The drive was sponsored by the Stu dent Government Association. The fund was,kicked off last Thursday by a $5OO donation from Scrolls, senior women's hat society, which was not in• cluded in the $2374.53 figure. "The spectators were most gen erous in their donations," All-Uni versity President Jay Feldstein said. If the expected 28,000 fans had attended, -we may have reached our $5OOO goal, he said. Sharp, a former University stu dent, was paralyzed Oct. 10, 1957, when he fell - from a trampoline during a men's physical education class. He suffered a broken neck and was hospitalized for nearly a year. 'Last year students donated over $7OOO to aid Sharp and his family paying the large hospital and re habilitation expenses. The drive was renewed this year when it was learned that Sharp was in need of more money. He was just recently re leased from the New York Uni versity Rehabilitation Center where he was a patient for sev- eral months. Prior to that time he was hos pitalized in Geisinger Memorial Hospital, Danville, and the New York University Hospital. Cabinet has also suggested that an admission fee be charged for the IFC-Panhellenic Greek Week sing finals with the proceeds to be given to Sharp. 5 O'Ciock The-atie To Hold Tryouts Tryouts for the 5 O'Clock Thee- , tre's production of Matthew Rob inson's folk drama, "Under The Blue Ridge;" will be held at, 8:15 tonight in 10 Sparks.

A total of 1238 expectations in a pattern building up since Soviet Premier 'Nikita Khrushchev called Nov. 10 for an end to the four-power occupation. The Soviet informant . said transfer of control of the sup ply lines was the meaning be hind Khrushchev's speech. Khrushchev proposed that the United States, Britain and France, with city garrisons totaling 10,000 troops, get out of West Berlin. He said the Soviet Union would hand over its occupation rights in the old German capital to East Germany. He did not spell out, how ever, whether he would risk a new East. West crisis by also transferring to Premier Otto Grotewohl's Bed regime the supervision of traffic between West Berlin and West Germany, divided by 110 miles of Com rnunist German territory. The Western Big Three and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's Bonn government—do not recog nize Grotewohl's regime and have , refused to have any formal deal ings with it. But the pressure is on. Refus al of the United States, Britain' and France to yield to East German controls might lead to a blockade of their West Ber lin garrisons. If left no choice, experts here believe the three nations would yield to controls while making it clear that this does not constitute recognition of the East German government. They would officially regard East Germans manning the checkpoints as simply agents of the Soviet Union. The Soviet source, however, contended they would have to settle any disputes directly with East Germany. 48 High, 30 Low Predicted Today Today's weather prediction is sunny and cold 'with a 48-de gree high and a 30-degree low.

They felt it was unfair for the entire student body to fi nance a lounge for town men. The town men do not contri bute to the cost of fraternity lounges so why should the frat ernity men help to pay for a TIM lounge, the council said. The council also discussed the fact that if a TIM lounge is ob tained, other groups will desire their own lounges. Why not have a lounge for Leonides or indepen dent town women or freshman women?, a member asked. James McLaughlin, Penn State Engineer representative, suggested that more closed lounges be built in the HUB to benefit all students, which • would include the independent town men. The lounges should be more home-like and comfort able, perhaps including such luxuries as record players.
