Up New Tribunals The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors voted last night to set up a judicial committee to work out the details of on-campus tribunals. David Byers, board member, explained to the new members that AIM had been given the re sponsibility of setting of student tribunals under the reorganized student -government. Byers said the tribunals on campus' will be much more. com plicated than those .downtown which would be taken care of by the Town Independent Men and the Interfraternity Council and would definitely require a com mittee. He also recommended that ex penditures be made to publicize the systern-:-once it was estab lished. Both parts of his recom mendation were passed unani mously. The board also voted to allow office printing of their student handbook and to distribute the handbooks to incoming freshmen once they are on campus. A social report submitted by Douglas polls k, ,who was not present, said his committee only consisted of one member, himself, and that out of the six people who volunteered 'to serve on the committee he could only ,reach four, two of which just pledged fraternities. His report, read by Joseph Fri day, contained plans for a spring dance and the AIM-Leonides banquet. There was some queS tion on the acceptance of the dance plan because Pollak had made part of the arrangements without consulting the board about whether e could spend the necessary $l.O to sponsor it.

The fourth, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Mur 7 vine, couldn't make it. He was tied up in a debate in the French Parliament. Later the ministers had a half-hour talk with Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian secretary gen eral of the North Atlantic Trea ty Organization. Speak said this meeting was arranged to fill in the NATO Alliance on decisions taken at the four power conference. The conference wound up shortly after noon, though it had been expected to run through Friday and perhaps Saturday. The ministers announced they had agreed on all parts of a sweeping package plan, includ ing a reiteration of Western rights in Berlin, for presentation to the Soviet Union at the East-West foreign ministers conference in Geneva. Details of the package plan were shrouded-in secrecy that a U,S. spokesman said would be maintained until the open ing of the Geneva conference May 11. Other Allied sources said the agreement was reached swiftly because the British revised con siderably their pet plan to set up "a zone of reduced tensions" in central Europe. nie air of sweetness and light, however, does not necessarily mean that all is well. Few if any Western diplomats expect the Soviets to accept the Allied package. So the big question is: To what position does the West fall back if and when the Soviets turn thumbs down? The official answer is that there isn't any fallback position. • "We are not going to Geneva with the idea of falling back," the American spokesman said. "Our discussion was limited to the posi tion with which we will go to Geneva." Stannard Given Grant To Attend Conference Dr. Jerry Stannard, instructor in philosophy, has been awarded a $5OO grant-in-aid to attend the Third East-West Philosophers' Conference. The conference, which meets every 10 years, will be held at the University of Hawaii from June 22 to Aug. 2. Wiles• into Phi Kappa Theta. The national fraternities OH eially merged Wednesday.

A banquet was also scheduled for Sunday, but this was cancelled because the fraternity, was not 1 certain whether the merger would be approved by then. Ronald Filippelli, who will be president of the fraternity in the fall, said that the purpose of the merger by the nationals was to provide one strong national Cath olic fraternity.

Conservatives realise, he said, that resources and income are not unlimited. The modern lib- eral on the other hand never runs out of ideas for government spending. "If you want to be popular in government you must support big spending, but if you want to be right you must say 'no'," Brid ges said. The modern conservative, Brid ges continued, also • believes in the principles of federation and the preservation of the union. He disagrees with all those who favor decentralization but believes that senaration of powers is important. "There is no magic in federal government"- Bridges said, "and the best regulation is self-reg ulation." Outlining some other fallacies of modern liberal thinking, he said that liberals f a vor strong, centralized government and in sistence on intellectual conform ity. Liberal, he said, "pose as the great benefactors of mankind and choose powerful central govern ment to dispense good feeling." Now more than ever, he said, people must know about the issues before the federal govern ment.

Collegian Policy See Page 4 Expansion Hopes Dim President Eric A. Walker yesterday made a final plea for an increase in the budget appropriation for the next two years. He appeared before the House Appropriation Committee in Harrisburg for an hour and a half. He told the committee the Uni versity must have $44 million for the next two years or "expansion will be completely eliminated." Walker originally asked for that amount, but saw the figure trimmed to $34.2 million in Gov. David L. Lawrence's budget message. Duriiig the last bien nium the University received $29.7 million. He again stressed the need for more money for faculty salaries and said he was asking $8 million "to close the gap between where we are now and where the sal aries ought to be." According to Walker the first thing to be dropped if the appro priation is not raised would he plans for added research. Then plans to admit additional 'tudents would be discarded. Walker told the Senate Bud get Committee too that the original budget request had been made to allow the Univer sity to continue its expansion program, admit 5000 new stu dents and raise faculty salaries. Earlier this month the Presi dent told the Senate committee that the University was losing good instructors to other colleges paving higher salaries. Walker told the House commit tee yesterday that since World War II the University has taken on "a pretty heavy load" of stu dents. He said the faculty was told this would only be a tem porary thing. "But we've never gone hack to normalcy," he added. - - He then told the committee that much of the skyrocketing construction activity is done at little cost to the state. Walker explained that all dormitories bailt are financed by bond is- sues, paid off by student rents. The President then predicted hat in 40 years .the dormitory Plant will be valued at $7O mil lion. Walker was given a private 90- minute hearing. Representatives of the three other state-aided in stitutions—the Uni, v e r sities of Pittsburgh, Temple and Pennsyl vania—testified together. Rain to Dampen Big Weekend Spring Weekend partygoers may have clothes and spirits dampened by intermittent rains caused by a series of weak storm systems. The rains will be expected in the State College area for the next two or three days. Since no vigorous storm sys tems have developed, the periods of rain will be difficult to pin point. Indications are that the rain will be spotty and light. Cloudy skies and intermittent rain are expected today with a high temperature of 65 degrees. Slightly cooler weather should move into the state tonight and some breaks in the cloudiness are likely. The low will be 46 degrees. Tomorrow's forecast is for warm and humid weather with occasion al rain and a high temperature of 73 degrees. FWE CENTS
