SGA Interim Government
OK's Constitution Draft;
Changes Name to USG
By ANN PALMER and •SANDY YAGGI
The SGA interim government last night approved a con
stitution after a three and one-half hour hassle over changes
to be made in the draft proposed by President Dennis Foi
anini.
In the course of the debate, the legislative body's official
title was changed from Assembly to Congress. The name
Student Government Associa
to Undergraduate Student G •
The central point of controversy
concerned the method of repre
_ sentation to be used in the selec
tion of Congressmen.
In the draft presented by Foia
nini, he called for a system of
direct election of Congressmen
from the four major residence
areas in a ratio of 1 representa
tive for every 500 undergraduate
students.
A counter-proposal for repre
sentation was introduced by Irvin
Hill, ICCB president, which called
for a 30-member Congress com
posed of the following; Men's
Residence Council president; five
MRC area council presidents; As
sociation of Women Students'
president; seven AWS area council
presidents; Interfraternity Coun
cil president; Town Independent

Carlisle Clarifies Rush Code Again
The Panhellenic rush chairman,
Janet Carlisle, and the sorority
rush chairmen decided yesterday
that sororities would not be per
mitted to send Christmas cards to
rushees.
However, this rule will not ap
ply to the individual sorority
women, Miss Carlisle said.
Although open contact for so
cial, study and activity reasons
will be in effect over Christmas
vacation, a sorority woman will
not be permitted to issue party
invitations to a rushee when the
sorority woman will be the host
ess, Miss Carlisle added.
"A rushee is defined as any

This proposal was defeated
by a vote of 9 to 7 in favor of
Foianini's proposal for direct

respect in the eyes of both the
administration and the students.
I don't think that there has ever
been the apathy and ineffective
ness which there is now in the
Assembly.

said.
"Until the end of open contact,
it will 'be considered planned

than three rushees or more than
three sisters in a suite or room at
one time," she said.
For example, she said, it would
be considered legal to have one
rushee and three sisters in a group
at one time. However, it would
be illegal to have one rushee and
four sisters together. The same
rules would apply to rushees, she
said.

JFK interview
MOSCOW (/P)—President
Kennedy, assuring the Rus
sian people that nobody is
going to invade the Spviet
Union, declared that the basic
threat to world peace lies in ef
forts of Soviet leaders to corn
munize the world.
In an unprecedented interview
spread across 10 columns of the
Soviet government paper Izvestia
yesterday, the - U.S. chief said:
"If the Soviet Union were mere
ly seeking to protect its own na
tional interests, to protect its own
national security, and would per
mit other countries to live as they
wish—to live in peace—then I be
lieve that the problems which now
cause so much tension would fade
away."
"The Soviet Union is a
mighty military power." he said.
"It has great nuclear strength.
It has rockets, airplanes, a great
number of divisions. Other coun
tries are associated with it. No
body would ever again invade the
Soviet Union. There is no such
military force which would be
able to do it. The question is to
sign an agreement which will in

Car Window Broken
An unidentified man broke
a window on a car Saturday
night and ran off without ex
plaining his actions, State Col
lege police said.
Bert McDowell, junior in
botany and plant pathology
from S. Hadley Yells, Mass.,
and Russell Greenfield, junior
in secondary education from
Linesville, were stopped at the
corner of Beaver and S. Allen
streets when the man came
over to the right side of their
car. Then, for no apparent
reason, police said, he hit the
right front window with his
fist and ran off.
as well as yours, and this is un
doubtedly within our power."
Those were fresh words to be
heard in the Soviet Union, so used
to hearing mostly the Soviet side
alone. What is more, the words
were printed in the official gov
ernment paper. It has four mil
lion circulation, with at least a
few copies reaching every town
and hamlet in the country.
Kennedy expressed his views
in an interview last Saturday
with Alexei Adzhubei, the edi
tor of Izvestia and son-in-law of
Premier Khrushchev.
Crowds of Russians rushed to
buy copies of the • paper.
The interview, including com
ments by Adzhubei as Kennedy
went along, was printed . virtually
intact.
There was no comment on It
in Izvestia, but the Soviet news
agency Tass, in a dispatch to
be printed in other papers, said
Kennedy "tried to take cover
behind the old blind of an im
aginary 'Communist menace.' "
It asserted he gave evasive
answers to some of Adzhubei's
questions or did not answer at
all.
It appeared the President delib
erately couched his views in low
key with the purpose of getting
across the idea that the United
Nominating Period Ends;
Too Few Petitions Filed
To Fill All TIM Seats
The process of weeding out ineligible signers of nominat
ing petitions started last night as the deadline for filing
petitions for SGA Assembly seats and freshman, sophomore
and junior class presidents passed.
Nancy Williams, elections commission chairman, said
that checking the petitions would take all last evening and
probably continue into today.
Commenting on the number of petitions received,
Williams said, "TIM is definitely
in trouble"
She said
_last night, one hour
before the filing period closed,
that so far only one petition had
been received from that area.
With the proportional repre-'
sentation plan under which the
elections will be held in Jan., the
town independent men should be
represented by eight men in the
Assembly. -
No provision has been made
for filling seats if eight peti
tions are not received.
In all other areas there, most
likely, will be enough candidates
to fill the other positions, Miss
Williams said.
Six coeds worked last night
checking each petition to see if
100 eligible students students
from the area which the 'petition
er would represent if elected
signed each petition. The coeds,
were also checking to see that no
student signed more than one
