Dranov, who replaces Mark Schwarz as chairman, will serve during the special elec tions slated for Jan. 27, when six vacant USG seats and two additional town seats will be filled. CM== USG President George Jack son was given congressional approval to appoint a chairman at Tuesday night's meeting. with the understanding that Congress could remove Jack son's appointee in the spring if he proved unsatisfactory. Jackson said Dranov can gain experience during the small election campaign this month, for the full-scale spring elec tions. Nominations for the election may be made by the three political parties Sunday night. Posters listing the candidates will not be used in this elec tion. In other Congressional busi ness, John German (town) was elected Rules Committee chair man to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of George Gordon (town). Gordon said he submitted his resignation be cause he wished to devote more time to other activities. The Rules Committee screens all bills before placing them on the agenda and rules on all excuses submitted by congress men for absences. NTL Report In a report to Congress, Su san Dyer, chairman of USG Leadership Development Com mittee, said that response to the National Training Labora tory, held at the University Dec. 13 to 15, was received from 60 of the 72 student par ticipants. Participants were asked to write an evaluation of the pro gram, rating the extent to which they gained increased awareness of personal charac teristics, on a one to five scale. Twenty-nine gave a rating of one, and 21 rated it two. Eight students rated it three, while ratings of four and five, re-1 ceived one vote each. While Miss Dyer said she felt the program definitely im proved her ability over that which she could receive by participating in student activi ties at the University, the pro gram could be entirely evalu ated only in long-range terms. NTL follow-up sessions will run once a week from Jan. 23 to Feb. 27. Cost for Sessions Cost of the laboratory ses-1 sions was approximately $32 per person, or $2,271. Partici pants from USG, Interfrater nity Council, Association of Women Students and Panhel lenic Council attended the ses sions. Jackson also reported that a bill passed by Congress Oct. 17 to change the status of the Penn State Student Scholar ship Fund has run into legal complications. The original proposal was to invest part of the principal of a $51,000 trust fund with the United Student Aid Funds, Inc. This organization allows loans up to 13 times the amount of principal invested in order to bolster faltering funds for stu dent loans and scholarships. The specifics of the trust fund are that only the interest may be used for scholarships. The principal may not be trans ferred from the trust fund for any reason. Jackson adde'd that the situation is still being in vestigated. Shaheen To Hold Tryouts for Play Tryouts for Jean-Paul Sar tre's play "No Exit" will be held at 7 p.m. tonight and to morrow night in the Little Theatre. Old Main. The play. a thesis produc tion of theatre arts graduate student Jack Shaheen, will be produced Feb. 20. 21 and 22 in the Little Theatre. First produced in 1944 in France during the German oc cupation, "No Exit" tells of three damned characters in their own hell The French existentialist's one-act p 1 a y opened right before D-Day. ndrio of Indonesia warned against that country might bring a complete change in its policy of nonalignment—pre sumably meaning a swing to the Communist bloc. Subandrio's statement was in reference to economic measures he accused the British of tak ing against Indonesia. But it also would apply to reports that Indonesia risks loss of U.S. aid unless it calls off its cam paign to wreck the British sponsored federation of Malay sia. Referring to a decision by the British government in Hov,g Kong to halt licenses for the export of certain strategic goods to Indonesia, Subandrio declared: "If this measure, proves to be the beginning of a general offensive, we will have to make an over-all re view of the whole situation after President Sukarno re turns home from his tour." Johnson's Concern Before leaving Washington on his peace mission for Presi dent Johnson, Kennedy told reporters: "I hope to be able to stress President Johnson's concern at what would occur if there is a failure to work out a solution, and how concerned this government would be if a solution is not found." A spokesman said the United States requested the meeting and Sukarno brought no pro posals on the Malaysian contro versy. Meeting Tonight The first meeting between Kennedy and Sukarno will take place tonight or tomor row morning, informed sources said. Kennedy played a trouble shooting role once before in Asia. He met Sukarno in Jakar ta in 1962 and helped to per suade Indonesia and the Neth erlands to settle their dispute 1 over West New Guinea. The Dutch turned over West New Guinea to Indonesia last May. Informed sources here said Kennedy will meet with Su karno after conferring with Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda and other Japanese govern ment leaders. Sukarno vowed to crush the federation of Malaysia when it was created last fall out of Malaya, Singapore and the Bor neo states of Sarawak and Sabah. He refused to recognize the federation, declared a trade boycott and openly supported infiltrators who attacked the southern borders of the Borneo states.

