VOL 61. No. 1 24
Senate Defeats Proposal
Recommended by Hays
For Education Committee
The state Senate yesterday defeated a resolution pro
posing a special bipartisan committee to initiate legislation
to implement the report of the governor's special committee
on education.
The resolution sponsored by Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre,
called for the appointment of a
8-member committee of four
Democrats and four Republicans
to act on the report's recommen
dations.
It was defeated in a 22-24 vote
that followed party lines.
Hays said last night that he
had hoped the resolution would,
pass so that legislation on educa
tion appropriations could be initi
ated immediately.
Recommendations from the
education report must be pre
sented to the General Assem
bly in bill form before any
action can be taken on them.
"I had looked forward to getting
ahead on this legislation," Hays
said.
A similar resolution calling for
a bipartisan committee will be
voted on today, in the House of
Representatives, Hays said,
Hays said he will meet with
the chairman of the house educa
tion committee this week to de
cide whether future legislation on
education should be introduced
on a bipartisan basis.
When asked if the defeat may
affect the chances for passage
of the University's request for
$23.1 million in state appro
priations, Hays said, "It will
have no adverse affect on the
University appropriations al
though we could have worked
more rapidly through a special
committee."
The Senate Committee on Edu
cation will begin working to
study and frame legislation im
plementing the governor's report
this morning, Hays said. Legisla
tion should be introduced into
the Senate next week, he added.
Since the legislature adjourns in
June, the legislature will have to
work rapidly during the next few
weeks, Hays said.

ing in a move to support the Uni
versity's request for an increased
budget appropriation.
"We were stimulated by the
articles in The Daily Collegian
and the editorial yesterday really
gave us the spark," said Gwen
dolyn Epstein, spokesman for the
group.
The group, after considering
several possibilities, decided that
a literal "hike" to Harrisburg was
almost impossible," Miss Epstein
said.
It would mean cutting several
days of classes, she said, and
might not be understood by the
public, since we are here to at
tend classes and get an education.
We have decided to use a car car
avan instead," she said.
The girls plan to park their
cars outside Harrisburg then par
ade through the city. "This will
be a well-conducted demonstra
tion," she explained.
"We hope that this can be the
spark that will explode the pub
lic and students to take some kind
of interest in the University's ac
tivities. Too much is said around
here, and too little done," Miss Ep
stein said. "If we can at least get
people thinking we will feel wee
have accomplished something,"
she said.
The group gave three reasons
for wanting to "march:"

2 Classes May Hold
Presidential Elections
The freshman and sophomore classes were given per
mission to elect their class presidents for the coming year
either this spring or next fall
chairman said yesterday.
James Sloane, freshman class
president, had not been informed
of the committee's decision when
asked to comment last night but
said he felt that "it was kind of
late to elect the presidents this
spring."
"Posters and candidates are al
ready set up for this spring's
elections and I doubt whether it
would be possible to nominate
and elect two class presidents at
this time," Sloane said.
Sloane will consult his Ad
visory Board, which meets at
6:30 tonight and said that ho
would confer with Dean Whar
ton, sophomore class president,
about the feasibility of spring
elections.
Wharton submitted a report
yesterday morning to Newman
which stressed the need for class
presidents whether they sit on
SGA Assembly or not.
In concluding his report, Whar
ton stated that the Sophomore
Advisory Board would be glad to
conduct the election of a junior
class president either _this spring
or next fall..
Wharton said that no matter
when the class presidents are
elected, it will always happen
that there will be an overlap
of four presidents from three
classes in the spring. This is

He said that he would be agree

Reston Speech
JFK Administration Discussed
By BARB BROWN
The first one hundred days
of the Kennedy administra
tion have been extraordinarly
interesting and in some ways
a tragic period, James Reston,
chief of the Washington bureau
of the New York Times, said last
night.
Reston spoke to a full-house in
Schwab on "Behind the Washing
ton Dateline," the last of the Uni
versity Lecture Series for the
semester,
"The present generation in
Washington is not like that of
' the old New Dealers of the '3os."
Reston said, "they are a new,
young generation attempting to
bring intellect and politics to
gether,"

