No. 139 Alexander Defends Bill For leach By ANN PALMER Funds to build up the library’s supply o f books should come directly from the University’s budget while “extras” such as a beach at Stone Valley should be financed by unused class gift funds, Duane Alexander, last year’s sophomore class president, said last night. Alexander proposed a resolution last Thursday night to the SGA Assembly asking that the classes of 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1952 be asked to redesignate their unused funds to build a beach at Stone Valley. He is scheduled to present this resolution as a bill to the As sembly tomorrow night. The four classes had originally asked that their funds be used to buy a press to print The Daily Collegian and other University publications. This has recently been vetoed by President Walker and the funds now remain idle. Jacqueline Leavitt, U - Sr., suggested to Assembly last Thursday that the funds be giv en to the Library to purchase books. This suggestion will be presented as a bill to the As sembly tomorrow night by Lil lian Leis, U-Soph. In commenting on Alexander’s proposal, Dennis Foianini, SGA president, said he is in favor of the funds being used for the li brary. Dean Wharton, sophomore class president, said that class gift funds should be used to provide things that cannot be incorporated into the University’s budget. “If Gov. Lawrence’s bill desig nating $lOO,OOO yearly to the li brary is passed next week,” Whar ton said, “the library will be re ceiving state aid anyway.” Lois Haegley, chairman of the SGA library committee, said that the bills should be tabled until action is taken on Law rence's bill. “Funds would be more widely used if given to the library,” Miss Haegley said, "for it is used all year round while the beach would only be used for a small part of the year.” | If the Assembly supports the proposal to ask the four classes to redesignate their unused gift| funds, the president of each class] will be asked to communicate with all class members whose addresses; are known to approve the redes ignation, Alexander said. Bakery Worker Killed in Crash In Port Matilda William J. Snyder, 23, an em ployee of the University bakery, was killed in an automobile acci dent in Port Matilda Monday eve ning, State Police said yesterday.

Po lice said the car went off the right side of the road, up a steep bank and struck a utility pole on the bank about 12 feet from the road. The car was wedged against the pole on the opposite side of the] road, police reported. The car’s position made it difficult to get Snyder out of the wreckage, they said. Snyder who was unconscious from the time of the accident was not removed from the automobile for 45 minutes. Police said that he probably died before he was re moved from the car. He was taken to the Tyrone Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:05 p.m. by W. Robert Neff, Cen tre County Coroner. Neff said that Snyder had suffered a crushed chest and internal injuries.

Although the demonstrators refused to break up into small er groups when approached by the university police, the school neswpaper quoted University Security Officer Don Sehwartz miller as saying no action would be taken against them. Buhl said that the demon stration was held to force an official statement from the ad ministration concerning the ra cial issue, the paper reported.

According to Coogan’s study, Pennsylvania ranked below the national average in the educa tional and general expenditures per student between the ages of 18 and 24 for the same 57-58 period. The state spent $l4B per capita during this time, as compared to the national average of $l6B. Massachusetts was ranked first; of the 16 states with $491 per capita. Coogan qualified the figure for Massachusetts in the report by! adding that the figure of its col lege-age population appears to be an undercount and this would make the figure tabulated appear larger than it may be.

He pledged the leaders will drop affairs of stale when those aims are attained. The junta, professedly pro- American and anti-Communist, had made swift progress in taking over the reins after sending tanks, infantry, parachute troops and marines against- the elected re gime of Premier John M. Chang in Seoul before dawn yesterday. It seized government build ings, proclaimed martial law, ordered dissolution of the Na tional Assembly and local leg islatures, forbade even, social gatherings and established a 7 p.m. - 5 a.m. curfew. The whereabouts of Chang, successor to ex-President Syng man Rhee as South Korea’s top government leader, was undeter mined. A radio appeal was made to him and his ministers by Presi dent Yun Po-sun, whose postion is normally that of a figurehead, "to come out of hiding as quickly ns possible to bring the situation un der control.” Yun said the revolutionary com mittee guaranteed the safety of Chang and his ministers if they will attend a council of state. He did not specify a time for such a gathering. The revolution ary commiteo earlier had asserted Chang and all his Cabinet would be arrested. Expressions of support for lhe Chang government from the UN Command and US aulhoritie?.in Seoul apparently were ignored by the rebels. These remarks were voiced by Gen. Carter B. Magruder, com mander of UN and US forces in Korea, and US charge d’affaires, Marshall Green. Magruder said he expected the armed forces chiefs, who are un der his operational command as part of the UN force guarding South Korea against Communist aggression, to “use their authority and influence to see that control is immediately turned back to the lawful government authorities and that order is restored in the armed forces.” The State Department in Wash ington said the situation in Korea is so fluid and unclear that the administration cannot comment on it at this time. flip'!' Mends Toms' MeeHwi President Eric A. Walker at tended a meeting yesterday of the Peace Corps Committee of the American Council on Education in Washington. Walker is one of about 12 edu cators throughout the coun try asked by the council to become members of the Peace Corps Committee, Wiimer Ken worthy, executive assistant to the president, said yesterday. “The purpose of the meeting is to see how the committee mem bers can help the Peace Corps and how the Peace Corps, in return, can contribute to an educational program.” Kenworthy said. Most colleges and universities in the United States are mem bers of the American Council on Education, he explained, and the committee is representative of I the total number. Because these members are on the committee does not necessarily mean that they . will set up a Peace Corps program at their schools, Kenworthy said. FIVE cents:
