Governor James Praises Student Government During His Surprise Visit With President Hetzel "That meeting of your College president with the student leaders is the kind of thing that makes me .confident of America's future. I'm proud that Penn State has a student government strong enough to make such a convocation pos sible." Gov. Arthur H. James was the speaker; the setting was an inter view at the College golf course; the time was yesterday afternoon, during the first State College meeting of Pennsylvania's gover nor and Penn State's president. The unprecedented visit to State College has no hidden or momentous significance, the Gov ernor emphasized. He had mere ly stopped by for a social call with the President, and found that Hetzel had. just left for the golf course with Samuel K. Hostetter, assistant to the president. James then decided to change to his slack suit and saddle shoes and do his "socializing" while "on the go." Why yes, he admitted, he had also stopped in State College to see President Hetzel the day be fore, but the President had been out. That trip was also accident al, he insisted. The new pro Vision was added at the suggestion of Arthur R. Warnock, dean'of men, according to Denman. Warnock hopes the addition will prevent recurrence of the disturbances "rushers" caused during the Summer semes ter rushing. Exempt from the new "lockout" ,provision are counselors and IFC members on official business. "If the privileged students take ad vantage of this section, and rush freshmen during the meetings, it will 'be considered a violation of the spirit, as well as the letter,, of the code," Denman warned.

" The interview, bull-session style, was being conducted while a call was being issued at the caddy house for a "fourth for golf." Carl Schott, Phys Ed School dean, answered the call and got paired off with the Gov ernor for a match against Hostet ter and President Hetzel.
