to Seek
Approval
Marcus Katzen, freshman in
business administration fr o m
Sykesville, took the bill before
the Assembly for the first time
two weeks ago, At that time the
Assembly referred the plan back
to the committee for further study.
Katzen was to have present
ed the plan at last week's As
sembly meeting, but decided to
delay it until tonight to work
further on the plan.
An open meeting was held last
Sunday by the board, so that stu
dents could ask questions on the
proposed SCCA.
The revised plan limits the
number of personnel to 10—four
on the Board of Control and six
on the staff.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 21. 1959
Hot Weather
To Continue
For 3 Days
The heat wave should continue
for at least three more days.
A huge mass of tropical air
will hold Pennsylvania in its grip
for several days. This will insure
a continuation of the hot and hu
mid days and warm, moist nights.
The heat wgve, one of the worst
ever observed so early in the
season, could possibly become the
most severe ever recorded during
the month of May.
Temperatures soared to an of
ficial reading of 89 degrees yes
terday afternoon. Some thermo
meters in the State College area
reached an unofficial 91 degrees.
This official reading of 89 de
grees is just four degrees below
the all-time high temperature
for May, which was set back in
1895.
Today should be hot and humid
with a chance of afternoon show
ers or thunderstorms. If these
showers occur, they will be of
short duration. The high temp
erature will be ,90 degrees,
The warm temperatures and
excessive humidity will make for
uncomfortable sleeping weather
tonight. Temperatures will prob
ably remain above 68 degrees all
night.
Partly cloudy skies, hot and
humid weather will continue to
morrow, but the possibility of
showers and thunderstorms bring
ing temporary relief is somewhat
greater.

Ike Warns Reds
On Berlin Deadline
WASHINGTON (IP)—President Eisenhower is reported
determined to spurn the idea of a summit conference if the
Soviet Union fixes a new deadline for turning East Berlin
over to the East German Reds.
He also is pictured as ready to refuse to meet with Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev if the
Kremlin threatens in advance
any kind of one-sided action in
East Germany.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter has made this atti
tude clear to Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko dur
ing private talks outside the Big
Four foreign ministers confer
ence room at Geneva.
Top officials said Wednesday
Herter had Eisenhower's full en
dorsement.
Herter is understood to have!
cabled a full report of his meet
ing with Gromyko to the White
House as part of his daily sum
maries on developments.
Eisenhower's backing of Her
fer's notice to Gromyko was
made known because Gromy
ko's comments were inter
preted as threatening a possible
new deadline for handing over
to the German Reds control of
access routes to the divided
city of Berlin.
The May 27 deadline originally
set by Khrushchev expires in one
'week with no sign the Soviets in
tend to carry out their threats to
;end four-power control on that
!date.
Authorities familiar with Eisen
hower's attitude stressed the Pres
ident is sticking to his condition
that there must be genuine pro
gress at the foreign ministers
level in order to make a summit
conference worthwhile.
They said mere absence of So
viet threats will not be enough
to persuade him to meet With
Khrushchev.
Most administration authorities
expect the Soviets belatedly to of
fer enough concessions to make a
summit meeting likely in late
summer.
French President Charles de
Gaulle's balking at San Francisco
as a summit site has complicated
the backstage maneuvering.
But De Gaulle's views, sent of
ficially to the State Department,
do not rule out the possibility of
an American site.