Weaver, U.S. housing administrator, announced yesterday a model agreement with Minnesota designed to put federal teeth into enforcement of the state's fair housing law. The pact would provide for federal sanctions for violations of state laws. In many cases, this would permit the federal government to act where it now is powerless under the limited provisions of the executive order against racial discrithination in hous ing. Expects Others Weaver said the federal government expects to reach similar agreements soon with the 11 other states that have; I no-discrimination laws. When the agreements all are signed, Weaver said, nearly 41 per cent of the nation's total population and 25 per cent of the Negro population will be affected. Other states with fair hous ing laws that affect urban re newal, public housing and pri vate residences are Alaska, California, Connecticut, Colo rado, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Penn sylvania. Most of the state laws al ready provide penalties, usual ly a fine or a jail sentence or both. Aid Withdrawal Under the agreement, the federal government could exact additional penalty by with drawing its financial assistance. The agreement applies only on federally assisted housing pro jects. Informally, this type of co- I operation has been going on, for some time, Weaver said, but the new agreement provides for systematic exchange of in formation about new projects, new housing loans and viola tions. For example, housing auth orized before the late Presi , dent John F. Kennedy signed) the order Sept. 20, 1962, does not come under the order. If such housing is involved in a violation of state law, full sanction can be invoked under the Minnesota agreement.

Marlowe D. Froke. associate professor of journalism, was named to the new post Sat urday. He will retain his academic rank. Froke's appointment is consistent with the University's announced intention to "build an adequate staff and organization based on the trained and competent people who are now members of the University. " The selection and appointment of a person to head broadcasting activity is also expected to facilitate achievement of the goal of begin ning broadcasting seven months after the assignment of Channel 3. Froke will be responsible to the Vice Pres ident for Resident Instruction, John R. Rackley. Thus far, planning for the ETV facility has been in the hands of a special com mittee. With the preparation and submission of the channel application to the Federal Com munications Commission and grant applica tions to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the state Department of Public Instruction, the committee's basic task was accomplished.

Warmer Trend Will Continue Today,Tonight Subzero readings were re corded over most of the state yesterday morning. The Univer sity weather station with a low of 5 above had the mildest read ing in the state. It was 2 above in Philadelphia and well below zero in most other areas. Milbrook. which is about one mile east of the Uni versity, reported a low of 10 below zero. Near zero readings were ex pected again this morning, but the trend toward higher after noon temperatures, which began yesterday, should continue today and a high of 32 is expected. Flurries Possible There 'may be some afternoon cloudiness and possibly a few snow flurries late today and to night. Tonight's low will be about 18. A storm in Texas will probably move eastward, and its associ ated precipitation pattern is like ly to remain south of the Com m o n we alt h. There is some chance, however, that the storm will turn northward tonight and bring snow to Pennsylvania to morrow. The future movement of this storm will depend on the extent of change in the upper wind pattern, which won't be known until sometime today Will Aid Achievement of Goal FOR A BETTER PENN STATE MRC Plans Regional Conference The University will host a conference of approxi mately 40 North Atlantic region residence halls coun cils April 10 to 12 to formu late plans for joining the National Association of Col lege and University Residence Halls.

Canal Crisis Talks To egin WASHINGTON (IP) The United States was reported ready yesterday to dis cuss its Panama Canal treaty rights and Panama to resume diplomatic relations with the United States. These developments followed an agreement reached in Panama early yesterday The two governments agreed to name representatives "to discuss without limita tions all existing matters of any nature which may affect the relations between the United States and Panama." Talks are supposed to begin within 30 days after resumption of diplomatic relations broken by Panama last Friday. The agreement was aimed at ending the crisis that erupted last week over Panamanian rights to fly its flag in the Canal Zone. Twenty-three were killed and more than 200 wounded in rioting and demonstrations by mobs that invaded the U.S.-con trolled Canal Zone. State Department press officer Richard I. Phillips was ques tioned by newsmen on whether the language of the agreement meant the United States had a, Lgreed to talk about the treaty under which it holds its canal rights in perpetuity. Discuss Treaty "I think we would be prepared to discuss the treaty as a matter which affects relations between the United States and Panama," he said. Phillips did not use the word negotiate, and there were strong indications t h e United States was not committing itself to gotiations on any question under the new accord, but would listen! to any and all Panamanian de-; mands, including those forj changing the treaty. In Panama, Foreign Minister Galileo Solis said Panama was standing by the term "negocia clones" negotiations used in the official Spanish text of the agreement in reference to out standing issues, including the canal. The word "discussions" was used in the English trans lation of the agreement. Maintain Control The United States has stated previously it would not yield its basic control over the canal. The talks could get under way quickly. Enrique Tejera Paris, chairman of a five-member Or ganization of American States group that helped work out the new agreement, said Panamani an officials told him diplomatic relations would be resumed in' the next few days. He said the Panama Canal treaty would be the key issue in the talks and indicated commer cial activities within the Canal IZone and places for flying the U.S. and Panamanian flags there side by side would also be discussed. President Johnson took a per sonal hand in preparing the final instructions to the chief U.S. ne gotiator in Panama, diplomat Edwin M. Martin. The reception the agreement will receive in Congress is un certain. There is strong senti ment there for a firm stand against Panama.

