No. 76 Frekhnan to Sit on SC A; Court Asks Assembly To Make Own Decisions SGA Supreme Court closed its ears to Assembly’s con tention that Ralph Freidman should not sit on Assembly when they refused to hear the Freidman case last night. The court decided that Freidman was a "duly sworn in member of assembly” and therefore "if he is removed it has Symphony To Feature Steinberg William Steinberg, now in his tenth year of conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Or chestra, will present the next concert of the University Artist Series at 8 p.m. Sunday in Recreation Hall. Ticket distribution and sales will continue today at the Hetz el Union desk. Steinberg, born in Cologne, Germany, began his musical ca reer at a very early age and showed much promise of the ge nius which he has developed to day. At the age of 10 Steinberg was a recognized violinist; at IS a noted pianist and by 19, he had become a conductor of wide ac claim when he won the coveted Wollner Prize for conducting. After appearing in the world famous opera houses of Prague, Frankfurt, Berlin’ and Cologne, Steinberg went to Palestine where he founded the present Is rael Philharmonic. The first guest conductor of that orchestra, Arturo Toscanini, became the main influence in Steinberg’s life. Toscanini was so impressed by Steinberg’s conducting that he in vited him to come to America to conduct the newly formed NBC Symphony. After leaving the NBC or chestra, Steinberg moved to the Buffalo Philharmonic and in 1952 he was called to take oyer the Pittsburgh Symphony Or chestra. In 1958 Steinberg accepted an identical post with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and as tonished the world by becoming the music director of two major orchestras on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Governor's Ed Committee College Systems Considered By JOHN BLACK Edi tor t (Second in a series of articles : . based -on an interview with Sen. Jo Hays.) The community and not the state will probably be the key to the Governor’s Committee’s recommendations on improve ment of higher education faci lities in Pennsylvania, accord ing to Sen. Jo Hays (D.-Cen tre), a member of the commit tee. The committee considered sev eral proposals for a system of junior .colleges or centers across the state, but the recommenda tions will probably evolve in the form of community colleges. The University called afien- ®lp latly (EtiUcgt By MEG TEICHHOLTZ to be through due process of the Assembly as cited in the Consti tution” (Article 5, section 5 a, b, c, d). This case was brought before the court by Freidman on a rec comendation from Richard Haber, SGA president, after it was found that seven people were filling six sophomore Assembly seats after fall elections. It was discovered that one of these terms expired with the fall elections, which meant that an extra sophomore was silting on Assembly. Freidman had the least num ber of votes of the sophomores elected and an emergency meet ing of two SGA executives and the head of the elections commis sion decided that he would there fore have to drop off Assembly. Freidman appeared at the next meeting of SGA, however, and stated that because he was duly sworn in he had a right to mem bership. Dennis Eisman, chairman of Freidman’s party backed his representative, and from the floor termed the decision of the com mittee "unconstitutional.” It was at this point that Freid man was given the right to sit on Assembly until the case was heard by the court. The court gave Assembly two procedural recommendations: It could either accept Freidman’s membership or it could impeach him. However, the court also proce durially recommended that the elections commission review their method of nominations for the past elections as to the number of people nominated from each party. This last recommendation grew out of the fact that the SGA Con stitution states the sophomores fill six seats on Assembly and that no more than four candidates can be nominated from each party. Five people were nominated from each party in the fall elections. Collegian Open House The Daily Collegian will hold open house at 7 tonight in fhe basement of Carnegie for all students interested in joining the paper's news or photog raphy staffs. Refreshments will be served. lion to its system of common ' wealth campuses and centers which covet ihe slate and of fered to expand fhis sysfem to handle the state's needs if the funds were supplied. Various systems linking the state colleges (formerly state teachers’ colleges) or combining them with the University were proposed. Systems of state junior colleges were also considered. But the whole thing will prob ably drop into the laps of the individual communities. Reoroanialion of the primary and secondary education in the state will begin in the com munity. The state in general seeks more consolidation of small school dis tricts, particularly to eliminate in equities in facilities where one district will be wealthy while an adjoining district is poor. Institutions of learning above FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE PA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 8. 1961 JFK Asks Boost In Minimum Wage WASHINGTON (/P).