No. 79 Steinhauer, Walker Meet; Bookstore Plans Discussed Phillip Steinhauer, head of the SGA team that will investigate the need for a book store, met with President Eric A. Walker yesterday to “find out what the administration wants us to do.” Steinhauer said last night that the aim of his committee, not show facts, not opinions.” We want to find out the need for a Staff Elects Taylor For Roto Contest The lucky coed who is the University’s entrant in the Pittsburgh Press Campus Cov er Girl contest is pretty Miss Deborah Taylor, junior in ele mentary and kindergarten education from Pittsburgh. “The loveliness of the five ‘Cover Girl Finalists’ was just too much for the Beauty Review Staff,” according to John Black, chief connoisseur. The male edi tors who were judging the contest became deadlocked last night, and the female editors had to be called in to break the tie, he said. “The Review Staff has had such vast amorous experiences, that our efforts could not be coordi nated,” Black said. “We had to call in the less experienced, al though highly qualified, female editors to finish the job. They tended to be less subjective.” Five finalists will be chosen by Pittsburgh Press judges from pho tographs submitted by colleges and universities in the Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania areas. Photographs of the five will ap pear in the Press Roto and the winner will be featured on the cover and in the accompanying article. Parking Areas to Close Parking area 62, south of the tennis courts along Curtin Road, will be closed for parking this morning to' permit removal of snow which at present hinders movement of traffic. In the afternoon the part of Area 30 between Whitmore and Walker Laboratories will be closed for the same purpose. Steinberg to Conduct Orchestra Sunday The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has appeared at the University four times in recent years in 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1959. The group will perform again at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Rec reation Hall. Ticket distribution for the concert will continue today at the Hetzel Union desk. William Steinberg will conduct the Pittsburgh Orchestra in four selections: Symphony No. 29, in A Major, by Mozart; Symphony, "Mathis der Maler,” by Paul Hindemith; Symphony No. 3 in E-Flat Major (Rhenish), by Schu mann; and the Prelude to "Die Meistersinger,’’ by Wagner. The members of the Pitts burgh Symphony Orchestra are used to making tours such as this and therefore have devised an efficient system of rapid travel. They tour in three buses and the musicians are divided accord ing to personal traveling habits and preferences. There is one bus for the non-smoker and the man who prefers quiet reading or sleeping. The front two buses are shared by smokers, card players; and Styp saily STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 11. 1961 the downtown stores are lacking.” Strategy for this program will include conferences with mem bers of the Department of Statis tics, he said, to find the best meth od of gathering the facts needed.. "When all this is accom plished we will begin close work with Mr. Diem's office (Busi ness Administration) to find the best ways to assimilate these facts. He's to help us with plotting things like floor space." Steinhauer commented on pre vious bookstore reports saying “Ifs fine that other colleges do have bookstores but before this information will do us good we must evaluate their situation as compared to ours. Comparisons With a small college or one lo cated in a big city would not do much good. “After we determine the need and gather the facts,” he con tinued, “we can start planning how the store will operate.” Steinhauer noted that he will not be making any appoint ments to his committee before the early part of next week, but emphasized that he wants all the student cooperation he can gel. Theodore Simon, who compiled a report on the Bookstore and presented it to the Board of Trus tees, declined to say last night whether Steinhauer asked him to serve on the committee. He has offered his services to the new chairman. A University official yesterday said that “the Board of Trustees had not liked Simon’s original re port,” but declined to discuss the matter further. Simon had sub mitted this report to the Trustees without the endorsement of the SGA Assembly. Steinhauer’s appointment to head the committee was contest ed and finally approved at Thurs day night’s Assembly meeting, French Employment Soars PARIS (fP) Unemployment in France dropped 17 per cent in 1960, Labor Minister Paul Bacon reports, and in some industries such as iron and steel there is a shortage of qualified workers. Steinberg, conductor; John Ed wards, manager; and Sidney Cohen, personnel manager. A large moving van reaches the destination long before the buses and carries instruments, music, etc., so that preparation for the concert may be complet ed before the orchestra mem bers arrive. The orchestra has experienced many crises during their travels, but "in spite of all we never have missed a concert for any reason,” admits Cohen, the orchestra’s manager. Besides long road tours, the or chestra also participates in "run out-dates.” The hectic quality of the life of the large orchestra musician is ac curately stated by one of the Pitts burgh Orchestra’s men, “Run-out is right! That’s what we do, boy —run!’* FOR A BETTER PENN STATE yet appointed, will bookstore, to show i ■ 1, , J —Collegian Photo by Paul Lowe 'HONEST ABE' is pictured with one of the students aided by the Morrill Land Grant Act in a fresco painted by Henry Varnum Poor.

