U.S., Britain Want Nuclear Ban Talks
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The United States and Britain asked Russia today to join in new talks aimed at achieving a nuclear test ban treaty. But this country made clear it reserved the right to test pending a firm agreement.
In formal notes delivered in Moscow, the two Western allies said they would be willing to meet the Russians at the conference table on or about Nov.28.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT made it known that the United States and Britain would agree to negotiate even if the Soviet tests were continuing at the time.
The State Department said in a separate statement that if the negotiations resume and the Russian nuclear tests continue, the United States "will pursue its own program of carefully circumscribed testing" until a treaty is signed.
The State Department statement left open the question of whether the United States might resume atmospheric shots. This country now is testing only underground but is making preparations for atmospheric shots if they prove necessary.
THE BRITISH-AMERICAN action was in line with a United Nations General Assembly resolution which urged a resumption of the test ban
Menghini Is ASC Write-In Hopeful
Charles Menghini, Pittsburgh senior and University Party co-chairman last year, has entered the All Student Council election as write-in candidate from the unmarried-unorganized district on a platform criticizing the "cowardly" platforms of the parties and the recent disaffiliation with NSA.
"The platforms should have had something besides non-controversial issues," he said. "Political discussion is low enough without the parties advocating this type of do-nothingness."
He criticized the University Party plank on student apathy.
"It (UP) could have taken a much larger step to solve apathy by taking a stand on at least a couple of controversial issues affecting the campus, rather than trying to get students to vote without knowing what many of the issues are," he said.
Menghini said he would introduce a bill for reaffiliation with NSA at the first ASC meeting and said he was optimistic it would pass.

talks. These have been halted since Sept. 9 after Russia began its current test series.
President Kennedy said Nov. 2 the United States was willing to sign a test ban treaty with the Soviets if it contained provisions for adequate inspection and control.

But it was in that same statement that Kennedy said the United States was making preparations to resume atmospheric testing if an evaluation of the Russian series showed this was necessary to maintain the U.S. nuclear lead.
The U.S. statement, which was not included in the note to Russia, said negotiations and an early test ban agreement "can bring a secure and permanent halt to nuclear weapons testing and assure the world that there will not be a repetition of another series of secretly prepared massive Soviet explosions."
THE FORMAL U.S. note to the Russians suggesting Nov. 28 as a date for the new talks said the United States would consider any other time which Russia might suggest for "prompt resumption" of the Geneva negotiations.
The State Department said, "If the Soviet Union earnestly desires to erase concern over health hazards—if it is in fact ready and willing to end the testing of nuclear weapons—it can do so now."
SINCE SEPT. 1, when the Russians resumed their tests, the Soviets have conducted more than 30 atmospheric shots, the State Department said.
Construction will begin next week on a new building for the School of Engineering and Architecture. It is scheduled for completion in September, 1963.

The new structure will be located northeast of the Nuclear Reactor Center, and across Naismith Drive west of Lindley Hall. It will house the departments of civil, aeronautical and electrical engineering as well as engineering mechanics.
New Building for Engineering
The aeronautical engineering department, according to Dean McNown, faces the worst housing problem. This sentiment was echoed by Ammon S. Andes, professor of areonautical engineering, who said, "We have not had adequate heat, classrooms, laboratories or offices."
"QUITE IMPORTANT to the school is the fact that the laboratories them selves and the extra space will make possible stronger programs of graduate study and research in several of the departments," John S. McNown, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said.
The department has been in a quonset hut since 1947 and has been plagued with heating problems every winter.
Prof. Andes explained that if the overhead heaters in the building were turned on students couldn't hear lectures. If they were left off, everyone froze. In contrast, in summer the building became so hot that equipment stored upstairs has been ruined.
NEXT TO FACILITIES IN THE aeronautical quonset, the worst in the school are those used by the architects in Lindley Annex, Dean McNown said. "The new building will allow them to move all teaching activity from this open barracks to Marvin Hall." he said.
The department of mechanical engineering will occupy the space which now includes the engineering laboratories behind Marvin Hall.
Rooms currently being used by the departments of civil and electrical engineering and engineering mechanics are, except for minor revisions, over 40 years old, said Dean McNown. He emphasized that old space will be usable for many purposes, but not for specialized laboratory instruction.
INCLUDED IN this new building will be a modern wind tunnel, a shock tube, and instrumentation and meteorology laboratories to replace the outdated, inadequate facilities presently being used in aeronautical engineering. Modern laboratories for circuits and electronics, solid and fluid mechanics, and structures will also be installed.
The engineering building will cost $1,900,000 according to Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor. It will consist of a two-story office and classroom wing, and a single-story laboratory section.
The outside of the structure will be covered with the same type of brick and stone that was used to cover the outside of Murphy and Summerfield Halls.
