Student Board
Will Supervise
Campus Traffic
A new system of punishing
student violators of campus traf
fic rules—a system intended to
strictly enforce all regulations—
has been and will pro
bably go into effect next week if
All-Coliege Cabinet gives its ap
proval Wednesday night.
Under the plan a seven-man
student Traffic Board has' been
set up to hear all complaints.
Violators will be turned over to
the board by the Campus Patrol.
The board will probably have
power to assess small fines and
to revoke campus licenses.
Jack W. Brand ’4l has been
appointed chairman of the Traf
fic Board. Other members are
Gerald F. Doherty ’42, Margaret
L. Embury '42, Raymond F.
Leffler ’42, John E. Long ’42,
Marshall D. Miller ’4l and John
M. Phillips ’42. Dean A. R. War
nock and Capt. William V. Den
nis, Jr., will be ex-officio mem
bers.
Brand intends to call a pre
liminary meeting of the group
sometime this week. The board
will draw up its own constitution
and by-laws which must be ap
proved by Cabinet.

OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE
Mitme.n Test Syracuse,
Cagers Face W. Virginia
Penn State’s student body
treks back to Rec Hall tonight,
not to register this time, but to
witness the first big athletic
night of the winter season—a
tripleheader,, including varsity
and freshman boxing and a var
sity tussle in basketball.
• Danny DeMarino’s yearling
mit-tossers will open the eve
ning’s program with a little
number against the Syracuse
Little Oranges at 6p. m. It will
be the first attempt of the Nit
tany frosh under the tutelage of
DeMarino, and the Lion Cubs
will be tackling an Orange out
fit of unknown strength.
Following their little ring cou
sins, Leo Houck’s varsity slug
gers will tangle with their age
old rivals, the Syracuse Hillmen.
Probably because they will not
be at full strength, the Lion
leather-pushers will enter the
arena slightly the underdogs at
7p. m. Jimmy Lewis, 165 pound
Eastern titleholder, is not a defi
nite starter for the champion lo
cals.
'-M
After the smoke of the ring
warfare has cleared, Long Jawn
Lawther’s... Nittany cagers will
bump up against the reckless
-Mountaineers from down West
Virginia way. The cage en
tanglement is slated to begin at
8 p. m. Both the Lions and
Hillbillies have impressive rec
ords and will be out seeking add
ed hardwood accomplishments.

Poef Auden Will Visit
Campus Week Of Feb. 17
Announcement was made to
day that W. H. Auden distin
guished English-born poet and
dramatist, will serve at the Col
lege as “poet in residence” dur
ing the week of February 17.
The unusual visit will enable
students interested in poetry,
drama, and the dance to meet
personally with the author of
“On This Island,” “Another
Time,” and other well-known
volumes. He will lecture before
a student-faculty, audience on
Tuesday, February 18.
Auden, now living in New
