raid, "there is some hope" that
Red China will agree to negotiate
a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait.
Eisenhower spoke out in a ma
jor Far Eastern policy speech
carried to the people on televi
sion and radio and beamed
abroad.
Eisenhower described the pre
sent Far East tensions as serious
but he said:
"I believe that there is not go
ing to be any war."
"But there must be sober real
ization by the American people
that our legitimate purposes are
again being tested by those 'who
threaten peace and freedom ev
erywhere.'
Eisenhower likened Red de
mands that the United States
force the Chinese Nationalists to
surrender Quemoy and other off
shore islands to demands for
peace at any price evident at
Munich before World War 11.
"Some misguided persons have
said that Quemoy is nothing to
become excited about," he said.
Eisenhower said the United
States would neither be "lured or
frightened into appeasement" be
cause of Red China's massive
bombardments and threats to in
vade Quemoy and other National
ist-held islands. He added:

The event will climax a week
of activities designed to acquaint
new students with each other and
with the school.
In preparation for this fir s t
Class Night program, a meeting
of all students who auditioned
for the talent show will be held
at 10 a.m, today in the Hetzel
Union assembly room.
Robert Navarra, secretary of
the Boar d of Dramatics and
Forensics, which is sponsoring
the class night, said the meet
ing will be held to run through
the act again so that he can ar
range the final program for the
talent show.
He said the response to the call
for acts to audition was far
greater than he had anticipated
and made this second meeting
necessary. Because of the large
amount of talent available, he
said, it will be necessary to
elim
inate some of the acts which
auditioned. '
A dress researsal will be held
tomorrow afternoon for the acts
which are selected this morning.
Navarra said the program for
the talent show will consist pri
marily of vocal talent —mostly
soloists—and will include comedy
skits and instrumental numbers.

Penn State's football fortunes soared downward yester

Caye would be missing for the season.
Caye, who tore a ligament in his left knee Monday after

AM Station
Is Tabled
By Trustees
Editortal irm Page Six
There are no senior class
gift funds and there hays
been none since 1948, Presi
dent Eric A. Walker said yes
'terday.
Unknown to the students, and
many administration officials in
cluding Walker himself, the Uni
versity has been footing the bill
for gift choices of the senior class.
But it can no longer be expected
to do so, President Eric A. Walk
er said yesterday.
Before 1948 the gift funds came
from a damage deposit assessed
all students. When all student
fees wei e consolidated into one
general fee that year, the deposit
ceased to exist, Walker said.
The 1958 class gift $lO,OOO
for an AM radio station did
not receive an appropriation
from the Board of Trustees at
its June meeting. University
officials said the proposal was
last on the agenda and was
tabled by the trustees because
of the lateness of the meeting
hour.
But Walker said the trustees
unquestionably will decide on its
own merits whether the 'Univer
sity will establish an AM radio
station. A meeting is scheduled
for October.
The student body has never
been informed of the correct
source of income for the senior
class gift during the past 10 years.
James H. Coogan, director of
Public Information, yesterday
said Walker himself learned of
the situation only recently from
Carl R. Barnes, University comp
troller. Walker apparently was
not aware of the situation when
he accepted the 1957 and 1958
gifts
Walker voiced regret that the
students had not been better
informed and expressed confi
dence that classes will recog
nise demands on University
revenue which he said make it
impossible for the University
to continue providing for the
gift.
Walkei said the damage de
posit which provided the senior

leaves the right half spot in the

a speedy but somewhat brittle

Behind Paolone is sophomore
Don Jonas, who until this fall
had been a quarterback. He lacks
the speed to be a breakaway run

most serious, is only one of a mul-
