No. 4 • -Phys Council iscuss Fate OTC Proposal Che To Of By AMY ROSENTHAL istry-Physics Student Council will hold a g tonight to decide whether or not to present OTC proposal to All-University Cabinet. The Che special meeti a voluntary Donald Z: of the meetin pp, president of the council, said the outcome will decide whether he will present a ROTC resolution to Cabinet Thursday. Joseph Synkonis, senior in pre medi c i n e from Philadelphia, brought up the ROTC issue at the regular council meeting last Tuesday. Synkonis then said the issue was "poorly handled" by the student leaders last year. He said he thinks that most of the student body was against and is against compulsory ROTC. "When I heard about the refer endum possibility I decided that a resolution against compulsory ROTC could go through," he said. Synkonis, who was in the Air Force ROTC, said all he learned after the first semester training was propaganda. He also said that the methods taught were "obso lete." 3 Stu To G ents On oday Trial y, Barry Benson Moyer Jr., sus r pus and down will be tried to re County Guilty In the guilty pleas nte today will be Bing, junior in llentown, who is with failure to e of an accident. t on $2OO bail.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18, 1958 "My Did was in ROTC in 19- 36," he said, "and when he was graduated he was given a com mission as second lieutenant in the reserves " after only two years of ROTC. He said that now when a student goes thru two years of ROTC he still en ters the service as a private.

The sprawling East African nation seemed quiet. The coup, apparently bloodless, may have been set off over internal matters rather than foreign affairs. Reports from Khartoum, .rate of army officers in charge. Phantom QUIM Quits Campus After Strike The phantom QUIM struck the campus over the weekend. The QUIM's ghostly hand splat tered black paint over the Nit tany Lion Shrine and scrawled its name on the pillars in front of the library. What is a QUIM? No one here seems to know, but campus offi cials suspect that some Univer sity of Pittsburgh students might. Coincidentally, the QUIM dis played antics similar to those no ticed every year before the Penn State-Pitt football game. Recalling their high school days, some students thought QUIM was Latin or some other vague lan guage. But Frederic Will, associate professor of classical languages, said he is almost 100 per cent sure it is not Latin. "Either they don't know any Latin," Will said, "or they were doing something entirely differ ent." • A protective coating on the- Lion shrine enabled workmen to re move the. paint but they have been unable to clean the library pillars. Green, the All-American quarter: back aspirant. Green had been the life of the Crusaders in their other seven games, spearheading them to a 5-1 record with his pin-point pass ing. He completed only three of 11 passes against the sterling Lion defense' for a mere 33 yards and had two intercepted. However, it (Continued on page six) he capital, indicated a triumvi Gen, - Ibrahmin Abboul, 58- year-old commander in chief, ousted Premier Abdullah Khalil, his World War II comrade in arms in African campaigning against the Axis. There was speculation here that Khalil-who has been under ex treme Arab nationalist pressures emanating from President Nas ser's United Arab Republic—may have approved the coup. There was no report of his whereabouts. Abboud relieved all Cabinet minsters, dissolved the Parlia ment elected only last Feb ruary; canceled the provisional constitution; declared a state of emergency; appointed military governors in all districts; halted the publication of newspapers, and imposed censorship. The nation's two top religious leaders, who wield immense poli tical power, broadcast statements of support, indicating the regime would have strong popular back ing. 'The three leaders of the coup, accordinga to advices reaching Cairo through apparently heavy censorship, are Abboud; Gen. Ahmed Abdel Wahab, deputy commander in chief; and Brig. Hassan Beshir, commander of the Khartoum garrison. Egyptian sources familiar with the neighboring nation up the Nile gave these impressions on their policies; Abboud, a career officer iden-1 tified with the' Khatmia religious sect and the People's Democratic party, which is moderately pro- Egyptian but has cooperated with pro-Western elements. Wahab, linked with the pro- Western Umma party and report ed to be a close friend of the ousted Premier. Beshir is described as a na tionalist, indicating the Egyp tians consider him a good ele ment from their viewpoint. - "The makeup means the situa tion will be no better and no worse for us than before," an Egyptian official said.

Berrena, man ager of Food Service. About 250 persons were pres ent during the later hours on both nights, he said. The Lion's Den will remain open until 12:15 on Friday and Saturday nights until Dec. 19. Snack bar services will last until midnight. If the later hours prove successful, the hours will be ex tended permanently. Berrena attributed the large crowd this weekend to the visi tors for the football game. Many of the students from' Holy Cross had to stay overnight because of inclement weather and many of them were served in the Den, he said. He also said there were more activities going on this weekend and this drew people to the Den. Last weekend there was a sharp drop in attendance. There were only 84 students present during the later hours on Saturday night. Berrena said the later hours had been posted on the doors of the Den so that students would be aware of the extension. He would not comment on the suc cess of the trial because he said he would not be able to tell the extent of student support of the hours until the test period is over. In this way overall figures can be obtained, he said. to Elections Committee for use at the polling places at that time. James Elliott, Campus party clique chairman- ' said in regard to the plank on the general seat ing arrangement at Beaver Field that he has checked, with repre senatiVes of the physical educa tion faculty- who thought that such an arrangement would be possible. Elliott also said that in ques tioning juniors,' approximately 150 thought it to be a good idea_ since it would help the dating situation and promote spirit. Howard Byers, University par ty clique chairman, said that should the party win the election, it will take up the problem of the feasibility of a percentage grading system. FIVE CENTS
