THE REPORT shows that after the program had been in opera tion for a year, 95 per cent of Honors College freshmen sur veyed reported that information they had received before arriving here favorably presented the Hon ors College. Among freshmen in general, th« situation wus about the same The majority (70 per cent) re ported having known about the program prior to their arrival here and were only somewhat less likely to indicate that informa tion given them had been favor able to the Honors College than students enrolled in the program Students surveyed reported that a similar pattern of accept ance prevails on the campus it self When questioned about gen eral student reaction to the Hon on- College program, 70 per cent of the freshmen in the program said they thought University stu dents are favorably impressed with the Honors College. Only 7 per cent indicated they met an unfavorable reaction from stu dents. AMONG freshmen in general, 60 per cent indicated that the Honors College is well received on campus; only 12 per cent de scribed student reaction negative ly Non-honors freshmen were asked whether they would enter the Honors College if given the chance Approximately half of the freshmen not enrolled in the program indicated they would like to do so.

Some 60 World Mews In Brief Cuba Charges U.S. HAVANA (UP!)—Cuba says it has arrested 36 persons for plot ting an invasion “by counter-rev olutionists in the near future.” Cuba charged the U S Central Intelligence Agency was behind the plot.

Diem May Be Ousted SAIGON, GAHN (UP!)—Leaf lets fluttered through the streets of Saigon Sunday urging the over throw of South Viet Nam Presi dent Diem.

More ECM Talks BRUSSELS (UPI)—A show down over British entry into the European Common Market may be shaping up in Brussels where talks resume today. It appeared almost certain that France would block the entry of Britain into the trading group. But Paul Henri-Spaak, Belgian Foreign Affairs Minister, said the idea of five members of the mar ket starting talks and excluding France was worth examining. France is expected to demand the talks be suspended indefinite ly, which would mean a virtual breakdown. Eleventh hour talks have been going on in Brussels before the opening of the conference today. Britain’s Chief Negotiator, Lord Heath, promptly launched a round of separate, informal talks with all nations but France. Kennedy, K Agree WASHINGTON (UFI) — Dis armament Chief William Foster said today both President Ken nedy and Premier Khrushchev have a deep interest in ending nuclear weapons tests, indicated by their recent exchange of let ters.

Khrushchev has offered for the first time to permit two or three annual on-site inspections on Russian soil. Trouble Seen With Berlin BERLIN <L'PI)—A special mis sion to Berlin has delivered a somber report to President Ken nedy. The mission was composed of four Democratic Senators headed by Majority Leader Mike Mans field. The Senators advised the Presi dent to consider pulling some troops out of Europe, unless Eu rope contributes more forces to its own defense They also said the President should consider increased trade with the Communist bloc, in the light of Western Europe's trade with Communist Nations. The report also warned of self defeating commercial conflicts on the continent if Britain is barred from the Common Market. On Berlin . . . the report indi cated. in these words: “more, no' j less, difficulties in the future.” I AM Cease Deadlock BURBANK, CALIF. (UPI)—An eight-month deadlock between the International Association of Ma chinists (IAM) and Lockheed Air craft Corporation has been set tled. The dispute over Union Se curity issues ended today when union members accepted a man agement contract offer calling for extensive co-operation between the IM and the Aerospace giant. The final agreement ends a strike threat by some 55-thousand work ers at Lockheed-California com pany and the firm’s Missiles and Space Division and installations from Cape Canaveral to Honolulu. Cold Relief Expected CHICAGO (UPI)—Relief is ex pected today for the snow-swept Northeast. Up to a foot of snow fell today in New England. New York and Pennsylvania. New York City got five inches, its heaviest snowfall of the season. The mountains and plains states got some relief after 10 days of deep cold, but a new mass of cold air is pushing into the area and is due to spread into the Northeast after the snow. per cent of these gave a “definite yes” answer. Only 25 per cent said “probably yes.” Campus reaction to the Honors College was further tested by a question administered not only to the samples of freshmen but also to selected undergraduate opinion leaders (such as members of the ASUO Senate) and selected non faculty adult groups influential in campus affairs. The question, one of nine cam pus issues on which opinion wa.i polled, concerned a proposal “to expand the size of the Honors College so that more students can participate.” nib MAIN opposition to the proposal rame from students al ready in the program, half of whom considered it a po<r idea for fear of sacrificing the pro gram's present quality. On the other hand, a decisive majority of other groups polled approved the idea of expanding the Honors College.
