French Veto British Bid

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. . "

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.

Supporting Froth Reinstatement
Support for the reinstatement

meeting.
President Arthur Pergam -said
the council will send letters ad

Committee on Student Organiza
tions, which is now considering
the matter, and to the Administra

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

to what he said was a “basic dif

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.

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

recently published for the first

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.
The final appointment is that
of Sabean as acting assistant dean
of the College of Arts and Archi
tecture. Sabean is presently as
sociate professor of art.
Jules Heller, dean of that col
lege, said Sabean will primarily
be concerned with resident art
instruction on campus. His ap
pointment becomes effective Fri
day.
