Hays Lists Uses
For Building Funds
The $l6 million recommended by Gov. David L. Law
rence for new construction at the University will be used in
16 projects for more educational facilities, according to State
Senator Jo Hays from Centre County.
The 16 projects presented to the General Assembly
by the governor Monday in his
annual capital funds budget, Hays
said, will be built under General
State Authority financing in the
next two years.
This budget is separate from the
administration's proposed gener
al funds budget, which includes a
recommendation of $17.1 million
lot the University to be used for
contruction only.
Capital funds money is raised
by selling bonds for the various
projects. Funds allocated under
this budget are assigned to spe
cific projects and cannot be shift
ed by the institution receiving
them, Wilmer E..Kenworthy, ex
ecutive assistant to the president,
explained yesterday.
The projects were recommend
ed by the governor in the follow
ing order of priority:
•Life sciences building, first
unit, $2.1 million.
• Conversion and adaption. of

opus party.
The suggestion came after SGA
Assembly heard the first of three
readings of its revised constitu
tion, last week. This revision stip
ulated that nominations would be
made by the four individual resi
dence councils.
The proposed change would
have 'each party nominate one
person for each vacant seat. Only
presons from the residence area
of the nominee could vote in nom- 1
inating sessions.
Brandt said last night that he
drew up this and other sugges
tions after conferring with
Duane Alexander, chairman of
the reorganization committee.
He emphasized that reorganiza
tion "must be kept out of poli
tical factions if it is to be ef
fective."
Along with the new nominat
ing procedure would be a uniform
election code, specified point by
point in the by-laws.
Included in other suggestions
made .by Brandt and Whitney
would be the "freezing" of As
sembly this spring. Only SGA of
ficers and the Senior Class Presi
dent would be elected this semes
ter, with preliminary nominations
for Assembly also scheduled.
Final nominations and elec
tions would be held early in the
fall term. Dennis Eisman, chair
man of Campus party, said last
night, "this will take Assembly
off the hook and let it get its
reorganization started."
Brandt's proposal would also
allow nominations to be concluded
by petition. This means that if a
student presented a petition
signed by 100 students in his area
to the Elections Conimission, he
could run as a candidate from his
residence area without political
affiliation.
Also included in the suggestions
was that the Chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs serve as an additional ad
visor to SGA. At present the Sec
retary of the Alumni Association

Stevenson Hits
USSR on Congo
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. M—Adlai E. Stevenson accused the Soviet Union yesterday
of reviving the cold war in the United Nations in an attempt to
,wreck peace efforts in the
Congo and get Dag Hammarskjold fired as secretary-general.
The U. S. chief delegate made the charge in replying to an hour-long speech by Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei A: Gromyko in the General. Assembly that was largely a restate
Bill Declared Legal
By Supreme Court
The SGA Supreme Court decided last night that the much
contested "$7OO bill" was constitutional on the grounds that
it falls under SGA's right to legislate the "manner of elec-
tions."
of SGA funds to the elections com
mission for use in the year's po
litical campaigns. The money was
to be used for broadcast and po
ster publicity only.
At that time, Dennis Eisman,
chairman of Campus party, con
tested the constitutionality of the
bill on the grounds that it was
SGA interference in the internal
structure of another organization
and that it limited party initia
tive.
On Dec. 9, Duane Alexander,
proposed and Assembly passed
a constitutional amendment
which gave SGA the right to set
the "time, place and manner of
elections."
Walter Darran, U.-Sr., the or
iginal proponent of the $7OO bill,
defended his case to the Court
on the grounds that Alexander's
amendment made the bill con
stitutional,
Eisman's brief said that the bill
was "in direct violation of the
U.S. Constitution in that it se
riously abridges freedom of
speech."
During the hearing, Darren
emphasized that parties still
have the right to use "non-com
mercial publicity," such as the
painting of store windows.
He added that if parties con
tinued to provide funds for elec
tion, it would be "impossible" for
independent candidates to run
for office because of lack of funds.
"This fall, when the bill was in
effect we had the first example of
an independent candidate running
for office."
Darran was referring to Joan
Cavanagh, 1.-Jr., who was elect
ed independently.

