In 1954, Warm Night Starts Short Disturbance A sizeable number of West Halls students took adyantage of last night's warm, sultry weather to stroll about their quadrangle in the late evening—to the accom paniment of fireworks, flashbulbS, a public address system and a police force of harried counselors. Th e 'student demonstration started around 10 p.m. and grad ually broke up about 20 minutes later. At its height it was sparked by small congregations of students in the quadrangle trying to or ganize, spurred on by the cries of many others who Iw*ere crowded by the windoWs on all sides et the square urging _the . demonstrators toward the women's dorms. The group never moved from the quadrangle, .and despite a great deal of noise the deinonstra ton seemed to break up easily in the face of the counselors, who spilled out quickly and ordered groups of students back to their rooms. The demonstration, according to bystanders, arranged earlier in the evening by phone calls to the various hall units. The first "call to arms" was scheduled for 7:45, but fizzled quickly. - But the later meeting was noisier, and by 1Q there were large numbers of students milling In the quadrangle. The yelling from the windows increased sharply when a few fire crackers went off, and the crowds of students who appeared at the doors of the dorm units seemed about to touch off a genuine "panty raid." But nriost of the students didn't go beyond the doors,. and the appearance of counselors dispersed the crowd in a short time.

For many years, he has do nated his spare time to world peace and especially the prevent ing of nuclear war. He has worked with such dis tinguished scientists as Albert Einstein and Harold Urey in an effort to abolish the testing of nuclear weapons. Early in 1958 he plac - ed in the hands of the secretary-general of the United Nations a petition signed by nearly 11,000 scientists from 44 countries urging that an international agreement to stop the testing of nuclear bombs be made. He has joined other scien tists in many petitions, confer ences and. appeals toward this end. The Pugwash Conference was one of a number of these. This conferenCe, held in Nova Scotia in 1957. dealt with the necessity and requirements to, end war, the hazards of war and the positife . need for dis armament. In Pauling's recent book, "No More War!" he gives the hideous results a nuclear war would pre sent.

Ludwig Erhard, 62-year-old economics minister and architect of Germany's postwar business recovery, was expected to take over next September the leader ship•laid down by the 83-year-old Adenauer. The choice of a chancellor viii be up to Adenauer's 'ruling Chris tian Democratic party if Adknauer is elected pdesident, and there was little doubt of Adenauer's election. The chancellor is the main ex ecutive in Germany. Under the Bonn constitution he deter mines the pelicy and bears the responsibility for it.' The pres idency is largely ceremonial, haing powers about equivalent fo those of Cueen Elizabeth II in Britain. The decision of Adenauer, crusty and uncompromising leader of West Germany through its entire 10-year history, means he will be giving up active politics. But Adenauer will still be at the helm when crucial East—West meetings take place this spring and summer. In Washington, it was be lieved that Adenauer's less active role might have profound effects on policilee of the West ern powers, facing critical de cisions in their relations with the Soviet Union. British officials greeted the prospective change with satisfac tion though with no public com ment.
