IFC Board Postpon Two Ca The Interfraterni y Council Board of Control last night postponed action o two cases concerning violati on of the Council's rule for t pledging men without sufficient av erages. Robert Parsky, board chairman, said that Sigma Chi and Alpha Epsilon Pi will be permitted to bring additional evidence to the board's next meeting concerning their possible infractions. A fraternity pledge must have a 2.0 All-University average or a 2.2 previous semester's average. The cases were postponed be cause the fraternities could not obtain evidence of innocence last night, Parsky said. In other action, the board up held a ruling made last semester concerning freshman men play ing ih dance bands at fraternity houses. Under deferred rushing rules, freshman may not enter a fraternity until his second se mester. The board also began discus sion of possible changes in.the University's Social Code Regu lations. Under consideration is a move to change to the hours' regulation for dancing at fra ternity parties. Presently, danc ing must end at midnight. Also discussed were the hours women are permitted in fraterni ties Sunday through Thursday. Women are permitted in frater nities until 8:15 p.m. on week days and until 10 p.m. on Sunday. Parsky said recommendations in these areas will be made at the board's next meeting. .

Universit Anal sis Space Studies Bring Eng Changes By JEFF POLLACK (Second in a Series) This is the machine age. It is an age when technology :hanges faster than books can be printed to tell students about it. What is new today may be obsolete in a week, or even tomorrow.

Of the 7 registered - in .the year, 670 are tali form program. The common ye means the student is -, , , ~.. 0 . Nine hundred tickets were dis tributed at the Hetzel Union desk to students yesterday within a half hour. A line started forming at 11 a.m.—two hours before the distribution began. The double line stretched across the main floor of the HUB, past the ballroom, and spilled out onto the driveway in front of the HUB. The tickets distributors were forced to open the ticket booth at 12:30 p.m. in order to alleviate the crowded conditions. Never before in the 3-year history of the Artists Series has there been such a popular demand for tick ets, Mrs. Brown said. Non-student tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. today and will cost $1.25. Several students have asked Mrs. Brown why the program cannot be held in Recreation Hall. The reason is that it has been re served for Saturday by the Col lege of Agriculture, she said. Mrs. Kathleen Morrison, Frost's niece and manager of his tour, was contacted about the prob lem of not being able to accom odate enough students. When the possibility of having Frost appear over television circuits was posed to her, she said that he could not endure the rigors of the hot lights and technical equipment involved, in television. The Artists Series Commit tee is exploring the possibility of a Sunday afternoon reading. At the moment this seems un likely because Schwab is en gaged: and Frost has a cold which will probably make it impossible for him to speak three days (he is speaking to another group Friday night), according to Mrs. Brown. Announcements will be made in The Daily Collegian as to which alternatives will be chosen to give more students the oppor tunity to hear Frost, she said. Frost will present readings from some some of his works in the program which will be held at 8:30 p.m. Saturday in Schwab. Fraternity House Fire No damage was reported from the fire at 5:26 a.m. yesterday at Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity house at 234 E. Beaver Ave. The Alpha Fire Co:, which an swered the alarm, extinguished the fire in a matter of minutes. courses he will take and is sched uled for courses which will give him a broad foundation in the engineering field. It also allows him an extra year before choos ing the specific field he wishes to major in. Only freshmen in agricultural engineering (21), architecture (65) and architectural engineering (25) are not under the program. Laurence E. Dennis, vice pres ident, for academic affairs, said the common year program "re flects the fact that the engin eering college is conscious of the rapid changes in technol ogy." He said the idea was to instruct the student in the fundamentals of his field and bring him as up to date as possible, but to leave it to him to keep up with the lat est developments after graduation. • The problem is not as simple as keeping up with technology, how ever.