The magazine article which

declared that the case will fake
"at least six more weeks to un

"exposure of more bribers and

The article stated:
"On Monday of this week,

Committee OK's
Report by. LP
On Procedure
A report submitted by Lion's
Paw reviewing its procedure has
been approved by the University
Senate Committee on Student Af
fairs, Monroe Newman, chairman
of the committee, said Monday.
The report was called for at the
end of an investigation made in
to charges against Lion's Paw
last spring. Lion's Paw was asked
to review its organizational struc
ture, procedure for selecting mem
'hers, time and place of meetings,
,functions, publicity for activities
, and the use of the name of the
organization.
According to Newman, the re=
'port was submitted to the Sen
ate Subcommittee on Organiza
tional Control Feb. 1 of this year.
After reviewing the report, the
subcorrimittee recommended that
the Committee on Student Af
fairs approve it.
Newman said that his commit
,tee had accepted the subcom
mittee's recommendation to ap
prove the report but would make
no comment on its contents.
Pollock Area
New Parking
A new plan devised to relieve congestion in the Pollock
area parking lots will have a trial this weekend, according to
Dean Wharton, sophomore class president and one of the
originators of the plan.
Under the plan, Pollock Road from Shortlidge Road to
Entrance Road will be made one
way east from midnight to 1:15
a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
This means that parking lots 41,
located behind Pollock 4 and 5.
will be entered via Shortlidge
Road and can be left via Entrance
Road,
In addition, parking lot 46. lo
cated behind Pollock A, will be
made one way east with en
trance from Shortlidge. The
changes in entering and leaving
the parking lots will also be in
effect on the weekdays next
week, Wharton said.
If the whole plan, that of one
way traffic for the weekends and
the parking lot entrances and
exist changes, is successful this
weekend, next weekend and pos
sibly an additional trial weekend,
the plan will be permanently
adopted, Wharton said.
Wharton said that he and Bar-

ment of previous Soviet Congo
policy
In his first assembly speech
since faking his U.N. post. 'Ste
venson said the "insensate at
lacks" on the U.N. secretary
general imperiled the. "very sur
vival of the United Nations as
an effective operating instru
ment for peace and progress."
He said Gromyko spoke "in the
worst and most destructive tradi
tions of the cold war" and the
assembly could only accept this
as evidence the Soviet Union re
garded the United Nations "sim
ply as an instrument of interna
tional discord."
"The Soviet Union does not
wane the United Nations to suc
ceed in the Congo," Stevenson
declared.
He received a big ovation,' from
the delegates at the conclusion
of his comparatively short speech.
Gromyko got a scattering of ap
plause.
Stevenson summed up the U.S.
position by making these three
points:
"The Soviet Union demands the
resignation of the secretary-gen
eral. We will oppose this demand
with all our strength. We must
not allow the United Nations to
be demeaned by vicious attack on
its most dedicated servant.
"Secondly, the Soviet Union
demands that the United Na
tions withdraw from the Congo
within one month. The United
States is totally opposed to this
effort to replace constructive
efforts of the world at large to
achieve peace and t econcilia
lion with anarchy. The United
Nations must succeed in the
Congo in the interests of all na
tions, large and small.
"In the third place, the Congo
and the United Nations desperate
ly need a period of and of
constructive cooperation during
which we can help the Congolese
to help themselves."
bara Watchorn, Assem

. )lan to relieve the Pollock con
rtestion and intended to present
t as a bill to SCA Assembly. to
norrow night. SCA would have
been asked to support the recom
mendation.
After speaking with Col. Wil
liam C. Pelton, director of the
Department of Security, last
Friday, it was discovered that
the administration was consid
ering a similar plan, he said.
Pelton confirmed the adminis
tration's decision to put the plan
into effect yesterday, Wharton
Since it was found that the ad
ministration had considered the
plan, SGA will still be asked to
support the plan tomorrow night
as part of the Traffic Committee
report, Wharton said.
