For Carnival
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
The Spring Week carnival
may not take place until April
29 but already plans are being,
made for it. Complete carni
val information and applica
tions for entry will be sent to
each fraternity and sorority
on Monday, Skip Berents, car
nival co-chairman, said Thurs
day.
Applications will also be avail
able at the Hetzel Union desk.
The applications must be re
turned with a $25 deposit by
March d, Berents said. Groups
should indicate which category
they wish to enter and should
give some details of how they in
tend to present their skits and
set up their booths, he said.
This year, Berents said, groups
may enter one category for the
float parade and a different cate
gory for the carnival.
"In the case of the carnival.
we want to avoid duplications
of presentation, so we may have
fo return a few skit ideas," he
said.
He added that a "first come,
first served" policy will probably
be followed and that any dupli
cations will be returned by March
10.
The $25 deposit will be returned
after the carnival to any group
which has taken in 1000 tickets
or more. The tickets will be
valued at 2 1 / 2 cents each. If a
group takes in fewer than 1000
tickets, it will receive the cor
responding amount.
This year more money may be
spent on Spring Week than was
permitted last year, Berents
said, Last spring, $75 could be
spent on materials and con
struction of floats, skits and
booths and $lO could be spent
for publicity.
This year, a total of $lOO may be
spent.
The point breakdown for 'he
carnival this year is as follows:
(1) 100 points (maximum) for or
iginality of skit, (2) 50 points for
adherence to theme, (3) 100 points
for good taste, and (4) 100 points
for taking in 1000 tickets.
SGA Hears Dennis
On Four-Term Plan
The -administration has no illusions that the four-term
plan effective this summer will be an overnight success,
Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academic research,
said Thursday night.
Dennis spoke to the SGA Assembly in an effort to gain
their assistance in encouraging
students to attend the University
this summer.
Contrary to popular belief, the
four-term plan is not a "quarter
system," Dennis said. Because
the credit arrangement of the
courses is different from the quer
ter system, the plan should be
called a "semester-credit" sys
tem, he said.
Dennis fold the Assembly that
in order to grasp the rationale
behind the University's adop
tion of the four-term plan, two
aspects—time and space—must
be considered.
"Time is a more precious com
modity than it was even a decade
ago," Dennis said.
The old style academic calen
dars were designed for time off
between semesters because the
society was agrarian (agricultural)
and students need to worky at
home, Dennis said.
Time has not moved rapidly

Merce Cunningham
To Perform Tonight
Merce Cunningham will display his "way out" capacity
for the modern dance at 8:30 tonight in Schwab.
Sixty additional student tickets have been made available
and may be obtained this morning at the Hetzel Union desk.
Cunningham, who will appear with his dance company; is
the leading figure in the so-called
avant. garde movement in the
contemporary dance.
From his first solo appear
ances in 1946, which led to
trans-continental tours, to his
recent appearance at the Phoe
nix Theater in New York, Cun
ningham-has earned the repu
tation as "the most consistently
daring experimenter in the
field,' according to Time maga
zine.
Rain Will Continue
Through Tomorrow
Today should be cloudy and
slightly cooler with occasional
rain. The high temperature read
ing will T,)e about 42 degrees.
Rain will continue tonight and
temperatures should become cold
er. The rain may change to snow
late tonight and then end tomor
row.
Tonight's low will be about 30
degrees. A maximum of 34 de
grees is predicted for tomorrow:
in universities, Dennis said, but
now they must accelerate in the
national as well as the indi
vidual interests.
"One way of insuring the Com
monwealth a return on its in
vestment in us is an effective use
of space," Dennis said.
lie cited the University's year
round use of its physical facilities
as its way of returning the tax
payers' investment.
After Dennis' talk, the As- -
sembly confronted him with a
barrage of questions.on the plan.
Sue Sherman, secretary-treas
urer, asked how class spirit under
the plan would be affected.
Dennis answered by . saying that
under the plan "new identifica
tions" and "new loyalties" will
probably be formed. There is a
possibility that there will be an
elimination of the sophomore
standing, Dennis explained.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
For the past few years, Cun
ningham's company has been
praised as one of the most bril- 1
liant in the field of modern dance
by critics viewing the company
on its extensive tours of the Unit
ed States.
Cunningham's most recent Eu
ropean experience was in the fall
of 1960 with his partner, Carolyn
Brown, and musicians John Cage
and David Tudor.
During this tour. the group
was invited to appear at the
International Festival of Con
temporary
Music in Venice and
the West Berlin Festival.
In every place where the Cun
ningham Company performed,
they created a furor.
Along with several controversial
elements of Cunningham's dance,
his work is mainly noted for its
clearness and brilliance,
These qualities led him to be
invited to choreograph "The Sea
sons" for the Ballet Society in
1946 with Cage and his designer
Isamu Noguchi.
In more recent work with his
company, Cunningham has had
the collaboration of painter
Robert Rauschenberg and sev
eral "advanced" composers such
as Morton Feldman, Christian -
Wolff and Conlon Nancarrow.
All of Cunningham's sketches
are about dancing and do not at
tempt to tell t o story even though
they ' may be classified as lyric,
comic or disturbing.
Ceiga to Present Recital
A varied program of organ mu
sic will be presented by George
E. Ceiga, associate professor of
music and University organist, in
a recital at 4 p.m. tomorrow in