—President Kennedy yesterday proposed a three-step increase in the minimum wage from $1 to $1.25 an hour and the extension of coverage to 4.3 million additional workers. The Collegian Beauty Review Staff has been preparing all week for the selection of the Univer sity’s entrant in the 'Campus Cov er Girl” contest, according to John Black, Chief Connoisseur. The contest is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Press Roto Magaine, and coeds from Ohio, West Vir ginia and Pennsylvania will be competing for the title. Five finalists will be selected by judges in Pittsburgh from photo graphs sent by colleges and uni versities in the three-state area, and the Cover Girl will be selected from these. The male editors of Collegian have been asked to choose the University’s entrant. Photographs of the five finalists will appear in the Press Roto, and the winner will appear on the Roto cover and be featured in an accompanying story. Photographs of those wishing to compete for this University’s entrant, must be turned in to the Collegian office in the basement of Carnegie no later than noon tomorrow. They must be 5x7 or Bxlo glossy or mat finished por traits. Five finalists will be selected by the Review Staff from their photographs, and the University’s representative will be announced after the finalists have been per sonally interviewed on Friday by the staff. College Board Tests To Be Given March 10 Students who were unable to take the Feb. 4 College Board Scholastic Requirement tests at State College High School be cause of snow will be. able to take them on March 10. No Febru ary make up test will be given. Those interested must submit to Princeton their February tickets and their March tickets or author ization. the secondary level will be the capstone to ’ each community’s system. The committee will probably recommend that communities, with state aid, maintain a college or junior college just as they maintain grade schools and high schools. Communities may wani fo help support existing colleges in their area or start new ones. They may want to concentrate on just the first two years of baccalaureate education and work out an arrangement with one of the state’s major universities, such as Penn State, Pitt, Penn or Tem ple, to provide the last two years for college students from their areas. In any event the initiative and impetus for providing college fa cilities for the 300,000 college students expected in 1970 will rest with the community. A bill containing Kennedy Cover Girls Must Submit Photos Soon ’s proposals was promptly introduced in the House, and hear- ings were set to begin Feb. 17. Similar speedy action was prom ised in the Senate. The lines thus were drawn for a remaich over minimum wags legislation defeated in Congress last year when Kennedy backed substantially the same bill as a senator and as the Democratic nominee for president. The administration's main pro posals, embodied in a bill intro duced by Rep. James Roosevelt, (D.-Calif.), call for: •An increase in the minimum wage from $1 to $1.15 during the first year, to $1.20 during the sec ond year, and $1.25 thereafter for employes now covered by the wage-hour act. • A minimum of $1 an hour for newly covered workers dur ing the-first year, $1.05 the sec ond year. $1.15 the third year, and $1.25 thereafter. . •Overtime for newly covered workers on the basis of a 44-hour work week the second year, 42 hours the third year and 40 hours thereafter. No overtime would have to be paid the first year. ■ •Extension of coverage to em ployes of service or retail estab lishments grossing at least $1 mil lion a year, gasoline service sta tions grossing $250,000 a year, and streetcar or bus lines regardless of their sales volume. The bill does not propose any change in the law's exemption of employes of motion picture the aters. hotels, motels and restau rants. The Senate last year passed a bill like the one now being of fered, but it failed of passage in the House by an eight-vote mar gin. The House then went on to pass a greatly curtailed substitute backed by Republicans and South ern Democrats. All efforts to reach a compro mise between the House and Sen ate versions rfailed, and the bill died.' —Collegian Photo by Kd Jaffe and Dan Mtfaom TRYING OUT FOR THE NEXT Thespian show, “Wonderful Town” are Paul Krow, sophomore in business adminstration from Mc- Keesport; Janet Frye, freshman in liberal arts from Lauglilin town; and Sandra Hart, junior in arts from Clarion.

The quota, set by Abrams before the agency opened this semester, is an esti imate of how many books the ÜBA can handle. c Hours for selling books are 9 la.m. to 5 p.m, daily nnd 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday. Abrams estimated yesterday that the ÜBA had taken in a total of $45,000 in book sales,' the largest volume of business in the agency's history. ! Approximately 5000 students passed through the Hetzel Union eardroom, which is the ÜBA head quarters, today, slightly less than the crowd that fought for books yesterday. Abrams said that in spile of the demand for books in lhe past few days, the ÜBA still has texts available tor most courses., Business in the Book Exchange has also been heavy. Over 75,000 notebooks had been sold as of yesterday, and a new shipment has been received to meet future demands, Abrams said.
