re ceiving instruction by television this semester, with 18 courses of fered in the instructional research program.

Television courses were offered for the first time in the spring semester of 1955. The three pio neer courses were Psychology• 2, Psychology 17 and Chemistry 1. The system of using two origi nation rooms so that two different courses could be taught by tele vision during the same hour was begun last semester. Leslie P. Greenhill, associate director of the instructional re search program, said there are a few technical difficulties remain ing in the simultaneous telecasts but that they should be ironed out soon. All the TV courses are given in Sparks with the exceptions of those in chemistry, given in Os mond and electrical engineering, in Electrical Engineering. The television system is used for laboratory work only in cour ses in metallurgy and Speech 200. Two $6OO Grants Open to Seniors Applications are now being ac cepted at the University for two John W.

Eisenhower went directly from' the airport to the White House to I grapple with the multiplying Mid dle Eastern problems. Waiting for him there was Secretary of State Dulles, who earlier in the day had given Israel assurances that the United States considers the Gulf of Aqaba is an international wat erway.
