VOL. 63, No. 71 UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5, 1963 FIVE CENTS Model U.N..., - Votes.:- Down Arms:Retholial in :Cuba By STEVE CIMBALA A resolution calling on the United States to withdraw ,im mediately from its naval base at Guantanamo and on_ the Soviet Union to dismantle 'and remove offensive nuclear weapons from Cuba was defeated after lengthy debate . Sunday evening by the University's first Model United Nations General Assembly. India and Mexico f sponsors of the resolution, saw their proposal fall eight votes shy of the two thirds -majority needed for pas sage by the assembly. Clever delay tactics, Including filibuster, engineered by the So viet Union and its supporters, al moit prevented the resolution from getting off the ground. ACTUALLY, the Soviets sup ported rather than opposed the resolution, since it also called for removal of the U.S. naval block ade from Cuba.. But aware of large support the United States had mustered to defeat the resolution, Soviet dele gates moved to delay the _final vote while they sought neutral nations' support for the proposal. A Western offensive, spear headed by_New Zealand and Co lombia, squashed the tactics, how ever, when it engineered passage of a motion for cloture, or cessa tion of. debate. OTHER ACTION by the as sembly included passage of a res olution asking the Republic of IFC Fqll Term Average Drops Below All-Men's By TONY FOGLIO For the first time in at least five years, the all-fraternity term average has dropped below the all-men's •average, Wilmer Wise, assistant to the dean of men for fraternity affairs, revealed at last night's Interfraternity Council meeting. Wise said the fraternity average was 2.312, while the all-men's average was 2.370. The average for non-fraternity men was 2.38. Alpha Phi Delta, Beta Theta Pi, Omega Psi Phi, and Theta Chi fraternities are ineligible to par ticipate in this year's Greek Week activities because their term-aver ages fell below the IFC-desig nated minimum 'average of 2.35 for the third consecutive term, Gene Sterner, chairfnan of the IFC' Scholarship Committee, said. THE TOP five fraternities were Alpha Zeta, 2.968; Acacia, 2.703; Delta Chi, 2.67; Delta Theta Sig Mercury To Climb As Clouds Remain _ A slow warming trend began yesterday afternoon and is ex pected to continue into tonight. The mercury — skidcred to an of ficial low of one degree yester day morning, but unofficial read ing around the area were as low as 10 below zero.

Skies should remain mostly cloudy through tomorrow, and snow or rain may begin late to - nightor early tomorrow. The pre cipitation is moving northward from the southeastern states, where a storm is in the developing stages. - - -"- Tonight's low temperature will be about -27 degrees, and a high of 34 is indicated for tomorrow.

