circled around a ong a score of
topics, domestic and internation

much as on events.
From the big power foreign
ministers' conference opening
next week in Geneva, Eisen

settling East-West differences. If
anything does develop that en
larges the hope for decreasing
world tensions, he said, then a
summit meeting would become a
foregone conclusion.

Donovan stressed again that
the idea for the agency is a
good one, but there are some
details to be worked out.
He said that a driver's license,i
meal ticket, or draft card, as well
'as the student's matriculation
card, should be presented for
identification.
Donovan said that he was not
worried so much about students
passing bad checks or overdraw-,
' ing their bank accounts. The big
thing to be concerned about, he
warned, is the person who travels
about the country looking for a
"soft" place to pass a bad check.
Donovan also suggested that
the limit for personal checks
should be $25 instead of $35.
On weekends, he said, the SC. '

which are over $25.

•He said the limit on personal
checks would be set at $25 in

The requirement for identifica

Extension
Will Ease
Traffic congestion in the eastern part of State College
will be eased when an extension of S. Garner St. is con
structed between College and Beaver Ayes.
State College Borough Council formally approved con
struction of the street Monday night and ordered proceedings
started to acquire property needed in the construction area.
At present, Garner St. ends at
Beaver Ave., leaving only Brown
Alley to carry traffic north to
College Ave. There is no provi
sion for south bound traffic.
In approving plans for the new
street, Council indicated it will
have to seize by eminent domain
part of the Ralph Weaver pz-ip
erty on W. Beaver Ave.
Notice of a date and time for
protests on this action have been
posted. Final action on the ordi
nance cannot come until 28 days
have passed.
Council approved an agreement
with Sidney Friedman, who owns
property in the area where the I
street will be built.
Friedman will move the Sara]
Kauffman house and give to the
Borough his lease rights to the
property. He will also give tri

Curriculum
Choice May
Be Dropped
By NEAL FRIEDMAN
Freshmen entering the Uni
versity within the next few
years may no longer enroll in
a specific curriculum, but in
stead enter one of several com
mon freshman year programs
sugested by the Senate Com
mittee on Educational Policy.
The University Senate will hear
a committee recommendation to
morrow suggesting that the pres
ent system be abandoned in favor
of a common freshman year pro
gram.
Under the proposed plan, ad
mission to the University would
not necessarily be dependent up
on the student's curriculum choice,
as is sometimes the case, accoid
ing to the committee.
The committee's ultimate goal
is one technical and one non•
technical program. but they
ha've suggested five programs
for the present. They are:
*Physical science arid mathe
matics
•Geological sciences
• Social sciences
• Humanities ,
* Fine Arts
Also included in the plan is
the establishment of an adminis
trative unit having no faculty or
instructional functions. It would
simply act as the assignment cen
ter and coordinator of the pro
grams, utilizing advisers from all
colleges.
No freshmen, either here or at
the Commonwealth Campuses,
would be assigned to any specific
curriculum or college during his
freshman year, but would remain
under general University three
tion.
A program similar to this -is
already in effect in the College
of Engineering and Architecture.

The Borough will intersect

The new street will be 46 feet
wide, 32 feet of it paved, and will
include sidewalks.
The action to create the new
street was recommended two
years' ago by the Planning Com
mission as a means of easing the
traffic bottlenecks in State Col
lege.
