For AWS Senate
The Association of Women Students Senate was caught off guard last night when
Margaret McPherson, president, announced that senate meetings would be suspended
indefinitely. •

year could have been done in a committee," Miss McPherso
Colder Weather
Predicted For
Today, Tonight
The thaw of the past few
days seems to be coming to an
end as winter, which is a sure
bet to become the worst in
weather history, prepares to
assault Pennsylvania with a
new barrage of snow and cold.
The basic weather pattern
across the Northern Hemisphere,
which has maintained a form that
favored mild temperatures in
snow-weary Pennsylvania during
the past week, is shifting back to
a form that will bring a return
of arctic air to this area.

Summer Term to Include
Classes on Sat. Morning
Summer sessions will no longer be a time when students
can escape Saturday morning classes.
This year's summer term will offer regularly scheduled
Saturday classes for the first
instituted.
Otherwise, the summer to
summer sessions, John E. Miller,
scheduling officer, said, Students'
who attend the ten week session,
will probably carry from 9 to 121
credits whereas students attend-1
ing the previous sessions carried'
a total of 12, credits in the cona-'
bined sessions lasting three, six'
and three weeks, Miller added.
• With the institution of 75
minute classes and one regis
tration period the term will
give students the opportunity to
earn the same amount of credits
in a shorter period of time.
A disadvantage of the program
cited by Miller was that students
who formerly took courses in se
quence would be unable to do
this since there will be only one
session.
"We are planning on about 5000
students attending this term, but
there is no way to determine the

regular meeting.
"I hereby-suspend senate until
all feel it is necessary to meet
again," she added.
"My conception of a legisla
tive body is one in which the
members come to present ideas
before the group, not one where
the president thinks up every
thing and asks people to do it,"
she said.
"The members don't take their
position and responsibility se
riously. I don't think they at
tempt to find out what the
women want," she said.
"All senate members are ca
pable and intelligent women, but
they are too busy to give it time,"
she added.
"Only one person, Pat Dyer,
chairman of the Central Judicial
Board, has called me this year
with any new ideas," she said.
Marianne Ellis, international
AWS representative, commented,
"The members seem to think if
they make a suggestion they will
be saddled with carrying it out."
Before the climax at last
last night's meeting, the senate
adopted its firSt constitution.
Prior to this year the group
functioned under the name Wom
en's Student Government Asso
ciation and under a different con
stitution.
The constitution was drafted
by a constitution committee, un
der Judith Hanigan, chairman.
"Even the constitution was nut
the work of the Eel .. .ate," Miss
McPherson commented. "Judy
drew it up and I read it; they
merely voted on it," she added.
The senate also approved the
appointments of Jean Demeyere
and Sandra Fosselman, senior
representatives at large, as co
chairmen of a committee on con
tinuing education for women.
ime since summer school was
m will be similar to previous
number that will actually attend
until after registration is corn
'plete," he added. This figure is
based on enrollment in the last
three sessions.
It is hoped that eventually
the summer term enrollment
and class schedule will be
equal to the other terms. Miller
named parents' unwillingness to
have their children away from
home all year round, the neces
sity of some students working
in the summer and industry's
adverse reaction to accepting
younger graduates as deterrent
factors in equalizing the sum
mer program to other academ
ic terms.
The timetable for the summer
term will be available around
March 15 with registration on
June 13 and 14. Summer classes
will begin on June 15.

Volunteers
Requested
For Survey
About 175 students are still
needed as interviewers to con
duct the Chamber of Com
merce housing survey sched
uled to begin next Tuesday.
Only 85 students attended a
meeting held last night to in
struct interviewers. At least 250
students are needed in order for
the survey to accomplish its goal
of canvassing the entire State
College area, according to Paul
Mazza, Chamber of Commerce
president.
When the idea for the - survey
was first conceived in December,
several student groups pledged
active support. However, Mazza
said that some of these groups
have failed to supply the promised
aid.
Another meeting will be held
at 7 tomorrow night in 121
Sparks for all students still
interested in participating in the
survey.
The purpose of the survey is
to determine the availability of
town housing for students and
faculty members.
The survey questionnaire was
drawn up by William G. Mather,
head of the Department of Soci
ology and Anthropology, and a
group of student leaders. Ques
tions deal with the type and
amount of space and facilities
available, as well as rental prefer
ence of pfoperty owners.

Stevenson Says USSR
Declares War On UN
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (11)) Dag .Hammarskjold
defiantly rejected yesterday a Soviet demand that he resign
as secretary-general. He said to do so would only bow to the
aim of the . Soviet Union to paralyze the United Nations at a
time of crisis.
Hammarskjold addressed
yesterday afternoon after Adlai
K Stevenson, spokesman for the
new U.S. administration, accused
the Soviet Union of virtually de
claring war on the 'United Nations
by proposing both an end to the
UN Congo operation, and the fir
ing of the UN's chief executive.
Stevenson's speech at a morn
ing session supporting Hammar
skjold was interrupted by the
wildest deinonstration in UN his
tory. At least' 21 persons were
I injured as American Negro dem
lonstrators—shouting for the slain
Congo leader Patrice Lumumba—
battled UN guards in the public
galleries and UN corridors.
Hammarskjold declared that
under normal circumstances he
would consider withdrawal of
confidence by a permanent
member of the Security Coun
cil as reason to resign.
But he added that the Soviet
Union had made clear it would
not accept appointment of a suc
cessor, but wanted to establish
instead a three-man executive as
demanded last fall by Premier
Khrushehev.
If no successor were named,
Hammarskjold added, "t h e
world would' have to bow to the
wish of the Soviet Union to
have this organization, on its
executive side, run by a trium
virate which could not function,
and which most definitely
would not provide the instru
ment for all the uncommitted
countries of v(hich they are in
need."
He said it is up to the uncom
mitted nations and not the Soviet
Union to say whether they want
him to stay on the job,
"Whatever the memberg of this
organization may decide on the
subject," he added, "will natural
ly be my law."
Affirmations of support for
Hammarskjold came from Tur
key, Nationalist China, France,
Chile and Britain—all council
member s. Their statements '
made it evident the Soviet pro
posal had no chance of council
approval.
Stevenson, the chief U.S. dele
gate to the United Nations,
warned the United States would,
not remain an idle bystander .
while the Congo deteriorates into
chaos and anarchy.
Valerian A. Zorin, Soviet dep
uty foreign minister, countered
immediately that the Kennedy ad
ministration apparently was fol
lowing the same policy that he
contended brought about the pres
ent situation in the Congo.
Zorin formally' proposed
,that
the council call for the firing of
Hammarskjold as secretary-gen
eral; discontinuation of the UN
operations in the Congo within
a month and withdrawal of all
troops; the disarming of all Con
go soldiers now led by anti-Com
imunist Congolese leaders.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (R)) 7 ---
Sabena Airlines authorities
speculated last night that
trouble in a being 707's con
