Committee
To Review
Activities
The Student Government
Association Cabinet last night
discussed the' Senate Commit
tee on Student Affairs plan to
investigate and review all
student organizations, evaluating
them according to their purposes.
A major target of the survey
will be ferreting out organiza
tions no longer active but still
on the record.
The consensus of Cabinet was
that the students should play a
bigger role in the probing of
campus organizations, since that
is the purpose of student govern
ment.
The announcement that the
Artists* Series would present
the Modern Jaaz Quartet as
part of the Awards Night pro
gram oi Spring Week, brought
a flurry of discussion on the
feasibility of such a plan.
Inter-College Council Board
Chairman David Epstein objected
to the scheduling of the jazz pro
gram and the awards presenta
tions-cornation on the same eve
ning. He cited past incidents of
inattention toward the perform
ers by the audience, which was
there primarily to see the awards
presented.
Cabinet suggested that Art
ists' Series and Spring Week
commilfee*members work out
a feasible plan for the event.
New Candidates Called
The first meeting for candi
dates for the news, sports and
photography staffs of The Daily
Collegian will be held at 6:30
tonight in 214 Boucke. All in
terested students may attend.

A motion to set the fall pledg

Robert Parsley, chairman of
the IFC Board of Control, an
nounced lhaf the new policy of
the board will be "prevention
rather than punishment" in en
forcing the IFC regulations.
To facilitate the operation of the
new policy, a strict checking sys
tem has been devised.
Seventeen team captains will
head a group of checkers com
posed of two members from each
fraternity. There will be a meet
ing of the checkers at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in 10 Sparks to explain
the duties and to organize the
group.
The Council pass.ed an amend
ment to the Junior Interfrater
nity Council constitution proposed
by Arthur Miltenberger, member
. at large of the executive commit
tee.
Under the new amendment, '■
the president of ihe Jr. IFC '
will be selected by the officers '■
of ihe IFC executive commit- !
tee, rather than by self-nom- 1
ination and election by the
Jr. IFC.
Supporting his proposal, Mil
tenberger said that under the old
system of self-nomination the .Jr.
IFC was not getting the strong
leadership it needed to be a suc
cessful organization. He said there
is a need for more careful screen
ing and selection of candidates
for the president’s position.
Carlos Astez, a senior in po
litical science from Argentina,
was presented the IFC’s Kent-
Foster Memorial Scholarship for
the second year. Astez, who is a
member of the varsity soccer
team, has a 3.4 All-University
average.
Ronald Resh, vice president of
the council, announced that a
meeting of fraternity presidents
and all new pledges will be held
at 7:30 p.m* tomorrow in 10
Sparks to explain the Jr. IFC
and the various committees in the
organization.

Khrushchev Visit May Lead
To Conference at Summit
WASHINGTON (/P) —President Eisenhower said yesterday his secret talks with Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev about Berlin’s future led to enough progress to wipe out many
of his objections to a summit conference.
At a special news conference, Eisenhower strongly hinted a top level East-West parley
is now virtually certain but not until he consults with British, French, West German

The Student Government
Association Assembly will be
asked to approve Student
E n eampment recommenda

president in a dual role in stu

both the Assembly and the Ex

These recommendations, which
came out of the SGA workshop
of the 1959 Student Encampment,
would mean constitutional revi

SGA vice president chairs the As

Clearance Needed
For State Posts
Faculty members will have to
clear with the University admin
istration before they can be em
ployed by a State agency on a
part-time basis.
The clearance will have to state
that the planned work will not
interfere with regular University
duties. The clarification was made
yesterday by Roy Wilkinson Jr.,
University counsel.
Wilkinson said the requirement
does not apply solely to the Uni
versity, but had been in effect
wth other State agencies for
years.

Reasons 'given by workshop
members for adoption of the new
recommendation were that under
the present system, the prestige
which has been accorded the pres

past has been lowered, and he is
now forced to sell himself and his

to have them approved.

Lions
21-0
Top Keydets,
in Stiff Battle
Even ole Stonewall Jackson would have been proud of
the Keydets from his native Virginia Military Institute for
their performance against Penn State Saturday on Beaver
Field.
Although they lost to the heavily favored Nittany Lions,
21-0, the Keydets gave a good ac-i
count of themselves before 19,800.!
Playing without' their top bocki
and captain, Sam Horner, the 1
boys from Lexington, Va., battled
Riverboat Richie Lucas and com
pany to a complete standstill for
most of the first half.
But late in the second period
the Riverboat hoisted anchor
and the Lions were underway.
With the score 0-0 and the ball
on the 50, Lucas came, in with .the
second unit on the field, and un
corked an 18-yard aerial to full
back Sam Sobczak on the 32.
On the next play Lucas hit the
Lions’ leading ground gainer Dick
Pae with & 14-yarder and the ball
and other allied leaders.
The President said that Khrush
chev—who once had given the
West six months to get out of
West Berlin—has now agreed
there will be no deadline for
East-West negotiations to meet in
seeking a peaceful settlement.
Eisenhower said Khrushchev
has agreed these talks should
not be "unnecessarily or unduly
extended."
He did not explain whether this
meant negotiators would have
days, weeks or months to talk.
“No one is under duress,” Ei
senhower said, when asked wheth
er Khrushchev promised to ease
pressure on the German capital.
MOSCOW OP) Nikita
Khrushchev, beaming at a hero's
welcome home yesterday, said
his American trip was very
successful. He told the Soviet
people President Eisenhower is
a man of peace with the back
ing of all but a small minority
of Americans.
The Soviet Premier noted in
stances of hostility and com
plained again of security meas
ures that caused him to threat
en in Los Angeles to cut short
his tour, but good feeling was
the keynoie of his report.
“No one is under any kind of
threat and, as a matter of fact,
he stated emphatically that never
had he any intention to give any
thing that was to be interpreted
as duress or compulsion.”
I Eisenhower gave no clue to the
kind of Berlin settlement that
might be shaping up.
Khrushchev in reporting Sun
day on his talks said he and
Eisenhower found much in com
mon in their search for a settle
ment of the Berlin crisis.
And yesterday, back in Moscow,
Khrushchev shouted to loud ap
plause at a homecoming rally:
"Long live Amencan-S ovi e t
friendship!”
Eisenhower set off a diplomatic
furor by telling newsmen he could
not guarantee that any settlement
would uphold the previous vows
to protect the freedom of West
Berliners and to guard allied
rights.
