matter was later referred to the
IFC.
Both students said they had no
thought of rushing but only were

discovered by the roommate of

Threatens Force
"CHOIR DIRECTOR" Andy Vanderslice leads his fellow class
mates in a "Short Yell, State."
Gung-Ho Andy Leads
FroshCustomsSinging
By LIANNE CORDERO
Andy Vanderslice is the self-appointed "choir director"
of,Vreshman Customs.
Andy, a freshman in arts and letters from Norristown,
has become a familiar and welcome song leader to the
upperclassmen who congregate at Schwab Auditorium to
put the frosh through their paces.
Andy, who has had no profes :
sional choral training and con
fesses "I can't sing at all," led
his first crowd of 175 freshmen
on Monday.
Since then his popularity and
technique have improved with
each day.
Yesterday Andy was found in
Ifront of Schwab as usual, but this
time he had his "chorus" ar
ranged in two orderly rows 'on
the steps—coeds in front, men
in back.
"It's easier to look at the girls
when they're in front," Andy ex
plained.
Andy's. favorite songs are the
"Alma Mater" and "F ig h t On
State." When the freshmen sing
"Fight On State," Andy makes
them put down their' books so
that they . can clap— •
Another technique Andy has
been using lately is to "audi
tion" the frosh before they sing.
Then he places the good singers
in the, middle; the bad singers
on the ends.
Today regular Customs will be
enforced until noon. The Customs
holidiy will last until 7 a.m,
Monday. Monday will be a Joint
Customs day.
No penalties were levied by
Freshman, Customs. Board last
night. The thfee freshmen who
appeared before the board were
dismissed • when it became evi
dent that they were victims of
"hazing" by 'upperclassmen.

Motors and Chrysler Corporations. ,

decisions will be reached shortly
at both bargaining tables.

Demands Army
Be Pulled Out
MOSCOW (in Nikita
:Khrushchev yesterday warned
President Eisenhower to
withdraw U.S. forces from
Formosa immediately or risk
their forceful expulsion by
Communist China. •
If the United States does not
pull out its forces now, the SO
viet Premier said, then "no oth
er way will be left to People's
China except expulsion of armed
forces hostile to it from its own
territory."
First reaction from some West
ern diplomats was that they did
not consider Khrushchev's letter
an ultimatum, but rather a reply
strong enough to match a letter
Eisenhower sent Khrushchev
Sept. 12.
At Newport, R. 1., where he is
vacationing, there was no im
mediate comment from Eisenhow
er on the Khrushchev note.
In his letter Eisenhower called
on the Soviet Union to urge Red
China tp renounce use of force in
Formosa Strait and embark on
peaceful negotiations.
A Tass Agency summary of
Khrushchev's reply said th e
Kremlin leader again warned that
an attack on Red China would be
considered an attack on the So
viet Union.
"We stand fully by the side of
the Chinese People's Republic
government and the Chinese peo
ple," Khrushchev said. "We have
always supported their policy and
shall continue to do so in the
future."
The Premier declared that "a
nuclear blackmail against Peo
ple's China would intimidate nei
ther us—the U.S.S.R.—nor the
People's Republic of China."
He said China would never
agree with "the severance of its
very own territory" nor with the
existence of foreign armed forces
concentrated in that area. He de
manded that "interference in the
internal affairs of China must be
brnught to an end once and for
'all."
continue to exert, every possible
effort to reach .agreement v,ith
both corporations without resort
to strike action."
Now that it has won a new
three-year contract with Ford, the
UAW is expected to apply pres
sure quickly on the other mem
bers of the industry's Big Three.
Ford was struck when long
'stalemated negotiations passed a
10 a.m. strike deadline Wednes
day. The impasse was broken by
the new pact six hours later. Ford
estimated workers got an average
9 to 10-cent hourly increase im
mediately retroactive to last July
1.
The strike that mushroomed
through Ford's vast ; coast-to
coast empire sPII plagued the
company in spots Friday.
