The new system would allow two practicum hours per week for each language as compared to the present lack of scheduled lab oratory work. A proposal that suggested lan guage courses with numbers 4 and 40 be dropped was also passed. This was done because students will be able to complete their 12 credit liberal arts language re quirement with only three courses under the new credit system. This system would go into effect progressively beginning with the fall 1961 term. That is, 4-credit French 1 would be started in the fall term, 4-credit French 2 in the winter term. etc. A report was given by the com mittee on study abroad which advocated an elective program whereby students with little or no language background as well as advanced students would be able to study at a foreign uni-, versity. The beginners would attend classes conducted in English by a foreign professor. They would also be given the opportunity to, study the language of the coun-' try in which they were staying. The faculty approved corn mittee•recommendations that in vestigation be continued on the foreign study program. in other business, Dale H. Huse: molter, assistant professor of mathematics, was named research scholar. He will be given free time this semester in order to conduct research.

Cabinet accepted this report early in the year. In December, however, it approved the forma tion of a committee to make a factual study of the problems involved in selling up this store. A Cabinet spokesman said "we want to get facts concerning a bookstore which no one who has talked about such things has up to now." At this time the University was conferring with downtown bookstores in an effort to alle viate some of the problems stu dents had when trying to buy books. The Cabinet report was due in February of 1956, out didn't reach that body until May 17, 1956, the last meeting of the year.

In corresponding with other schools who had student run stores, the committee said these schools sold their books at retail price and advised the committee lgainst such a store. The report treated the thought of a student "co.op" store in the same negative man ner. They said "students would. n't patronize it unless it was in the main shopping area," and added that "it is almost impos sible to obtain and operate an other bookstore in State College due to zoning laws."

This would require pay ing much additional help. . ng of the Panhellenic Council Colder Weather Should Return To Local Area Yesterday was the mildest day in more than a month, The mer cury -touched 45 degrees during mid-afternoon at the University weather station.

Obviously referring to the UN Command—now totaling about 18,000 men—and a Jew score white mercenaries in the armed forces of secessionist Katanga Province, the Soviet government demanded that they clear out within a month. The' broadside followed a five hour mob attack on the Belgian Embassy, led by foleign students of the . expenses-paid People's Friendship University who 'called Lumumba a martyr of imperial ism. Hammarskjold, Belgium and two Congolese leaders Ka tanga's President lvloise Tshom be and the Congo national army chief, Maj. Gen. Joseph Mobutu • —were denounced in a govern ment statement issued through the government paper Izvestia and Soviet news agency Tass. The statement called for dis missal of Hammarskjold "as an accessory to and organizer of the ,murder of the leading statesman of the Congo," UN censure of 'Belgium, ouster of all Belgians in the former Belgian colony, arrest of Tshombe and Mobutu as colo nialist agents in the killing, and disarmament of Katanga and Con- Igo government soldiers, The Soviet program would leave Congolese soldiers in the Stanleyville regime of Gizenga, a fantastic leftist and potential I political heir of Lumumba, as the only effective military force in the 900,000 square miles of the 8-month-old African na - lion. The Soviets have been gunning for liammarskjold since his neu trality policy became firmly evi dent last summer in the conduct . l of the UN Congo Command. Pre -Imier Khrushchev demanded in a speech before the UN General Assembly last Sept. 23 that the secretary-general be replaced by a three-man directorate repre senting East, West and neutral spheres. The attack on the Belgian Em lba,zsy, which wrecked. the front of the building, was a riotous demonstration of an ostensibly spontaneous type that occurs in Moscow only by police tolerance.