McCoy Says Others Will Follow Move to Drop Frosh Sports By IRA MILLER Assistant Sports Editor Athletic Director Ernest McCoy said yesterday that he thought the end of competitive freshman sports was "inevitable" not only at Penn State, but throughout the East. Discussing Monday's cancellation of freshman schedules in basketball and gymnastics, McCoy said he would meet within a mor with the athletic directors of Pi Syracuse and West Virginia discuss the future of their fre: man programs. McCoy also said that fres man football is the only spot which he considers permanent' dropped at this time. He empl sized that the decision to cam the sport was made by t coaches and not by the athlf department. Idea Two Years Old The football coaches first proached McCoy about dropp the frosh football schedule t years ago but this fall will the first time no games a scheduled. McCoy will meet with athh. directors Frank Carver of Pi 'Jim Decker of Syracuse and Eli ert "Rcd" Brown of West 'V ginia to determine their feelit on freshman scheduling. TI meeting will probably be 13( in Pittsburgh before Feb. 15. With the cancellation of foi ball and the loss, at least t his year, of basketball and gymnastics, Penn State is further along than any of the other schools toward cancellation of i competitive action for freshmen. Pitt Interested But Pitt also seems interested in the idea of complete abolition and West Virginia will likely go along with whatever State and Pitt decide. If some policy is formulated, it is likely that many other Eastern schools will quick ly fall in line. The major stumbling block toward complete agreement at the moment seems to be Syra cuse's reluctance toward cancel ing its freshman program. Decker, who took over the athletic directorship when Lew Andreas retired Jan. 1, feels strongly about continuing Syra cuse's present position. "The coaches and the trustees would prefer to continue the pro gram as it is, and I assume this is what will happen," Decker said yesterday. "Each school has different problems. Penn State has the geographical factor and Pitt the trimester system to contend with, but we are in a good situation and would like to keep it that way." Strasbourg To End Special English Classes PartiEipants in the 1964 Study Abroad Program attend ing the University of Stras bourg will, for the first time. be integrated into regular classes at the French univer sity as the result of a special arrangement between the in stitution and Penn State, Dago bert de Levie, program direc tor, announced yesterday. The 39 students selected for the French program will at tend classes with European students and be instructed by the regular faculty. All classes will be in French. The students will be attend ing L'lnstitut D'Etudes Fran caises Modernes. a branch of the University of Strasbourg. Courses will be in French language, literature and civi lization. In the past. Study Abroad students have attended special classes conducted in English at the three European universi ties in the program. This ar rangement will continue at the. Universities of Cologne and Salamanca at least for this year, de Levie said. The students will leave March 31 from John F. Ken nedy International Airport New York for 10 weeks of study in Europe. Language placement tests will be given to students in France to deter mine the type of class in whichi they will be enrolled, de Leviel said. FIVE CENTS ERNEST McCOY Andreas, on the other hand, was more on the fence and might have been willing to go along with a "four-power pact." He said he had discussed the issue with McCoy several times over the past few years but that noth ing had materialized. McCoy said he thought drop ping of competition for the frosh (Continued on page four) 45 Students Join SURE, Donate $56 The Student Union for :Racial Equality enrolled 45 members and collected $56 in membership fees and do nations at its first member ship meeting Tuesday nigh t. SURE president James Conaham said yesterday. The group is raising money to support former SURE president Jacob Heyman and other Uni versity students who will work in voter registration drives in the South. The fund drive for downtown Sate College, original ly planned for this week, has been delayed until at least next Monday, Conaham said. • Pleased With Drive The SURE president expressed satisfaction with the membership and fund drive to date.

Conaharn said he has received his first letter from Heyman. The former SURE president is now in Atlanta, Ga.. awaiting an assignment at the headquarters of the Student Non-Violent Co ordinating Committee, which is spearheading the voter registra tion drive. Virginia Stop-Over Heyman, in his letter, said he had stopped in Prince Edward County, Va., while hitchhiking south to talk to civil rights leadors there.
