Probation Recommended In other cases, the board recom mended judicial probation for two second semester freshmen for bringing beer into a dormitory and judicial probation for two other freshmen who violated the Interfraternity Council's drinking code.

Ike Wants 'Pressured' WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 M—President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared tonight "the United Nations has no choice but to exert pressure upon Israel" to get her troops out of disputed Mideast areas. Eisenhower thus threw out an apparent hint that the United States stands ready, if a showdown comes, to support some kind of United Nations sanctions against Israel for her failure thus far to heed UN demands to withdraw. But the President coupled with the hint a statement that "we still hope" Israel will accept U.S. assurances and go along with the UN demands. Eisenhower spoke out in a half hour radio-television report to the nation on his administration's efforts—so far unavailing—to settle the latest Middle East crisis without sanctions against Israel. He opened his talk, broadcast worldwide by the Voice of America, with the solemn statement: "The future of the United Nations and peace in the Middle East may be at stake." Eisenhower's talk went step by step over the situation as he saw it. In a warning to Israel he said: "The United Nations must not fail. "I believe that—in the interests of peace—the United Nations has no choice but to exert pressure upon Israel to comply with the withdrawal resolutions." And then he offered the Israelis a way out: ."Of course, we still hope that the government of Israel will see that its best immediate and longterm interests lie in compliance with the United Nations and in placing its trust in the resolutions of the United Nations and in the declaration of the United States with.reference to the future." Eisenhower spoke shortly after the UN announced a postpone ment, the third this week. of General Assembly debate on the ques tion of sanctions against Israel. The announcement said that at United States request debate was being put off from tomorrow until Friday on an Asian-African bloc move to impose UN economic ;strictures against Israel in an effort to force withdrawal of Israeli 'forces from the Gaza Strip and the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba.

May Ask Cabinet OK Krakoff said that if the Senate approves one of the three plans, he will ask its approval by AR- University Cabinet when he re ports on Spring Week planning progress tonight. The two proposals described by Krakoff as alternatives to the AU- Service Revue are a concert by a nationally-known jazz or other musical group and a variety show similar in content to the discarded festival program. The proceeds from whatever event is approved for Thursday night will go to national charities and to the Penn State Student Scholarship Fund. Will Not Seek Funds Krakoff said the Spring Week committee will try to arrange the indoor event on a service basis, which would eliminate the need for advance funds for expenses and retainers. He said he will def initely not repeat the request he made .o Cabinet last week for $2OOO for these purposes. Krakoff said he knew of no change in the plans of Life maga zine for a possible article on Spring Week in a forthcoming is sue.
