Denounced By Allegheny Mountain Association Hopes that Billy Sense and Nestor Eociubinsky. ivOuld be reinstated to untainted collegiate standing in the boxing ring were buoyed early this week when the 'Allegheny Mountain Association- of the Amateur Athletic Union decided to intercede in behalf "Of the' Nittany Lion mittmen, who were de slare,d4nsligple,tt collegiate boxing "ethics." Denouncing the bairing of college'athletei'ltoni. A. M. A., at its meeting in Pittsburgh Monday night, announced its deter mination to 'carry the fight. to the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing , Asso ciation in an effort to save Soose and Kociubinsky. Furthermore, the A. M. A. felt that the rule—if applied to boxers—should also apply to college swimmers, track and field men, and other college ath letes, John T. Taylor,, secretary of the association, explained.. Both boxers were jubilant when in forined of the unexpected action tak en by the A. A. "Naturally, I- hope they're success ful," Soose said. "As far as Penn State is concerned, it's an open-and shut case against us." "I'm tickled to death to hear about it," Kociubinsky stated. "I hope ev erything comes out all right. I'll be only too glad to come back to school." Meanwhile, Kociubinsky explained he expected to leave for home this morning. "Guess I'll try to get a job and come back here for the second semester," he added slowly. On all sides, however, only skepti cism greeted the A. M. A. announce ment to help Soose and Kociubinsky. Student opinion, which had grade ( ally crystallized behind the athletic eligibility committee's decision, on the grounds. that "no student is bigger than the school," charged the "A. A. U. is trying to save its face when it knows well enough it isn't. as purely ' amateurish as it says it is." Meanwhile, Neil M. Fleming, grad uate manager of athletics and form er president of the Eastern Intercol legiate Boxing. Association, doubted that anything would result from the A. A. U. appeal to the E. I. IL A. Fleming pointed out it was purely a local matter that had to be decided by local authorities. Pan-Hellenic Will Greet Students At 'Stunt Night' Panhellenic Council entertains!

Ignorance No Defense Now, Tribunal Says Board BarS Freshmen • From Using Front Wall, Walk Customs Exemptions To Be Given Tuesday • .To avoid such excuses as "I didn't know that" or "I didn't think it Meant that," the Men's Student Tribunal clarified the rules that seemed to puzzle freshmen the most. The dating law—rule No. 3 of the Men's Student Customs in the Fresh man Bible—states in part, "Freshmen 'shall not associate with co-eds within a three-mile limit of Old Main . . ." The Tribunal insists that co-eds, as there stated, implies any girl. There-1 fore freshmen arc not permitted to associate with any girl within the I three-mile limit. The board also made it clear that] the front wall is not for freshmen to I sit on nor 'is the walk for their use. Freshmen found on these prohibited areas will be prosecuted for viola tion of customs. illust Sit In East Stands Freshmen will only be admitted in the' East stands during football games and they must remain there until the completion of the contests.

A check-up revealed that only 29 freshmen failed to purchase dinks. If these freshmen have proper reasons for not wearing customs, they must appear before the next meeting of the Tribunal to be held next Tuesday at 8 o'clock in room 305, Old Main. Any one appearing on the campus after that meeting without customs and without a Tribunal exemption card will be apprehended and penalized. Meetings thereafter will be held on the first and third Tuesday of every month. Late Frosh Handbooks Arrive At. C.

Seven cars, each with three men, required six months to cover Pennsylvania's 90,000 miles of roads outside the cities. Traffic was counted at 13,000 rural road intersections throughout the state, this count being made 24 hours a day for a full year. At 422 key stations, trucks and buses were Engineering Head DR.

Another part of the project was a grant of $lO,OOO which was used (.3 study the economic life of the roads. the valtie of the right-of-ways, and the longevity of the road surfaces.
