Restrictions on Use
There will be regulations set

use.
Dr. Glenn said that an added
feature of having the ambulance
will be to eliminate the necessity
of hiring private ambulances for

Campus, Lion Planks Tonight
The All-University Elections Committee tonight will re
view the two political party platforms for the spring elections.
The committee will meet at 7 in 217 Hetzel Union
Chairman William Johnson yesterday said the group
must approve the platforms at least four days before cam-
paigning may begin
Under the All-University Elec
tions Cdde, the committee may
thlete or change any part of a
platform submitted to it by one
of the political parties.
The platform will be presented
by the clique chairmen, John
Bott, for Campus party and John
Godayte, for Lion party.
Godayte's Position
Referring to his platform, Go
dayte last night said: "For the
past two years Lion , Party has
consistently represented the basic
interest of Penn State students,
feeling this is the only reason for

that Eban should hold new

at the United Nations.
Eban rushed back to Wash
ington this morning to confer
with Dulles after meeting yes
terday in New York City with
Hammarskjold, the UN secre
tary general. The hastily sched

many of these problems have

"This Spring the Lion party
will present the issues it feels are
of prime importance to the av
erage Penn State Student rather
than to the select few in student
government. Campus party has
held the All-University Presiden
cy for the past two years and in
that time has initiated no real
istic political issues. This spring
with the help of the student body,
Lion party will see that these
issues no longer go Uri ) eeded."

At the UN, American dele
gation sources said work was
going forward on a U.S. pro
posal to get such a withdrawal
without imposing sanctions
against Israel. No details were
available, but it was under

Lodge likely would introduce
a U.S. resolution tomorrow.

The - decision that Eban
should return to New York
came after the ambassador was
reported to have told Dulles
that:
1. Eban found Hammarskjold
unmoved by his arguments on
behalf of a formula agreed to
last Sunday by Dulles and
Eban for withdrawing .Israeli
troops from two disputed areas

Borough Stores
Refuse to Try
Discount Plan
The merchants in State College have practically elimi•
nated any possibility of establishing a student discount ser•
vice by refusing to try the plan, according to Jacob Timbers.
head of the National Student Association committee on stu•
dent affairs.
Most of the merchants feel that their periodic sales on
merchandise eliminate the need
of a student discount. Also, Tim
bers said, some stores already pro
vide discounts, such as the Music
Room which gives a free record
with every ten bought.
Quality Would Suffer
If a discount is given to the
students, merchants said they
would be forced to reduce the
quality of the merchandise in or
der to make a profit. They said
this is because of the high over
head of operating a business in
State College. Also a discount
would probably start violent price
fluctuations in the borough, they
said_
The merchants were afraid that I
a large enough increase in turn
over would not result from a dis
count service. They said they do
not have sufficient sales from,
townspeople to make up for this
since BO per cent of their sales
come from students. They felt
that the service would work in a
'larger city where student sales
comprise only a minority of total
sales.
To Compare Prices
Timbers is now planning to
work with Eugene Fulmer, head
of the Chamber of Commerce,
to promote a better understand
ing between the merchants and
students. They will attempt to
show price comparisons in State
College in relatiori to other col
lege towns.
I Previously, students in frater
nities and dormitories were given
:questionnaires asking if they
'would be in favor of a discount
service. The majority of students
questioned did not feel that the
prices in State College compared
favorably with those in their
hometowns. The students said that
if a discount service were in ef
fect they would do more of their
shopping in State College.
Would Benefit Stores
A 10 to 15 per cent discount
was called for in the plan, ac
cording to Timbers. He felt that
it would benefit the merchants by
increasing their turnover and
would help the student by allow
ing him to buy merchandise at a
reduced rate. The service would
persuade many students to buy
merchandise who otherwise would
not do so because of the price. If

hope and Hammarskjold's atti
tude makes it difficult to con
tinue.
Gaza Control
3. Hammarskjold is insisting
that any UN forces stationed
in the Gaza Strip must act
merely as a transmission belt
for control, which they would
pass on from withdrawing Is
raelis to returning Egyptians.
The Israelis are determined not
to hand Gaza back to the Egyp
tians, saying the strip has been
a base for Arab commando
raids against. Israel.
4. Hammarskjold feels any
UN forces in Sharm el Sheikh,
which controls access to the
Gulf of Aqaba, could not be
used to prevent Egypt from re
imposing a blockade against Is
raeli shipping. The Israelis
want firm assurances of free
passage from the gulf.
