Next Collegian Issue— December 4 Hopes Fade For Orange Bowl Bid -" The great mystery of the year, "Who is going -to the Orange Bowl," is still unravelled as this is being written and while •Penn Staters continue to hope for a bid to the Florida classic, chances for the invitation to come to State Col lege grow dimmer and dimmer. - Unless the wire is on its way now, Lion followers can cancel all plans for a Miami wardrobe and prepare for the usual cold and windy Pennsylvania New Year's. • When prospects for a post sea son tame were killed by the Lions' stunning upset at the hands of the Pitt Panthers in the season's finale, unusual circumstances brought - State back into the limelight Mon day as a presbectlve Orange Bowl participant. Mississippi State had already been picked by the powers that be, to be the host team but an unnamed northern eleven took a last minute runout powder in favor of a more lucrative offer. That left only three possible opponents for Miss. State: George town, Lafayette and Penn State, according to dispatches from the winter resort. No official "feeler" had been received by Lion auth orities since the Pitt defeat. With the Hoyas slated to battle Santa `Clara in a Christmas Day clash on the Pacific Coast, hopes again burned bright for the Lions as the Leopards' weak schedule made it easy for biased observers to elim inate them from, consideration. But, the wheels of fortune spun again and left State holding the bag. The Georgetown-Santa Clat'a fracas fell through yesterday and the capital city eleven is now very mucK the — rtinnine:for the Orange Bowl' invitation, having only a 19-18 setback by powerful Boston Ccillege against them. Boro May Suspend Use Of Meters State College drivers may get a pre-Christmas gift if a plan to dis continue operation of parking meters from December 11 through ChriSrmas Day goes through. The idea was suggested by Charles Schlow, representing a number of businessmen, at the regular meeting of the borough council Monday night. Mr. Schlow pointed out that the meters are detrimental to business during the Christmas shopping season when shoppers usually spend -more than the one hour permitted by the meters, searching for Christmas gifts. Members of the council were all favorable to the plan. Mr. Schlow was asked to contact the business men and get some sort of printed covers for rthe meter heads. Coun cilman 'H. L. Stuart, chairman of the police committee, will contact Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell on the plan. Details will be completed in the near future.

Betty H. Christman '44. and Margaret K. Sherman '43 were an nounced last night as candidates 'for Harvest Ball Queen. Final choice of the Queen will be made by student ballot. Voting started yesterday at Student Union and will continue until Friday. As publicity for the dance all Ag students will wear overalls on the campus today and tomorrow, Thomas C. Backenstose '4l, dance chairman, said. He stressed the fact. that Harvest Ball will be a costume dance as in previous years. The dance will 'be in •the Armory from 9 to 12 p.m. The Players show will violate a custom of many years standing— not having a play in December. The reason for this, according to Director Frank S. Neusbaum, is that "Family Portrait" ties in per fectly with the spirit of Christmas. The play is a picture of Jesus as seen through the eyes of His fam ily and friends. Jesus, Himself, is not represented on the stage. 'Mrs. Lucetta Kennedy is starred in the production as Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalen, the other leading part, is played by Aimee L. Sobbott '42. "Family Portrait" first appeared in: New York during the 1938-39 season and was selected as one of the 10 best plays of the season. The play will 'be held in Schwab Auditorium and will start at 8:30 pm both days. Tickets are priced at 50 cents each and are on sale at Student Union. All seats are re served.

Edward Wagner '4l, presid ent of the local Interfraternity Council was elected chairman of the' Eastern Undergraduate IFC at its conference Friday arid Satur day in New York. The conference was held in conjunction with the National Graduate Conference. Be fore these two groups, which made up the largest gathering of college fraternity men in history, Wendell L. Willkie, guest speaker, pleaded for assistance in a campaign against the use of personal vilifica tion so that the country's ablest and best men would aspire to na tional leadership. . Cabinet To Study Chapel Fund Use All-College Cabinet decided at its meeting last night to investi gate the use of chapel collections with -a view to diverting part of the funds into other channels— specifically British war relief or Mrs. Hetzel's Emergency Fund. The proposal was broached by Richard M. Geissinger '4l who suggested that one collection each month be given to a war relief fund instead of to Penn State in China. To further the investigation Arnold C. Laich '4l, All-College president, named a committee of H. Edward Wagner '4l, chairman, A. John Currier, Jr. '42, and Geis singer. Acting on a report that student drivers have been continually breaking traffic regulations when parking near Frances Atherton Hall, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, Laich appointed a Traffic Safety Committee to act on violations. Under a tentative plan a campus patrolman will be stationed near Atherton Hall to apprehend and report violators to the committee. February 21, 22 and 23 were set as the dates for the convention of the Pennsylvania Student Govern ment Association which will be held on the campus _ under an agreement made last year at the first meeting. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 COMING -FRIDAY!

Monday morning, Police Chief -John R. Juba admitted late yesterday. It has been established that the robberie . s occured between 3 and 5 p.m. Monday. Pi Kappa Alpha men lost $240; Tau Kappa Epsilon, $100; and Kappa Delta Rho, $5O. Only cash was taken, and change was stolen in one case only. The three houses robbed all use the dormitory system in which the men sleep in separate rooms from their study rooms. Juba pointed out that such cases are extremely difficult to solve unless the culprit is caught in the act, since money is easily disposed of. The only tangible evidence in the case is some fragmentary fin gerprints which have been sent to the federal technical labora tory in Washington, D. C. Juba intimated that several persons are privately suspected, but incomplete evidence has per mitted no conclusive suspicions. Unless other fraternities heed this example, Juba warned, they may become victims also. He ad vised keeping money in a safe place and locking fraternity house doors, as well as private homes. Similar fraternity r obb e r i e s have not been uncommon in the past, Juba pointed out, and, unless the fraternities take the necessary precautions, could be repeated. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Late News Bulletins 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111M111111ffir Washington—The 'United States started the construction yesterday of 65 ships for Great Britain.
