STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1959 Negotiations e on Berlin s Ike's Aim N M—President Eisenhower was reported locatinga tough negotiating attitude toward It way to solve the Berlin crisis while pro nity. the White House attitude circulated as Eisenhower prepared for the ar rival today of British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan. They will have a 4-day round of talks aimed at coordinating Western strategy. Top administration officials were cheered by Macmillan's statement in Ottowa about a need "to combine firm princi ples, with readiness to nego tiate." This Macmillan view coincided with Eisenhower's expressed de termination to stand firm in Western Berlin until the Soviets offer major concessions toward the goal of German unity. Despite Macmillan's words, Isome suspicion persisted that the British leader might try to press Eisenhower too hard and too fast, in the administration opinion, along a path of meeting Soviet views. Macmillan was viewed as put ting more emphasis on the value of summit talks with Russia's Premier Nikita Khrushchev than Eisenhower thinks developments warrant. Eisenhower expressed readi ness to attend such a top level parley this summer—provided developments justified a prom ise of success. In advance of Macmillan's ar rival, officials stressed that Eisen -1 hower wanted some advance I signs of Soviet readiness to make I concessions—not a crisis confer ence full of propaganda charges. ) Macmillan, however, was under stood to favor a summit meeting even if foreign ministers failed to ease East-West differences In ad vance. A meeting under such cir cumstances might 'be the only way to avoid a shooting war over Berlin, British informants said. Walker to Address AJC In Philadelphia Today President Eric A.

Athletic Aid Increase 'Not Necessary' By LOU PRATO, Sports Editor Seventh of a Series On Education and Athletics Although an increase in athletic scholarships would be desirable for Penn State's athletic program, such an in crease is not necessary, ac cording to the view shared by University Athletic Director Ernest B. McCoy and Presi dent Eric A. Walker. "I think we have a very heal thy and well-balanced program," McCoy told the Collegian in a re cent interview. "We support 11 varsity sports and there are many schools that don't have half that many." "It would be nice !o have championship teams in every sport, McCoy said, "but that's almost an impossibility today FOR A BETTER PENN STATE —Collegian Photo by Marty &herr EXERCISING THEIR PREROGATIVES, Linda Mannen from Miami Beach, Fla., Betty Segal from Merion, and Sue Harburger from Elkins Park, all sophomores in Elementary Education, inspect the pictures of the candidates for student council elections.

"We hope to increase our I grants-in-aid by 25 for a four year period in the near future," the grey-haired athletic director added," but we don't want to start getting aid for athletes out of proportion to the aid for aca demic scholarships. "The minute you start to in crease over and beyond reason, [ you begin to have overemphasis. Besides, if you start getting aid for athletes out of proportion, you no longer have an educa tional institution, and education is our prim a r y objective—not athletics." Walker coincides with Mc- Coy on the standard of the pre sent athletic setup. "I am quite happy with Penn State's var sity athletic program," Walker said. "/ think our teams always FIVE CENTS make a good showing. We've never had what you call a dis. asterous year since I've been around here— and that's been 14 years now." The University's chief adminis ter said he didn't know whether grants-in-aid would be increased in the future, but added "it de pends on how much we can af ford." "I know there are many peo ple who want to increase aid," Walker continued, "but no one has felt strong enough to request aid. If they did, I'd certainly look into it." Walker indicated; however, that financial aid to athletes would "pick up considerably in the next 10 years." He added that he would also like to see Penn State 'build up a national reputation in all sports but not to the extent (Continued on page six) For Contract Editorial on page 4 By DENNY NIALICK WDFM probably will not get AM facilities, according to Lawrence E. Dennis, vice pres ident for academic affairs. Dennis said yesterday that University officials have rea son to believe that "contractual arrangements suitable to the needs of the instructional pro gram in journalism and commu nications" can be made with Ra dio Station WMAJ. Negotiations are now being made for a possible long term contract with WMAJ, he said. and "some sort of an agree ment should be made in about a month." Such an agreement with WMAJ, Dennis said, probably would in volve having that station help improve facilities on campus and would also include expanded use of the• downtown studios by stu dents. "We would certainly like to be gin this program by September," Dennis added. In making this statement, Den nis disclosed action at the Jan. 24 Board of TruStees meeting at which the 1958 Senior Class gift was accepted "with reservations." The class had voted its $lO,OOO gift to go for AM facilities for• the campus station. However, in accepting the gift, the trustees added the stipula tion that if instructional needs could be met through contract with a private station, "the funds involved are to be al located to the College of the Liberal Arts to further the trainnig of students in the mass communications media." Dennis said this was not an nounced earlier because he had to inform Thomas Hollander, 1958 Senior Class president, of the fic tion. In the letter to Hollander, Den nis said he inquired whether the trustee action came within the general purposes of the gift ae voted by class. In his reply which was re ceived this week, Hollander said he did not feel he should make this decision without consulting class members. However, he added: "I feel that I am speaking for the class in saying that the action taken by the committee (trustees) ... h quite acceptable." The letter continued: "I feel, short of AM facilities for WDFM, the committee's plan to negotiate for suitable arrange ments to fit the needs of the com- (Continued on page five) Traveler Only Wanted Sleep And Taxi Ride By JIM MORAN George S.
