the money as directed by Cab

An entire hour of confused de
bate preceded the decision. Orig
inally, the W.S.S.F. sent letters
to fraternities, sororities, and
other groups in an effort to se
cure booths for the carnival.
Points Vague
The letter was vague ca a few
points, and the Spring Week
Committee organized a second
letter which it intended to send
out today. Cabinet member Nor
man Sims, Thespians, moved that
Cabinet accept the second letter,
but after heated debate, the mo
tion was defeated 16-2.

the Chem-Phys Student Council,

this was the point that stopped
the original motion from secur

of the Engineering Student

can't tell us what to do with our
money."

WASHINGTON, D. C.—No de
cision has been reached by the
Federal jury in the Axis Sally
treason case. The jury, which got
the case at nowt yesterday, re
quested transcripts of all the
Axis Sally broadcasts introduced

American government has never
executed a civilian for treason.
Filibuster Rages
WASHINGTON, D. C. —T h e
Administration will go into ac

For EIBA Meet

Intercollegiate cham p i o nships
held at Penn State," stated Harold
R. Gilbert, graduate manager of
athletics, yesterday.
He said that students may not
use AA books for tomorrow's and
Saturday's Eastern boxing ses
sions in Recreation Hall. To
avoid standing in line and miss
ing any bouts, he urged students
to buy tickets today at the Ath
letic Association office window,
Old Main.

man, assistant graduate manager,
600 reserved seat tickets are still
available for the series of three
boxing sessions. He said, also,

Tribunal Fines
Six Offenders
Tribunal issued six fines, two
suspended sentences, and dis
missed one case of the ten han
dled at Tuesday's meeting.
Four of those fined were as
sessed $1 for parking violations.
In another instance the guilty
party was fined $2 for reckless
driving and his parents were noti
fied of the charge. The third fine
was for $3, incurred by two traf
fic violations.
Tribunal will increase fines for
guilty parties at future hearings
if their attitude or cooperation is
not becoming to college students,
Tribunal Secretary James Rich
ards said yesterday.
Basis for such action is contain
ed in the minutes of All-College
Cabinet of April 15, 1948, which
gives Tribunal its authority.
Students who feel that they
have received unfair treatment at
Tribunal hearings may appeal to
All-College Cabinet.
Embosograf Offers Students
New Sign Printing Service
A new service to the College, in the form of an Embosograf
machine, is now being offered by the Office Services Division of the
Department of Public Information. The machine, made by the
Embosograf Corporation of New York, can be used to make signs,
nameplates, notices, announcements, direction signs and other
similar items.
The machine has been used here experimentally for the past
two weeks and signs made by it
have already put in an appear
ance on campus. They have been
used to designate the voting
places for the "Miss Penn State
Freshman" contest, for certain
Student Union activities, in the
Placement office and at the TUB.
Not Poster Machine
The Embosograf is not to be
considered a poster machine
since the cost of duplicating a
large number of posters with it
would be prohibitive. It is pos
sible, however, to produce a
large quantity of posters from an
original Embosograf sign by
using a photo-image process.
The machine embosses letters
of various colors onto a colored
piece of heavy cardboard. The
maximum width of signs is 14
inches and the maximum length

tered astride the skeleton of a
mule.
This incident was related by
Dr. W. F. Dunaway in his "His
tory of the Pennsylvania State
College."
Pranksters from a class some 50
years ago were responsible. They
had "borrowed" the assortment
of bones from the College's mu
seum.

The campus Red Cross Drive
has passed the midway mark,

Lain, chairman of the campus

Pride Is Cause
Of War-Mayer
Pride is the cause of all wars,
proclaimed Milton Mayer, during
his speeches Monday at a dinner
conference in the Reformed
Church and later in Schwab Aud
itorium. A former member of the
University of Chicago faculty and
presently engaged in promoting
the Harvard Classics, Mr. Mayer
was sponsored by the American
Friends Service Committee.
Pride and War
Pride is a loss of faith in God; a
lack of faith in God brings a lack
of faith in man; and a lack of
faith in man breeds war, he said.
Our country, our world cannot
be saved by force, he ventured
as he quoted Einstein's and Op
penheimer's statements that the
present atomic bomb is 30 times
as powerful as those bombs drop
ped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In the next war, two-thirds of all
the world will be destroyed if the
atomic bomb is used, he quoted
these two authorities as saying.
