No. 59 SGA Elections Increase Size; Cause Blunder A surplus of six SGA Assemblymen, which became ap parent Thursday night when 48 people crowded around the eeting table meant for 42, was corrected yesterday in an •mergency meeting of several SGA executives. The decision of this meeting, which was chaired by James Ettelson, head of SGA Supreme Court, put six Assemblymen out of office and brought the bloated SGA back to its normal size. The complex series of events which brought about the blunder, began when six members of As sembly, elected in the fall of 1959, were forced to drop from the ranks last spring for academic t reasons (See Related Edit, Pare 3) Survey May Include Area Of 'Bias' Apparently conflicting ideas of what areas the proposed State College housing survey will include were clarified by Burgess Roy D. Anthony and Ronald R. Rumbaugh, execu, tive vice-president of the. Chamber of Commerce, last night. A general survey of the hotising situation in State College is planned by a local citizen's com mittee, several student groups, the burgess, and the Chamber of Commerce. Student groups such as the Di rect Action for Racial Equality (DARE) had been informed that the survey would include infor mation on the preferences of the owners regarding the race, re ligion, ethnic background and marital status of desired occu pants. However, a Centre Daily Times article reported the Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday as stressing "that the survey would not enter into a determination of any discrimination practices." When asked about the inclu sion of questions about discrimin ation practices, Burgess Anthony said that the statement in the article was "questionable." In order to satisfy the student groups it would seem that the survey will have to include at least a question on the type of students the owner wants as roomers, Anthony said. Rumbaugh clarified the posi tion of the Chamber of Commerce by explaining that the survey will be designed to investigate the geenral housing situation. housing and discrimination will probably be included to gain in formation to why the available facilities are not completely used. Turmoil Upsets Two African Nations LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo (iP) Terrified white women and children fled to sanctuary yes terday behind U.N. bayonets in Stanleyville, where rebel leaders threatened to behead Belgian hos tages The Stanleyville supporters of Patrice Lu mumba declared they would begin killing hostages unless the leftist ex-premier was released by the Congolese army. The U.N. Command in Leopoldville said its latest reports showed 75 whites so far had sought shelter in a building taken over as a refuge. A mass evacuation of Europeans by air from Stanleyville also is under study, the U.N. Com mand reported. About 1,000 whites, 80 per cent of them Belgians, live in Stanleyville. Two Ameri cans, 18 Britons and a number of Germans, French and Greeks are among the other whites there. • Gen. Ngashy Lyassu of Ethiopia, chief of staff of the U.N. forces, flew to Stanleyville to take charge of the rescue operation. The rebel dictatorship in Stanleyville threat ened to behead only Belgians, but it warned it would round up all whites unless Lumumba was freed. ol lr Bait J o . rgi s By MEG TEICHHOLTZ These members were replaced , in the spring election by six ' more Assemblyman, who were not told at the time that they were filling "interim" positions and that their terms, therefore, were to expire with the past week's election. When elections time came this fall, the "interim" members still had not been informed that their; offices were expiring. Neither the parties, the elections commission nor SGA itself seemed to ' realize before , the Thursday night *GA meeting • that, six of the positions filled in last week's election were already occupied by the "interim" members. Ettelson told the Collegian yesterday that it was the re-_ sponsibility of the Election's Commission chairman to inform last spring's political party heads that these people's terms expired this fall. According to Ettelson, commu nications broke down between the commission, headed by Robert Umstead, and the party chairmen, and the six Assemblymen were never informed. Umstead could not be reached for comment last night. The six Assemblymen whose terms ended yesterday are Mary Swed, (U-Soph); Mary Sue Her sey, (C-Soph); Lois Haegly, (U- Soph); George Henning, (C-Soph); Lynne Marvel, (C-Jr) and Ralph Freidman, (C-Jr). Friedman, who was the only one of the six who ran in this week's elections, was supposed to fill an "interim" term for How ard Creskoff (C-Soph), who left, Assembly for academic reasons this fall. It was not realized until yes terday, however, that Creskoff himself, had been elected last spring, only in an "interim" ca pacity. And this meant, of course, that no one should have been elected to fill his position.

