All-Univ -rsity Cabinet co That resolutio , introduced by the Liberal Arts Student Council, was finally v i ted down by Cab inet after hea ed controversy. The Chem- ' hys Council mem bers are in f or of doing away with compuls a ROTC. Although substitute Civil Defense cour a was discussed, the council hought voluntary ROTC the be ter idea. A volun tary program w ould save mon ey and at ih Itsame time the course could be made better because all those taking it would be truly interested, more students would possibly be can didates for advanced ROTC. the council members agreed. The ROTC program was de scribed by one council member as a "farce" and just another course "to get through." One council member said his classes in ROTC were the "dullest class es" he had ever attended. The Navy ROTC program was cited by a council member as superior to the compulsory pro gram. It is a voluntary course which offers three credits. The Navy also offers a ROTC scholar ship. Walton Davis, council secre tary-treasurer, said the Univer sity did not have to have a com pulsory ROTC program as the land-grant act says only that provision be made for military training. Although All-University Cab inet voted against last year's pro posal, the case against compul sory ROTC can be brought up again if the students petition for a referendum, the council felt. If the majority of students vote for the referendum, Cabinet will again have to consider compul sory ROTC. • / Town Independent Men To Hold Autumn Dance Town Independent Men will sponsor an Autumn Leaves Dance Saturday in the Hetzel Union ballroom, The Phi vlu Alpha band will play for dancing from 9 p.m. to midnight.

HIGHTOWER WASHlNGTONM—Amer ican'officials yesterday agreed that Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev's effort to force the Western powers out of Berlin carries grave dangers of an all-out war between the So viet and 'Western blocs. The showdown this effect will produce may be slow in coming, perhaps one to three year s. [Khrushchev announced Monday that the Soviets intend to turn over the administration of East Berlin to the Communist authori ties of East Germany.

According to proposed plans there would be a float parade on Friday night, a carnival on Sat urday, possibly starting in the afternoon, and He Man and Queen of Hearts preliminaries Sunday afternoon. • Monday would be held open as an alternate datelfor the carnival in case of rain Saturday. Finals for the He Man and Queen of Hearts contests are set for Tuesday evening. Awards will be presented and Miss Penn State picture of Christ as a powerful personality stands out. "Christ gave man a personal revelation of himself, and there can be no surd, way of knowing God than by 'personal revelation," he said. Green quoted Christ as saying, "I am the real and living way. No man cometh unto the Father but by Me." Therefore, he said, "Christ must have all of you." Canon Green said Christ left six powerful impacts of his per sonality on all those who knew Him. These impacts are the bases for acceptance of the hypothesis that He was God, Tottrgiatt s Edict on Berlin Soviet-Western War lin wa s taken seriously by American officials. The timing of his declaration may have been determined by in terest in fostering Soviet ties with Communist Poland. Soviet at tempts to settle German issues could be construed in Poland as being designed to pave the way for peaceful settlements and a demilitarized zone along the cold war front of Europe. But the best informed auth orities here said they had no doubt that in the long run Khrushchev will undertake the serious attempt to force the Western powers out of Berlin and build up the prestige of the Soviet-dominated regime there by. making the East Ger man government supreme. The United States, Britain and crowned Wednesday. According to Gerald Carlson, business manager of Spring Week, the_ new schedule was planned to give students more time between events, more time for study and less incentive to cut classes. By having the carnival on a Saturday, he said, students will not have any classes and will be free to spend their time at the carnival site. Even if the carnival begins in the afternoon there will , be fewer classes cut, since many students do not have Saturday morning classes, Carlson said: up — r ,, TTL , , Z2'l, ;721 - 2 - 7 , 7.71M1V"k , 7 , t S ~...,,,, -4- es- ~- t i:', — ;.'ii -,;', ' , i• ;' 2 '' ' - C''': ,2 2,5 .' , er k 7,„, 22' ..'''

The three students—William Verity, Barry Benson and Edgar Boyd Moyer Jr., all freshmen—pleaded guilty to the charge of burglarizing the Alvo Electric Co. Verity and Benson pleaded guilty to three thefts in Waring Hall and one in Recreation Building. France have occupied the city jointly with the Soviet Union since the end of World War 11. U.S. and British spokesman turned down Khrushchev's de mand for an end to the occupa tion. The State Department reas serted the U.S. policy_ of fighting if necessary to preserve Western interests in the city which is en tirely surrounded by East German territory. Khrushchev's latest maneu ver had been foreshadowed by East German propaganda at tacks on the Western position in Berlin. In the view of many top author ities here the cold war front in Germany has always been the most dangerous area of East-West conflict because of the stakes in volved. The Liberal -Arts Student Council last night cut loose on Spring Week, initiating action to- attempt to trim it down or cut it out altogether. The attack on the traditional week-long festival was launched after the council heard the sched ule suggested for the 1959 Spring Week. Council President Louis Phil lips will take to All-University Cabinet tomorrow night a mo tion asking for an evaluation of the annual event. "No one ever seems to question Spring Week," a council member complained. "We just have it every year," (Continued on page two) •-• They were charged with: *Taking $9B from the Waring Hall, snack bar. *Taking $5O in student and University money from the War ing Hall Information Desk. *Taking about $5O from two cigarette vending machines. The thefts admitted to in the Alvo burglary by the trio were enough to stock any audiophile's living room. Included in the information which will accompany the trio to court are several pieces of quality hi-fidelity equipment turntables, speakers, an amplifier and other necessary complements. The , students were appre hended by State College and state police in Hamilton 45, the room shared by Verity and Moyer, and the cache of goods taken as evidence. Benson lives in Thompson 343.

The court doesn't convene for at least a week, so the three students will have to remain in jail until the court fudge grants or fails to grant bail. The arrest was made possible, State College officer Donald E. Benner said, by a tip-off to the students' recent spending habits, late hours and clothing.
