The bronze trophy has a large victory figurer mounted on the cover and four large eagles mounted on the round ebonized base. The trophy will probably be rotated for 15 years, according to Reidenbaugh, since there are 15 metal engraving plates located around the base. May Buy Sister Trophy This year's Spring Week Com mittee • will recommend to next year's committee that the sister t ophy be purchased so that the two groups working together will each have one. In previous years one perman ent trophy has been awarded which has usually been rotated among the two groups working together. In addition trophies will be awarded to groups winning the separate events in Spring Week. Other Trophy Winners Eighteen trophies will be awarded for the first, second and third place winners in each of the three categories of the Mad Hatters Contest and Carnival; one trophy for. the winner of the He- Man Contest and nine medals for the runnersup; one trophy for the Queen of Hearts Contest winner; and one trophy for the winner of the Miss Penn State Coronation and four smaller tro phies for the finalists. Ike For Calls Efforts Futile Severe Budget Cut WASHINGTON, March 27 (JP)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower said today it is futile to talk about making "severe" cuts in his $71.8 billion budget. It is futile, he said, if the United States is to maintain, its position in the world and provide its citizens with pro- grams "agreed to be necessary." Eisenhower spoke out with Nigor and sharpness, telling his news conference: "This budget was not only made carefully, it was made intelligently." In earlier discussions of con gressional maneuvers to whack into, his spending plans, Eisen hower has been more regained, and his attitude has been one of rather mild agreeableness to the possibility of cuts. He went along with that stand today, to the extent of saying that of course it would be possible to "save money here and there, and I am all for it to the last dollar bill." - But today he got more pointed and, with a trace of annoyance, said that with some people it has become a - matter of becoming "economy conscious and - not re alizing what they are talking about." Tartly. he say it is a - lion to me 1( observed: "I must ry great satisfac ' find out there are STATE COLLEGE. PA., THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 28. 1957 meeting Wednesday afternoon. Ten faculty members seven, including Reen, from the Depart ment of Civil Engineering and three from the Department of Architecture —will be charged with the various responsibilities involved in conducting the sur vey, which is already underway. The 50 or 60 students would be needed to assist in vehicle and pedestrian counts during a week of field work sometime in May, Reen said. One-Day Job Most of the work would be con centrated in one day, but some of the students would be needed for checks at other times during the week. Reen indicated that some of the students would probably be engineering majors, but that he hoped to receive help on the survey from others through stu dent government. Reen also said the group was considering using a questionnaire for drivers. But, he said, distrib uting the questionnaires presented some problems which might make the plan unfeasible. He described the great bulk of the work as connected with the analysis of the parking situation and the preparation of a report of the survey, including recom mendations. Wiegand Says Walter H. Wiegand, director Of the physical plant, has said the survey may lead to the alleviation of the. problem within two years and the development of a long range solution within five years. Wiegand is the chairman of the University's 6-man traffic and parking committee which made the overall plans for the survey. Reen is also a member of the committee. Aerial Photos As part of the survey, aerial photography of the campus at specified hours throughout the day began on Monday, but was called off at noon because of (Continued on page four) so many economy-minded peo ple in Washington. They didn't use to be here." While Eisenhower seemed irked at criticisms of his budget as too' high—and turned truly angry at a question dealing with his per sonal expense to the taxpayer— he was relaxed and easy most of the half an hour he and the re porters spent batting questions ana answers back and forth. The question that got under his skin, and made him as coldly furious as anybody around the conference had ever seen him, was this one from William McGaffin of the Chicago Daily News: - Do you feel there are any economics you can make in the executive branch of the govern ment to help cut government spending? For instance, would you he willing to do without that pair_ of helicopters that have been proposed for getting you out to the, golf course a lit (Continued on-page eight) • FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Senate Suspends 2 Frosh For Possession of (ors The Senate Subcommittee on Discipline has suspended one freshman and giveii another a deferred suspension, both for possession of cars. A University regulation prohibits freshmen from having cars in Centre County. A freshman in pre-veterinary was suspended for the remainder of the semester when the committee found he had had a car for the past two and a half weeks. DG, KD, ZTA Set To Challenge Thetas Four sororities—inclt}ding defending champions Kappa Alpha Theta—advanced to the Interfraternity-Panhellenic Council Sing finals in preliminary competition last night in Schwab Auditorium. Delta Gamma, Kappa De compete with Kappa Alpha night in Schwab Auditorium. Kappa Alpha Theta has won' the sing for the past three years. Last year, they retired a rotating trophy for winning the sing three! consecutive times. 