Osterlund Cites Drastic Changes senior Class President Suggests Proposal To Decentralize • Student Government, Drastic. proposals for revision of Men's Student Government were sug gested at the meeting last Thursday called by Senior Class President Frank A. Ostcrlund to discuss the flaws in the present government sys: tem. Perhaps the most fundamental was the proposal to decentralize govern ment here by having separate student councils for each • School, with one central council, made up of represen tatives from each of the small groups, Ito deal wills all general student prob lems. Advantages of this plan are: 1) Each School would thereby' have a representative group to discuss and. act uPon matters that are peculiar to it. 2) There would be a closer contact between students and student offi cers. 3) The central student council would be more truly representative a the student body. Permanent Code Approved Another important proposal was that each recognized party be, alloted I an :equal .amount of money from the Interclass Fltianee budget for cam paign purposes. This could -be. spent as they pleased, but would be super vised by the Elections Committee. Each party must now provide its own funds and this leads- to "patronage" problems following elections. Another suggestion was for•a per manent Elections Code embodying all the proposals which' have had general approval. This code could be amended by Student Council and administered by the Elections Committee. Approve Platform Idea In addition to making these new suggestions the meeting approved several other changes which have been advocated recently. It was agreed that issues should be injected into campus politics by the adoption of a platform by each party. They also favored an open mass-meeting at which time all candidates would be given an opportunity to speak. Other suggested changes were in the composition of Student Board, in the method of distributing freshman dinks, and the calling of a class meet ing to explain student government to all entering freshmen. 150 Students Attend Opening of `Nite Club' Pour hundred and fifty students attended the opening of the "Satur day 'Night Club."

Officials of the Eastern Inter collegiate 'Boxing 'Association, showing poor judgment in .mak ing the draw, inefficient- con ducting of the entire tourney, and obvious.partiallty, did more to halt the. popularity of the ring sport Saturday-than since its inception over nineteen years ago. Six Penn State bOxers, with three receiving championships, established themselves as the east's . hest as Syr actise took team honors - with 25 points to 25 for the Lioni at the fourteenth annual tournament at Syracuse Fri.. day and Saturday.

The 165-pound battle between Cap tain Lou Ritzie, of Penn State, and Ord Fink, Orange 155-pound Nation al champion, was the turning point of the meet. State had seven men ad vanced from the preliminaries and this semi-final clash settled•the final supremacy. The Saturday afternoon bout was a repetitiOn of the dual meeting a month ago. Ritzie . gave the wild swinging Fink a thorough boxing les son, meeting round-houses with left jabs and blocking. Giving the per fect example of ideal college boxing, where "skill and speed wins over sheer strength," Ritzie seemed head ed to a crown which escaped his grasp last year. The decision went to Fink. Great Exhibitions Goodman and Richter, winding, up their college careers, put on great ex hibitions of ring technique as they easily retained their crowns. Meet ing Zucarro, of Syracuse, in the fi nal, Goodman avenged his dual meet defeat. Frankie proved he was a real Champion as he mastered Zucarro. The Lion National king used his counter-right to stop the wild rushes of his opponent and left jabbed to gain a wide edge. • Richter took his third win over Brown in six meetings, two of which were draws, to definitely, establish heavyweight supremacy. His tremen dous left hook repeatedly rocked the 235:pound Brown, an d overhead rights finished the performance. Until midway in the second round, Billy Some concentrated ow chasing Art McGivern, Syracuse captain. Mc- Givern turned from slugger to run ner for the evening and managed to evade Souse until cornered. A few uppercuts•led to the end. In the third round, both men were handiCapped by a wet canvas. Soose finally pummel ed illeGivern until the latter knelt in defeat after• 1:35. Sammy Donato had another chase on his bands against Johnny Alas ti•ella, of Syracuse. Sammy used his left jab to 'render Mastrolla groggy after catching him .in the corners. The decision went to Mastrolla, Count ed on supposed fouls from rubbing glove laces over Mastrolhi's face. It was "Me first defeat in the east for Donato. The closest decision of the tourney came in the 125-pound final between Tapmnn .and Carl Sorenson, of Syr acuse.. The Lion sophomore took the offensive at the opening bell and floor ed Sorenson with a right midway in the session.