For Frosh, Sophomore Offices
University party candidates yesterday cam
paigned in Atherton, Nittany and Irvin halls and
visited four or five fraternities last night.
According to clique chairman Howard Byers,
one party plank, rather than advocate student
government reorganization, will support the Cab
inet committee on reorganization.
Byers said he would like to see freshman and
Independents use present facilities, such as Waring
Hall, for recreation.
Byers said the faculty and administration
supports the plank on offering free legal advice
to students. Advice may be given enther by faculty
members or State College lawyers, he said.
The growing student body will necessitate

Reds Want to Shove
West Out. of Berlin
MOSCOW (M—Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev yesterday demanded an end to

Police Pool Efforts
Against Crime Wave
Local, state and federal police are pooling their efforts
to move in on an apparent crime wave in State College.
Nine completed and attempted burglaries in the borough
since Thursday, including an attempt on the People's Na
tional Bank, have prompted the drive by State College police,
Rockview State Police and A. F.
Helleberg, local agent of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation.
Helleberg was called into the
investigation wave when it was
discovered that the bank was
robbed Friday night.
Victims of the burglaries
were The Music Room, Mets
gers, Hartman Electric, Bill
McMullen's Floral Shop and
Alvo Electronics. Also it is be
lieved that burglaries were at
tempted at Bill's Barber Shop,
Gus's Restaurant and Christy's
Restaurant.
"No concrete clues" have been
found, according to police. Investi
gation was continued yesterday
by the three law enforcement
agencies.
This week's robbery spree came
two weeks after a series of bur
glaries at fraternity houses over
the first big weekend, of the fall
semester. Items missing ranged
from jewelry to coats and money.
Total value of the items ranged
from $24 to $350.
Loot in this series of robberies
has been limited to mostly mer
chandise. Although no complete
tabulation of the loot has been
compiled, the police report that
the list will be well up into
hunreds of dollars.
The main means of entry was
by breaking window glasses in
doors, by taking the doors off the
hinges or by breaking the bolts
from them.
The investigative agencies list
ed a "definite possibility" of a
connection between all of the re
cent burglaries.

rejected Soviet Premier Nikita

Khrushchev declared the West

that legal basis on which their
stay in Berline rested" and on
which rights of communications
between West Germany and West
Berlin depend.
Weit Berlin is an occupied
enclave 110 miles deep in Com

everything they enjoy the right of

wish to recognize."

every reason "to free ourselves
