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."

Army Coup Topples
Pro-West Sudanese
CAIRO, Egypt (IP}—Sudan's pro-Western government fell yesterday under a coup by
army officers of varying political beliefs. The sprawling East African nation seemed quiet.
The coup, apparently bloodless, may have been set off over internal matters rather than
foreign affairs.

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." •

shrine enabled workmen to re

been unable to clean the library

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;

sect and the People's Democratic
party, which is moderately pro-
Egyptian but has cooperated with
pro-Western elements.

Western Umma party and report
ed to be a close friend of the
ousted Premier.
Beshir is described as a na

tians consider him a good ele

"The makeup means the situa
tion will be no better and no
worse for us than before," an
Egyptian official said.

Lion's Den
To Retain
Later Hours
The extended hours in th e
Lion's Den drew a larger crowd
than usual this past weekend, ac
cording to Louis A. 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.

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.
