French Veto British Bid ___ - 1 ' ; * ._ ~ r", - * , To Joiit Common Market, Push for Third Force BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) The French government clamped an unyielding veto last night on Britain’s bid to join the European Common Market and seemed pre pared to try for vast changes in the western alliance. French Foreign Minister Mau rice Couve de Murville thrust aside the pleas of five of France’s continental allies who sought to keep Britain’s membership bid alive. Diplomatic sources said that President de Gaulle’s government, in following this line, seemed de termined to reduce American as well as British influence, in Euro pean affairs. FOR MORE than four hours Couve de Murville stood fast against the pressure of France’s market partners who want Britain in. Instead, he fought for De Gaulle’s concept of a French-led Europe without Britain—a Europe De Gaulle envisions as a third force between East and West. The night's session ended in deadlock, with France still ada- Froth Board Posts Filled, Review Set George S. Zoretich, head of the Department of Art, and Merle E. Campbell, dean of student affairs for the Commonwealth campuses, yesterday consented to serve on the Board of Directors of Froth magazine, thus readying the group’s constitution for review once again. The Committee on Student Or ganizations will meet this morn ing to decide whether to recom mend chartering of Froth. If the decision is favorable, the consti tution will be sent to the Ad ministrative Committee on Stu dent Affairs for final approval. THE CONSTITUTION was sub mitted to the Committee on Stu dent Organizations last week, but it was then discovered that the English department would not act in an advisory position, as had been originally planned. At that point it was referred to the Undergraduate Student Government Committee which drafted it for revision. In a letter from that commit tee to the Committee on Student Organizations, unanimous ap proval is expressed for the sub stitution of Campbell and Zore tieh. The letter also expresses hope that the reviewing committee will agree on the new appointments, to begin publication before the end of this academic year; Frigid Temperatures To Continue; More Snow Expected Tomorrow The second bitter cold wave within a week was expected to drop the mercury to ten below Zero early today. More snow is likely tomorrow and tomorrow night. The latest blast of frigid arctic air invaded Pennsylvania in the wake of the season's heaviest snowstorm, which dumped 7.7 inches of new snow in the State College area Saturday night. Land and air travel was severe ly hampered throughout the Com monwealth Saturday night and Sunday .as the combination of heavy snow, near gale force winds and well-below freezing tem peratures created near blizzard conditions. t Blowing and drifting snow remained a hazard to motor ists-, yesterday, but diminishing winds were forecast for today. THE NEW Canadian air mass dropped the mercury to new rec ord low temperatures' over a- vast area pf the nation early yesterday, and record minimum tempera tures were predicted for a large portiorT of the eastern states this morning. Yesterday’s minimum at f mant against a German plan to keep the negotiations on Britain’s application alive by referring the matter to a study group for a quick assessment. Even so, Britain’s cause was cheerless, and any chance Britain might still have apparently rested with the West Germans. The Germans want to shelve the British membership issue for a month or so, but keep the sub ject alive. Representatives of some of the smaller Common Market nations, which want- Brit ain in, said they noticed an at titude'of extreme caution in the German camp. A few predicted the Germans ultimately will wilt under French pressure. The ministers of the Common Market countries have been asked to settle one problem: Should they adjourn indefinite ly Britain’s bid for membership in the trade and political group ing, as the French demand, or keep the negotiations going with some prospect of ultimate success? BEHIND THE membership question lurkes a vast new in-' ternational design born in the mind of De Gaulle. The towering, 72-year-old Frenchman wants Britain barred from the Common 'Market be cause he is convinced that, once inside, she would serve as a Tro jan horse for the Americans. Primarily, De Gaulle wants to loosen Western Europe’s bonds with the United States so that the European peoples, led by the French, can serve as a third force in world affairs. And ultimately, diplomatic sources said, De Gaulle is con vinced that a revived Western Eu rope can reach an understanding with the Soviet Union—particu larly so in the light of the grow ing argument between Moscow and Peking. Gordon, Jackson Offer 2 Plans To Revise Elections Procedures By JOAN HARTMAN The revisions in the elections code and the constitution of the Undergraduate Student Govern ment’recommended at last week’s meeting by Elections Commission Chairman George Jackson were opposed last night by Liberal Party Chairman George Gordon. Jackson recommended to Con gress that all special and runoff elections be eliminated and that all congressional candidates be required to turn in petitions. Po litical parties can now nominate candidates without having to sub mit petitions. Jackson said last night that Jon Pittsburgh was eight below zero and Huntington, West Virginia had a reading of minus twelve. This morning’s low tempera tures are expected to range from 10 to 20 below zero in northern counties to a few degrees below zero in the southern counties. A STORM that is expected to develop in the south-central states today may bring several inches of snow to the Commonwealth tomorrow and tomorrow night. Another surge of arctic air should follow in the wake of the storm Thursday. The local forecast calls for part ly cloudy skies and a continuation of the very cold weather today and tonight: A high of 20 degrees is expected this afternoon and a low»of 10 is seen for tonight. Snow and cold weather are pre dicted for tomorrow and tomor row night with’several inches of new snow possible by Thursday. Tomorrow’s high temperature will be about 26 degrees. Winds should increase toriiorrow and blowing and drifting snow could become a problem. . " ttlir Hatty VOL. 63.