Walker said he would be happy to have the state accept any or all of the Commonwealth Campuses for the community college system. The State House of Representatives has passed bills calling for the start of the state-wide junior colleges. Walker said the House had now' passed two bills with only minor technicalities differing. However, neither bill contains mention of the University proposal. Under the House-passed mea sures. a local school board could found a iwo-year com munity college if it can show the ability to finance the proj ect and a need in the area for such services. Although the University of fered the entire 14-campus sys tem to the state, Walker said, if one school board asked the Uni versity to use its facilities for a junior college plan, it could do so. The President has termed the Commonwealth Campus system, “a sound, logical and relatively inexpensive mechanism for meet ing the educational crisis the state faces.” Rep. Eugene M.

Exposition to Explain Campus Activities By 80881 LEVINE Copy Editor Wanna* be a hatraan? According to representatives of the hat societies on campus, in addition to having a good scholastic average and exhibit ing leadership qualities, one of the main prerequisites needed in aiming toward a hat is active membership in a num ber ot varied activities. Students will have the chance to find out what activities are of fered on campus and how to join them by attending the Activities Exposition being held from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Hetzel Union ballroom. The exposition, under the sponsorship of Associated Stu dent Activities, will be made up of 19 booths.

Khrushchev tossed a quick propaganda jab about the Soviet Union’s moon misile. i President Eisenhower greeted him personally, with a smile and a handclasp. He, too, spoke of the great goal of "a just, universal and enduring peace.” Then the two most powerful figures in the world piled into Eisenhower's open-top auto and rode side by side from Andrews Air Force Base 15 miles into the heart of Washington. They parted briefly, but soon got together again at ihe White House for ihe first of a series of conferences that may have a momentous bearing on the his tory of mankind. Khrushchev’s arrival, delayed an hour by headwinds, was lack ing entirely in major incidents— no tossing of eggs, rocks or in sults. A smattering of boos was heard. A few skull and crosbones flags and black armbands were on display. For the most part, the thou sands of people who turned out to see the first Soviet Communist chief of government ever to visit this country obviously aid so more out of curiosity than tribute. Yet many of them did wave and smile back when Khru shchev waved his black homburg hat and grinned jovially. The chunky Premier was a scene-stealer right from the start at the air base in nearby Maryland and on the drive to the President’s guest house, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. He kept putting his hat on and taking it off, or holding it up to keep the sun from his eyes, all the time Eisenhower was deliv ering his brief speech of welcome at the airport. During the motorcade trip into town, the Premier partly blocked the crowd’s view of Eisenhower. He rode much of the way with his left arm on top of the back seat, almost around the President’s shoulders. On the other side of Eisenhower was Mrs. Khrushchev and a huge spray of red roses. Right from the start, too, there was a sparing and jockeying for position in the eyes of the world —the beginning of what may be a duel lasting through Khru shchev’s entire 13-day stay in the United States. There was an emphasis on friendship, peace and understand ing. But there also was an under (Continued on page two) er ihe fields of liberal arts, ag riculture, homo economics, min eral industries, engineering and architecture, chemistry and physics, business administra tion, physical education, edu cation, publications, dramatics and forsenics, honor societies and service fraternities, student government, independent or ganizations, musical organiza tions, religious organizations, athletics, social interest groups and military societies. Each booth will be staffed with representatives of the activities which come under one of the 19 main headings.

A cluster of Negro children stood in silence in a schoolyard on the outskirts. At othpr spots, though, there were loud greet ings. On Pennsylvania Ave, the bands played and the guards marched. But on both sides of them, there was silence. The story at the air base bad been differ ent. Khrushchev stepped down from the big Soviet transport wealing his familiar grin. The Soviet leader warmed up by planting a kiss on the cheek of a 10-year old Rusisnn girl who handed hirn a big bouquet of roses (Continued on page two) Orientation Schedule TODAY fre-hman women, Program, Schwab, 6:U> p.m. College event*. 7:45 pm.

A display that might prove of special interest to men and women alike is the sorority booth sponsored by the Penhel lenic Council. Pins from all the sororities on campus will be displayed at this booth. Varsity cheerleaders will be on hand to explain what they do, how they learn their routines and how to try out for the squad. Members of scholastic honor ary societies from each curricu lum will explain the basis on which students are tapped each year for and thus, they hope, give students some thing toward which to work. The activities information which will be used at the exposition was collected and compiled through the dean of men’s office by Nancy Clark, SGA secretar treasurer, and Steven Ott, who are co-chairmen of the program.
