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.
The back-front comes after a ser

at the end, the performer reverses
his direction and momentum to
do a difficult front ’sommy. Good
score; 235. Championship - 260.

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

has won it five times and the
Lions six.
Maloney told this writer yester

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.
At the end of the five years,
the student would receive both
bachelor of arts and bachelor of
science degrees. !

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

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

partments.
Expenditures by separately or

Agricultural Experiment Station
and contract or project service by
individual departments totaled
$8,398,699 or 19.9 per cent of the

All these investigations were

Eisenhower
To Consider
Soviet Trip
THOMASVILLE, Ga. (/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
