The State liege Airport Au
thority will conduct a survey to
get a consensus on an airport
for the area..
The Authority met Tuesday
night to discuss tentative plans
for the survey.
Dr. Roger Saylor, sampling con
sultant for the Authority, pre
sented a list of contacts in the
borough he had prepared. He
stated he would need about 40
volunteer interviewers to conduct
the survey.
20 Volunteer
About 20 are already lined up,
and several more were obtained
from the group of citizens on
band for the meeting.
Dr. Marklin K. Gingrich, who
attended a session of the Penn
sylvania Aeronautics Commission,
said that the PAC had asked
State College to come up with a
definite proposal for air service
"not only for the borough but
for the area." ,
Area Service Sought
In connection with such an area
plan, State College has been asked
by a representative of the Dußois
Airport Authority to meet in or
der to discuss broad area service:
It is felt by the Dußois group
that the area would be served
better liy two airports one in
State College and one in Dußois
—than by one airport in Philips
burg.

itory counselor.
The student, who had a 1.00
average for the first semester,
was previously placed on office
probation for bre:.king into the
University skating rink and sleep
ing overnight because there was
"too much noise in the dormi
tory." The AIM board said this
offense was taken into considera
to in reaching its decision.
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.
A Nittany area counselor re
ported the student in the fire
cracker incident. At approximate
ly 2 a.m., the counselor said he
found a "live" firecracker pinned
to his window sill after seeing
the student strike a match while
crouched near the window.
The counselor said he shouted,
"Don't light that," to the student,
suspecting he was lighting a fire
cracker. Earlier that night a fire
cracker was exploded near the
dorm.
Wanted to See Student
The student said that he want
ed another member of the dorm
itory, whose room is next' to the
counselor's, to wake him for an
8 o'clock class the next morning.
He said he tried to arouse the
dorm mate by knocking on his
door, but without results. He then
went outside, clad only in paja
mas, to the second student's win
dow and awakened him.
While standing at the window,
the freshman said he noticed
"something" fastened to the coun
selor's window sill. He said he
struck the match to see what the
object was and also to light a
cigarette which he was carrying.
The student added that when
leaving the dormitory he ob

'Service Revue' May Replace
Axed Spring Week Festival
An All-Service Revue, presented in Recreation Hall by nationally known entertainers
who are members of the armed forces, may replace the Spring Week outdoor festival
blocked last week by the Senate Committee on Student Affairs.
Robert Krakoff, Spring Week chairman, will appear before the committee at 3 p.m.
today to present the plan.
If the committee members refuse to approve the plan, Krakoff said, he will present
two other alternatives for their
consideration.
"We must get approval and get
started on some type of plan," he
said. He indicated that there will
definitely be an event on May 2,
the Thursday night of Spring
Week, and that the Spring Week
committee cannot waste time by
presenting a number of plans in
dividually to the Senate commit
tee.
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.

Police had intended to ar

four pledges so that they could
be tried here in State College.
But because of the age of the
four—they are only 17 and
juveniles in the eyes of the law
—it was agreed by Centre
County District Attorney John

University of Maryland to close
the case by trying the three
students who are here on
charges of disorderly conduct,
and allowing Theta Chi to
make monetary restitutions to
Alpha Chi Rho.
The three were tried yester

The four looters carried out
early Sunday morning $l3OO
worth of furniture and cloth
ing. Taken were 10 overcoats,
two end tables, six lamps, a

and a hi-fi set.
The three "volunteers" who
have been in detention here re

way at 320 East Hamilton Ave.
and informed Alpha Chi Rho
of its location by anonymous
phone call.
They have been in detention

College. Their car was im
pounded by police.
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. When the music festival was
proposed, representatives of the
magazine indicated that it would
featu- a the week in a spring issue,
if the festival included celebrities
and were an integrated part of
Spring Week.
Overall Plans Held Up
Members of the Senate commit
tee held up approval of the over
all plans for the week because
they believed the proposed out
door festival was too much of an
extravaganza and not a true edu
cational endeavor, Krakoff told
Cabinet last week.
He said the committee members
rid not oppose an alternate Om.
ut offered some suggestions to
make it acceptable to them, in
cluding "toning down" the festi•
val and moving it indoors to Rec
reation Hall
