Opposition Swept Aside
As Junta Gets Support
Of South Korean Forces
SEOUL, South Korea (/P) Military rule settled firmly
on South Korea today with the government of Premier John
M. Chang and U.S. opposition swept aside.
American authorities here took strong stands against the
military coup within hours a:
junta leaders won the vital

pearance of this odd figure at
the side entrance of the Hetzel

Library Books Due
Mrs. Margaret K. Spangler, as
sistant librarian, requested yester
day that all students return li

asked that fraternity members
search their houses for books.
Mazza to Prepare
Housing Pamphlet
The State College Chamber of Commerce yesterday
directed its president, Paul Mazza, to incorporate all of the
information he has gathered on discriminatory housing into
a pamphlet.
The pamphlet, which the group plans to distribute to all
interested persons, will contain
information gathered in the cham
ber’s recently completed housing
survey, Mazza.said after the meet
ing.
The survey, in which 970
landlords were interviewed,
revealed varying degrees of
prejudice" among landlords in
Stale College, Jerome Wein
stein. editor of the Centre Daily
Times said last week.
Mazza said that he had promised
the Chamber of Commerce that
the pamphlet would be completed
before the group’s next meeting
in mid-June.
The pamphlet, Mazza said,
would be necessary before the
Chamber of Commerce could de
cide on the feasibility of maintain
ing a list of all landlords not
practicing discrimination.
Mazza said a housing list could
be compiled in conjunction with
the one presently being main
tained by SGA. But, if that didn’t
work out, he continued, the
Chamber of Commerce could
maintain its own list.
SGA President, Dennis Foi-
Saily
Eter it broke Tuesday. But the
backing of all South Korea’s
[armed forces and the 61-year
[old premier formally resigned
yesterday.
A 30-man committee was named
to run the country. It is made up
of military men headed by Lt.
Gen. Chang Do-young, 38, army
chief of staff..
Although the U.S. Embassy here
and the American chief of the
United Nations Command, Gen.
Carter B. Magruder, publicly op
posed the military takeover, U.S.
sources said American recognition
of the new regime is assured.
By getting Chang's formal
resignation and keeping Presi
dent Yun Po-sun on as chief of
state, they said, the military
junta resolved any issue of rec
ognition. Official diplomatic
links are with the chief of stale,
even though in South Korea
this post is chiefly ceremonial,
j- Despite this apparent settling of
the problem on the surface, there
was no question that American
authorities here were left in the
position of having backed the
wrong side.
Magruder’s call for Korean mili
tary leaders to support the legally
constituted government of Pre
■mier Chang was supported firmly
by the U.S. charge d'affaires,
Marshall Green. The words of
both were ignored by the coup
leaders.
Officially Washington did not
take sides. But the outcome —•
a month after the Cuban inva
sion fiasco was viewed by
some as enlailing a loss of face
for Americans.
There were indications the
United States, which has ear
marked $253 million for South
Korea’s 1961 budget, would press
for an early return to civil control.
Its long-standing policy has been
to stress the development of dem-

anini said that SGA will work
very closely with the Chamber
of Commerce on the problem of
discriminatory housing down
town next fall, but said he did
not know of any plans for a
joint SGA-Chamber of Com
merce committee to compile a
housing list.
Two students who have worked
closely with the Chamber of Com
merce on its housing survey have
called for the organization to
take over the housing list now
being maintained by SGA.
Ruth Falk, chairman of the
SGA Committee on Inter-Racial
Problems, said that the housing
list should be turned over to
the Chamber of Commerce be
cause students are not capable
of discerning who is telling the
truth about discrimination.
• The situation is much too touchy
for students to handle, she said.
Aaron Konstam, president of
DARE, said that he would be
happy to see the Chamber of
Commerce set up a non-discrimi
natory housing list.

