Carpenter, director of the D'iNision of Academic Research and Services, said yesterday. Carpenter said that because Eidophor is financially impractical and more scheduling difficultiei and technical prob lems .would have to be worked out, he would be fiery interested in knowing reactions to it before more events are arranged. According to reports, Carpen ter said, Schwab was filled to capacity (1200) last Saturday night • when Eidopher was used to, broadcast the Army-State wrestling match and the Pur due-State basketball game. He 'said he realized- most at tendants were the overflow crowd from Rec Hall, but he wondered whether any of them went spe cifically to see Eidopher. Possibly opinions could be 'known through The Daily Colle gian taking a poll or by letters to the editor, he suggested. Presently, the following events have been scheduled to be shown via Eidopher: Jan. 7, wrestling with Lehigh and bas ketball with Carnegie Tech: Feb. 11, gymnastics with Army and basketball with Fitt; Feb. 18, gymnastics with Pitt; and Feb. 25, wrestling with Pitt. Carpenter said the administra tion is also considering showing concerts but sound pickup is a problem, since there is reverber ation in transmitting it from Rec Hall to Schwab. Financially, Eidopher is im practical because the equipment itself costs $25,000 and moving the cameras to Rec Hall costs $2OO to $3OO. This problem may be alleviated by charging an admission fee of possibly $1 to see events such as the gym meet, he said. Student opinion on whether Eidopher should be used more can also determine whether they will be willing to pay admission, he said.

The court did not set a date for its hearing on the case. The request for the hearing came from Dennis Eisman, Campus party chairman. The $7OO bill was originally brought to SGA Assembly by Walter Darran (U-Sr.) last month when it was passed. Neither Dar ran nor Eisman was present at the court's meeting last night. Eisman said in his penciled statement to the court that "taking away the power of controlling the campaign from political parties is a violation of the constitution under the precedent set by the ruling of the 'Umstead bill." Eisman's statement continued that "giving the Elections Com mission the power for all com mercial publicity is in direct interference with the scope of political parties." The "Umsiead bill" was de- the President's desk in the oval executive office, Eisenhower and Kennedy talked alone for an hour and 50 minutes about domestic and. international af fairs.

Barretta, close friends sai he would like to join the move ment, but added that he would have to wear a plain white button since there were none of the blue and white ones left, Kenworthy said. Walker joking replied that he wasn't sure that white was the appropriate color and perhaps black would be more descriptive, according to Kenworthy. The next day a tray of vari colored buttons appeared in Walker's office. Black, white and all shades of gray buttons ap peared in the assortment. The stipled shade Walker chose vas in keeping with, the various shadings of good and bad charac teristics which different people apply to the president, Kenworthy implied. 44.1.4-4.44444- 0 e+.'04•+.144.4.+•:44-4.. dared unconstitutional last month and would have given the Majority and minority leaders on SGA Assembly the chairmanships of their respec tive parties. The grounds for this declara rtion were that the bill conflicted with article 4, section 3e of the SGA constitution, which stipulates that "the Assembly shall not pass legislation which is primarily within the scope of another stu dent organization except upon request by said organization." The report of the decision on 'the "Umstead bill" said that if the ,constitutionality of the by laws was challenged, they would be declared ' unconstitutional.

The President and the presi dent-elect reaffirmed the position that the United States does not covet other peoples' territory and does not seek to dominate them.
