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.

Two members of SGA As
sembly who were elected on
the Campus party ticket have
switched their affiliation to
University party.
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.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1960
Heavy Snow
Due Tonight;
Cold to Remain
A developing storm will
bring more snow to an already
snow ridden state this after
noon and tonight. 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. Three to six
inches of new snow is due 'hy to
morrow afternoon.

Ike Discusses
Latin Trip
WASHINGTON (/P President Eisenhower assured th,
American people last night that U.S. relationships with her
sister republics of Latin America have—with very few ex
ceptions—"reached an all-time high." 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."

Petition On
Book Tax
Circulated
A petition is now circulat
ing which asks the State legis
ture to take action on a bill
which would exempt students
from paying sales tax on col
lege text books.
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.