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Matmen Break Intercollegiate Scoring Record Light Gains 3rd Title; 4 Others Garner Championships By FRANCIS H. SZYMCZAK Breaking its own record set in 1918 by one point, Penn State's wrestling team took the thirty-third annual tournament of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association on Fri: day and Saturday by scoring 35 points and boasting five cham pions in Aldo Zazzi, 135; Jack Light, 145; Joseph. Krupa, 165; Ross Sharer, 175; and Captain Joe O'Dowd, heavyweight. Princeton trailed State with 25 points, while Lehigh's Engineers fin ished third with 18, The Engineers had not finished lower than second since 1925, when they were third. Light and Rudy Ashman of .Lehigh accomplished a feat that no one had done since 1927 When they both won their third EIWA titles. Chuck Pow ers, the Tigers' surprise winner, was awarded the coathes' cup for the most finished wrestler because of his vic tory over Dick Bishop, former Lehigh 155-pound titleholder. Eighth Title for Stale Being State's second consecutive team " championship, the Nittany wrestlers are , one up'.on' :Lehigh With eight wins since their entry in the association in 1918: Cornell leads the teams with eleven championships, al though it was the only team to finish this year's tournament without scor ing a single point. With the failure of Freddy Steg limier and Johnny -Craighead to sur vive the tough competition in the.llB and 126-pound clashes, State was un able to score a point until Al Zazzi defeated Baltzell of Cornell by a time advantage of 7:58. In the nabs, Zazzi threw Frost of Columbia with a double bar in 2:10. The finals pitted Zaizi against his toughest op ponent, Perry of Princeton, but Al gained a 1:48 time advantage to win the 135-pound title. Perry garnered second place while Deme of-Syracuse came in third. Light drew Walker of Yale in ,the first round competition and scored his first fall of the season by using a cradle. in throwing his opponent in 8:55 minutes. In the semi-finals, Jack faced Becker of Syracuse, who drew with him in their dual meet. Light scored a decisive five-minute time ad vantage to enter the finals against the much-publicized Taylor of Penn. It was a nip -and-tuck affair with Jack showing his superiority by scor ing a time advantage of 2:50 to win the 145-pound crown: Taylor placed second while 'Becker took third. Calvin Takes Third The. 155-pound classic' saw Bishop "overpowered" by Powers who clock ed 2:14 minutes to win. In the semi finals, Johnny Calvin slipped into a helf-nelson to be thrown by Bishop in 1:05 minutes. Bishop took' second place while Calvin netted referee de cisions over Gertmanian of Syracuse and Woodman cf Harvard. The Woodman-Calvin bout was the last display of wrestling during the tour nament, and Johnny broke the nine teen-year record by adding the third place point to State's total of ;14 that paralleled the existing record. This was the only point that State scored in the consolation bouts. State's domination was complete from the 765-pound class to the heavyweight finale. Joe Krupa met Still of Penn in his first round and wen by a full with a crotch and leg hold in 4: 11. .Meanwhile Ford, after throwing Crist of Syracuse, gained the finals by defeating the pre-tour nament favorite titleholder, "Mouse" Emory of Princeton. Krupa clocked fi:ln minutes of time advantage over Muldoon of Columbia ,to enter the fi nals. The Ford-Krupa contest was close with Ford riding Joe while the latter rolled in precarious positions to maneuver Ford into a half-nelson and scissors for a fall in 7:32. Mul doon of Columbia scored by a default from Pord who automatically placed third. Ross Shaffer, high scorer for State with eight points, gained falls over (Continued on page four),
