Campaigning Bill
Tabled by SGA
Lack of Quorum Delays
Legislation for One Hour
After a confusing discussion of constitutional rules and
a vigorous debate over a proposed bill which will define the
limits of elections campaigning, SGA Assembly tabled the
bill. But it took them one hour before they could even begin
to legislate.
At 8:50 p.m. last night Assembly was called to order
Third Party
Charter In
Committee
The Liberal party's appli
cation for charter has been re
ceived and discussed by the
Senate Subcommittee on Or
ganization Control, but no rec
ommendation as fo its accep
tance has been reached, ac
cording to Dr. Alex Black,
chairman.
The subcommittee is still dis
cussing the application, and a
recommendation will probably be
made to the Senate Committee on
Student Affairs in about two
weeks, Black said. The party ,may
meet on campus as long as its
charter is being discussed, he
added.
Under Senate regulations, all
new organizations wishing to be
recognized by the University must
apply to the Senate Committee on
Student Affairs for a charter. The
committee then refers the appli
cation to its Subcommittee on Or
ganization and Control for a
recommendation.
According to Richard Snyder,
party chairman, the subcommit
tee suggested to party leaders
that they revise their member
ship clause to make it easier for
fraternity and sorority members
to join.
In its present constitution, the
party allows membership to in
dependents and any other stu
dent who has the approval of a
21-man steering committee.
The party will discuss the pro
posed revision at its next meet
ing, Snyder said.

U.S. Calls Cuban Ambassador Home
WASHINGTON (EP) The
United States yesterday re
called Ambassador Philip W.
Bonsai from Havana "for an
extended period of consulta
tion." It said, "No date has
ben fixed for his return to
Cuba."
The State Department an
nouncement; a day after the Unit
ed States slapped an embargo on
most U.S. exports to Cuba, under
lined that U.S.-Cuban relations
are at a new low.
Officials said they do not in
tend to break diplomatic rela
tions with the regime of lef !-
wing Prime Minister Fidel Cas
tro. But they left up in the air
whether Bonsai or someone else
might eventually be returned
to the Havana post.

starting time, 8 p.m., it was dis
covered that the necessary quo
rum was lacking. At least three
fourths of the eligible assembly
men must be present to consti
tute a legal assembly meeting.
Last night there were only 26
members, two short of a quorum.
Absent were Robert Clapp
(C.-Sr.). Judith Moore (U.-Sr.),
Herm Weber (C.-Sr. Class pres
ident), Constance Adler (U.-Sr.),
Marilee Grabill (U.-Sr.), David
Downes (C.-Soph.), Lois Haeg

While Assembly members wait
ed, telephone calls were made.
Miss Adler and Miss Trone ar
rived and at 8:50 p.m. there was
a quorum. Twenty-five minutes
'later, however, Miss Trone had
left and again a quorum was lack
,ing. However, the arrival of Miss
Grabill again constituted a quo
rum.
The bill concerning commercial
publicity was introduced by Wal
ter Darran (U.-Sr.).
Darran's bill proposed that
I the control of commercial pub
licity as well as funds used for
this publicity be given to the
SG?. Elections Committee. The
funds, a specified $7OO, would
be gotten from the SGA budget
and would eliminate the need
for candidates to engage large
expenses in order for publicity.
The bill, however, would be
unconstitutional since it would go
against one of SGA's by-laws
concerning the SGA elections.
Therefore, it would be neces
sary to amend the by-law by two
readings and a vote next week.
Last night, when the constitu
tion rules had been settled, As
sembly plunged into a debate.
Darren began by citing the
large amounts of money spent
by political parties for publicity
campaigns in the past. His bill
calls for publicity in the fields
of radio time and posters, these
fields to be supervised by the
Elections Committee.

tended by the No. 2 American
diplomat there, Minister-Court
selor Daniel M. Braddock.
U.S. sources said Bonsai, 57,
had reached the point in Havana
where his presence could do no
more good at this time. The ca
reer diplomat, personally popular
with many Latin Americans, has
been cold shouldered by Cuban
officials and repeatedly been in
sulted by Castro and his aides.
Bonsai, who first went to Ha
vana in February 1959, returned
to the United States for two
months early this year after an
especially virulent attack by
Castro. He finally went back to
Havana March 20 on the theory
that he could tap whatever op
portunities might remain for
bettering U.S.-Cuban relations

