Library Deficient
In Several Areas
Any universary worthy of the name must have a dis
tinguished library," Ben Euwema, dean of the College of
Liberal Arts, said last Thursday in reference to a special
report on the library presented to the faculty of the college.
The report points out that the library is not adding to the
prestige of the University because
of the gaps and deficiencies in its
holdings.
Standard works of both major
and minor writers within all
fields are lacking, states the re
port. Specific text lacks are Web
er's "The City," Ward's "Dynam
ic Sociology," and Herber Spen
cer's "Social Statics."
The report also points out that
many of the standard editions in
the library are incomplete. The
"Shakespeare Variorum," th e
"Archives Diplomatiques," and
"Works of Vivaldi" are represen
tative examples.
The report further states that
severe limitations are caused
by gaps in reference materials.
In the field of Medieval Studies,
the library holds fewer than 35
per cent of the reference titles
listed as basic tools.
Gaps, in Russian holdings. and
deficiencies in music works also

Indiana Discusses ROTC Issue
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
Third of a Series
Go to your left, your right,
your left .. . and you are sure
to find someone arguing the
pros and cons of compulsory
ROTC. This time to your left,
geographically speaking, to
Indiana University.
There, too, ROTC has been a
main topic for discussion. The
Faculty Council has been inves
tigating the program in recent
months which prompted John
Dean, a reporter for the Indiana
Daily Student, to begin a series
'K' Refuses to Negotiate
Unless Ike Apologizes
PARIS (JP) The first summit conference in five years
floundered yesterday on Soviet bitterness over the U 2 Ameri
can spy plane incident.
President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier
chev traded charges with all the chill of
bleakest days.
Each accused the other of tor
pedoing the session.
There was only a glimmer of
hope that Eisenhower and
Khrushchev might be recon
ciled sufficiently to permit con
tinuance of the Big Four meet
ing, called to consider the big
issues menacing world peace.
At yesterday's first meeting of
the Big Four, Khrushchev tensely
refused to negotiate with the U.S.
chief executive unless the Presi
dent apologized for the flight of
the intelligence plane shot down
May 1 over the Soviet Union.
He withdrew his invitation to
Eisenhower to visit Moscow June
10, saying that the Russians might
not now be able "to receive the
President with proper cordiality."
Khrushchev called for a de
lay of six or eight months in
the Big Four session—a delay
which would convene it near or
beyond the end of Eisenhower's
second four-year term.
Eisenhower grimly accused
Khrushchev of coming to Paris
armed with an ultimatum and
with "the sole intention of sabo
taging this meeting, on which so
much of the hopes of the world
have rested."
He promised there would be no
more U.S. spy flights over the
Soviet Union, but announced he
came to Paris to seek agreements
to end all forms of espionage. He
said if it proved impossible to
'come to grips here with that and
other issues threatening world
peace, he planned to submit to
the United Nations soon a pro
posal for creation of a U.N. aerial
surveillance to detect preparation
for attack.
The President challenged the
Soviet premier to private two
way talks to save the conference.
But a source close to the
French delegation said, "It
would be extremely difficult
to see how the summit confer
ence could continue."
A meeting which was to have
dealt with tensions threatening
the very existence of civilization
never really got under way. In
deed, a Soviet spokesman denied
that the gathering of Khrushchev,
Eisenhower, President Charles de
Gaulle of France and Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan of Brit
ain was a summit meeting at all.
"The meeting never began," the
Soviet spokesman said.
No further sessions were sched
uled.
In an atmosphere of gloom un
relieved by the splendor of the
Elysee Palace, the site of the
gathering, the four leaders of the
world's great powers sat through

of five articles.
Dean explained that .basic
ROTC has been compulsory at In
diana University although the
University is not a land-grant
school and is not required to of
fer military instruction.
Dean said that the compulsory
program seemed to be based
mainly on the University's feel
ing of obligation during World
War I and on its "tradition as a
,compulsory ROTC school."
How do the students at In
diana feel? According to Dean,
the students have moved sev
eral times to abolish the system
but the Board-of Trustees has
not discussed the program since
it was first established.

political science, has been named
head of the Department of Poli
tical Science for the period July
1, 1960, to June 30, 1963.
He succeeds Dr. M.'Nelson Mc-
Geary who has held the post for
the past three years.
In announcing the appointment,
approved at the weekend meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees, President Eric
A. WalNeu explained that appoint
ments to the post rotate each three
years.
Atwater was named acting
head of the department on Feb.
1, 1956, filling out the three-year
(term of Dr. Tiarold F. Alderfer
who had resigned from the post
to accept a position with the Fed
eral government.

ulty in 1950 and prior to that was
associate professor of internation
al relations at American Univer
sity. He served as director of the
Foreign Service Training Pro
gram of the American Friends
Service Committee and was as
sistant professor of political sci
ence at Elmira College, Elmira,
N.Y.
On leave from the University
in 195'7-58, Atwater served as as
sociate director of the Quaker
Program at the United Nations, a
program conducted by the Ameri
can Friends Service Committee
of Philadelphia and the Friends
World Committee of London.
Showers Predicted
To Return Today
Warm weather is expected to
remain for a few days, but the
rain will be quick to return to
this area.
Today will be partly cloudy
and warm with showers and
thunderstorms probable by late
afternoon. The high temperature
will be near 80 degrees. -
Showers will persist into to
night, but will tend to dissipate
late tonight. The overnight mini
mum will be about 60 degrees.
Most cloudy and warm
weather is likely again tomorrow
with afternoon and evening show
ers and thunderstorms.
Dean was also concerned with
the feelings of other schools and
his investigation netted the fol
lowing results:
Cornell and University of Idaho
students are among many who
have protested compulsory ROTC.
As for the Big Ten schools,
Northwestern is the only one
without any ROTC program.
Of the other nine, only Min
nesota and Michigan have vol
untary ROTC, with Wisconsin
trying it as a two-year experi
ment starting next fall.
Returning to ROTC at Indiana,
Dean could draw no conclusions
as to what effect the policies of
other schools would have on his
