Oilr Bang VOL. 61, No. 8 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24. 1960 FIVE CENTS All-University Slightly from The student body made a better academic showing last spring in spite of Whipples Dam as the semester All-University average rose from last fall's 2.43 to a 2.49. Alpha Epsilon Phi moved up 20 places to a 2.98 and Alpha Zeta retained its average at 2.94 to capture top honors among the fraternity-sorority averages for the spring semester. Customs To Remain On Campus Contrary to the popular suggestion of certain prom inently placed notices about campus, CUSTOMS IS NOT OVER! It seems that these posters, causing unwarranted glee from the freshmen and unduly up setting upperclassmen, are being circulated by unauthorized par ties. Therefore the Freshman Cus toms Board wishes to repeat, "Customs is NOT over." The Board will do its utmost to find the culprits and judge them according to the seriousness of their crime. The Customs Board is also anxious for any informa tion leading to the whereabouts of those lofty individuals who have been inpersonating Board members and, by calling fresh men, accusing them of violations and asking that they report for hearings. The violators who have already appeared before the Board are: Joan Schmidt, Trudy Cader, James Crawford, Jay Feldman, Dennis Wagner, Ralph Moffet, James Dunne, Gary Shirgler, Do lores Dutzman, Peter Supp, Bar ry Khisley, Charles Cofferell. Lou St ralka, Donald Brant, Louis Kusher, Carol Rielly, Pris cila Staunton, Arlene Beebout, Joanne Hoffman, Mark Schwartz, John Tinker, Eddie Landis, Thom as Fredericks, Philip Holmes, Richard Garuer, Stephen Brent, Jerry Beckley, David Kapoport. William Rabarick, William De lullo, Joseph Borda, Robert Khu block, Lorna Macintre and Meryl Bernstein. PUSH HARDER—At least that's what these freshman coeds were told during Kustoms Khaos Day. However, the Obelisk did not oblige and remained in an upright position. 4.

(,P)—Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, joining a mighty battle of personal diplomacy with President Eisenhower, denounced the U.S. leader yes terday as risking World War 111 and urged that the United Nations be moved out of the United States. Khrushchev threw a handful of shock proposals at the U.N. Gen eral Assembly's historic 16th ses sion. •He suggested that the assem biy rip its operating machinery apart, dispensing with the secre tary-general. *He proposed immediate in dependenc'e for all colonial areas in the world. •He presented a three-stage package, most of it the old one 'in new wrappings purporting to look toward complete world dis tarmament. •The Soviet premier repeat ed his bid for a new summit con iference with Britain, France and the United States in "a few months," presumably after Presi 'dent Eisenhower leaves office. U.S. Secretary of State Chris tian A. Herter quickly labeled the Khrushchev blasts a "real declar ation of war against the struc ture, personnel and location of the U.N." Herter told a luncheon meeting of •the Foreign Press As sociation he would ask the Gen eral Assembly to give a strong, new veto of confidence to the sec retary-general. Khrushchev's flurry of pro posals appeared to leave many of the delegates bewildered. and some were concerned that ' he had set back rather than ad vanced.the cause of easing ten sions. There was little conciliatory in iKhrushchev's attack •on Presi dent Eisenhower, based on • the May 1 incident on the U 2 spy (plane. He said that since Eisen- . ihower interpreted that incident as "state policy," the United States could at any moment plunge mankind into a third world war." He demanded wide open dis cussion of the U 2 incident and "aggressive" American actions in this session of the assembly. Secretary-General Dag Ham marskjold, under severe Soviet attack during the Congo crisis in' which Moscow suffered a severe diplomatic , reverse listened im- I passively as Khrushchev demand ed that the secretary-generalship' be eliminated. Risks War, UN Shake-up Expansion Plan May Be Revised A revision in the much talked about expansion of the University's facilities- may be forthcoming in January, C. S. Wyand, vice president for de velopment, said 'yesterday. "Things are very fluid right now, and the revisions in rede velopment are dependent on the changes which may be made in the set up of the academic year," he added. Wyand was referring to the proposed four term plan which will be brought before the exec utive. committee of the board of Trustees on Sept. 30 which would make the facilities of the main campus operate on a full 12- month basis. "I have three task forces at work now," Wyand said. "One is working on resident education, one on continuing education and on on research. When these com mittees submit their reports three more task forces will be appoint ed to study the needs presNited 'by the first reports, .as regards manpower, facilities and money. The four term plan 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 semsters. The original Long-Range De velopment Studies, announced by Wyand's committee in November, 1958, outlined the University's fu ture over the next 12 years. They were the product of 11 !months of intensive wprk by top members of the faculty and ad ministration. At that time Wyand emphasized that the studies had been accepted "for planning pur poses" by the Board of Trustees.
