The bill, sponsored by the Freshman Class Advisory Board, proposes that SGA appoint a committee of six students plus an ex-officio member from the Health Center to study the situ ation. According to John Davis, a_rep resentative of the advisory board, the plan has been approved by the dean of men and the dean of women with the stiuplation that it must be a student or ganized and operated committee. According to Davis, the pro posed committee 'will be small to aid operating ease. Other com mittees which have tried to ana lyze the situation, he said, have run into difficulty because they were too large.- The six students who are se lected will be given a complete tour of the health center facili ties, said Davis. The ex-officio member of the committee, he added, will be Dr. Herber R. Glenn, director of the Ritenour Health Center, or someone ap pointed by him.

The rest of the money will be used to fill ba sic needs fn the Pattee Library on campus, McComb said. Fifty per cent of the grant will be allotted on a prelimin ary basis to the library's lib eral arts department for the developthent of holdings in that field, the University Library Advisory Board decided at a meeting Tuesday. This decision was made in view 'ef the special needs of the College of Liberal Arts, McComb said. We don't expect to allocate this fund in the way other library funds are used, McComb said. In stead it will be used to correct the library's basic weaknesses in the various departments. He explained that an equal al lotment to each of the library's ! departments would not be as ef fective as the planned system to distribute the sum according to 'need. He said that there were no de tailed allocation plans as yet. Certain pending items will be taken care of immediately and other programs will be reviewed at another Advisory Board meeting in December. According to McComb, the li brary's financial situation is fine for this year due to the grant. It won't solve the whole problem, he said, but it will give a good start.

Joseph Clark (D.-Pa.), is whether the United States needs to wake from the lethargy which has gripped it for the last eight years. Clark, speaking at a rally sponsored by the Young Democrats yesterday, described the Republicans as "a party frozen in the ice of his own convictions." They are convinced, he said, that those things which they have not done are not worth doing. These things. he continued, in clude action to support federal aid for education, relief for de pressed areas (EisenhoWer re cently vetoed the depressed areas bill), extension of the $1.25 mini mum wage law to more categories and an end to the bankers' policy of high interest and tight money.

In its explanation, the State Department did not mention the Castro government's seizure of more than a billion dollars of American business interests in Cuba. But certainly that was in the general picture leading to today'l action. • • The official _embargo will make it easier for Americans not to go through with long-term commit- Intents to ship goods to Cuba. American shipments to Cuba, which have been running at the rate of $3OO million a year, are I expected to be cut by about two-thirds by the move. I The United States is Cuba's ;biggest supplier and in the past has provided about 75 per cent of he country's imports. The economic impact of the embargo, measured in dollars, will go well beyond that of last summer's closedown on U.S. pur chases of Cuban sugar. However, the Castro govern ment will not be hit as hard as it might have 'been. Dispatches from Havana said the Cuban rulers, who have been anticipating what happened yesterday, have been rushing in .shiploads of U.S. automobile parts such as spark plugs, fuel pumps and carburetors, plus oil refin ery replacements and sugar mill supplies.
