Independents Abandon Move To Form 3rd Political Party A move to form a third political party on campus was aban doned with the decision to join one of the established parties, at a meeting held in Nittany Dorm 42 Tuesday night. The meeting was originally called by Myron Goldstone for the purpose of setting up an independent group. Former class officers from several freshman centers attended. “It seems to me that in relationship to the number of independ- ent men and women on campus, both parties are being run by fraternities and sororities,” said Goldstone. He added, however, that “if the parties are willing to give the independents on cam pus a break, then we are willing to go along with the one that will give us the better deal.” Non-Committal “We are not committing our selves yet,” he continued. “We are definitely not State Party or Lion Party by any means. All we are trying to do is get a man in office who will fight lor the in dependents. “In case things don’t turn out in the coming election as we wish, you can be assured that there definitely will be a third party in the spring elections for junior class officers.” He went on to point out that the indepen dents are not looking for any con cessions. Equal Basis “We want everything on an equal basis. If we are dissatisfied, then there are lots of others who are, too." Twelve representatives are already at work looking about for a suitable candidate for the post of sophomore presi dent, he said. “One more thing that I want to make clear,” Goldstone added, “is that we are not only looking out for the independent men, but also the independent women. When candidates are selected, Atherton Hall girls aren’t given any posts, but sorority girls are. We plan to see that the Indepen dent women get a break, too. Engineers Revive Plumb Bob Ball Plumb Bob Ball, a traditional dance at the College before the war, will be revived at the TUB Saturday night by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Parking is on the increase in Pennsylvania. At least that’s what the figures show. According to the Institute of Local Government at the Col lege more than $2,000,000 was collected in parking meters in Pennsylvania last year. The increase over 1946 figures was 48 percent. The 1947 figures were more than double 1945 col lections. Meters vary in their collecting ability, too, according to the re port. Meters in York, for in stance, collected $125.65 each, while Carbondale’s parking guardians could collect only $5.72. The number of meters in Penn sylvania cities ranges from 1427 in Pittsburgh to only 49 in Point Marion. But Pennsylvania, leading the nation in parking meters, must lead in parking as well. The report failed to explain that the figures represent only parking meter receipts. As yet he Institute has no figures on “parking” where there are no meters.

Movies Justify Clipping Penalty The clipping penalty which nullified George Guerre’s 100 yard touchdown run in last Sat urday’s game was justified, mo vies shown to students in Schwab auditorium last night indicate. The motion pictures show clearly that John Yocca, Michi gan State guard, cut down John Tinley, Lion tackle who was fol lowing the play, from behind on the 20 yard line. With the game ending in a 14- 14 tie, the penalty resulting from the clipping nullified what might have proved the margin of vic tory, and broken Penn State’s un beaten streak, now extended to 14 games. Missed Tackles Finley and center Chuck Beat ty, the movies show, missed a chance to tackle the high-step ping Guerre on the 40 yard line when he reversed his field. Trailing Guerre, the Lion tackle was the subject of a need less block, since he was clearly unable to prevent the touchdown, the pictures show. Finley was struck with a slash ing oblique block and . turned his back to Yocca consciously or un consciously as he fell, thus creat ing a clipping situation, the film reveals. Penna. Boy Following Coach Bob Higgins’ recent statement that Pennsyl vania coaches should join in urging players from the state to compete at home, Yocca ironic ally is from Winber, Pa. Sports writers and other im partial observers of Saturday’s game joined in commending Guerre’s brilliant pass-intercep tion and runback, coming in the final seconds of the 'first half, as the top thrill of a spine-tingling contest.
