Voting in the SCA elections
will be held only in the HUB
recreation room today and to
morrow. The Elections Corn
mittee decided last night to
discontinue decentralized vot
ing as was held in yesterday's
balloting.

Students will have two more
days to vote the new Student
Government Association up or
down and to elect SGA offi
cers, junior and senior class
presidents an d sophomore,
junior and senior assembly
members.
Voting will continue from 9 a.rn
to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow in
the Hetzel Union, Sparks, Boucke,
Home Economics, Forestry and
Sackett buildings.
Arthur Miltenberger, Univer
sity party candidate for SGA
president, and Leonard Julius,
Campus party candidate for that
office, at an election rally last
night urged students to vote.
Julius said the SGA next year
would have to be a model for
student governments in future
years. He said students could help
gain good government by voting
in these elections and supporting
student government.
Miltenberger urged students to
vote "yes" on reorganization.
Jesse Arnelle, 1554-55 All-
University president, said one
of the causes of apathy was the
reluctance of students to be
come familiar with student gov
ernment. The responsibility for
this reluctance, he said, possibly
lies with the incumbent student
leaders.
Arnelle said student leaders like
to feel they are representing the
whole student body, but only 20
per cent of the student body would
probably vote.

Elections Chairman Lynn Ward,

University Regarded
Highly, Study Shows
Image studies have shown that there is an amazing
reservoir of good will in the state toward the University,
James H. Coo*, director of public information, said Mon
day to the faculty luncheon club.
Coogan spoke on "Revolutions in Communication."
He said these, image studies
have indicated, too, that the Uni
versity appears to be the college
best thought of in the whole state.
Campus programs presented
over television have drawn more
than the expected number of re
plies from audiences. Even though
only six complimentary letters
were received in approval of one
show, Coogan said this is phe
nomenal when compared to let
ters received by such programs
as "Gunsmoke" which are nation
wide and receive about 45 favor
able letters a week.
Coogan attributed the small
number of letters TV programs
receive in general to the fact
that most people write only to
gripe, never to compliment a
show.
Coogan also spoke about major

changes that have affected the
methods of mass media commu
nication. He said that newspapers
still do the major job in report
ing news since they have the
most space.
Some recent improvements in
newspapers include the use of
color: the Associated Press news
releases by tape, which increas
es the volume of type that can
be printed daily, and the Fair•
child Scan•o•graver, which
makes possible the use of mote
pictures by smaller papers.
The major change in television
in the past few years has been
the use of video tape, Coogan
said. This tape can be edited and
erased like ordinary recording
tape and provides a much greater
reservoir of programs which can
be televised, he said.

Atomic War
By JIM STROTHMAN
954 Nobel Prize for Chemistry,
Pauling has been a leader in the
fight for world-wide disarma
ment and a nuclear testing ban
for the last 10 years.
In his book, he reminds us of
the hideous story of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki and the steady de
velopment of atomic weapons
since then.
Now, he says, we have the
H-bomb which is 1000 times
more powerful. Each of these
bombs has an explosive energy
five times greater than all the
bombs used in World War 11.
The initial attack in such a war
would kill 83 million Ameri
cans and seriously injure 25
million, according to Pauling,
and our retaliation would in
turn kill them.
Early in 1958 he placed a peti
tion urging that an "International
Agreement to Stop the Testing of
Nuclear Bombs Should Be Made

Herter Confirmed
By Senate, 93.0
WASHINGTON (A')—The Senate brushed aside a no-hurry
rule yesterday and whisked through by a 93-0 vote its confir
mation of Christian A. Herter as secretary of state.
This cleared the way for the suave, scholarly, 64-year-old
Herter to take over with full authority from cancer-stricken
John Foster Dulles,
The reason for the rush is that!
Herter leaves Monday for Paris
to take part in a free world for-'
eign ministers' conference in prep-I
aration for East-West talks on the
touch-and-go German situation. j
President Eisenhower formally
nominated Herter, who has been
Dulles' No. 2 man, for the top
State Department spot only Mon
day.
Under Senate rules such a j
nomination can't be confirmed ;
in less than six days. The Sen. ;
ate waived this rule in view of
Herter's imminent responsibili
ties,
Confirmation came only a few
hours after Herter won an expect
ed unanimous vote of approval
from the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
The only serious quizzing he got
came from Sen. Wayne Morse (D-
Ore), who posed a series of, "if"
questions centering un: Would this
country resort to nuclear warfare
if the Soviets started shooting
down American planes on the cor
ridor to Berlin?
"Not necessarily," was Herter's
prompt response.
Morse then asked: "Is it your
position we would then be free
and should proceed to all-out
war with Russia, encompassing
the dropping of nuclear and
hydrogen bombs?
"No, sir, I don't believe in the
be justified," Herter answered
initial stages such a course would
But he added quickly: "If it be
came clear Russia was resorting
to all-out war. I think we would
have to consider a change in our
position."
Auto Accident Causes

"No Stopping" signs have re
placed the "No Parking" signs
along Shortlidge Road because of
the mishap Sunday night in which

injured while directing traffic,

director of security.
Campus patrolman Thomas
Kirshner was seriously injured
when he was struck by a car
driven by Robert Vierck Jr. who
was heading north on Shortlidge
