STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1948 Rolston New Soph Prexy; Niesley, Kenyon Win Britain's Big 'Event' Clouds Palestine Discussion That college professors possess a good sense of humor was borne out by an incident which oc curred in Prof. L. Larry Leon ard's 2 o'clock Political Science 14 class yesterday. During the class discussion, the subject of "trust" areas and man dates was brought to the fore. One of the male members of the class volunteered to give an ex planation of trust areas. As he proceeded along his line of ex planation, he referred to Brit ain's giving up of her Palestine mandate as "the event," where upon Professor Leonard inquired if he were referring to the birth of Princess Elizabeth's son. The student accepted the pro fessor's remark nonchalantly and continued his explanation. His last remark brought down the house when he uttered something to the effect that "I guess the time ran out."

Bowl Prospects Still Warm-Jones The hot-and-cold issue of Penn State participation in a post-sea son football game is still on the warm side, says B. C. (Casey) Jones, president of the Penn State Alumni Association. Jones told a meeting of the Alumni Association here last night that the unbeaten once-tied Nittany Lions might accept a bowl bid—provided an invitation is extended and provided the "ad ministration and students want to go." Jones said he referred in pqr ticular to the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Tex. Penn State played Southern Methodist to a 13-13 deadlock last New Year's Day in that bowl. "That's the way it was last year," Jones said. "It was put up to a vote and the team made the trip to Dallas after the results of the vote showed that was the way the kids wanted it." Jones said Penn State has not received an invitation to the Cotton Bowl this year. If an invi tation is extended, he said, "cer tain conditions" would have to be changed before the Nittany Lions would accept. He said he was referring to the fact that the Pennsylvania team, which has three Negro players, was quartered at a Navy bar racks near Dallas. "The barracks were the best but they were too out of the way and the boys didn't take much to liCootiased on page lisvee) cast ballots, but even this frac tion was higher than sophomore voting a year ago. For president, 937 ballots were cast; for vice president, 932, and for secretary treasurer, 926. Said Rolston when the final votes were tabulated: "The cam paign is over and it remains foe the newly elected officers to dir ect their efforts to the carrying out of both campaign platforms. William Lawless, All-College President, congratulated the win ners, although he expressed dis appointment at the "light" vot ing. Lawless was elected to his position on the State ticket last May.
