Class Advisory Board chair
man was appointed Under
graduate Student Govern
ment elections comission

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

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.

To Insure Fair Housin
U.S. Set To Back
Minnesota Laws
WASHINGTON (fP) Robert C. 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.
The agreement covers three

The Board of Trustee.; has appointed a
Director of Broadcasting to supervise the oper
ation of VHF Channel 3, expected to be
awarded to the University in the immediate
future.
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.
IcAtance by the FCC of a permit to con
struct and operate a station has been expected
on a day-to-day basis for about two weeks.

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

until sometime today

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."

said.

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

problem.
'There certainly is enough
room on campus for two such
organizations," he said.
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

Heyman, in his letter, said he
had stopped in Prince Edward
