Legislature OK's
Absentee Voting
Only 3 Votes Recorded Against
Amendment Pushed by
Ruth, Szymczak
Through . the recommendations and
active .interest of the Young Demo
cratic Club of State College, an ab
sentee •voting amendment has passed
the Legislature. to await passage ut
the next regular session for final ac
tion before appearing before the elec
torate.
Under the leadership of President
Franklin W. Ruth, jr. '39, and Secre
tary Frauds 11. Szymezak '3B; the
recommendation was sent to Senator
Frank Ruth of Berks county to be
introduced as a joint resolution and to
pass both houses with only three votes
in the negative.
Will Affect Constitution
The proposed amendment will af
fect article - eight of the constitution
in that the Legislature will provide
through a general law the manner
and the time and place at which quali
fied voters may vote. The proposal,
therefore, would provide absentee vot
ing privileges to college students who
might be unable to attend their prop
er .polling places at any election day.
,The text of the resolution grants .
itbSedee-vOtina;'rightS - ba7any
fled voter who because of his duties,
occupation, business, or physical dis
ability may be absent from his regu
lar residence.
For many years various student or
ganizations have recommended the
proposal without' success. In 1919
Such a law was passed tint it was de
clared unconstitutional because. of the
interpretation of the phrase "he of
fers to vote." The phrase was inter
preted as meaning "bodily present"
and the act was declared unconstitu
tional; therefore, the present pro
posal had to be introduced as a con
stitutional amendment.

Board Passes Up
NCAA Invitation
Eligibility Committee's Decision
Causes Refusal of Agee's'
Bid to Mitnien
An invitation for four Penn State
;boxers to 'compete. in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association cham
pionships in. California was refused
last week, the
,COLLSGINN learned dur
ing the. Easter .vacistion. •
Frank Goodman, : national light
iweight titleholder;
. Sammy Donato..
welterweight and .captain-elect; Billy
Sense, eastern .I.sspourid champion;
and- Izzi Richter, heavyweight • king,
were the. Nittany ponS invited.
Expenses, a Problem
The- California , Agett4";• hcst:;tti,the
tourney' in Sacramento, Calif., .today.
and tomorrow, wired the invitation
and offered to take tare of one-way
expenses.; Afteran exchailge of tele
grams, the Californians agreed to pay
all traveling costs, - leaving room and
board to be met.
•After 'a
meeting of the athletic
committee, composed of -.Dr. Elwood
C. Davis, of- the School , of -Physical
Education and Athletics,..as chairman;
Neil M. Fleming, graduate manager
of athletics; and Prof. Franklin
Bentley, of the, department of animal
husbandry, it was decided that the
expenses could-be met.
Eligibility Needed
Before the boxers could go, how
ever, the committee on athletic
eligi
bility had to meet. It was discovered
that in at least two of the cases, a
ten-day absence of classes would seri
ously threaten, the. scholastic stand
ing of the athletes and that it would
be advisable not to make the trip. A.
telegram was sent rejecting the offer.
None of the boxers exhibited any
real enthusiasm when asked if 4hey
would make the trip. Richter refused
outright. After a long session of sev
en dual meets and the intercollegi
ates, plus a two-week layoff and non
training period, it was :felt that little
benefit could be gained.
Bischoff Makes Study
Of Recreation Habits
Prof. Eugen C. Bischoff, of the
School of Physical 'Education and
Athletics, is snaking a study of the
recreational habits of all Penn State
alumni who have been graduated
since 1926. This research will form
the 'basis of his muster's thesis, which
he will use in his work at Ohio State.
The School plans to .use this thesis
and "other gradtiate.papers as a basis

vious graduate papers the School
knows fairly well the leisure-time ac
tivities of the doctors, :lawyers, den

Difficulties Seen
For Co-op Plan
Of Eating Place
Morse Says Numbers
Too Large, Food
Unacceptable
Leaders Still Active;
Would Cost $3 Weekly
Plans for a co-operative cafeteria
!in Irvin hall met with a slight re
versal today as administrative offi
cials were consulted by student lead
' ers of the movement and a COLLEGIAN
reporter.
Adrian 0. Morse, executive SOM.
'ary, conceded that the plan was a
good one, and that other officials con
cerned, probably including Harry W.
Loma!), purchasing agent, and Sam
uel K. Hostetter, treasurer, would al
so he in favor, if certain details could
be worked out..
Specifically, Mr. Morse said the co
' operative arrangement could not work
with so many students involved.
Those living in the men's dormitor
ies number 288, while the plan was
proven successful with only eighty. A
program where nearly :300 would ro
tate in sharing the work would be im
possible to work out, Mr. Morse
states!.
Food Another Question
Another point to be considered is
the choice of food for the cafeteria.
For 'the money provided, only a
straight, simple menu could be used.
This would not be acceptable to all the
students, Mr. Morse said, although
e'ghty hard-wcrking, men could prob
ably agree.
Although cooking utensils are on
hand in Irvin hall, holdovers from
the days of athletic subsidy, snore
would be needed. Also, dishes and
other equipment would have to be
bought. Just who would pay for these
is another matter to be settled. .
MeithWhile: 'I deli; of — the'move-
ment in Watts, Freer, and Irvin dor
mitories continued to circulate peti
tions' which will be presented to Col
lege officials. A thorough discussion
of the whole problem will be made in
the near future, Mr. Morse said.
The co-operative plan would have
the students contribute $3 weekly, ac
counting for the remainder of the ex
pense by sharing kitchen and dining
room duties. The only hired help
would be cooks.

Building Program
Awaits Approval
Amount of I'R'A Appropriation
Delayed Through Indecision
Of State Authority
It was hard to determine the status
of the College building program to
day as the State Authority remained
'n its huddle to decide just how many
PWA funds will come the College's
way. President Ralph D. Hetzel and
Treasurer Samuel K. Hostetter have
•cent much - of their time recently . in
Harrisburg in conferences.
'But it was expected that the amount
would L•e determined. shortly, perhaps
beforellta - end of the'-week. It was'
not expected that a time limit for the
completion of any buildings from a
hoped-for six and one-half million
dollar grant would be made.
All construction, save that of the
women's dormitory, will be under the
~ u perv:sion of the State Authority,
an agency
,set up by the legislature
to remove any legal difficulties in se
curing and administering PWA funds
from the national government.
College Will Submit Plans
Once a definite amount of money is
allocated, the list of buildings can be
approved. The College will submit
plaits and specifications of what it de
sires. The state's architect will draw
the plans to be approved by the Au
'hority, the College, and the PWA.
Then work will be started as soon as
contracts are let. It"was not expect
ed that any actual construction would
begin before summer.
It is hoped that the buildings, if
there be more than one, will be built
cne at a time, and not all at once. It
is thought that the central wing of
the Liberal Arts building will be the
first on the program.
But nothing concrete can be done
until the amount of money is deter
mined. Then, it was indicated, plans
would be rushed.
Duke Dean of Religion
