Restrictions on Use There will be regulations set up •as to who may call for the ambulance, in order to restrict its use. Dr. Glenn said that an added feature of having the ambulance will be to eliminate the necessity of hiring private ambulances for long trips as was done in the past, Lim9 Trips Facilitated He explained that the commu nity ambulance would not make trips,.lp excess of 50 miles, so that if -a patient had to--be, taken to a large city hospital, it was neces sary: to hire an ambulance - from t . one of the funeral homes - in the :areaz.

Elections Committee to View 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 the existence ,of the political party. And for the past two years we have been forced into the Abba Eban to Hold New Talks With Dag Hammarskjold at UN WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (if') -,- Secretary of State _ Dulles and Israeli Ambas sador Abba Eban, seeking a way out of the troops- in- Sinai deadlock, agreed today that Eban should hold new talks with Dag Hammarskjold 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 uled Dulles-Eban meeting last ed an hour and a half. No Formula There was no word on whe ther Dulles and Eban talked about a possible U.S.-sponsored formula im the UN for winning an Israeli withdrawal. _ FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA ; - SATURDAY MORNING,.MARC./3-2. 1957` background , unable to act as many of these problems have been ignored due to the adminis tration's domination of student government, specifically cabinet." "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." - (Continued on page two) 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 stood Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge likely would introduce a U.S. resolution tomorrow. . • Eban's Return 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 without UN sanctions. 2. Negotiations with Hain rnarskjold so far offer little ....^ T., 1 I ty _ ,:.:. V -of f 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 (Continued on page two) 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. By GINNY PHILIPS Eng Student Placed On Probation The College of Engineering and Architecture's committee on aca demic discipline has placed one student on disciplinary probation and placed a record in the office of the dean of the college concern ing a second student, both for cases of academic dishonesty. An eighth-semester industrial engineering student has be e n placed on probation until the fall semester of 1957 for using crib notes during a final examination, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, said. The cheating occurred in a Me chanics 14 final. Although the student is in his eighth semester, be does not plan to graduate until February 1957. The second case decided by the committee involved a second-se- I mester student in engineering architecture. The student was found guilty of looking on an other paper during a lab quiz. The committee will have a pro bationary memorandum concern ing the student's case placed in the office of the dean of the col lege, as well as in the office of the dean of men and the student's adviser. The probationary memorandum i 3 common procedLue in a first of fense when a student is found guilt of unpremeditated cheating, Simes said.