Tickets Still
Remain For
Ray Charles
Thirty-five hundred tickets
have been sold for the Ray
Charles Concert to be held at
EI:00 p.m. tomorrow in Recrea
tion Hall. .
Tickets are still available at the
Hetzel Union desk on the ground
floor of the HUB at $1 for Jazz
Club members, and $1.75 for non
members.
According to Jazz Club presi
dent, Al Pollon,' "No one knows
what the program will be, nei
ther we, nor Charles' manager,
not even Charles himself. He may
do many of his well-known num
bers or he may do something en
tirely new. He will play what he
feels and what he thinks the aud
ience wants."
This is characteristic of
Charles. It is his firm convic
tion that music should express
people's true feelings. Accord
ing to Charles. with every bit
of music he writes or performs,
"I try to bring out my soul so
that • people can understand
what I am. I want people, to feel
my soul."
Although RaSr Charles is dedi
cated to his music, and is seldom
far from it in his thoughts, be
has a variety of other interests.
Like many things he does, even
his hobbies seem like amazing
feats in view of his blindness. He
is an expert domino player and
almost unbeatable at cards es
pecially at whist and dirty hearts.
University Deserves
Extra Funds— alder
(This is the fifth in a series of articles concerning President
Walker's request for increased state appropriations.) •
Penn State has earned the right to ask for greater public
support by serving the Commonwealth as no other institu-
Mon has for the last 100 years, according to President Eric A.
Walker.
The University has requested an additional $6 million or
a total of $23.1 million in state
appropriations for 1961-62. Gov
ernor David Lawrence recom
mended a standstill budget on
education of $17.1 million until
his cepcial committee presents its
final report.
The President listed six rea
sons why he helie',Tcd Penn State
should be accorded top priority
in the allocation of State funds for
higher education in 1961-62:
1 •The students now on campus
would provide the State with
4747 engineers, 1676 farmers and
agricultural scientists, 857 miner
al technologists, 4190 teachers,
1306 chemists and physicists, and
6851 business and professional
(people.

some of the provisions in the res
olution but that "It offers a ba

Valerian A. Zorin, the Soviet
delegate, declined to say whether
he would veto the resolution
an action that might bring an
emergency session of the General
Assembly on the Congo before the
regular session resumes in less
than three weeks.
Ceylon, Liberia and the United
Arab Republic submitted the res
olution, described by one African
delegate as having the support of
all Asian-Africans "from leftist

of force if needed to halt civil
war, the resolution. urges:

Any mention of Hammer

ed as certain to cause a Soviet
