Dizzy Gillespie has made;
restitution to the Jazz Club
for his failure to appear for a
concert on Oct. 13, 1957.
He has paid $-[03.35 his
share of the loss sustained by
the club for use of Recreation
Hall and publicity costs. His part
ner, Sunny Stitt, refused the or
der of the American Federation
of Musicians to pay $403.34.
The Jazz Club has been carry
ing on an out-of-court battle
through a New York lawyer, to
force payment. The American
Federation of Musicians declared
that it was mandatory for them
to pay if they wish to remain
in the union. If Stitt wishes to
rejoin, he must pay the Jazz
Club, it was reported to the club
by Peter Duncan, former presi
dent.
In other business, plans were
announced to hold a jazz session
on Oct. 3, in the Coffee Spot
banquet room, featuring the
Billy Root Quintet. Admission,

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
COLLEGE, PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24. 1959 FIVE CENTS
ttend Luncheon at Pitt

fowa (TP) —Nikita Khrushchev left lowa last night for Pittsburgh where
:heon at the University of Pittsburgh.
nemorable day in which he plowed his way through some
the conclusion that “God helped you a lot.”
g the words of the avowed Communist-atheist
1 reached
t ponderi:
them: “You must not think God
is helping only you. He’s helping
us, too. We are developing quick
er, and therefore God is on our
side. He helps the intelligent.”
Khrushchev, rugged and bouncy
too, tramped through part of a
mile-square corn field, looked at
■fat cattle and tried to get an
idea how it is that it takes so
few Americans to raise so much
food and even have a surplus.
His host was capitalist farm-,
er Roswell 'Bob' Garst who op
erates thousands of acres in this
area of west-central lowa. Garst
had met the Premier previous
ly on two trips to the Soviet
Union. He invited the Premier
to visit him when he visited
America.
'ifh
b
At one point, Garst threw his
arm around his guest and re
marked: “You know, between us,
we two farmers could soon settle
problems faster than the diplo
mats.
Garst caught sight of Henry
Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations, who is guid
ing the world’s top Communist
around the country.
‘‘Oh, excuse me!” Garst ex
claimed.
Although the Premier was re
ported to have stayed up late han
dling paper work flown in from
Moscow, he was amiable and
perky and saying at his first stop
that “This is going to be a jovial
day."
Here in the heart of the farm
belt. Khrushchev repeated
again his claim that the Soviet
Union is goin to outstrip the
United States in production of
everything—corn included.
“I must say you are a very
wise, intelligent people in this
part of the country. But God
has helped you a lot. He's given
you good soil, but you mustn’t
think that God is helping only
you. He’s helping us, too,” he re
marked. Garst reminded him that
the Americans have a saying:
“The Lord helps those who help
i themselves.”
It was then that Khrushchev
declared “God is on our side” be
’ cause the Soviet Union is develop
’ ing faster.
All this from the Number 1
1 man of Communism, in which
atheism is a state policy.

Customs
To Return
To Normal
The “Schwab Singers,” a
group of enthusiastic freshmen
rounded up daily by upper
classmen, will today entertain
without many of its female
members, as customs goes back
to normal.
During Reverse Customs yester
day, most of the cheers and songs
had a predominantly feminine
tone, as upperclassmen took the
opportunity to make freshman
coeds perform.
Today, however, coeds will be
expected to curtsey when asked
to do so by an upperclass woman
and freshman men must “button”
when asked by an upperclass
man.
Donald Clagett, chairman of the
Freshman Customs Board, urged
all freshmen to continue wear
ing their dress customs. A large
number of freshmen who have
violated this regulation have al
ready been brought before the
board, he said, and checks may
be made at various points around
campus today.
Clagett also urged all upper
class students to continue en
forcing all parts of customs and
to turn in any violators to the
Customs Board. Names and vio
lations should be turned in on
forms available at the HUB desk.

Spivakovsky’s appearance will
mark the first program of the

prano, will perform.

The University will also be
sending programs into homes in

company will permit the sending
of University programs over its
system on an unassigned channel
in exchange for using the water
tower as a base for its antenna.
Also under consideration are
plans to link the Altoona and Du-
Bois campuses to the University
by means of the micro-wave sys
tem used in sending University
programs over channel 10 in Al
toona, Dennis said.
If permission were granted by
the Fed eral Communications
Commission, these two cam

;s34.2Million
Approved by
Committee
j HARRISBURG The Re
ipubliean-controlled Senate
Appropriations Committee
yesterday approved the Uni
versity’s $34.2 million bien
nium request.
Although slashing funds from
other appropriation lequests sent
to the committee 'by the House
of Representatives, the committee
left intact the appropriation bill
for state aided colleges and uni
versities.
The House appropriations com
mittee previously had approved
the $34.2 million figure for the
University 1959-61 budget.
President Eric A. Walker had
originally requested $43.9 million
in his budget request to Gov. Da
vid L. Lawrence. Lawrence cut
the figure to $34.2 million m bud
get message to the General As
sembly March 15.
In early August, the University
raised its tuition fees and Walker
trimmed his budget request to
some $4O million. New fees will
add about $3.7 million in the
next two years.
The entire state appropriations
now rest in the hands of the Sen
ate, as the lower house has passed
the appropriations bills. If the
University is to gain additional
funds, the Senate will have to
provide the funds in a separate
appropriation bill.