For Encampment
The SGA Assembly last night voted to hold Encampment at ihe University’s Ml.
Alto campus rather than at this campus as proposed by SGA President Dennis Fokmini
and Encampment chairman Nancy Williams.
The Assembly, which had a quorum for the first time in the last three meetings,
took this action after approving Miss Williams’ appointment as Encampment chairman.
! Eugene Grumer, Foinnini’s
choice for Encampment business
■manager, was not approved by
the Assembly.
John Witmer, U-Jx\, advocated
iholding Encampment at Mt. Alto
[because of a more informal and
.secluded atmosphere.
i "If Encampment were held at
the University, people would go
to special meetings but after hours
' they would go their own ways,”
. Witmer said.
“At Mt. Alto we are forced to
be together, and therefore to work
together,” he said.
Miss Williams and Foianini
favored holding Encampment at
the University because they
felt that "resource people"
would be more easily contact
ed and that facilities would be
better than at Mt. Alto.
It was also reported by Miss
Williams that holding Encamp
ment on campus would cost three
fourths as much as at Mt. Alto.
The cost difference was pointed
out in a recent survey by The
Daily Collegian in which an of
ficial of the Food Services De
partment stated that Encampment
people could be fed in a residence
dining hall, thus reducing the
food cost for the three day period.
Miss Williams reported that
j Encampment will tentatively be
; held Sept, 14, 15 and 16.
i ‘’This may have to be changed
,as those were the days planned
(for holding Encampment on this
' campus,” she said.
! In other business, the Asscm
jbl.y voted to ask the classes of
i 1948, ’49, ’5O and ’52 to redesig
jnate their unused class gift funds
for either a beach at Stone Val
ley Recreation Area or to pur
chase books for the library.
Duane Alexander originated
this action by asking the As
sembly, last Thursday, to sup

Housing Allows Men
To Reject Rooms
The Department of Housing made a sharp about-face
yesterday when it announced that men students can now re
ject their residence hall room assignments.
Earlier this week the department announced that men
students were required to accept the room assignment given
to them.
Otto E. Mueller, head of the housing department, said
last night that the change had
been made partially .

Formerly it was a common
practice among men who were
unsure of where they were
going to live the following year
to apply for a residence hall
room and take the 10 day period
to decide whether to accept or
reject it.
An announcement posted on the
bulletin boards in all men’s resi
dence halls late yesterday after
noon told of the change in room
assignment policy.

Class Gift Fund
Use Suggested
Robert G. Bernreuter, special
assistant to the President for stu
dent affairs, said yesterday that
he thinks improvement of the
Stone Valley Recreation Area is
an appropriate use for old class
gift money.
“I think the money should be
used for some undergraduate pur
pose,” he said.
After reading the report of the
Liberal Arts Faculty Library
Committee, Bernreuter said, “it
seems to me that the library defi
ciencies are mainly on the re
search level.”
It is difficult for graduate stu
dents and faculty members to do
the kind of research they want to
do especially in the liberal arts
field with the books available
to them in Pattee, he said.
“It seems to me that it would be
somewhat inappropriate to use
money given by undergraduates
to provide the library with re
search material,” Bernreuter said.

J A “Back the Budget” pep rally will be held Sunday after
noon by the three political parties, Dale Harris, Liberal party
jchairman, said yesterday.
Plans are not yet definite, Michael Dzvonik,. University
party chairman, said. He said the

cUers, he said.
The three party chairmen.
Miss Harris, Dzvonik and Den'
nis Eisman, Campus party, met
yesterday morning to plan Jhe
event. Miss Harris said. The
parties have decided to forget
their rivalry and cooperate in
the budget campaign because it
is important to everyone, she
said.
A car caravan, probably start
ing in the fraternity district, will
precede the pep rally, Miss Har
ris said. Plans have been made to
have a band present, she added.
Eisman said that SGA President
Dennis Foianini will speak at the
ra.iy. He added that the coalition:

students here are really concerned
about the budget.
"Unless the budget President
Walker requested is approved
by the legislature, it is inevil-
I able that there will be a tuition
[ raise," Eisman said,
i Miss Harris said the event will
be covered by Harrisburg news
papers and the Associated Press.
“The budget situation scorns lo be
at a critical stage,” she said, “and
another manifestation of student
interest would help greatly.”
j "Because of the administration’s
apparent lack of interest,” Miss
Harris said, “the students must
take the initiative.”
There will be a meeting for
all those interested In working
