Faculty Vetoes Adding ROTC To LA College By RALPH MANNA Collegian Assistant Copy Editor The faculty of the College of the Liberal Arts yesterday voted against integration of a School of Military Affairs and Civil Defense into its college or any other college of the University. With this action, the faculty not only opposed a report by a committee established to study the integration, but also en dorsed a substitute motion pro posed by Warren S. Smith, asso ciate professor of theatre arts. His substitute motion was: "That the Liberal Arts faculty op pose all points recommended by the committee and especially the philosophy of integration of the military into the academic struc ture of the University." Smith said that military edu cation should be on the peri phery of the University. "At least one knows where it begins and where it ends," he said. "Not only would I be opposed to military integration in this col lege," he said, "but also I would be opposed to integration of the military program into any college of the University." The "points" referred to in 'Smith's substitute motion were ( those included in the report by the committee set up to study the military integration first proposed by the Senate Committee on Edu cational Policy. The points were: • "That the work of the various military and civilian defense un its on campus be coordinated by a civilian academic officer of the- University, • "That there be established a School of Military Affairs- and Civilian Defense as an integral part of the College of the Liberal Arts, with the civilian coordinator as its director." Dr. Ruth C: Silva, associate professor of political science, and a mambor of the study com mittee, told the faculty that "To be honest, I really didn't have much to do with this report." There were only three commit ' tee meetings, she said, and she was excused from two of them. But she said, "After studying the structure of military educa tion most of it seems to be man ual of arms and physical educa tion having nothing to do with Liberal Arts. "Also, 'citizenship training' has a militaristic ring." The pertinent point, she said, 'was that the Liberal Arts faculty "won't have any check over what the military does but 41 militafy (Continued on page eight) Gets Fros I ndef Susp: finite nsion inittee on discipline (Committee on Stu as placed a Uni an on immediate T. pension and has E r students deferred The subcorn of the Senate dent Affairs versity fresh indefinite s given two of suspensions The subcom ittee - changed the recommendati •n of Tribunal from immediate expulsion to indefinite suspension for the freshman's part in the planned panty raid on Wo men's Building Sunday night. Two other students were handed deferred suspension until the end of the semester ,and suspension until February '1959 as a result of their part in the mob demonstra tion. A fourth student involved in the incident received office proba tion, which was changed from Tri bunal's recommendation of disci plinary probation. In another case involving a stu dent caught carrying pitchers out of the La Galleria restaurant March 29 and held on a disorderly conduct charge by State College police, the subcommittee upheld the recommendation of Tribunal for disciplinary probation. The change from immediate ex pulsion to immediate indefinite suspension states no time limit for the, suspension and does not prohibit the student from re-en tering the Uni'ersity. The two who were given de ferred suspension will be allowed to complete the semester. They will be suspended until the end of the fall semester and any act of misbehavior from now until the end of semester will result in their immediate suspension. . In the three and one , half hour meeting, the subcommittee re viewed the - recommendations of Tribunal and conducted its own review of the case.

