Weather Forecast: Mostly Cloudy, Windy, Cold VOL. 65, No. 57 inaugural Festivities Continue WASHINGTON (IT) Dignitaries and Democrats— even some Republicans—trekked the town in festive mood last night through a swirl of events heralding the presidential inauguration of Lyndon B. Johnson at noon today. Johnson kept tinkering on his inaugural address and 1 then joined the merrymakers. For 50 minutes he crunched his way through a crushing crowd at a reception honoring governors. He had handshakes and a word for each state executive and occasionally a kiss on the cheek for the womenfolk. The reception was held in the ballroom of the Sheraton- Park Hotel with boxes for the governors arranged alphabeti.l cally by states around the rim. Skips Reception Ky Rejects Vietnamese Youth Post SAIGON, South Viet Nam (W) Brig. Gen. Nguyen Cao Ky rejected a Cabinet appoint ment yesterday, preferring his command of the Vietnamese air force to a seat on the Sai gon political merry-go-round. Another crisis may be in the making. Premier Tran Van Huong postponed the swearing-in ceremony that was formally to add Ky and three other young generals to his previously all civilian administration. This represented a hitch in a reshuffle that a U.S. spokes man described Monday as "a positive and helpful step to ward a stable government." Youth and Sports Ky was supposed to become minister of youth and sports, a new post created specially for him. His rejection of the appoint ment was viewed with special gravity because the appoint ments were a subject of con cern to the military council of Lt. Gen. Nguyen Khanh, the ex-premier who commands the Vietnamese armed forces. Khanh presided over meet ings of the council at Cap St. Jacques, 40 miles southeast of Saigon, that decided on who would receive the Cabinet posts. Three of the nominees were reported to have had no objection. Resign Dulles Ky's acceptance would have been tantamount to resigna-i tion from air force duties, in) which he has been a spectacul lar figure. He was a leader of loyal forces that thwarted a military uprising against the. Khanh administration here last Sept. 13. The rebels gave up after he threatened to bomb their positions. Ky went into conference with his aides at his Saigon airport headquarters after no tifying Chief of State Phan Khac Suu that he was turn ing down the ministry. Command of the air force gives him pivotal influence in the power maneuvers among South Viet Nam's military leaders. Research May End Coal Refuse Heaps Coal refuse, mountainous banks of waste material from mining, has plagued the coun tryside of Pennsylvania for al most a century. Now a research' project, centered in the De partment of Mineral Sciences is close to eliminating those unsightly heaps. One hundred forty such ref use banks are burning in vary ing degrees in the northern and southwestern parts of the state adding a "gloomy buga boo" to these coal mining ,re gions. Some of them have been burning for half a century. The , "gob" piles or "culm" banks, as they are called, pour thousands of tons of pollutants into the air each year. In the fall of 1962 the De partment of Mineral Science under the direction of H. Beecher Charmbury undertook, a request by the department of Health, Education, and Wel fare to work on a new ap proach to eliminate the . air pollution. Leaving Penn State to be come Pennsylvania's Secretary of Mines, Charmbury put the project into the hands of James K. Kindig, research engineer in the department. Pilot Plant Near the small mining town of Barnesboro in Cambria County a pilot plant was com pleted this month, utilizing the methods of Charmbury and Kindig. •From these hazardous piles 50 tons of refuse per hour is being eliminated by a process that uses a "heavy" liquid to separate usable high-ash coal ) from non-burnable rock. 1 In illustrating the concept of a "heavy" liquid Kindig ( compared the solution to one of water and fine powder. When a handful of iron filings and sawdust is thrown into the solution, the front will sink to the bottom. "We' do the same thing with coal and stone," Kindig explained.

On the way back to the White House, Johnson de toured to the Shoreham Hotel for a reception honoring his vice president-elect, Hubert H. Humphrey. Before he got there someone remembered the party didn't start until later, so Johnson skipped that affair. Before going to the tradi tional inaugural concert at Constitution Hall given by the National Symphony Orchestra, he stopped by a dinner at the State Department for digni taries in the field of arts. Thousands of other celebra-1 tors who started the social prowl early had their pick of dozens of levees, matinees and soirees—if they had the in clination and the right invita-1 tions and tickets. There is no prospect of a I repeater blizzard like the eight-inch snow storm that whipped into the capitol four years ago. Yesterday was fair and cold. Today: some cloudi ness, temperature in the mid dle 30s, 15 to 20 mile winds out of the northwest. Glass Barrier More than 5,000 police, Se cret Service men, U.S. mar shals, troops and National Guardsmen will be spotted strategically around town to guard the President's life. A bulletproof glass barrier has been erected across the in augural platform in front of the Capitol, to match another already in place in the pavil ion in front of the White House from which Johnson will review the inaugural parade. Three days of celebrating, come to an end tonight at what the committee calls the inaugural ball, even though it has been whacked up into five sections to take care of more than 25,000 persons. The biggest affair will bring about ,half the crowd to the National Guard Armory, where a wrecking crew worked fran tically to turn what was a sort of theater for a gala variety show Monday night into a sort of dance hall. pleted by September, 1966. Future plans for the plant will be to evaluate the tech nical aspects of the process, which Kindig remarked as being "fairly simple." The researchers will also study the economics of oper ating such a plant. "Fifty tons an hour is a pretty good stream, but it's actually just a bench scale operation to what the coal companies will be doing when they start op erations," Kindig noted. The research director re-' fused to estimate the sum of such an operation to the coal companies, but he said if it were too expensive "the proj ect would be a tremendous, loss to them." Eliminate Dust The basic aim of the project' was to eliminate dust and smoke particles from the air. "However more directly, since the coal companies will be doing the major job of refuse elimination we have to make the operation economically justifiable to entice the coal companies," Kindig explained. Former research director Charmbury said the new pro cess could be a benefit to eco nomic-stricken Appalachia by elimination of burning piles thus improving the industrial climate, and elimination of the piles as "eyesores" and sources of disagreeable odors.

