The president of that council also heads ICCB. 'Education Student Council and 1 I Agriculture Student Council vot ed in favor of the plan. There were strong debates in each of the council meetings last night. Dorothy Newman, former president of the Education Stu dent Council, said that represen tation was definitely necessary be cause at present there is no close tie with representatives on Assem bly and the students. Douglas Pollak, an Education councilman, said that there was a link missing between present representatives and students, but this was because the present system covers a larger area. He suggested that council presi dents campaign through politi cal parties to obtain representa tion on the Assembly. The council also voted on hav ing the vice presidents of coun cils be Assembly representatives or that the ICCB president sit on the Assembly. Both proposals were defeated. The Liberal Arts Student Council voted against the plan for two reasons: They said that the new system of government has not been given a fair chance to operate long enough to prove its effectiveness and that with the present system,. representa tion of - more students is pos sible and makes for better stu dent government. Council President David Ep stein had proposed the plan and as ICCB president, was its chief advocate. Charles Ault, president of the Agriculture Student Council, said that he favored the recommenda tion because the Assembly now has no means of communication with students in the Agriculture Col lege and because council presi dents have more experience in student government than many members of the Assembly. He said that the council strong ly opposed student reorganization last year because it felt that con tact between student government and agriculture students would be greatly reduced. This has been the case, he said.

Jack Crosby, junior class presi dent, and Walter Darren, junior class representative who were both elected on the Campus party ticket last spring registered for University party on Sunday night. Crosby said he switched to University party because "it has much more to offer student gov ernment." He said that if he were nominated for the University tick et he would run for election. Darren had no comment on his reason for switching parties. He said that he would probably be willing to run on the Uni versity party ticket if he were nominated: This would depend on the position he would be nominated for and on other rea sons, he said. David Byers, spokesman for Campus party, said he was behind the two-party system and what it stands for. "I am not denying the right of these people (Crosby and Darran) to change parties but I am opposed to what I think their mo tivation is," Byers said. James Nelligan, University par ty chairman, said he thought Dar ran and Crosby were interested in running on the University party ticket. "It seems as if they just like University party better than the opposing party," he said. A bill restricting an Assembly member from switching political affiliation while still in office was proposed to the SGA Rules Com mittee Monday. -- , --Collegian Photo by Marty Scharr "IF THE PLUG IS PULLED in the Northern Hemisphere the water will travel the opposite way than if the plug is pulled in the Southern Hemisphere," claims C.

The sea son's worst cold wave will continue. The snow should begin I 'hi afternoon and con- ' tinue until tomor row morning with an accumulation of three to six inches expected in all sec- tions of the Corn monwealth includ- in this this area. This will be the third substantial snow storm to st Pennsylvania within days. The winter's worst storm dumped nearly a foot of snow last Thursday and almost three inches accumulated Monday afternoon from a light fluffy snow. Chief of Borough police John Juba has urged all fraternities to clear their walks of snow today, if they have not already done so. A local ordinance requires that all sidewalks be cleared of snow within 12 hours after the snow stops falling. Juba feels that he has given the fraternities ample time to comply with the ordi nance. The forecast is for mostly cloudy and cold today with snow begin ning late this afternoon and con tinuing tonight. Winds will be .ome gusty tonight and some blow ing and drifting snow is likely. Today's high should be near 26 degrees and tonight's low will be near 18. The snow should taper off to flurries tomorrow, but the cold weather will remain.

He added that "an even firmer partnership must be ot. Eisenhower was reportin; radio-TV address on the grueling, 15,500-mile good-will mission to South America from which he returned Monday. He called it "a most instructive and rewarding experience." But if the nations of Latin America were expecting any con crete plans for assistance or spe cific offers of U.S. help, now that Eisenhower has seen their im mense problems first hand, the speech was a disappointment. Eisenhower renewed offers he made many limes on his tour to hold out the hand of this coun tr y in cooperation. But he spelled out no wealth of details. Eisenhower was warmly re ceived by the countries he visited —Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. And he said his first words must be a heartfelt ex pression of gratitude for the friendly receptions wherever he went. Referring to demonstrations in which police used tear gas and fire hoses in Montevideo, Uruguay, Eisenhower said the exceptions made headlines. But he dismissed them as minor in cidents, lost in the massed wel come. He repeated that this country stands frimly by its commitment under the Rio Treaty of 1947 to regard an attack on one American republic as an attack on all. "This mutual security system, proved by time," he said, "should now enable some of the Ameri can republics to reduce expendiz tures for armaments, and thus make funds available for con structive purposes." One of the most far-reaching continental problems. Eisen hower said, is that Latin-Amer ican republics are largely single commodity nations in exports, with the prices of things they buy going up and the world market prices of what they sell fluctuating widely. The real solution here, he said, is in - agricultural and industrial drversineation. "Despite such problems as these," the President declared, "our relationships with our sister ( republics have, with notable—and! very few—exceptions, reached an ,all-time high. But an even firmer !partnership must be our goal." mounted mirrors will be placed Work has already started on a above the dressers in their new storm sewer system for the Nit locations. tany area.

An SGA committee headed by James Kridel (C.-Soph.) has post ed petitions in the Hetzel Union, Boucke, Mineral Sciences, Sackett and Forestry buildings. Commit tee members are also circulating the petition to the residence halls on a room-to-room basis and to fraternity houses. The bill was presented to the State House of Representatives in the fall but was committed to the Rules Committee at that time and no action has been taken on it since. Last week SGA received a let ter from Albright College in Reading asking cooperation in a move to get the bill out of com mittee and before the House. The SGA committee was organized over the weekend and began cir culating petitions Monday. Kridel said last night he could give no estimate of the number of students who have already signed the petitions. He said he has gotten about 200 signatures himself and that students seemed very willing to sign the petition. Kridel set 50 per cent of the student body as the goal to be reached. Albright asked that the petition be sent to them by Satur day, therefore the drive on cam [pus will end Friday.
