Assembly
To Consider
Hospital Bill
A bill which calls for a com
mittee which will work to im
prove relations between the
student body and the Ritenour
Health-Center will be voted on
at the SGA meeting at 8 to
night in 203,Hetzel Union.
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.

STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 20. 1960
s the largest amount of money
the library has ever been granted,
McComb said.
$lO,OOO of the amount will be
distributed to the libraries at
Commonwealth Campuses and
University Centers. 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. However, he said that a,'
long range financial program
being developed, which if suc-I
cessful, will make our library I
rank with the best institutions inj
the country.

The 'main issue of the coming presidential campaign,
according to Sen. 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.

The strength of federal regulatory agencies and conflict

The Democratic platform on

The Republican platform,
therefore, favors improving con
flict-of-interest laws "to remove
deterrents to governmental

Some Democrats and Reptibli-

that the system over - emphaszes

The Republican plat form pro
poses that two positions be estab

(1)- national security and inter

The idea of a "fir:4 se, - !retary" for

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller prior to
