To Decide Eastern Title— Gymnasts Host Cadets Today The Eastern Collegiate Gymnastics title goes on the line at 2 p.m. today in Recreation Hall as a powerful Penn State squad faces the defending Eastern Champions, Army. Although Tom Maloney’s Cadet specialists have suffered 12 graduation losses and wil Gymnastics Is Reviewed For Meet Gym nasties, an international sport dating back to Grecian and Roman days, has maintained its “life” because it can be appre ciated without much technical knowledge. Three competitors from each team are allowed in each event. Each performer is' scored on a 100 point basis—generally half for difficulty and half for form. Team points in each event are awarded on a 6-4-3-2-1 basis. TUMBLING is scored on dif ficulty, form and continuity of routine. Dave Dulaney relies on speed and Graeme Cowan's work emphasizes height and form. Difficult moves are a' double twisting sommersault (“sommy’T and a back-front sommersault.

I Lion Olympian Armando Vega, considers the Cadets his jinx team. Two years ago Vega was on another Penn State power that eked out a three point win over a similar “inexperienced” Army team in Rec Hall. Vega had a bad day in that meet and is out for personal revenge against his '“jinx” opponents. The Lions went on to win the Eastern and National crown that year, but in '5B they lost the Eastern championship at West Point by five points when Vega dropped out of school. Incidentally, Army and Penn State have dominated the EIGL title the past twelve years. Army has won it five times and the Lions six. Maloney told this writer yester day that his strongest event is the side horse. Veteran horseman Jim Hill is one of the best horsemen in the East and will face the Lion's best bet on the horse, Lee Cun ningham, The Lion ace beat Hill in both the dual meet and Eastern championships last year, but has not competed for this year in collegiate compe tition.

The University Senate has suggested that the proposed five-year curriculum in liberal aits and engineering be fully integrated into a joint program rather than two distinct courses of three and two years. . The Senate Committee on Courses of Study headed by Dr. Phillip A. Shelley, has sent: the curriculum proposal back to' the Colleges of the Liberal Arts and Engineering Architecture. The program of the two "col leges for the five-year curricu lum proposed that the first three years be devoted essentially to liberal arts requirements. When these were completed, the stu dent would take two years of the engineering course in which he wished to major.

Those attending will be shown through the office, and will see members of the staff at work on Thursday's edition. Refreshments will be served. to list the number of times seniors have graduated without paying bills owed to the house. They also questioned whether fraternities would favor and support a volun tary plan to request the with holding of diplomas. Individual fraternities would have the option of requesting that the University withhold the diplomas but have no con trol over the fraternity's fi nances. If the plan is approved by the IFC, it will be sent to a University administration com mittee for final action. Discussion will also be held on the request of Edward Van Tine Co. to become the official IFC photographer. Van Tine proposed that he sell all the fraternity com posites and handle all fraternity pictures and in return the IFC would receive a percentage of the charges.

Instruction, Research Cost $lO.B Million By CATHY FLECK Second of Two Articles The University spends over one-fourth of its total annual income for instruction and departmental research. A total of $10,819,825 was spent in the academic year 1957-58 for salaries and wages, outlays for equipment and minor improvements used in institutional research and organ ized activities to educational de partments. Expenditures by separately or ganized research units such as the Agricultural Experiment Station and contract or project service by individual departments totaled $8,398,699 or 19.9 per cent of the income All these investigations were specifically organized and fi nanced from general funds or out side sources.

(/P)—Pres ident Eisenhower promised yes terday to consider visiting the So viet Union if the Soviet leaders mend their way to an extent that world peace would be advanced. A White House statement which boils down to that—in comment on Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush- Ichev’s informal invitation to Ei senhower — said also that the President has no plans to go to the Soviet Union. The clear implication was that Kremlin threats and de mands in the East-Wesi cold war rule out an Eisenhower visit at this time. The statement, issued at Eisen hower's vacation headciuarters by press secretary James C. Hagerty, Questioned the sincerity of the Khrushchev invitation in noting the President has received no for mal bid ‘'The President has no present nlans to make such a visit—in fact, he hasn’t received any inv : - ! lotion except through the reports of an off-hand invitation extended in a political speech.
