Nittany Occupants
To Stay In Dorms;
Moves End for Now
No residents now occupying a Nittany Residence Hall
will be forced to move to another hall this semester, Albert
E. Diem, vice president for business administration said
last night.
However, renovation of the Nittany area will take place
in those halls now empty. No im
provements are slated for the oc
cupied halls until the semester
[has ended, Otto E. Mueller, di
rector of housing said.
I The decision to maintain the
status quo in the area was made
by Diem last week, just prior to
[the spring recess.
"Although this may slow up
the renovation of the area this
seems the lesser of two evils/'
Diem said.
He was referring to a protest
demonstration held by the stu
dents of Nittany on April 10. The
residents of Nittany 27 protested
a sudden order from the Depart
ment of Housing to evacuate their
residence hall to allow repairs to
be made.
Furniture and newspapers were
scattered throughout the rooms
during the protest which occurred
24 hours after the order. j
No official eslimaie of the j
damage is available but the stu- j
dents will be held financially
responsible for any damage to
their rooms and furnishings.
Renovation is now being done
in Nittany 27, 23 and 41. Nittany
23 residents had also been asked
to evacuate the hall before the
spring recess. Nittany 41 is not
being occupied by permanent stu
dents.

during the spring recess. Three
of the students were admitted
to Centre County Hospital in
Bellefonte.
A car driven by William Pooler,
senior in geology and mineralogy
from Madera, overturned April

north of State College.
State Police said Pooler tried
to make a turn at an intersection.

and $2OO to the other car.
Segregation
Non-Violent Demonstrations Spread
(This is the first olf a series of articles on the mushrooming non-violent anti-segregation move
ments now acquiring momentum on Northern and Southern campuses.)
The timetable for complete desegregation of public facilities in the South is being speed
ed up by inter-racial, non-violent student demonstrations on college campuses from Talla
hassee, Fla., to New Haven, Conn.
In a shift from the legal arena to the market square, pickets, “sit-ins” and marchers have
brought a long-time struggle for
Negro equality to the national
spotlight,
In most of the South, the
student demonstrations have
taken place in privately owned
lunchrooms and at the snack
bars of five and ten cent stores.
Students trained in non-violent
techniques and often armed
with Bibles have installed
themselves at lunch counters
which traditionally would not
serve Negroes.
The New York Post of March
31 carried a report from one of
the “sit-ins” concerning the re
action of some of the white citi
zens who viewed the proceedings.

All of the participants have
taken an oath of non-violence

But the 85-year-old President,
elected to a fourth 4-year term
in March, stressed that the time
to fix the blame for the uprisings
will not come until "the necessity
for martial law no longer exists.’'
The last major group of demon
strators in the Seoul area, an anti
government band of several hun
dred young people armed with a
few carbines, was broken up. Sev
eral of its members were shot in
exchanges with police in the cap
ital’s northeast outskirts, site of
Seoul’s universities.
Lt. Gen. Song Yo-chan, army
chief of staff who is in charge of
martial law, said leaders of the
band were arrested.
, Seoul was like a city recover
ing from a battle. Many hundreds
of wounded lay in hospitals, vic
tims of riots sparked by about
30,000 students and citizens Tues
day when they demonstrated
against the government.
The riots climaxed weeks of
unrest and demonstrations pro
testing the elections in which
Rhee's running male swamped
the opposition Democratic can
didate for vice president.
The opposition claims Rhee’s
Liberal party rigged the election
and used harsh pressures io in
sure success of the Liberal vice
presidential nominee.
While weeping women claimed
their dead, the official count of
bodies in Seoul totaled 92. Pusan,
one of the other cities under mar
tial law, had 11. At least 50 in
hospitals were in critical condi
tion.
This cleanup was relatively re
strained, in contrast to what hap
pened Tuesday, when police had
Ipoured volley after volley of live
|fire point blank into demonstra
itors in downtown Seoul. Appar
ently the army’s martial law pol
icy was to shoot in earnest only
