Feldstein said, "I feel in this, case it is difficult to draw a direct line of responsibility and it is unfair to present Lion Party offi cers to be held responsible for the debt." Feldstein sits on the committee as a representative of Cabinet. The bill was part of debts totaling $312.53 owed to the publishing company by Goday te and Gordon Pogal, clique chairman in 1955. Both men have graduated. The committe ruled previously it would not press Lion officers still enrolled for the debt incurred during Pogal's administration. Each of the- 13 officers elected in 1957 received a letter from the Election Committe stating the ruling and suggesting the debt be, divided equally so each individ ual would pay $11.93. William O'Neill, former Lion clique chairman, consented at the request .of Peter Fishburn, for mer Elections Committee chair-. man, to collect payments. Warm Weather To Continue The Lion decided today that he has been too lazy in this warm spring weather so he decided to show off his tennis prowess. However, when he reached the courts, he forgot about the big sports day that had been sched uled. The varsity tennis team was warming up for their e n counter with Buck nell but allowed him to give them a band in their practice, After chasing the ball all over the court (and only hitting back a few) he de cided to stick - to the bench. The weather for the match will be sunny and warm with the temperature reaching the 705., Campus to Choose New Party Officers Campus Parts will elect five All-University clique officers at 7 p.m. tomorrow in 10 Sparks: Bernard Magdovitz, present clique chairman, said only regis tered Campus patty members may vote.

Drastic Power Voted To Stop de Gaulle PARIS (M—The National Assembly overwhelmingly n drastic authority yesterday by Gen. Charles de Gaulle's voted Premiere Pierre Pfliml to fight any grab for power backers at home - and in Alger The vote was 461-114, the ment has received since World War 11. Charging there was a plot against the nation, Pflimlin even got all the Communist vote in his appeal for emergency powers to meet France's gravest postwar crisis. The rebellious committees of public safety in distant Algiers stood firm in demands for the re turn of De Gaulle to power. A committee spokes man declared Gen. Raoul Salan, the French commander-in Algeria, was on the committee side. There were these other major developments last night: o Two French air force generals serving with the French Joint Chiefs of Staff and with the top American command of Allied forces in Europe were reported arrested by national security forces. There was-no official announce ment, but French, sources said that Senior Class Gift LewellenCalisWDFM Decision Urgent By DIANE DIECK 'Fifth of. a Series Discussing AM facilities for WDFM, one of the five sug gestions to appear on the bal lot for the $lO,OOO senior class gift, Wilbur Lewellen, WDFM station manager said, "It is imperative to have action this year." "With three stations already ap plying to the Federal , Communi cations Commission for the limited nurpber of AM frequencies avail able in the area, -our filing for a frequency, assignment becomes extremely urgent," explained Le wellen.The station would broadcast on both AM and FM frequencies, as `the. expense for maintaining both would be little greater than the cost of present operations (around $3OOO per year.) According to Richard Schilpp. former station manager. the FOR A BETTER PENN STATE greatest majority any govern- two generals presumably were linked with alleged plots against the government. Reliable sources in the Interior Ministry identified the officers as Lt. Gen. Andre Challe, air deputy to Gen. Paul Ely, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Brig. Gen. Jacques Martin, Challe's deputy. • The Defense Ministry ordered all French troops on leave in France back on duty. •Police rounded up and later released about 300 Parisians on grounds of attempting to stage a public demonstration in defiance of a government ban. •The government filed a new John Doe complaint, charging con spiracy against the internal se curity of the state. Officials main tained silence on the action, but it presumably was intended to serve as an open warrant for possible arrests under the government's emergency powers. 510,000 class gift and the $5OOO WDFM reserve fund would be adequate for the installation of AM facilities. A recent survey reveals that a maximum 500 radios in the area receive the WDFM signal. Dr. Harold E. Nelson, faculty adviser to WDFM said, "AM facilities would be a motivation for better programming." Nelson said an AM station "should be predominantly edu• cational. "A high administration official, who asked that; his name be withheld from the statement, said, "We're not in the entertainment business." Nelson continued, "Utilizing the radio to extend classrooms is a good idea. Broadcasting classes, especially music and straight lec ture courses, is a - definite possi bility. Radio classes have proved extremely popular at the Univer sity of lowa, which broadcasts an introduction to music and an ori entation to religious courses. These courses would be an ad junct, not a supplement to the closed circuit TV courses which Niatt HEc, BusAd May Divide Hotel Ad The uncertain future of the hotel administration curricu lum probably will be resolved into a 2-year program in the College of Home Economics—beginning in the fall of 1959 and a 3-year program in the College of Business Administra tion, President Eric A. Walker said yesterday. In addition to implementing the plans on the main campus, Walk er said, probable recommenda tions to the Board of Trustees al so will ask eventual establish ment of the 2-year program at two University centers where it is hoped industry facilities could be used. Other probable recommenda tions listed by Walker are: •That the ?-year program lead to an associate degree; and that the 3-year program, designed to perpare students for executive and managerial positions, draw its enrollment from the 2-year program. •That the existing 4-year pro gram be retained for freshman entering in the fall and for stu dents now in the curriculum. The recommendations would come from a committee ap pointed last May t ) study the curriculum. The group is com posed of representatives of the Pennsylvania Hotel Associa tion, with W. A. "Spike" Kel ly, an assistant to the Presi dent, as executive secretary. The committee has consulted with the American Hotel As sociation and officials of several ' large hotel chains, it was report ed. Although Grace M. Henderson, dean of the Home Economics college, said in October that ho tel administration might be trans ferred to the Business Adminis tration college, uncertainty about the future of the cu• iculum was not made public until November. The Home Economics Stu- I dent Council on Nov. 12 un animously requested that the administration clarify rumors that the curriculum might be dropped. It was reported to the council that industry was withholding support because the curriculum was in the Home Economics college but that it was not wanted in the Business Administration col lege. But James P. Long, president of the Board of Trustee, recently said he believed hotel adminis tration would be strengthened rather than discontinued. are so successful here," Nelsoni added. "A non-commercial station would not co rn . pet e with WMAJ. The two stations' pro gramming would appeal to dif ferent audiences." Nelson said. Lewellen said students pay 20 cents per sefnester for WDFM without receiving much in return. "Of all the suggestions for the senior gift, AM facilities for. WDFM is the only one which would benefit students daily throughout the year," Lewellen said. W urn e r E. Kenworthy, ex ecutive assistant to the presi dent, said, "As an AM station would reach the public the University would be responsi ble for its broadcasts. There fore the station would of neces- sity be under administration supervision." A high administrative official, said the only problem involved the suggestion of WDFM's tran sition to AM facilities would be what to do with the $lO,OOO if the project proves impractical.
