Committee
To Meet
1)n Recess
Harvey Klein and Marjoire
Ganter, student members of
the Senate Committee on Class
and Calendar Schedule, will
meet this morning with other
committee members to air
their formal proposal on an ex
tended Thanksgiving vacation.
Miss Ganter said last night that
she and Klein will propose an
amendment to the Senate policy
on scheduling for all fall terms.
If the amendment proposal is
accepted, she said, it will be ef
fective for future fall terms as
well as the present one.
"The only thing the committee
is allowed to do is recommend
an amendment to Senate poli
cy. Since we are required to
work through the committee, I
we decided to drop our idea of
asking for special dates to be
changed, Miss Canter said.
The two students originally
had been working on a plan to
propose that the Senate make the
two days following Thanksgiving
Day a vacation. They planned to
request that classes on Nov. 23
be held Dec. 5; classes Nov. 24
be held Dec. 6; and classes Nov.
25 be held Dec. 7.
Miss Ganter said that if the
committee passes the amendment,
it will be placed on the Senate
agenda for its Nov. 7 meeting.
The Senate could then vote on
the amendment, she said.
"However, we won't know
whether this will be done until
after tomorrow's meeting," Miss
Canter said.
Klein and Miss Ganter plan
to go directly to the Senate if
the committee fails to pass their
proposal, Miss Ganter said.
"We would appear as student
members having something of
vital concern to the whole Uni
versity to bring before the Sen
ate," she said.
If this is done, Miss Ganter
explained, she and Klein could
only open discussion on the mat
ter. Any motion for voting must
be made by the Senate members.
At the meeting today, all mem
bers of the 7-member committee
will be present to hear the stu
dents, Miss Ganter said.
Harold J. Read, chairman, is
the returning member of the
committee who also helped plan
the present schedule for this
year, Miss Gather said.
Engle Alters Units
For Orange Game
Prompted by Penn State's lack lustre play against Army
Saturday and an unspectacular 2-2 record so far this season,
Lion Coach Rip Engle has revamped both his starting and
Reddie Unit lineups.

days away, Engle has promoted
halfbacks Roger Kochman and
Hal Powell and tackles Terry
Monaghan and Gerry Farkas to
the starting unit.
At the same time halfbacks
Don Jonas and Al Gursky and
tackles Jim Smith and Charlie
Sieminski were moved down

"We're going to have 11 tigers
on the field at all times against
Syracuse," Engle said. "That's
why we made the switches."
Other changes still pending are
Bob Hart replacing Dick Wilson
at Reddie Unit guard and Ralph
Baker moving up to Reddie Unit

The administration is still wait
ing for a final decision by the
Senate Committee on Calendar
and Class Schedule, which meets
today, he said.
Cutler added that he did not
think the Senate would do any
thing about a change.
Cutler said the policy was re

that students may have gotten
from reading the Daily Collegian."
He also said that teachers may
not cancel classes the two days
after Thanksgiving unless the
calendar is changed.
Several faculty members have
expressed the opinion that stu
dents should • have expressed a

SGA Updates List
For Town Housing
By SANDY YAGGI
(Ths is the fourth in a series of articles concerning the activities
of committees of the Student Government Association.)
The SGA Committee on Interracial Problems continues
to provide'a list of non-discriminatory housing for students'
use.
A list compiled by the committe last year has been
revised and is now posted in the
Hetzel Union, Suzanne Flinch
baugh, committee chairman, said
yesterday.
"The list has an added feature
this term," Miss Flinchbaugh said,
"for it now also includes informa
tion about rooms for rent on
weekends."
The compilation of the hous
ing list was the result of a bill
passed by the Student Govern
ment Association last Oct. 27.
At this time the SGA was grant
ed permission to take over the
housing list previously compiled
by the dean of men's office.
In the SGA bill concerning the
list, it was recommended that

MOSCOW (in Nikita
'Khrushehev yesterday de
'elared the Soviet Union would
no longer insist that a German
peace treaty he signed by the
end of this year. lie said this
was on condition the Western
powers "display readiness to set
tle the German problem."
In a speech of 6 hours, 20
minutes to the 22nd Soviet Com
munist party Congress, Khrush
chev also announced that Soviet
scientists would touch off a 50-
megaton nuclear bomb, equivalent
to 50-million tons of TNT, at the
end of October.
On Berlin an d Germany,
Khrushchev said, "If the Western
powers display readiness to settle
the German problem, the question
of the time limit for the signing
of a German peace treaty will
not be so material; we shall not
insist that the. peace treaty be
signed by all means before Dec.
31, 1961," the date he had pre
viously set.
But he went on: "The German
peace treaty must be and will
be signed, with the Western
powers or without them."
He said such a treaty would
end Western occupation rights in
West Berlin and convert West
Berlin to a "free and demilita
rized city." These terms are just
what Britain, the United States
and France have refused to con
sider.
Khrushchev commented on
soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko's recent talks
with President Kennedy, U.S.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
and British Prima Minister
Harold Macmillan.
"We had the impression that
the Western powers display a
certain understanding of the sit
uation and are inclined to seek
a solution for the German prob
lem and the West Berlin issue
on a mutually acceptable basis,"
he said.
In his far-ranging report, Khru
shchev told the 4,813 delegates
and advisory delegates that "only
a little more time" would be
needed to outstrip the United
States economically; that coloni
alism is dead: and that capitalism
is unable to solve any of the ur
gent problems facing mankind.
He concluded with a violent at
tack on the Communist party
leadership of Albania and Yugo
slavia.
conditional upon the landlord's
practice of non-discrimination of
race, creed, color, religion or na
tional origin."
If was also stated in the bill
that "any landlord found upon
due investigation to practice
discrimination shall no longer
be registered by SGA until
such time as there is evidence
of a change in policy."
The housing list is revised
every term. Additions may be
,made to it at any time. Anyone
'wishing to be included on the
list may be considered by calling

tween 7 and 9 p tn.. Monday

ibaugh said.