BX Gets Permanent Standing in '5O By MEG TEICHHOLTZ Fourth in a Series Th 6 road from provisional to permanent standing for the Book Exchange in 1949-50 was littered with student attacks on “the Administration’s in difference” and smaller crises that nearly blocked its final approval. In December of 1949, just one month before the BX provisional charter was to be reviewed by the Board of Trustees, the head of the BX board of control charged ad ministrative officials with "indif ference concerning expansion of the BX” at an All-Coycge Cab inet meeting. The board of control had been trying to obtain a larger and better location for the BX with- I France To Study Plane Incident PARIS (/P) —France yesterday promised full investigation of the touchy international incident in which a French jet fighter from Algiers fired tracer bullets across the nose of a be “to where Cold to Continue; Light Snow .Due Somewhat colder weather in vaded the local area yesterday ac companied by snow flurries and occasional gusty winds.

A maxi mum of 30 degrees is predicted. out success. In addition. Cab inet had unanimously requested that student time-tables be dis tributed through the BX to "ac quaint students with the BX." Permission was refused by Wil mer E. Kenworthy, executive as sistant to the president because this was “unethical use of author ity.” At the Cabinet meeting tlie BX head answered that he “could not understand how a system of dis tribution to acquaint students with a store that would save them money was unethical.” He said, although he was given every opportunity to present his views, the administration has pur sued a “hands off” attitude con cerning the BX. Finally in April of. 1950, after several months,of postponement, the Book Exchange won. per manent status and was put on a waiting list for a more central location than the Temporary i jmHiiinHniiiiiiiiiUMiNiitiniiiniHtx { J«sf I I Another Step j j —See Pago 4 j plane carrying President Leonid Brezhnev of the Soviet Union. Obviously taking the incident more seriously than French au thorities inAlgicrs, the Foreign Ministry called the interception off Algeria Thursday “a regret table incident. ’’ A diplomatic storm was blow ing, with the Soviets accusing the French of “international banditry." Officials in Morocco, where Brezhnev's plane landed, declared the French pianos could have touched off World War 111. In Moscow the official and mati in-the-streot reaction was.report ed even more hitter than that over the downing of the U 2 spy plane Of Francis Gary Powers. French officials in Algiers is sued a communique blaming the incident on what it cajiled the fail ure of the Soviet pilot of the four engine turboprop plane to follow proper flight procedure. The So viet Embassy in Rabat, Morocco, angrily replied that the Algiers statement was false. The Soviets said the plane was on a course previously outlined to Paris when three swift twin-jet Vultures appeared and one fired two streams of tracer bullets. French authorities in Algiers said the Soviets filed a flight plan running 87 miles north of Algeria and the plane 'was’ intereeptqd when it flew in far south of this route. The Soviet pilot insisted he was 80 miles north on the boun dary of the "zone of responsi bility'' patrolled by French planes and ships to halt gun running to the Algerian nation alist rebels. *A statement issued by the Al giers military last night said the Soviet plane contacted the Al giers aerial control when it was due north of Bone, at the eastern edge of Algeria. Six minutes later, the statement added, French ra dar noted that the Soviet plane was not following its flight plan. The statement said the Soviet craft was well within the French “zone of responsibility” and seemed headed even deeper. It placed the plane at only about 60 miles north of Algiers.

The meet will be telecast on Eidophor at 2:30 p.m. in Schwab. Doors will open at 2 p.m. Union Building in which it was located. In October of 1951 the BX at tempted to expand its sales range by selling class rings. The sale was swiftly suspended, again by Konworthy’s office, on (he grounds that “certain questions had been raised.” No. information was released on what these ques tions were, or who bad raised them. During November (here is also record in the Daily Collegian of a State College merchant complain ing about the sale. This set off an investigation on Ihe scope of the BX resulting in a review by tlie trustees of the scope of the BX. The sale of class rings was de nied the BX, but another request, to put Kenworthy on the HX Board of Control, was approved. The BX hoped to win more ad ministrative cooperation through this last move. FIVE CENTS
