Speaking for passage of the bill,
he said it is the state’s “duty” to
assure educators a salary “some
where near the national average
paid by other comparable state
aided universities.”
He said it is also the state’s
duty “to restore the faith we have
in higher education by unani

Only six per cent of the stu
dents indicated they preferred
a fraternity where members
drank a lot. Twenty-one per
cent said they would rather be
long to a dry house.
The freshmen were split 50-
50 on the question of whether
dry parties arc more or less
enjoyable than those where al
coholic beverages are served.
“A promise of congenial
friendship” is considered the

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
ICCB Gets OK
Of Senate Unit
For Constitution
The Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs has approved a con
stitution for the Intercollege
Council Board.
The constitution was also ap-i
proved by a two-thirds vote of
All-University Cabinet March 28.
The constitution gives ICCB the
power to distribute Cabinet-bud
geted funds to the college student
councils. The board is composed of
the presidents of the nine college
student councils.
Joseph Eberly, former president
of the Chemistry and Physics
Student Council, who presented
the constitution to Cabinet, said
ICCB needed a constitution to dis
tribute the $lBOO it is allotted
under the budget for next year,
the first time the board will have
such a power.
The constitution provides for
distribution of $lOO to each coun
cil and an additional $4O com
pensation to the president of each
council.
The rest of the money will be
distributed as the board sees fit.
The' constitution also provides
for the election of a chairman
and a secretary. The- officers will
be elected at the board’s next
meeting.

Criticism
Good Thing
WASHINGTON, April 10 (iP)_
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
took a be - kind - to - everybody
stance today and turned the other
cheek to critics of his budget,
highway speed and helicopters.
The chief executive was in an
amiable mood in telling his news
conference he doesn’t believe that
"criticism that is honest and fair
hurts anyone”—himself included.
He said "criticism of public fi
gures is a good thing” and that
clashes over his legislative pro
gram are only natural.
Unhurt by Criticism
Furthermore, Eisenhower said
he doesn’t think criticism has hurt
his health. He ignores the per
sonal variety, he said, respects the
type based on honest differences
of opinion and conviction and just
goes on trying to do his duty.
He did say that sometimes peo
ple probably get more heated than
is necessary, and he believes that
in these times "we-cannot use the
governmental processes or limit
ourselves to the governmental
processes that were applicable m
1890.”
Budget Question
That was as close as he came
to cracking back at Sen. Gold
water (R-Ariz.) for calling his 72-
billion-dollar budget a “betrayal”
of public trust.
Eisenhower also said the United
States cannot "by any manner of
means assume that we are not
going to get satisfactory arrange
ments” in direct negotiaitons with
Egypt for concessions in opera
tions of the Suez Canal.
Blood Drive Nets

of blood were donated yesterday

Red Cross blood drive, bringing
the total collected to 380, 220 pints
short of the 600 pint goal.
Theta Chi fraternity with 60
per cent and Sigma Sigma Sigma
sorority with 20 per cent of their
members donating blood won the
trophy cups awarded by Alpha
Zeta, sponsoring fraternity.

to sell themselves to prospec-
tive members.
Another important point was
the prominence of on-campus
houses in the students’ opin
ions. No on-campus house
ranked below 13th in the
“three best” category.
The report added that "off
campus houses need to be
known and lo go prospecting.**
Wellington was assisted in
the survey by dormitory coun
selors, who distributed and col
lected tlie forms used. The
forms were coded by an IBM
machine and Wellington did
the analysis and wrote a report
on the results.
