VOLUME 49-NUMBER 42
College Voting Begins Tomorrow
Senior Voting
For Gift Fund
To Halt Friday
Ballots Accepted
At Student Union
Voting deadline for use of the
senior class gift fund has been
extended to Friday, and ballots
will be accepted at Student Union
from 2 to 4:30 p.m. any day this
week.
The time extension was made
In order to coincide with cap and
gown orders and to secure a
greater participation by the
almost 2,000 students eligible to
cast ballots.
Seniors will record their choice
for disposition of the estimated
$B,OOO in the fund by marking
one of four choices on the bal
lots.
The four alternatives are (1)
the entire sum toward a student
press, (2) the entire sum toward
a memorial gate at the corner of
Pollock road and Atherton street,
(3) $2,000 to the student Co-op
and the remainder toward the
student press, (4) $2,000 to the
student Co-op and the remainder
toward the memorial gate.
Student Press
The student press, for the sec
ond time in two years, appears
as one of the choices open to sen
iors for disposition of the senior
gift fund. Last year the senior
class voted $6500 toward estab
lishment of the press.
Minimum cost of the press is
approximately $25,000. The Board
of Trustees opposes a bond issue
to gain the additional funds nec
essary to install the press on
campus. Therefore, as an alterna
tive, the press suggestion was
once more placed before the sen
ior class to raise another $B,OOO.
Combined with the previous
$6500 and $4,000 in a Daily Col
legian, Inc. sinking fund, the
total would be $18,500.
Private loans, which the Presi
dent of the Board of Trustees has
privately intimated he will not
oppose, are suggested as a means

Police Crack Down
On Prohibition
Violators
Police Chief John Juba and
four of the State College police
force added more realism to Al
pha Tau Omega's "roaring twen
ties" houseparty than many of the
guests had hoped for Saturday
night.
Juba and his deputies stilled
the noise of more than 150 ATO's
and their guests when they
"raided" the chapter house short
ly after 11 p.m.
The guests present, all of whom
were wearing shoulder holsters
and playing black jack, roulette,
and other forms of prohibition
era gambling devices, quickly
fell into a strained hush when
the chief of the local gendarmes
rushed into the house, announced
that no one would be permitted
to leave, and asked all persons
under 21 to line up.
Outside a throng of curious by
standers gathered to watch the
drama unfolding inside the "raid
ed" fraternity house.
Heavy frowns and worried faces
were quickly dissipated, however,
when Juba revealed that plans for
the faked "raid" had been made
well in advance as a practical
joke. John Erickson, perpetrator
of the idea, said the police cap
tain missed his calling by not be
coming an actor.
"He played the part to the hilt,"
Erickson reported.