During the fall semester, 1954-55, there were 401 students enrolled in civil engineering and 585 taking mechanical en gineering. This represented al most 40 per cent of the students in the entire college. At that time, as now, the De partment of Electrical Engineer ing was the largest with '756 stu dents, or a little less than 30 per cent of the total. Then space came into impor tance; the Russians launched Sputnik and the race to the stars was on. Building bridges and roads lost its glamour. Electrical engineering became the field of importance. It of fered the most opportunity for advancement and lob security. Other departments began to dwindle.

Engle said last night that even though he had accepted the Copper Bowl coaching job, his first obligation would be Ic Penn State and his team. This will be Engle's first post season coaching job since 1957 when he was head coach of the East team in the annual East- West Shrine game in San Fran cisco. While Engle was accepting the Copper Bowl bid, his Nittany Lions were among three Eastern teams being mentioned for a pos sible bid to the first Liberty Bowl game in Philadelphia, Dec. 19. The Liberty Bowl is the new est of the major bowls and will be played in Philadelphia's 100,000-seat Municipal Stadium. The teams for the Liberty Bowl' supposedly will pit an Eastern power against one of the top schools In any other section of the country. Also mentioned as Eastern pos sibilities are Syracuse and Pitts burgh. Air Force, LSU, Mississippi, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Texas Christian and Tennessee are other possible choices.. Lou Little, chairman of the Bowl's selection committee, says the Army-Air Force Academy game Saturday and meetings be tween Syracuse, Penn State and Pitt might determine the corn mittee's choice. A Liberty Bowl screening com mittee will watch Penn State in action on closed circuit television in its next two games against West Virginia and Syracuse. Ike For Reveals Plans Western Talks WASHINGTON (IP)—President Eisenhower disclosed yes terday that all major Western leaders, French President Charles de Gaulle included, have agreed to hold a Western summit conference within the next few months. De Gaulle evidently is call apparently is going to get his way about putting off until sometime next spring a subsequent East- West summit conference with So viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. The Western session may take place before the end of the year, perhaps in Paris. Eisenhower said the time and place remain to be worked out There have been plenty of indications that a Western con ference was a certainty. But Eisenhower's statement to a news conference that de Gaulle will be ready for one around mid-December was the first def inite word the French leader has agreed to attend. The news conference got aroundl to other topics. Eisenhower applied a bit more pressure for ending the steel strike, said it is puzzling why Cu ba's Fidel Castro is so unhappyl with the United States, and en visioned no significant reductions in U.S. defense spending in the Will Legislators Begin? See Page 4 Assembly To Discuss Class Break The possibility of extending the time between classes to 15 minutes will be presented for ,discussion tonight at the Stu 4ent Government Association Assembly meeting. The suggestion is part of Stu dent Encampment report which will be given to the Assembly at 8 p.m. in 215 Hetzel Union Building. Jay Hawley; chairman of the Workshop on the Effects of Uni versity Expansion on the Student Body, said last night that the con tinuous physical growth of the University prompted this recom mendation. Hawley also said two other recommendations were based on this idea, that of a warning sys tem to signal the beginning and end of classes and that of syn chronizing University clockit These would make sure that everyone knew exactly when classes were over, Hawley said. These suggestions, he said have a more immediate value while most of the others in the report are concerned with longer range plans. Another workshop recommen dation is that of investigating the possibility of having chartered bus service between State Col lege and large cities. ng the turn on timing. He also budget he will send to Congress • in January. It also was announced that the President plans to undergo his an nual thorough physical checkup at Walter Reed Army Medical Cen ter soon, possibly later this week. Eisenhower told newsmen that a contract between Kaiser Steel Corp. and the United Steelworkers Union, ending a small segment of the steel strike, "should be a signal for labor and management to find a basis in which we can get back into full production." With reference to Cuban Prime Minister Castro's tirades against the United States, Eisenhower was asked: "What do you suppose, sir, 'is eating him?" He declined to go into Castro's motives. He gave his backing to a State Department statement Tues day contending that relations be tween the two countries are be ing hurt by Castro's charges that the United States opposes him and supports his enemies.
