Language
Credit Value
To Change
The Liberal Arts faCulty
yesterday passed a proposal to
change the credit value of the
first three courses in the Ro
mance languages from three
to four.
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.

Fifth of a Series
By MEG TEICHHOLTZ
In 1955-56, All-University
Cabinet chased the bookstore

meetings, offices and reports
and then killed it because it
was "unfeasible:"
The establishment of a store
that would sell new texts ' had
been in the minds of students for
a long time, but in September,
1955, Stud ent Encampment
agreed that it was not needed.
The encampment report stat

books could be helped "provided

The' letter urged , the residents
to influence their legislators in
Harrisburg to support the full ap
propriation. Miss Harris, who
wrote and sent the letters, said
she plans to write to at least 30
newspapers in all areas of the
state, in hopes that the letters
will be published.
Liberal Party will also circu•
late a petition on campus to gel
student support for the cam
paign.
Party members will begin to
campaign on campus tomorrow
when they distribute tags reading
"Help Cut the Budget Cut

Harris said .that after the cam
paign has begun in the HUB, par
ty workers will begin to canvass
dormitories in an effort to get as
many student signatures as pos
sible.
The petition reads "We the
undersigned, realizing that the
University, in order to fulfill its
services to the commonwealtn
urgently needs the full budget
appropriation as asked for by
Dr. Walker, request that all
members of the state govern
ment iri Harrisburg support the
University in This matter."
Miss Harris said that the peti
tions will be sent to Harrisburg
before the appropriations bill
comes up. before the state legis

"Liberal Party feels that this is
one of the most important issues
facing students today," Miss Har
ris said in explaining why the par
, ty took up the campaign.
The appropriation bill is ex
pected to come up before the leg
islature late in March or early in
April. Walker's request called for

books and supplies.
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.

'will change the method by which
rushees fill out preferential cards
on the night of March 2. Under
the new system, explained by
'Marcia Hamm, Panhellenic Rush
IChairman. rushees living in Pol
lock Halls will fill out their
preferential cards in Pollock 1,
those living in South Halls will
e go to Lyong Hall and those living
in Atherton. Simmons, McElwain
and West Halls will go to the
!Hetzel Union Building.
It had been planned that all
rushees would go to the HUB aft
er the second coffee hour with
'their guides to fill out the•cards.
Miss Hamm said that the new
system will make it easier for
rushees to indicate their prefer
ences between 9:30 p.m., when
the second coffee hour ends.
and 11:30 p.m. when they must
be back in their residence halls.
Under this system, sorority'

cation or the capital to 'handle
new books.
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."
The report alsci said that "books
would - have to be sold at list
price, thus requiring a refund
program. This would require pay
ing much additional help. .

with the sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma who sold lollipops all over
campus to collect money for the fund.
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.