2 Students
Arraigned
For Conduct
George Beebe, freshman in
liberal arts from Point Pleas
ant, was fined $lOO plus costs
and sentenced to 10 days in
ljail for shoplifting and dis
orderly- .conduct yesterday by
Guy G. Mills, justice of the
peace.
Beebe admitted taking several
small articles from Keeler's and
Metzger's. He, also admitted tak
ing items from stores in Quaker
town and bringing them here to
sell.
This is the maximum penalty
for both charges, Mills said.
Another student, William Ma
syp, sophomore in the division of
counseling from Mt. Holly, N.J.,
was charged with malicious mis
chief for breaking the large
stained glass window in the State
College Presbyterian church.
Since the offense is a misde
meanor which cannot be handled
by a Justice of the Peace, the stu
dent was turned over to the Cen
tre County, court under $l,OOO
bond. Masyn has posted the bond,
police said.
The offense carries a penalty
of a fine not exceeding $3OO and
a jail sentence not exceeding
six months or both.
In addition, Masyn was fined
$lOO and costs on a charge of dis
orderly conduct which involved
theft, larceny and shoplifting. Po
lice said that he had taken cig
arettes, books and candy from
downtown stores and that he also
had taken some borough signs.
Masyn admitted firing marbles
with a high-powered slingshot at
the large stained glass window
breaking 13 sections of it.
He shot the marbles from his
room above the Harmony Shop,
which is opposite the church, at
noon and at 5 p.m. when the bells
of the church played.
He said that he could not con
centrate or do anything at meal
times because of the bells.

in a gentler method of negotia

Russia was not pressed for a new
set of proposals, but neither of
them worked, he added.
"We are in the Ladies Home
Journal phase in Washington
now—concerned with a great
sense of

have a handsome president with
a beautiful wife who both prac
tice gracious living and speak

substitute style for program,"

and battling gendarmes.
Challe made a last despondent
appearance on the balcony of the
government building with Gen.
Raoul Salan at his side. Then the
two disappeared inside.
Chalk', 'the brains of the insur
rection, had already sent word to
President Charles de Gaulle in
Paris that he was at the disposi
tion of the government.
The end of the revolt was
hastened by President Charles de
Gatille's orders to wipe out the
rebels with all means necessary
' , —including warfare—to restore
order.
• The fate of Challe's fellow reb
els remained in doubt but those
chiefly responsible may be ex
ecuted as traitors.
In the final chaotic moments
of the generals' revolt three
gendarmes fell in the streets,
wounded by fire from windows
of surrounding apartments. The .
angry gendarmes returned the
fire. •
•
The paratroops who defiantly
captured the government build
ings Saturday were nowhere to be
seen. They had pulled out of the
center of Algiers earlier, leaving
the way clear for gendarmes to
move in.
The European population of Al
giers—almost to a man behind
the insurrection—was angry and
stupified. Most of them had arnis,
and fights with the gendarmes
were reported throughout the city.
The rebellion broke out with
' out warning early last Satur
day to enforce the European
population's bitter - determina
tion to keep French rule firmly
over Algeria in opposition to .
De Gaulle's course toward deal
ing with the Nationalists.
De Gaulle already has opened
the legal proceedings that could
result in death sentences for all
the insurgent leaders.
The French and Algiers radios,
again linked for the first time
spice Saturday, carried a series
of night-time announcements to
spread the news.
The United States has offered
French President Charier. de
Gaulle any assistance he might
want to protect his republic from
the rebelling militarists in Al
geria, the White House said yes

So far the United States has
received no indication De Gaulle
will ask for any American aid,

press secretary.

Reston explained.
The big problem now is to
find the gaps between Ken
nedy's suggestions and his cur

his analysis of world problems
was wrong or his programs are

"Now Kennedy is in the pro
cess of realizing his plight, Res
ton said. The administration is
being staggered by the Cuban
situation. We need to §ee less
style and a more serious effort to
get down to problems in the
future," he said.
In attempting the scientific ap
proach to government, the Cuban
situation was, "one of the worst
staffed jobs in foreign policy that
I have ever seen," Reston said.
The whole process was done with
out a careful analysis of the out
come, he added.
