President Eisenh•
a big step toward
unity in the app
showdown with t
(/1 3 ) Western
yesterday that
, er has taken

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. The our units pro
posed for the area will be located
so that they wou • not make it

Athletes Meet Equal Academic Rules
By LOU PRATO, Sports Editor
Sixth of Series
On Education and Athletics
The migration of many
superior Pennsylvania high
school athletes to out-of-state
institutions has been the sub
ject of much debate and dis
cussion over the past 15 years.
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

signed between each sorority and

Athletic Director Ernest B. Mc-

Seniors May Not Take
Finals After May 28

their degrees at the close of the

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
