On Eidophor System
Eidophor may be used to broadcast the Soviet-U.S.
.gym
nastics meet to be held here Jan. 14—if students create a
demand for it, Dr. Clarence R. 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.
Cooler Weather
Expected Today
Cold air, which now covers the
western two-thirds of Nor t h
America, will begin to take con
trol of Pennsylvania's weather
pattern today.
The possibility of a storm de
veloping in Texas poses the threat
of the first substantial snow storm
of the season later this week.
Today will be mostly cloudy
and cooler with some occasional
light rain ending during the
morning. The high temperature
should be about 50 degrees.
Partly cloudy and colder weath
er is expected tonight with the
mercury dipping to 28 by dawn.
Snow flurries, windy and cold
er weather is expected tomorrow.

$7OO Bill Contested;
Court to Hear Case
The members of SGA supreme court decided last night
to consider the constitutionality of a controversial bill allot
ting $7OO of SGA funds to the Elections commission for
handling political campaigns.
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.
Their discussions centered par
ticularly on the troublesome im
balance of U.S. foreign payments
and its threat to the stability of
the American dollar.
Later Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter, Secretary of the
Treasury Robert B. Anderson and
Secretary of Defense Thomas S.
Gates filled in Kennedy on the
details of American problems in
a sorely troubled world.

Police have no clues as to the whereabouts of a freshmen boy who has been missing

The boy was identified as Kenneth Barretta, freshman in electrical engineering from

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

shadings of good and bad charac

the Majority and minority
leaders on SGA Assembly the
chairmanships of their respec

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

laws was challenged, they would
be declared ' unconstitutional.
The by-laws of the constitution
are directly opposed to section 3e
in that they set regulations for
party operation.

the world that the January
transition from a Republican to
a Democratic administration
will be an orderly one in which
historic American objectives
will remain unchanged.
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.
In talking with reporters after

problems the new administration
will face when it takes office, as
well as some which may require

dissatisfied with his present cur
riculum. He was reported missing
by friends when he did not come
back from a walk and was not in
his room about 9 last night when
he usually retires for the night.
A search of Mt. Nittany was
suspended last night because of
darkness after Campus Patrol
men; State Troopers and sev
eral students failed to come up
any clues to the hoy's location,
Coogan said. Hunters who were
questioned by the search party
in the area did not see any trace,

The search was concentrated in
the Mt. Nittany area because
friends of Berretta heard him say
he was going up the mountain,
Coogan said.
The hunt will be resumed in
the morning, according to po
lice at Rockview. All patrol cars
were looking for the lxip all

also have sent a teletype out on
the missing student, throughout
the state.

floor were without laces.

night friends in his hall reported
him missing to Louis Scalise, the
counselor of the house. Scalise
then reported the missing stu

Halls. Scalise kept waiting for
Berretta to return until 3 yester
day morning, Coogan said.
In the morning Smith contacted
Frank J. Simes, dean of men, who
alerted the Campus Patrol. About
noon, Simes called the student's
parents in Sharon who approved

reported. Tile parents arrived on
