Eisenhower agreed to move ahead his deadline for re- Poll Sought On Nittany Dining Wish Nittany men will be polled this week to find out if they would like to eat in the wonl en's residence halls dining rooms. The announcement of the poll was made last night by Harald Sandstrom, president of the Asso ciation of Independent Men, at the organization's first Board of Governors' meeting. Sandstrom instructed the Nit tany area delegates to take the poll. He said the request had come from Dr. Robert G. Bern reuter, special assistant to the president for student affairs.' II passed, the change in eat ing places would probably take place after' the Thanksgiving vacation, Sandstrom said. He added that no definite dining halls had been selected for the plan. The Board of Governors also approved a change in the sharing of expenses on joint projects with the Leonides Council, independ ent women's organization. Under the old 'system AIM paid two thirds of all costs on joint proj ects. Last night the board agreed to pay three-fourths of all costs. This was done to bring the amount paid into line with the approximate ratio of independent men to women. Club Hubana, an AIM off spring two years ago, was brought back under the direct control of the Board of Governors. The board voted to require the chair man of the Club Hubana com mittee to report monthly on the progress and financial standing of the organization. The motion also gives the Board of Governors the final say on all financial responsibilities end expenses of the group. , - —Collegian Photo by Marty Scherr I T'S A BULLSEYE, Robin Hood," shouts Friar Tuck (Sam Parsons), left, and a member of the Sherwood Forest band (Gloria Myers.)

The President must get the , report, detailing the facts in the dispute, before he can or der the Justice Department to seek an 80-day, strike-stopping injunction. The extension gives the three man inquiry board more time to try to wangle a peace pact. That would make a report un necessary. Panel Chairman George W. Taylor, a veteran me diator of labor disputes, said: "Naturally, our aim is to avoid filing any report at all." Taylor said his panel needed more time anyway to assemble the voluminous testimony and exhibits presented by both sides and put them in shape for a re port, in the likely event one must be filled. The panel, on receiving word that Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell had obtained the time extension, arranged to meet se parately in secret sessions with top negotiators of the union and in dustry. It was clear the panel was driv ing hard in the time left to break the deadlock that has blocked set tlement of the 92-day strike, worst in steel industry history. The striking United Steel workers Union completed its arguments on the strike issues Tuesday night. R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of U.S. Steel Corp., and chief industry negotiator, kicked off the companies' side Wednesday. There was little outward evi dence Taylor's panel has yet scored any gain toward moving both sides toward agreement. Cooper and another leading in dustry negotiator, 'John A.

She added that this recommenda tion is the key to the rest of the report, since several other pro posals depend on this issue. Most of the discussion in the workshop was concerned with this suggestion, Miss Janjigian said. The discussion was very objective since most of the workshop members were "new en the job and didn't come with preconceived notions," she said. Peter Luckie (C.-Sr.) chairman of the Rules Committee, said that he is "definitely in favor of" the recommendation. Luckie said that having the„ president chair the Assembly would be a greater incentive for him to take part in Assembly business. A person is reluctant to give a report, Luckie said, if he is not actively participating. SGA President Leonard Ju lius said last night he would make no comment on the recommendation until the As sembly meeting tonight. SGA Vice President Larry Byers could not be reached for com ment. Charles Steele, co-chairman of Campus party said his party executive committee has gone on record as favoring the Encamp ment recommendation. Steele added that he personal ly thinks the recommendation is a "good thing." Since the presi dent was elected as the most qualified student, he should chair the Assembly, Steel said. University Party in an open meeting last week decided to oppose the encampment recom mendation, at least under exist ing conditions and the facts known at present. One of the.arguments for keep ing the vice president as the As sembly head, pointed out by How ard Byers, was that the president would be better informed if he were an onlooker rather than a participant "bogged down with parliamentary rigmarole."