IFC Scholarship Honors Forester As an example of the Inter fraternity Council's increased' emphasis on academic per formance, the organization is sponsoring a scholarship hon oring a former faculty advisor. According to Edward Ablard, IFC vice president and schol arship chairman, $lOO of IFC's funds are designated each term for the Kent Forester scholarship. Ablard described Forester as "greatly interested in for eign affairs and foreign stu dents." Thus the funds were Slavery Revived In Simmons Being a slave can be fun. It may not have been true 100 years ago but it was last night at a slave auction and mixer held at Simmons recreation room. The men from Pollock B and the women from Simmons coordinated the event in Which 11 women and six men were auctioned off. A total of $19.33 was raised which will be do nated to charity. The bidding was handled by a professional auctioneer. Each slave wore 'a sheet and a veil to cover his or her faces during the bidding. Bids 'ranged from seven cents to $4. After the auction a mixer was held at which time the slaves were at their masters' corn mand. One senior resident volun teered to be a slave and got down on her hands and knees and swept the floor with a toothbrush. Another slave was told to climb a wall but she refused. Even when her mas ter showed how it was to be, done, she held out. Approxi mately 250 persons attended lthe event. Social chairmen were Thom-I as Marlow (2nd - education-1 1 Oreland); David Steinberg (10th - arts and letters - Phila delphia), James Coffman (11th secondary education-Oil City) • 1 and Beverly Brasof (2nd-lib eral arts-Drexel Hill). Prof Receives Glass Grant The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company has awarded a grant to Vincent L. Pass, assistant professor of architectural en gineering, for a research proj ect dealing with solar trans mission and low temperature radiation from fiber glass draperies. Pass and Kenneth Pukita, a graduate student in archi-' tectural engineering, are work ing to determine the solar heat loss of a room when there are inside shading devices in com bination with a glass area. The grant, which was origi nally for the period from September to December, 1964, has been extended through the winter. Pass was on leave r from his teaching duties last term and completed a report which was sent to the Pitts burgh Plate Glass , Company. This work summarizes the experimentation that he , _has carried on during the past two summers concerning quanti tative aspects of solar radia-1 tion control.• The work is being carried 'out at the Solar Ef fects Research Building on east campus. UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1965 By KATHY CASE marked for awards to the Uni versity's international stu dents. The recipient is selected on the basis of his need, scholar ship, activities and personality, Ablard said. Applications Available Applications are now being accepted by the IFC in co operation with the Interna tional Student Affairs office. The scholarship, which has been in existence almost a decade, is awarded four times a year to a needy international student at the University. The grant was esTablished - to honor the retirement of Fore ster as the organization's ad visor. He is currently profes sor of European history. Forester's duties were as sumed by an Assistant Dean of Men for Fraternity Affairs when he retired, because of the increasing demands and responsibilities attached to the office.

Swedish Education Analyzed Sweden's five nationaruniver sities have no voice in the selec tion of their students, Torsten Hagerstrand, visiting geography lecturer, said- in an Anterview yesterday. Hagerstrand, comparing t h e Swedish educational organization with the American system, Said university entrance is deter mined by a student's perform ance at the "gymnasium." a three-year preparatory school equivalent to the American sec ondary school plus freshman and sophomore years at a col lege or university. All Swedish children are re quired to attend school until the age of 16, Hagerstrand said. Stu ; dents may then prepare for uni versity work at the three-year ,gymnasium or spend one, two or three years at a trade school to 'obtain some specialized skill for more immediate employment.. Very High Quality The quality of teachers in the gymnasium, Hagerstrand noted, is "very high with .the majority holding doctorate degrees.' Stu: dents must have a working knowledge of English, German and French, in addition to Swed ish, to attend a university. Ap proximately 12 to 15 per cent of the age group eligible to attend a university continue their edu cation. The number of male and female students if about equal. Hagerstrand said "a student is a student" and discrimihation due to sex is unheard of in Swedish educational circles. . After preparing students' for the higher academic life of a university, the gymnasium se lects the students who are' qual ified •to attend a university' by examinations, similar to' ,the American college boards. Students who are qualified are then permitted to choose any one. of the five universities, giv ing the university no-say in the selection of its• students. How ever, most students are of equal ability because the Swedish-sys tem is highly standardized, Hageistrand commented. - No Textbooks The universities do not use textbooks, but student's are given a reading list 'for each area 6f study. The reading lists are more suggestions than requirementi, indicating what the student is Supposed to know about the 'Sub ject.
