STATE COLLEGE. PA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. 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.

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.
These courses include Psychol
ogy 2, Sociology 1, Speech 437,
Music 5, Acounting 1, German 1,

Drama 481, Education 424, Chem
istry 2, Electrical Engineering 1
and Electrical Engineering 9.
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.
