IFC survey Favors
CORE Barber Shop
With 60 per cent of the frater
nity votes still unaccounted for,
the Interfraternity Council's sur
vey on the question of a non-dis
criminatory barber shop indi
cated a heavy lean toward the
establishment -of the shop.
The three questions posed by
the Committee on Racial Equality
were —would you favor a non
discriminatory shop? Would you
be in favor of a boycott and the
new shop? Would you lend a dol
lar to help start the shop?
Early voting showed a 6-1
majority in favor of the first
question, with a 4-2 vote against
the second and a 3-3 split on the
third.
Professor Arthur H. Reede,
head of CORE, listed the votes
received so far as 532-122 for the
first question, 404-246 against the
second question, and 316-315 for
the third.
Willard Agnew, president of
the IFC, requests all fraternities
which haven't turned in their
votes to do so today.
Frank Goodman Trophy
Presented to Tighe

Popular Captain
Joins Ring. Greats
Another fistic great bowed out
of the collegiate boxing picture
Saturday night at Rec Hall when
the Nittany boxing captain Jackie
Tighe was presented the Frank J.
Goodman trophy.
The award which is presented
annually to the Lion boxer who
has done the most to further and
promote boxing at the Nittany
institution was presented to the
popular Tighe by his coach, Leo
Houck, in the absence of Frank J.
Goodman, the donor of the
trophy. Goodman, winner of the
Eastern and National 135-pound
crown in 1936, was unable to at
tend the presentation ceremony
because of an important business
engagement.
Tighe received an enormous
ovation when Coach Leo Houck
presented the trophy to him. The
great boxer dwindled down to the
size of a little schoolboy and
heartwarmingly stuttered into the
microphone:
"Thank you all. I owe every
thing to our beloved coach, Leo
Houck. It is the greatest h',nor
I have ever received. I am
deeply touched."
Then with tears in his eyes, one
of the greatest fighters ever to
wear the Blue and White stepped
out of the ring which brought
