With Ike on Arms
At U.N. Assembly
NEW YORK (?P)—Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
indicated yesterday he wants to talk about disarmament with
President Eisenhower at the United Nations and thus in
effect, the coming U.N. General Assembly session into a
world summit meeting.

'Liberal Party'
May Initiate
3-Party System
The University may have a
three party system when student
elections are held next April.
Richard Snyder, head of the Pol
lisck Halls newly-formed steering
committee, hopes to add "The
Liberal Party" to the ranks of
the Campus and University par
ties.
Snyder said that he represents
a group of 20 to 30 students who
have decided to do something to
gain more representation in Stu
dent Government Association for
independents. He said that the
two existing parties only selected
candidates with large fraternity
backings, and that, to his knowl
edge, there was only one inde
pendent out of the 42 members of
SGA Assembly.
Snyder pointed out that inde
pendents make up 80 per cent of
the student body, but that their
student government representa
tion fell way below this percent
age. •
The proposed party, still in its
initial stages, will have to elect
temporary officers, appoint a
constitution committee, and have
the Senate Subcommittee on Stu
dent Affairs approve its constitu
tion before it receives a charter.
Snyder said that there seems to
be a great deal of student in
terest, and that perhaps when the
independents get a chance for
representation they will lose some
of their apathy.

STATE COLLEGE. PA., TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1960
yesterday, to a soggy and coldly
hostile New York welcome. Khru
shchev at once suggested Presi-
dent Eisenhower should attend
the Assembly sessions for "serious
negotiations" on disarmament.
Khrushchev, beginning his sec
ond stay in the United States with
a lecture to President Eisenhower,
urged the president to take "real
ly constructive" part in the as
sembly session and avoid making
just a "fancy speech."
The boos and catcalls mark
ing Khrushchev's arrival at a
decrepit East River pier had
hardly died away before the
Soviet leader launched an at
tack on Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter. He said he
found "very strange" Herter's
recent statement that Khru
shchev's mission in the United
States would be one of making
propaganda.
There was no other Ame'rican
comment on Khrushchev's arrival
remarks except that the spokes
man noted there was nothing un
expected or new in the Soviet
leader's talk. He said President
Eisenhower would make the U.S.
position perfectly clear in his
Thursday address to the assem
bly.
Khrushchev and his advisers
huddled at Soviet U.N. delega
tion headquarters on Park Ave

history-making session.

UNIVERSITY LIBRAR,
Walker
4-Term
President Eric A. Walker will disclose his decision as to
whether the University will substitute a year-round 4-term
system for the current semester plan on Sept. 30, according
to Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the president
in charge of student affairs.
The decision will be presented at a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Board of
Trustees. The new plan, which
was introduced at the 1960 Stu
dent Encampment, is being con
sidered for the 1961-62. school
year.
The new system would divide
the academic year into four terms,
each consisting of about ten
weeks. Three terms would be
equivalent to two of the present
15-week semesters.
A summer term would replace
the present summer sessions and
would equal the other three
terms fall, winter and spring.
Under this plan, it would be
possible for a student• to receive
a bachelor's degree in three
years if he so desired, Bernreu
ter explained.
Class periods would increase
from 50 minutes to 75 minutes.
Since the increase equalizes time
spent in class •per credit in both
systems, Bernreuter. said, this
would accommodate the trans
ferral of credits between the se
mester and term plans.
Classes. would still meet on al
ternate days, he said, with a new
20-minute interval between- each
class.
The average academic load
would be 10 to 13 credils each
term instead of 15 under the se
mester plan.
According to a trial calendar
presented at Encampment, next
fall term classes would begin
Oct. 2 and end Dec. 12 with a
one-day Thanksgiving vacation.
Winter term classes would be

Christmas vacation in the re
cess between terms, and and
