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

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.

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.

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.
