tional service groups, solicited on
behalf of the Sharp fund. 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.

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

transferring to Premier Otto
Grotewohl's Bed regime the

But the pressure is on. Refus

and France to yield to East

a blockade of their West Ber

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.

unanimously opposed by Engi

The council opposed the pro

They felt it was unfair for
the entire student body to fi

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.
The council favors HUB expan
