Non-student tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Holbrook will appear at 8:30 pm. Tuesday in Schwab Audi torium. He will recite several selections from Twain's works, as he recreates one of America's greatest authors and personali ties. Holbrook, who is in his early thirties, will portray Twain at the age of 70. Holbrook was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. He studied the theater at Denison University and was graduated with honors. In 1942, he made ,his first profes sional appearance in "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Following a stint in the Army, Holbrook played in several sum mer stock companies. In 1948, he and his wife organized a two person show in which they did several scenes from Shakespeare's plays. Holbrook also appeared on numerous television shows. Last April Holbrook first ap peared on Broadway as Mark Twain. He immediately sky rocketed to fame and his perform ance was a sell-out for the entire summer. Holbrook refuses to say exactly what will be included on his pro ram because it would "cripple his inspiration" if he were pinned down. Since a large ticket demand is anticipated, attempts were made by the Artists Series committee to arrange for two performances by Holbrook. This was foLnd to be impossible because it was felt two performances would be too strenuous for him. Holding the performance in Recreation Hall was also ruled out since the program is informal and not suited to a large audience In a large building.

University Anal sis BusAd, Chem Phys Colleges Expand By JEFF POLLACK Ninth of a Series The College of Business Administration and the Col lege of Chemistry and Physics are both expanding and hav ing minor growing pains. But problems are taking a back seat to the growing reputation and achievements of the colleges. Lawrence E. Dennis, vice pres ident for academic affairs, said chemistry and physics had a "healthy, surprising growth." He termed the business college's growth the fastest, considering it IS only six years old. The College of Chemistry and Physics had an undergraduate enrollment of 812 in the fall of 1954. This semester there are 835 registered. An even larger growth, from 1115 to 1479 has been recorded by the College of STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING.

Assembly passed the recommendation stating: ''ln the event.the Elections Commission decides that a violation of the code merits disqualification of a candidate(s), the case will be tak en before the Supreme Court for approval?' The ruling formerly instructed cases to be brought before the SGA Assembly. Co-chairman of the Elections Commission Robert Umstead said the original wording of the code referred to the Assembly since the Supreme Court had not been created at that time. SGA President Leonard Julius announced last night that the Supreme Court will be organ ised early next week. Assembly rejected, by a vote of 14 to 5, a proposed addition to the Elections Code regulating the changing of parties by a candi date. The recommendation stated: "Once a person registers in one party he may not run in another party for a position in the SGA elections unless he notifies the Elections Commispion chairman, in writing, of such intention one week prior to the date of final nominations." Argument against the recom mendation centered around the powers of the Elections Commis Businass Administration in the same period. One way in which the colleges differ is in the class division of of the undergraduates. Chemistry goes from its largest enrollment in the freshman year to the small est in the senior, Business, except for a slight drop during the soph omore year, grows in enrollment toward the senior year. This year the business college has 276 rreshmen, a drop from 310 five years ago. The chemistry college enrollment has increased to 343 from 283. The Department of Chemical Engineering boasts a third of the students in the entire college. There are 120 freshmen and a total of 314 undergraduates en rolled. However, this is a decrease over the number five years ago when there were 346 registered. Physics shows the greatest jump, going from 97 in 1954 to FOR A BETTER PENN STATE By JIM MORAN sion. Several assemblymen - ex pressed feelings that the Elec tions Commission, on the basis of this proposal ? would limit the candidate in his choosing of a party. The defeated recommenda tion was an amended version of the original one which pre vented a candidate from regis tering in another party after he had registered in one party, if it were less than one week be fore final party nominations. Walter Darran, Assembly ma jority leader, introduced a report b ythe now-defunct All-Univer sity Cabinet which set forth nine recommendations concerning vol untary vs. compulsory ROTC. Damn said that the ROTC is sue is not dead and is very im portant to the student body. He pointed out that the Board of !Trustees and the University Sen late have not acted on Cabinet's proposals, which include limiting the compulsory ROTC program to one year. Darran urged Assembly to study the ROTC issue in full, in prepara tion for debate on the matter next week. 233 this semester. Five years ago there were only 27 fresh men, now there are 74. • The chemistry department also has grown from 126 to 191, includ ing a jump from 49 to 79 fresh men. Dennis said the Department of Chemistry, of all science and en gineering departments in the Uni veristy, had the broadest curri culum—with the most humanities and social science. He said the physics department, like . the business college, were experimenting with the use of seniors and graduate students as teaching aids. He also said the College of Business Administra tion was turning' to larger sec tions acid television to solve its faculty problems. Both colleges, according to Dennis, are constantly work ing to better their programs.

It was also recommended that each parking space be numbered and that parking areas be analyzed to provide maximum pal king. Harald Sandstrom, co-chairman of the workshop on off-campus living problems, said the number of permits issued now for a nark ing area is greater than the num ber of spaces available. The authorities are "crossing their fingers," he said, in hopes that all students assigned to an area do not decide to park there at the same time. ..Walt Darran (C.-Jr.) questioned the feasibility of numbering each parking space. He said there would be many times when areas would be vacant and no one would be able to use them if each park ing space were reserved. Robert Parsky, also co-chairman. of the workshop, explained, how ever, that the recommendation did not call for the numbering of all spaces in an area. Different types of parking would be desig nated ;n each lot, he said, and [part of the lot would probably be marked for anyone to park there at a certain time. The report also asked that a study be made to investigate a maximum parking in all areas. Points suggested were: •Bumper to bumper parking with attendants for staff, *Numbered parking areas for students with paid permits. •Parking lots with overfow availability for faculty use. 4,Floating permits available for cars parking in numbered park ing spaces which belong to a car pool. Sandstrom said the committee felt this last point would en courage the use of more car pools and thus cut down on the number of cars on campus. Sandstrom's report also con tained recommendation on town living conditions, which asks the posibility of having all landlords and students sign a voluntary agreement releasing the Univer sity from any legal responsibil ity. It was also suggested that a publicity campaign be organized to "stimulate the moral respon sibility of the landlords in provid ing good housing."

He has held his present position By CAROL BLAKESLEE Reds Attack West Berlin Radio Plan MOSCOW (IP) The Soviet Union thrust the dormant Berlin issue to the fore again yesterday by charging that the West Ger man government plans to build a new radio station in West Berlin for propaganda. The Kremlin released a stiff note of protest to the United States, Britain and France asking them to take measures to prevent such "unlawful" action. It charged the plan was a pre meditated attempt to interfere with the success of the coming negotiations on the Berlin ques tion. It said that the Camp Da vid talks of Soviet - Premier Ni kita Khrushchev and President Eisenhower had created favorable conditions for reaching an agree- I ntent on Berlin. . Setting up the West German radio station, Deutschland Funk, in West Berlin would violate the present status of the divided city and is aimed at "fanning up the cold war" and increasing "sub versive activity and hostile propa ganda" against East German, the Soviet note said. West German officials in Bonn said the Soviet protest was against a legislative proposal by the gov ernment to set up national radio and television networks in compe tition with state-operated hook ups. It calls for the radio headquar ters to be built in West Berlin, television headquarters in Frank furt, and,a third headquarters for broadcasts beamed overseas at Cologne.
