THE ESTIMATE was made several months ago on the basis of the University s concerted ef forts in recent years to improve all phases of instruction and to develop new fields 'and methods of teaching, he said; ] These efforts were - recognized in the prediction,; Ken worthy said. ' ; The department by department self-evaluation, which is about one-half completed,, has resulted in curricula changes j and addi tions in sonje eases to! the faculty and staff, he said. “We found some; departments were actually better than we first thought they were," [ Kenworthy said. The incoming Scranton admini stration in Harrisburg has ex pressed a strong- interest in the development of higher education, Kenworthy said. This concern will aid in implementing the Univer sity’s plans for expansion, he ex plained.

India (API—An Indian government spokesman re jected yesterday the key provision for a withdrawal of troops which Red China pinned to its proclama tion of a cease-fire Wednesday.in the Himalayan frontier war. He cited potential Indian territorial losses m Ladakh. Although the spokesman said Prime Minister Nehru’* govern ment- is still considering the Red Chinese offer, his statemcht ap peared to bring the two nations closer to a resumption of fighting. SIGNB OF a stiffening Indian 1 stand against Peking terms for a continued border truce came as American plane* rushed more than 1,000 fresh Indian troops, to positions in the northeast.

"Over the last five games of the season." th® silver-haired Lion eoach said, "this has been th® best team I've ever hagi.’’ The Lions.:earned the bowl bid and the right to retain the Lambert Trophy with the best record a Penn State team .has compiled since the 1947 edition of the Lions had a 9-0-1 mark. The 1947 find 1962 teams are the only squads In Penn State history to win nine games in a single season. Saturday’s victory was the third in a row over the Pantherk and gave Engle a personal coaching record of 8-4-1 against Pitt. The lions had their hand* full before pulling awnv oil Pete Liske’s two second half touchdown passes to give State its 26th victory in the series that started in 1893. Pitt has 33f victories nnd three games- have ended in ties. «, Liske was outstanding for the..

The key piovision of their pro poxal—a return of both sides to positions behind their lines, of ron trol of Nov. 7, 1959—would mean a Chinese retreat from thousands of' square miles of eastern sector te.mtory they won in the fail offensive*. BUT INDIA evidently considers that would be outweighed by the situation on the Western end of the front in Ladakh, a strategic northern district of Kashmir where both the 1959 ltnis of con trol and- the actual frontier are subject* of controversy. The - Red Chinese interest in keeping a foothold in Ladakh t* illustrated by the fact" they have built a highway there linking their western province of Sin kiang with Chinese-ruled Tibet. The Indian spokesman said Pe king's withdrawal plan, would leave, the Chinese deep in Indian territory there and sitting on 2,000 square miles they did not control before the intent attack. INDIA CANNOT allow the Chinese "to extend their unlawful control of Indian territory"" ax a reward f of aggression, he said. More •k! Pitt 8 The Lion Hoars -See Page 4 FIVE CENTS