ALGIERS (fP) Rebellious European Al gerians rioted angrily yesterday defying President Charles de Gaulle as he started touring this revolt torn land to drum up support for his plan of self determination for Algeria. At least 100 persons were hurt in a day of stone-throwing and head-cracking. About 400 were arrested. Here in Algiers, army tanks flattened barricades erected in an effort to re-create the per ilous siege of last Jhnuary. De Gaulle,' back on Algerian soil but far from violence here, scorned it, saying in the town of Ain Temouchent: "Shouts, noise that signi fies nothing." Nevertheless, there was fear that the demon strations were only a start. De Gaulle' tour has five days to go, and some Frenchmen openly expressed fear for his safety. Last January the Europeans at their barricade almost overthrew De Gaulle. They want Algeria to remain French territory. At the other end of the political spectrum, Moslem nationalists want to make . Algeria an independent nation. De Gaulle seems hopeful of obtaining a solution somewhere between the extremes. Affaiis before the Christmas va cation. They do not expect to alter any of the main ideas in it but only to define the duties and structure of the organization more precisely.

Murphy, assistant dean of men, yesterday for his advice on wording and rules. The council will legislate for and co-ordinate the activities of all men living in campus residence halls. Henning, West Halls president, said yesterday that, among other things, the council might set cam pus-wide regulations on quiet hours and wearing apparel for dining halls. The constitution calls for a council made up of the execu tive committees and one repre sentative-at-large from each of the area councils. The campus wide council will elect its own officers four weeks after the area council elections. It will have a chairman and vice-chair man. According to the constitution as it now stands, the council will also have a judicial and a social committee, made up of the judi cial and social chairmen of the area councils. The judicial board will recom mend rulings for the council to (Continued on page eight) tat i g he School of the Arts.

Approximately $480,000 of the total has been assigned to alteration projects elsewhere on campus. The building will be located north of (in back of) the Hel en Eakin Eisenhower Chapel in Hort Woods. The site was rec ommended by University and,. General State Authority archi.- 1- tech who said that' it was' "ideally suited for the kind of building proposed." They said that its. nearness to Pattee Library, Sparks; the Chapel and the first units of the College of Education complex further supported, this location choice. A Special Education Building was completed recently on the northwest corner of the same site. According to the architects, all Of the buildings in this part of campus will' house interrelated activities Although construction of the building will reduce the size of Hort Woods, approximately 25 acres will remain after the building has been completed. Present'sketches of the Arts and Humanities Building show that the main building will probably have two wings, each extending south toward the chapel. Howev er, preliminary plans are still on the drawing board and are ex pected to be completed by late February or early March. Final plans are not due until next December, after which bids will be requested by the GSA. Student Stealing, Altitudes Draw Senate's Concern The Senate Sub-Committee on Discipline has moved to strength en the University's policy on stealing. In a statement prepared for The Daily Collegian the Sub-Commit tee deplored the incidence of stealing by students and the re laxed attitude of offenders and other students toward this ac tivjty. , . Stealing constitutes . sufficient grounds for dismissal, the state ment continued: In explaining the Sub-Commit tee's action, Monroe Newman, chairman of the group, said that last spring a rash of thefts oc curred and the same pattern ap pears to be developing this se mester. The. report, drafted by New man, was approved by the deans of the nine colleges and by the of fices of the dean of men and the, dean of women. When asked to comment on the report that all students caught stealing would automatically be suspended, Newman said that this was "not exactly true" but that suspension would be likely for this offense. The person's whole behavior pattern and attitude, • aeademic ally, socially and personally, is taken into consideration before a decision is reached, Newman xplained.