The resolution threatened severe sanctions in the form of an eco nomic boycott on the Republic of South Africa by all U.N.-nations and U.N.• military action against the republic if it resisted the de cision. ANOTHER resolution passed by the assembly urged all, nations ma, 2.591; and Phi Sigma Kappa, 2.559. Wise said that 79.6 per cent of the fraternities fell below the all men's average. "It's not encourag ing," he said when he read the scholarship report to the assem bled house presidents.- - He declared the need for IFC to undertake "a crash program" to build up the fratermty aver age. He said there must be a feeling of concern within IFC and the fraternities if the situation is to be rectified. EMIL SOS, IFC president, sug gested that the fraternity presi dents consider' changing 'the aver ages a student must have before he may pledge a house. Instead of having a 2.0, All- University average or a 2.2 term average, Sos suggested that the wording be changed so that a student must have both a 2.0 All- UniVersity average and a 2.2 term average before he could be con sidered eligible to pledge. - His suggestion came when one of the possible causes for the drop in fraternity averages was*thought to be the low grades of pledging students. IFC will consider Other ap proaches at its next meeting, Sos said. IN ADDITION to the fraternity averages, Wise also_released the sorority average, which was 2.860. The average for non-sorority women was 2.649. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority - led with 3.142, followed by Delta Del ta Delta, 3.021; Alpha Epsilon Phi, 3.015; Alpha Gamma Delta, 2:988; and Phi Sigma Sigma, 2:979. In_ other business, Fred Good, Greek Week chairman, _said the deadline for submitting posters in the Greek - contest has been ex tended to tomorrow. Senate 'Cancelled The University Senate will not meet today as previously scheduled - because there is not enough business for the agenda, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, execu tive assistant to the president,, announced yesterdaY: - • - Action possessing nuclear weapons to ban all tests in the atmosphere, under water, underground and in outer space. The major innovation of the resolution, .which was sponsored by India, was that it created a spedial "scientific commission," composed of top scientists from nuclear and non-nuclear nations, to work out an adequate system -of inspection, as soon_ as possible. The assembly also passed a res olution that will - slightly revise procedures for • determining ap pointments to the Secretariat, or adniinistrative arm of the United Nations. - TH E PROPOSAL, sponsored chiefly by India, Italy, and Jordan, said that _from a geographical standpoint, appointments to the Secretariat were not distributed equitably. In previous years, Secretariat officials have been appointed by committees, set up by the secre tary general, who based their selections upon general merit and financial contribution to the U.N., while giving "due consideration" to geographiCal distribution. In its final action, the assembly voted to create a Capital Develop ment Fund to extend financial aid to "e merg i n g" and underde veloped nations. New Education Tests Ingenuity Of Dele-gates Delegates to the University's first Model United Nations Gen eral Assembly this past weelOnd received a liberal education fea turing lessons in drudgery, diplo macy, and duplicity. Concerning drudgery, more than one delegate expressed dis gust at the legislative impasse that throttled his particular commit tee in Saturday's committee ses sions. Several delegates- said they would have walked out of their committee meetings if what they termed "senseless bickering" had continued much longer. BY EMPLOYING both "hard" and "soft" lines of diplomacy, however, the delegates persevered and haggled until resolutions agreeable to the majority emerged. Duplicity assumed a prominent role Sunday evening, when the resolutions --of the committees were submitted to the general assembly for a final vote. Many delegates, oblivious to the words of the speakers, scam pered •through the aisles of Schwab for last-minute persua sive talks with .fence-straddlers. A highlight of the confusion caused by such practices came when .one delegate discovered to her horror that her delegation was located on the wrong side of the auditorium. A hasty and em barrassing ,exodui was necessi tated. Oftiiiila..s,,*.:iit .0: - kW-ea:o76ns OTTAWA (/P) --L- Canada's nuclear weapons dispute with the United States split Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's Cabinet yesterday and threatened to topple his government. Two opposition parties entered motions of no-confidence In parliament last night which, if carried, would bring down the Diefenbaker government. The motions by Liberal Party Leader Lester B. Pearson and Social Credit Party Leader Robert Thompson assailed the government's defense position. Both expressed a desire for a new election, The Liberal and Social Demo crat deputies, along with the op position New Democratic Party, have the votes to bring down the minority Conservative govern ment. But it remained uncertain whether the opposition would unite to do it. The feeling among qualified ob servers was that the opposition parties might bury their differ ences•this time•and vote together. The vote on the Liberal motion is set for tonight. A new tide of parliamentary opposition to Diefenbaker was touched off by the resignation of Defense Minister Douglas Hark ness earlier in the day. Harkness denounced Diefenbaker's wait .and-see nuclear policy and pre dicted the Conservative Party would lose the next election ,un less it agrees to accept U.S. nu clear warheads. PEARSON THEN introduced a no-confidence motion assailing Diefenbakees government for "lack of leadership, the break down of unity within the Cabinet, confusion and indecision in hand - ling national and international affairs. ' "The country should be given an opportunity to choose a better government without further de lay," Pearson told the House of Commons. Thompson objected to the word ing of the Liberal Party motion as vague and said at first that the Social Credit Party would support Diefenbaker. The Con servatives, if they held ranks tightly 'themselves, would need only the Social Credit Party's' 30 votes to beat down the Liberal motion. Later, however, Thompson de scribed his own statement as stalling and went back to the House and introduced his own motion of no-confidence. THE SOCIAL Credit Party has several times saved Diefenbaker's government from. toppling, but Thompson said this time it had ignored what he called the Social Credit Party's last-minute appeal for positive action to meet the problems of Canada. Diefenbaker could grab the in itiative by dissolving Parliament and calling for new elections. There has been speculation for days that he might make such a move to try to take advantage of a swell of anti-American senti ment that followed a U.S. gov ernment statement last week criticizing his nuclear policy. —Photo by Iforry Pnchter JOSE LIMON (center) and two members of his troupe perform in "The Moor's Pavane," a dance created by Limon.

Committee To Co tinue Froth Study The Committee on Student Or ganizations will meet this morn ing to continue working on the constitution for a proposed cam pus humor magazine. Leßoy S. Austin, associate dean of men and a member of the com mittee, will serve as acting chair man because of the absence of chairman George L. Donovan. Donovan is serving jury duty in the Bellefonte Court House. Austin said yesterday that to day's meeting will be concerned with finding advisors and a board of directors for the proposed Froth. A new policy, instituted' by the committee last month, requires that each person who is asked to serve on the board or as an ad visor must first have the written approval of the organization he represents or of his direct super visor. Donovan" had said when the policy was established that the provision is necessary because the persons are asked to serve by vir tue of their positions rather than as individuals. AUSTIN SAID that the com mittee today will continue work ing on "another set of commit ments for advisors and a board of directors. for Froth." He did not mention the persons who are being considered for the positions at the present time. Last week the committee con sidered George S. Zoretich, head of the Department of Art, and Merle E. Campbell, director of student affairs for commonwealth campuses, for the two open posi tions. Both consented to serve if approved. Jules- Heller, dean of the Col lege ofiArt and Architecture, was out of town and could not be reached for approval of Zore tich's appointment. Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the president for stu dent affairs, would not give his approval for Campbell because he said he felt it was not necessary. Bernreuter also said that his ap proval would make it seem as if Campbell were representing him, and this is not the case.
