Frothy Reveals Horrid
Truth About
Coeds
Do you neck on the first date?
How often do you bathe a week?
Have the strapless gowns gone
far enough?
These and other questions vital
to Penn State students will be
revealed in the March issue of
Froth which appears on Friday.
Froth men have made a com
plete student survey on import
ant personal questions. Many
Atherton Hall coeds lie awake
nights wondering if they should
have been so truthful with the
probing, dirt-raising scandal
mongers who publish Penn
State’s Best humor magazine.
Surveys were made of 1,000
men students and 500 coeds by
means of a questionnaire of 30
questions each.
Men students will get the real
lowdown on coeds since more
than six pages will be devoted to
the results of the survey alone.
Other departments featured toy
the “Foolish Gentlemen” ’will be
articles on the boxing team and
three pages of campus photos.

73 Boxers Register;
.21 Colleges Compete
By STAN PoKEMPNER
Collegiate boxing’s biggest
show, the seventh annual NCAA
Boxing Tournament, gets under
way at 9:30 a.m. today when 73
boxers, representing 21 colleges,
who registered yesterday will be
paired for preliminaries, starting
at 2:30 p.m. today and continuing
at 8 p.m. today.
•.According to registration up to
last midnight, the final entry list
has fallen two 'below the record
set here in 1932 at the first na
tional collegiate tourney. Last
minute entry-cancellations by
Southwestern Louisiana Institute,
Catholic University, and The
Citadel pulled the expected rec
ord list down.
Medical examinations will be
given the contestants at 8:30 a.m.
today. Pairings will be drawn at
a meeting of the Boxing Rules
Committee, coaches, and officials
in the office of Dr. Carl P. Schott,
dean of the School of Physical
Education at 9:30 a.m.
Five former champions, three
of whom will defend their titles
again this year, will be seeded
favorites after the drawings.
Ted Kara, Idaho co-captain,
will'seek his third national title.
He will defend his 120-pound
title this year and his brother,
Frank, will attempt to bring
back into the family the 127-
pound title Ted won in 1939.
Johnny Joca, Florida’s color
ful lightweight, will defend his
135-pound championship against
Gene Rankin, 1939 135-pound
champion. Laune Erickson, Idaho
175-pounder, is the other defend
ing champion.
Heavyweight champion Nick
Lee, out most of the season with
mumps, will box for Wisconsin
in the 175-pound class this year.
Penn State’s seven-man team,
dogged by bad breaks in dual
meet and the EIBA tournament
at Syracuse, will be out to show
its guests that playing host is not
all the Lions know how to do.
LA Council Plans
12 New Members
A revised membership plan to
include five commerce and fi
nance students, five arts and let
ters representatives, and two
journalism majors was passed
last night by the Liberal Arts
Council and petitions for pros
pective members called in by
Thursday, April 3.
Six juniors and six sophomores
will be selected from the peti
tions submitted to the council,
each bearing the names of 30
students in the curriculum and
class which the person desires to
represent. Only requirements
are a “1” average, and registra
tion in the particular depart
ment to be represented.
Four women—one from com
merce and finance, two'from arts
and letters, and one from jour
nalism—are to be included in the
total number of delegates. All
petitions may be signed by men
and women.
By electing only six sopho
mores to the council, the body
will remain the same next year
but will be reduced to half its
present size the following year,
thereby providing a smaller and
more-compact group.
