George M. laSt Thursda flicting speec Leader Absences Unexcused Bahrenburg said that there was no excuse for the absences be cause the chOge in the meeting was announced. Leonard • Rich ards, secretary-treasurer, tried to contact the absent members 15 minutes after the meeting was to begin but reported that they were either out of town or involved in other activities. The members present consti tuted a quorum—one over a ma jority —but Bahrenburg said he didn't think it was worthwhile to hold the meeting. These officers are enthusiastic when they're elected, he said, but when it comes to the end of the year, their interest dies out. "I've enjoyed working with Cabinet," he said, "but I'll be glad to get out of office—not as All- University president, but because of things like this." Initallation Scheduled Bahrenburg said that the new Student Council presidents, sched uled to be installed Thursday, will now be installed March 28 with the new All-University officers.

Garcia took the oath as the Philippines' fourth president tonight and ordered a state funeral, and national mourning for President Ramon Magsaysay. Magsaysay, 49, hero of the young republic's fight to crush the Communist Huk movement and establish a stable demo cracy, died Sunday in a plane crash. The country faced the pros pect of election turmoil in the choice of a new president next November. Garcia, 60, vice president and foreign minister, had just re turned from a Southeast Asia Treaty Organization meeting in Australia, when he raised his, l hand and swore the oath in a brief ceremony before Chief Justice Ri- 1 chardo Paras. To Carry on Program Alumni LaunCh '57 Fund Drive The 1957 Alumni Fund Drive of the University was launched last night with a meeting of class agents in Newark, N.J. and an other meeting will be held tomor row night in Philadelphia.

Taylor, director of the - Penn State Foundation, also will speak. A program of colored slides, titled, `For the Glory of Old State," will be presented bir Mi chael R. Lynch, instructor in agri cultural extension. Totirgiatt ......... Position All-University Offices President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Garcia promised "to carry on every item of the great political program to which President Mag saysay and the Nacionalista party have given their all and their best." Garcia pledged his administra tion would continue an uncom promising fight against Commun ism. A veteran of 33 years in Con gress, as governor of his home province on Bohol Island and as vice president, the stocky Garcia is considered a strong proponent of Magsaysay's pro-Western poli cies. Political chiefs agreed that the loss of Magsaysay's strong leader ship of his Nacionalista party in the November elections could throw the nation into turmoil. Foregone conclusion His renomination had been a foregone conclusion. The Liberal part y, floundering from two crushing defeats, had even come around to supporting him for re election. Now it may put up a, candidate of its own. Four men had been mentioned as Magsaysay's running mate. But it remained to be seen whether they would emerge as presidential timber. They include Garcia, an amiable Nacionalista member of the Old Guard, rated as having the inside track for vice president. Area Light Failure Due to Bad Cable A. cable blew out early yester day morning near Atherton Hall causing a one hour light failure in the area. Emergency power was directed to the area from the West Penn Power Co., according to Harold E. Byers, forenian at the University power plant.