2nd ZTA Final Another finalist in this year's sing, Zeta Tau Alpha, was also a finalist last year. Judges for last night's prelim inary rounds were Mrs. A. Wil liam Hajjar, wife of A. William Hajjar, professor of architecture; Bernard P. Taylor, executive di rector of the Penn State Founda tion, and Dr. Martin McFeatters. Finalist song directors were Gail Gilman, Delta Gamma; Jean Wil son, Kappa Delta; Elizabeth An derson, Kappa Alpha Theta; and Patricia Kelly, Zeta Tau Alpha. Required Song The required song for sororities waE "Moments to Remember." The gr,yups could choose any other song to be sung with or without piano accompaniment. Ten other sororities participated in last night's preliminary compe tition. They were Beta Sigma Omicron, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Delta Delta and Alpha Xi Delta. Schedule Released Thomas Hollander an d Gail Kleppinger, co-chairmen of the sing, released a schedule for the four fraternity and four sorority finalists who will compete in the sing finals starting at 7 p.m. to morrow night in Schwab Audi torium. The list is as follows: Kappa Delta, 7:00; Delta Upsi lon, 7:05; Zeta Tau Alpha, 7:10; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 7:15; Delta (Continued on page eight) Lion Predicts Fair. Weather The Nittany Lion today issued a forecast for fair skies and some- 1 what warmer temperatures. The Lion has emerged as the new strong man of the weather department. In a startling move, the Lion late last ht led a band of animals into the Mineral Industries Build ing and pro claimed himself as dictator of the Meteorology De partment. There has been more than a little serious speculation around campus as to the pos sible effects of the bloodless coup. The Lion has as yet issued no formal statement, and his future plans remain a mystery. Today's forecast calls for clear ing skies and rising temperatures. High should be between 50 and - rgiatt to and Zeta Tau Alpha will heta in the finals tomorrow Walker Views Education Need President Eric A. Walker said at a Washington news conference Tuesday that many schools still need improvement in the instruc tion of science and mathematics. Dr. Walker said that "consider able has been done to improve the status" of such instruction, but "the great lack is good teach ers in these subjects," according to the Associated Press. Some engineering freshmen at the University, he explained, could skip first year mathematics. but that others had to review at the high school level. No state or region shows up as particularly good or bad in the caliber of stu dents they send to the University. Dr. Walker was in Washington attending a meeting of the Na tional Committee for the Develop ment of Scientists and Engineers. He is vice chairman. Froth Sales to Continue Froth sales will continue today at the same locations, Waring Hall, Hetzel Union Building, the Corner Room and the bulletin board on the Mall. Price is 25 cents. • Kowalski, Morgan Seek AIM Presidential Post Lawrence Kowalski, junior in arts and letters from Hazleton, and John Morgan, junior in business administration from Gilberton, were nominated last night for Association of Independent Men president. Nominations by the AIM board of Governors for vice president were, John Hess, fresh man in electrical engineering from Lehman, and Bruce Pell nitz, junior in education from Nes copeck. Daniel Thalimer, sophomore in education from Pittsburgh was nominated for treasurer. James Goodwin, AIM elec tions chairman, said there might be a question about Thalimer's eligibility because of scholas tic reasons. Elections will be held next Wednesday. Further nomination may be made next week by a member of the board or by a petition signed by 300 independent men. The elections will be held using a single transferable ballot with a simple majority required for election, according to Goodwin. The single preferential ballot assures election on the first bal lot by transfering votes from the lowest candidate to the remain ing ones until a simple majority is obtained. - New Cabinet See Page 4 The student told the commit. tee he had been using the car to go home on weekends to fol low the progress of his younger brother in scholastic wrestling competition. He said be had been keeping the car in town. The student's possession of the car was discovered when he was involved in an accident. He was injured slightly in the accident. Harold W. Perkins, assistant dean of men, said that the com mittee considered this a "clear cut" case of using a car for con venience. Freshmen are only al lowed to have cars if they have permission from the dean of men's office. The regulation prohibiting freshmen cars was passed in 1955 as a partial solution to the campus parking problem. Students are warned before they come to the University that possession of cars will render them liable to suspension. The regulation has been amend ed this year to include all of Centre County as off-limits for freshmen cars. Previously it had banned cars only in the State College vicinity. The second case involved a freshmen in business administra tion. The student was found to have had a car since the begin ning of the semester. He was suspended by the com mittee, but . the suspension was deferred because of extenuating circumstances. The student was ordered to take the car home, and warned that any further violation could bring suspension directly from the dean of men's office. The student was found to have the car when he was apprehended by State College police for driv ing too fast for conditions on a borough street. He told the com mittee he had been keeping the car in a fraternity parking lot. The board approved a mo tion by James Tipton, Town Independent Men president, to extend the length of acceptance speeches from three to 10 min utes. William Johnson, AIM judicial board of review chairman, will swear in the new officers im mediately after elections, accord ing to Goodwin. Candidates who expect to be nominated next week should sub mit a letter stating their name and the office which they seek to Lash Howes, AIM president. In other business, the Board heard • a motion proposing a change in the qualifications for AIM president. The amendment to the Elec tions code would require the president to have a 2.4 or above All-University average in addi tion to fifth or sixth semester standing. _ The motion will be considered after elections.