No. 130 STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 25. 1958 FIVE CENTS Cabinet Will Seek Lectures Series An All-University Cabinet committee will study a proposal for a lecture series—com parable in scope to the present Artists Series—in an attempt to have a plan ready for possible approval for presentation next year. Liberal Arts Student Council President Louis Phillips, who made the proposal at last night's Cabinet meeting, said such a program could bring to the campus "speakers of the Wyand 'Confident' Of Getting Funds C. S. Wyand vice president for development, says he is "quite serene" over the prospects of the University obtaining the funds to more than double its annual budget by 1970. Wyand, speaking at the Industrial Exposition banquet Wednesday night at the Eutaw House, said he is "confident" the University will get the funds for an annual budget of more •than $lOO million by 1970. The Board of Trustees considers a $lOO-million-a-year budget a "conservative" estimate of the University's needs by, 1970. Wy and said the figure does not take inflation into account. The present annual budget is slightly more than 442 million. about 38 per cent, or some $l5 million, of which is provided by the state. Wyand, the University's 'chief contact with the _ State Legisla ture, said the state will have to continue providing about 38 per cent of the University income in order that it can prepare for the "horde of young hopefuls" who will be seeking admittance. This means the University will be seeking an annual appropri ation of $3B million from the state. This is about $8 million more than it now receives from the state for two years. Wyand's confidence the Univer sity will - get the necessary money for a $lOO-million-a-year budget comes on top of the state appro priating what President Eric A. Walker has termed a "disaster budget" for the current biennium. The slate legislature appro priated more than $3O million for the current biennium, or ' about $l5 million toward its annual income. Walker request ed Gov. George M. Leader to ask the legislature to approve an annual budget of approxi mately $l9 million, or some $3B million for the biennium, Leader, in his budget message to the last session of the General Assembly, recommended $27.9 million for the biennium, or an annual figure of less than $l4 million. The General Assembly raised the figure to more than $3O million, but this was still con sidered by Walker as 'a "disaster budget." Wyand also said the Univer sity's other sources of income, (Continued on, page eight) small and crowded" for present needs. Among the suggestions for . HUB expansion were larger reading rooms, an enlarged Lion's Den. and more music room space. Feldstein said in, an interview that a member of the adminis- I tration bad asked for student opinion on what should be in cluded in the HUB enlargeriient. He said the _ committee will try to determine the feeling of stu dents on what should be included in the addition, and also consult other schools nn their union build ings. The committee will report to Cabinet next semester, he said, and the report if approved will be presented to the University as a recommendation. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Big 3 Urges Russia to Plan Summit Talks WASHINGTON OP) The Big Three Western Powers urged Rus sia Thursday to buckle down to serious work on preparations for a possible summit conference. U.S. officials think the Soviet reaction to this may indicate whe ther the Kremlin is anxious to get ahead on summit issues or is backing away from a top-level meeting. Identical notes delivered in Moscow by ambassadors of the United States, Britain and France avoided tough talk. In effect they turned down a proposal by For eign Minister Andre Gromyko that he should discuss summit problems separately with each 'of the three ambassadors instead of meeting with them jointly. What complications might arise the notes did not say. But Western leaders have made no secret of their belief that the Soviets would seek through separate talks to raise and exploit differences which might divide them. The notes went on to ,say that ,the three powers "suggest to the 1- Soviet government that joint meetings between the three am bassadors and the Soviet foreign minister should begin immediate ly. —Daily Collegian photo by Don von Wolffradt GREAT EXPECTATIONS—Guy Eroh, j unior in animal husbandry from Pottsville, grooms a steer in preparation for the Little Inter. national Livestock Show tomorrow.

All-University Pr es i dent Jay Feldstein said he will appoint a chairman and a committee within the next few days in an effort to get the necessary work done for early submission to the adminis tration. If the committee's work and recommendations are accepted at the Cabinet meeting of May 15 'or 22, Feldstein said, the request can be made to the Board of Trus tess when they meet June 7. Feldstein said he has spoken to President Eric A. Walker about the program and that "Prexy thinks it's a wonderful idea." Phillips, in an interview, said three of the main questions which will have to be answered in this study are: •Who would pay for the series? •Who would choose the speak ers to be presented? •Would students support the series with their attendance? Feldstein said persons he has talked to about the program have said that speakers of the calibre desired would cost about $lOOO. However, he added, newspaper men or radio personalities might be obtained and their expenses paid by their employers "as a good-will gesture." The problem of students attend ing, Phillips said, would have to be determined, but, he added, "everyone was pessimistic ►.bout student attendance when the Ar tists Series was being discussed last year." Phillips emphasized that it is not too late to get such a program under way for next year. He said this year's Artists Sei ies was set tip by Dr. Albert Christ-Janer in 30 days over the summer.
