Collegian Phone UN 5-253! VOL. 60. No. 8 Lions Ike-'K' Discuss Issues GETTYSBURG, Pa. (ff) President Eisenhower and 1 Russia’s Premier Khrushchev met last night on the summit of a mountain to discuss cold war issues between their countries. The leaders of the world’s two most powerful nations began their historic conference within IQ min utes after they flew together in a helicopter to Eisenhower’s Camp David, Md., mountain retreat some 25 miles from here. Their initial face-to-face meet ing, on the sunporch of Eisenhow er’s mountain lodge, got under way with a White House reminder that Eisenhower would avoid ne gotiating behind the backs of U.S. allies on problems involving them. Word that the two leaders had begun their talks was re layed to newsmen here by While House press secretary James C. Hagerlv. Hagerty said the opening meet ing was "a general discussion of the world situation rather than any specific topic as such.” In response to questions, Hag erty said the only negotiations would be on strictly Soviet-Amer ican matters such as a new agree ment to exchange educational, scientific and cultural ' delega tions. Hagerty did not, of course, rule out discussion between the two leaders of such crucial is sues as Berlin, disarmament and nuclear tests. In saying that Eisenhower would “negotiate” only on U.S.- Soviet matters, he made it clear it is the President’s position that no final decisions will be reached on matters which directly con cern U.S. allies, without first con sulting them. Even though the White House stressed Eisenhower would steer clear of "negotiations,” there was’ (Continued on page five) Architecture Class Plans Shopping Mall Toledo, Ohio, and Kalamazoo, Mich., may soon have nothing on State College—if the Architecture 411 classes’ plan for a shopping mall proves feasible and is accepted by the borough. x The project, under the direction of William A. Hajjar, professor of architecture, is now m the study stage with a pedes trian count and numerous inter views being taken on S. Allen St. A tally of the number of cars being driven on the street is also being made. • Students in the class are inter viewing storekeepers along the proposed mall to discover their feelings on the idea. The pedestrian mall project has not been officially request ed by the borough officials, al though they have been contact- i ed about the idea. The pedestrian mall idea for shopping areas became popular earlier this year. Many cities are giving the idea serious consider ation and several, including To ledo and Kalamazoo, are now con ducting trial malls.

Letters have been written to other cities studying the possi bility-of pedestrian malls to ob tain their opinions on such a project. Once all the information is col lected it will be correlated and analyzed to determine whether or not such a project is necessary or feasible.' Jf the test results show a need for the mall, preliminary sketch es, charts and diagrams will be made up. Finally a complete scale model of the area will be con structed showing the location of trees and benches. Also involved in the project would be provisions for parking cars near the mall so shoppers could drive close to the area. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Students Urged To Remember Traffic Rules State College Police Chief John R. Juba yesterday urged all stu dents to be aware of new borough traffic regulations during week days and on iootball or big week ends. He pointed out that State Col lege streets are more crowded this year, due" to increased student enrollment and the number of student-driven cars. Traffic regulation changes in the borough this year include 4-lane traffic along S. Atherton St., parking restrictions on College Ave. near the Garner St. inter section, and No Parking restric tions on the south side of Ather ton St. Juba urged special student co operation on big weekends, when borough streets virtually over flow with traffic. “We will do all we can to help with traffic,” he said, "but the big responsibility is the student’s.” Pleasant Weather Expected Today Partly cloudy skies, pleasant temperatures, and low humidity will continue until late this after n< - - . ti midity should be in the comfort able 40 per cent bracket.

Next season Penn State will be playing its home games in a brand new 42.500 seat stadium at the northeast end of campus. The Lions, with Riverboat Richie Lucas at the helm, will be looking for their second win of the young campaign this after noon. They beat Missouri last week, 19-8. V.M.I. will be without the services of their top back, Sam Horner, today, but the Keydels aren't conceding anything. Hor ner, the V.M.I. captain will be used only to kick. He suffered a pulled tendon last week in V.M.l.'s win over Marshall Col lege and the injury didn't re spond to treatment. Horner was the leading ground ;gainer in the southern conference last year and finished fifth in the nation. He also was the fifth lead ing punter in the country. “Horner’s loss is a tough thing to take,” said V.M I. coach John McKenna yesterday as he watched his spirited team go through a light workout. “Sam’s a real fine football player.” "This is one of the toughest games on our schedule and our boys are up for it," he added. Horner expressed similar feel ings: "The boys are really keyed up for this one and they think they can take it. They'll sure be in there fighting."

IFC Open Houses To Be Held Sunday See page 2 for map The Interfraternity Council will sponsor fraternity open houses for freshmen from 2 to 5 p.m. tomorrow. All fraternities will be open during this period and fresh men are urged to visit as many as possible. According to Donald Orr, IFC rushing chairman, at least three more open houses are planned this semester to give freshmen a chance to visit all the fraternities. The area in which the frater nities are located has been di vided into three sections: those located from Prospect to Fair mont Ave., those located from Fairmont to Beaver Ave. and those on Campus and S. Alien St. IFC open houses were institut ed last year as a result of the new deferred rushing plan. Un der the present rushing regula tions, freshmap men are not per mitted in fraternity houses with out special permission from the Dean of Men’s office. In mid-October, the IFC Rush ing Committee will give talks to men living la dormitories, ex Growing Together See Page 4 PA System To be Used 'Frequently' The Athletic Advisory Board last night approved a plan for increased use of the Beaver Field public address system at future football games. The board adopted a recom mendation to gove “a more com plete pinpointing of action” with in the 25-yard lines. Dean Ernest B. McCoy, direc tor of athletics, said the action was taken too late for a change in today’s program. However, in creased use would be made of the system for the Colgate game next Saturday, he said. The system has not been used extensively in the past due to poor location of the speakers which are now on the scoreboard. However, in looking to next year, McCoy said an excellent public address system will be in stalled in the new stadium. This will cut down the interference the system creates for the radio and television broadcasters in the present stadium. Increased use of the system was recommended last year by All- University Cabinet. Announce ment of touchdowns and a sum mary of the scoring drives was added. Dr. Lee Decker Resigns Dr. Charles F.

Ai this time the committee will also distribute rushing booklets which give locations of the fraternities and a brief description and history of each chapter. The booklet also con tains rushing regulations. Commenting on the deferred rushing plan, Orr said that it is hard to tell if the students and fraternities are benefitting by the new rules. Higher University en trance requirements may be chang i n g freshman academic standards as much as the new rushing regulations. Also many of the fraternities which hoped to save money with deferred rush ing last year, spent about the samd amount as in previous se mesters, he said. FIVE CENTS