-No. 66 UNIVERSITY. PARK. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 29. 1963 FIVE CENTS Trustees Postpone Action on ROTC By ROCHELLE MICHAELS (See related editorial on page 4) A recommendation to convert the Reserve Officer Training Corps program at the University to a- voluntary course was tabled for subsequent consideration by the Board of Trustees at its week end meeting in Harrisburg. The Trustees also made three appointments to vacancies in key University posts. Donald H. Ford was named director of University Placement Service; Dale B. Har ris, head of the department of psychology; and Samuel C. Sa bean, acting assistant dean of the College of Arts and, Architecture. The Trustees decided to await the pending congressional action on federal policy of ROTC pro grams before reaching a final de cision. The Department of Defense has presented a recommendation to Congress that all ROTC programs should become voluntary, two year courses at most colleges and universities, and that ROTC should be offered in the last two years of a baccalaureate degree program. LAST OCTOBER, the Univer sity Senate voted 104-99 to recom mend that the University program be placed on a voluntary basis, effective after the 1963 spring term. According to the Trustees’ regulations, any Senate action which requires a ‘major” cur- Geiger (fraternity) will submit a bill at this week’s USG meeting calling for the- area council to break a tie occurring between two or more candidates in the area, thus eliminating runoff elections. Speaking on behalf of the Liberal party steering committee, Gordon said last night that the Congress should not eliminate the possibility of holding runoff elec tions since they would be in frequent. JACKSON also said that Geiger will submit a. constitutional re vision which would authorize the area council president to appoint, with the approval of the council, a replacement for a vacant seat on Congress. Gordon said he would like to see special elections held in the winter and spring terms to fill any vacant Congress seats. The election in the spring would be held jointly with the All-Univer sity elections and the election in the winter would be held during the third week of the winter term, Gordon said. "If the ineligible congressman TIM Council To Send Letters Supporting Froth Reinstatement Support for the reinstatement of Froth magazine, in the form of letters to the two committees that will determine the magazine’s fate was given by the Town Indepen dent Men’s council at last night’s meeting. President Arthur Pergam -said the council will send letters ad vocating rechartering of the mag azine to each member of the Committee on Student Organiza tions, which is now considering the matter, and to the Administra tive Committee on Student Af fairs, from which final approval for reinstatement must come.

FORD riculum change must be approved by the. board before it can take effect. The next scheduled board meeting is in June, 1963. Ford, director of the Division of Counseling, was named director of the University Placement Serv ice, effective immediately. Ford has been acting director of the service since George N. P. Leetch resigned, the post last week due to what he said was a “basic dif ference in philosophy between what I think placement should is party affiliated, then his party should meet and choose a tem porary replacement from the same residence area from among its own members to serve until the next special election,” he said. “If the congerssman is not a party member, the area council should elect a temporary replacement.” The constitution now states that a vacant- congressional seal must be filled by a special election within two weeks after the va cancy occurs. THE SECOND constitutional revision Geiger will present, Jack son said, states that political parties may endorse candidates but that the candidates must still file a petition. This proposal was also included in Jackson’s recom mendations last week. Gordon said that his proposals will not be brought before the Congress for another week. Geiger’s bill and two constitution al revisions were submitted to the USG Rules Committee last night for inclusion on this week’s agenda. in the USG elections. Pergam said the committee will be a coordinating body that will work with the USG Elections Commission in an attempt to create a larger turnout from town men at the polls. The poor voting record of town independent men in recent years, especially last year, precipitated formation of the committee, Per gam said. Richard Crawford, (11 th-civil engineering-Middletown, N.J.), re signed as editor of the TIM news letter, the Town Crier, which was recently published for the first time. He will be replaced by Dianne Lamb (llth-joumalism- Sr.egertown.). (Eallfgiatt DALE B. HARRIS be and what the administration apparently thinks.” Ford will continue as director of D.O.C. in addition to his new post, Robert G. Bernreuter, spe cial assistant to the president for student affairs, said. Bernreuter explained that Ford’s background will increase the amount of coun seling that students can receive prior to making their job choice at the - time of graduation. Ford is also an assistant profsosor of psychology. The second appointment was that of Harris to head of the de partment of psychology, effective Friday. He has been serving as acting head of the department since September when Arthur H. Brayfield resigned the post to accept the position of executive director of the American Psycho logical Association in Washing ton, D.C. A SPECIALIST in the Held of child behavior, Harris was named to the University faculty in 1959 to direct the educational-develop mental section of his department.