SGA May Change
Party Leadership
SGA Assembly heard the first reading last night of a
proposed amendment to the by-laws, which would make the
majority and minority leaders in the Assembly their respec
tive party chairmen.
The proposed amendmtne must be read a second time
and voted on next week.
If this amendment is passed as
it stands the majority and minor
ity leaders as party chairmen
would be elected only by those
party members sitting on Assem
bly.
Robert Umstead, co-chairman
of the Elections Commission
and sponsor of the bill, ex
plained that if a third party
were formed which did not
have members on Assembly
it could operate under a tempo
rary chairman.
A permanent chairman would
be elected as soon as the party
had a member or members on
Assembly.
Umstead said that he could see
three reasons for the proposed
ammendment. The first reason
was what he termed "unfortu
Arctic Air Brings
Unseasonable Cold
The change to much colder
weather yesterday seems to be
associated with a major change in
the overall weather pattern that
promises winter-like weather for
the next several days.
The arctic air that moved into
this area yesterday should main
tain unseasonably cold weather
through tomorrow.
Today will be mostly sunny
with some afternoon cloudiness
and continued cold. The high
reading should be near 60 de-
Igrees.
Clear and quite cold weather is
expected tonight with a hard
freeze likely. The minimum will
be near 28 degrees.
Partly cloudy skies and slight
ly warmer temperatures arc in
prospect for tomorrow with an
expected maximum of 52 degrees.
and could report to Washington
on Cuban affairs.
The State Department an
nouncement, issued by press offi
cer Joseph W. Reap, left open the
possibility Bonsai might never re
turn to Havana.
It is customary for career as
well as noncareer ambassadors to
submit their resignations to the
incoming administration, which
will take office in January. It will
be up to the new administration
to review the Cuban question and
determine new ambassadorial as
signments. Also, a two-year tour
for Bonsai would be up in Febru
ary.
Reap said it was just a coinci
dence that Bonsai's recall was
announced on the heels of the em
bargo on U.S. exports to Cuba, He
said the matter had been dis
cussed with the ambassador for
several weeks and the come-home
instruction had been given him
earlier this week.

sible party chairmen.
He then suggested that the
majority and minority leader
who have accepted the respon
sibility of actually working on
Assembly would be less likely
to conduct themselves in an im
proper manner.
Furthermore, Umstead said, if
' these leaders did anything, which
is questionable, they would be
available to the Assembly for im
-1 mediate questioning.
I Dennis Eiseman, Campus party
chairman, suggested that the pro
posed amendment be changed to
allow all party members to vote
for the majority and minority
leaders. Eiseman said that this,
then, would not limit their selec-
tion merely to the small percent.

,sembly.
Judith High (C.-Sr.) objected tol
this change on the grounds that!
the whole party could not ac
curately judge the qualifications
of an assemblyman •fore this job.
Constance Adler (U.-Sr.) said
that in winning the party's nomi
nation for Assembly these lead
ers would have what amounted
to a vote of confidence.
New Dorm Area
Named East Halls
The residence halls now being constructed opposite the
flower gardens and Wagner have been officially designated
as East Halls, Otto E. Mueller, director of. Housing, announced
yesterday.
East Halls will house
opened for occupancy next fall
and will consist of one four-story
building, three six-story build
ings and a dining hall 'biulding.
Each of the individual buildings
will eventually be given a name.
Mueller said the halls were
originally intended to house
only women, but will probably
be used for both men and wom
en. The final decision, however,
will depend upon the proportion
of men and women enrolling
for the 1961-62 year, he added.
The East Halls are designed
similarly, to the Pollock Halls.
Each of the buildings has a cen
tral corridor containing laundry
facilities with the student rooms
on either side.
The dining hall contains a
snack bar and three dining
rooms which together will be
able to feed an additional 500
students, Mueller said.
In one building there will he
two sorority suites. Each hall will
have rooms for hostesses and sen
ior resident counselors, and all

To set up a committee to
evaluate the social needs Of all
on-campus men and to present a
plan of organization to the ex

Preceding the vote on this mo
tion was a discussion of the pos
sibility of setting up a body of
AMR to govern all men in resi
dence and another organization
strictly for the purpose of coordi
nating all social and recreational
activities of the independent men.
The purpose of the proposed
AMR would be to have a gov- .
erning body which would cover
all men in residence, with no
differentiation between Inds.-
pendent and fraternity men. If
would allow pledges and frater
nity men living on campus to
sit on any governing bodies of
the organization.
Frank J. Simes, dean of men,
said the character of the resi
dence halls will probabry change
as a result of the four term plan.
It will be highly possible that
men will be living in the dormi
tories while they are pledging
and for sometime after they are
brotherized •in order to fulfill
housing contracts made each
term.
In other business the council
voted to amend an article of
the Constitution to allow fresh
men to serve as any officer of_
the Nittany Council. Previous
ly, there had been a proposal
to allow freshmen to serve in
all offices with the exception
of president, but this had been
voted down by the council.
