Today's Fo = cast: dr Cloudy r o (g, o u tat Cold VOL. 59. No. 107 Dipl Has Talks British May B WASHINGTON diplomats agreed President Eisenh• a big step toward unity in the app showdown with t (/1 3 ) Western yesterday that , er has taken chieving Allied oaching Berlin !e Soviet Union. They said his speech Monday night, endorsing a summertime summit conference if develop ments justify it, will ease the way for this week's talks with British Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan. In fact, these diplomats said, it has virtually assured the suc cess of Macmillan's mission. The Prime Minister, with Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd. arrives in Washington tomorrow in what is generally regarded as an effort to achieve solidarity in the Western camp. Eisenhower's radio-TV address to the nation apparently was a hit at home and abroad, drawing only a weak kind of sour note from the Kremlin. The President's expressed will ingness to attend a heads of gov ernment meeting with the Soviets was expected to be translated into a formal Big Three response to a Soviet note received last March 2. The response is being worked out among Allied diplomats in Paris. It is expected to be sent to Mos cow in a matter of days. In general, the message re portedly will tell the Soviets the Allies are ready for a sum mit meeting this summer if a foreign ministers conference on Germany, proposed for mid- May, justifies it. The White House said favorable telegrams are pouring in from around the country as an after math of Eisenhower's talk. The British and West German press almost unanimouqly hailed Eisen hower's acceptance of summit talks this summer. Congressional comment was generally friendly, although some Democrats voiced reservations on certain points. Chairman J. William Fulbright (a-Ark.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said he still felt it was bad psychology to re duce the Army, Navy and Marines when the country is facing nego tiations on situations like the crisis in Berlin. Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, chairman of the Sen ate Republican Policy Committee, voiced complete approval of Ei senhower's stand that the United States will not retreat one inch from exercising its rights in West Berlin or abandon the people there to possible Communist take over. Test Drillings Begun At Ed Building Site Test drillings for a special Education Building have been started, according to Walter Wiegand, director of Department of Physical Plant. The new building, which will be built along Park Avenue next to Beaver Field, will be a General State Authority project, Wiegand said. Four other education buildings are scheduled for construction to begin in the current expansion period which will end in July 1960. They are ;to be located where the presen football and baseball practice fields are at Beaver Field.

But trial and error was the way the kitchen staff learned, too, according to Jim Yerkes, supervisor. Monday night they made 25 pies and gave them away to customers—who were only too happy to eat them for the sake of the Hetzel Union Building. Their criticism was one of the guides Yerkes used to determine the best way to prepare the pies., The pizza is made with prepared 9-inch shells, he explained, which come frozen. "We use a sauce made from tomatoes and basil leaf, a combination of shredded mozzarella, parmesan and romano cheese, oregano, whole thyme and red pepper," he said. Then comes that little bit extra slices cut from a long sausage like pepperoni, mushrooms or an chovies to top it off.

Why, loyal keystone sports fans ask, do schoolboy stars foresake the many athletic-minded educa tional factors in their home state? One reason is obviously the I lure of more lucrative titian dal aid—legal or illegal. But another reason—and just as important—is the high entrance I and eligibility requirements of state schools. At Penn State, for instance, Panhel Plan Wins In Housing Dispute Sororities won their fight to keep their suites intact yesterday when Robert G. Bernreuter, assistant to the presi dent in charge of student affairs, accepted a sorority housing plan prepared and submitted by Phyllis Muskat, president of Panhellenic Council. Miss Muskat's plan will take the place of a plan originally presented to sororities by the De partment or Housing last Tuesday which provided for cutting suites' from 40 to 25 spaces and dispers-, ing the overflow members to var ious buildings on the campus. The accepted plan now pro vides for sororities to receive as many spaces as they can fill each year, Miss Muskat told Panhel lenic Council members last night. In accepting the plan, Bernreu ter told Miss Muskat that lists of the spaces requested by each so rority must be on his desk by 10 a.m. today if the plan is to go into effect. Miss Muskat then asked each sorority to submit to her a list of spaces they will need for the fall semester, a separate list of stu dents who may be transferring, student teaching or living in the Home Management Houses and a list of the rooms in their respec tive dormitories which they wish to occupy. She set 11 p.m. of last night as the deadline for these lists. She said she would contact rep resentatives in the College of Education and the College of Home Economics some time today to see if student teaching , and Home Management House assign ments could be released sooner. "I do not know if this can be worked out," she said, -"so as these assignments come out, these people will be given definite places on sorority space lists." She told council members they must work for the welfare of their groups as a whole and work out individual problems within their own suite structures. She stressed that in planning the layout and placement of so rority rooms within individual buildings each sorority must re ceive the approval of their rest ' ence hall hostess and Leonides irepreeentative as provided for in i her plan: Miss Muskat's plan as original ly presented to Bernreuter called for each sorority to receive as many spaces as they needed each year as long as the number did not exceed 40. In accepting the plan, however, Bernreuter re moved this stipulation and soror ities can now have as many spaces, as they can fill in the fall term. Other points in the new plan provide for an agreement to be signed between each sorority and the Department of Housing also land give housing the right to fill any vacancies occurring during the year which sororities them selves cannot fill. many of the athletes are refused! admission because they cannot; meet the normal entrance require ments. That is they must either be in the upper two-fifths of their high school graduation class or score high in the college board examinations or pass a Univer sity-given entrance test. "We lose a lot of kids this way," Athletic Director Ernest B. Mc- Coy said in a recent interview. "But we'd rather lose them be fore they get here than after." University President Eric A. Walker echoed McCoy's senti ments. "I'd rather lose a boy before he gets in here rather than in his freshman and sopho more years," Walker opinioned. "I also feel that no boy, ath lete or otherwise, should get fi nancial aid unless he meets the academic requirement that lead By 80881 LEVINE 8 Councils Will Hold Elections Seven student councils will hold elections for upperclass members today and tomorrow and one coun cil tomorrow and Friday.

Seniors May Not Take Finals After May 28 Students who expect to receive their degrees at the close of the spring semester and who have an exam scheduled later than 7 p.m., May 28, must file a conflict card since grades of students who ex pect to graduate June 6 must be in the office of the registrar by 9 a.m., May 29. to earning a degree," Walker added. "This is the loophole at many universities; they don't watch the progress of an athlete. But here at Penn State, the boy must be a bonafide student work ing towards a degree." Both Walker and McCoy ex plained that an athlete will have his aid taken away if for any rea son he is placed on academic or disciplinary probation. Under sen ate regulations, a student is put on pro when his semester average falls below 1.7. An athletic grant-in-aid. Wal ker and McCoy related, will also be removed if an athlete is not making normal progress towards a degree. This "normal progress" means that a student must have accumulated an All- University average of 1.4 at the (Continued from page one) A Step Backwards See Page 4 FIVE CENTS
