To Obtain Counsel
Alvin J. Heller, arts and let
ters senior, charged with violat
ing a Borough ordinance prohib
iting distribution of commercial
hand bills, yesterday was granted
an extension on the hearing of his
case by Burgess Albert E. Yougel.
The case will be continued in
the Borough building at 4:30 p.m.
July 5.
Heller is an officer of the
Communist Party Student Club
of State College.
Heller asked for the extension
in order to have time to obtain
advice and representation of a
lawyer. He said he had been un
able to get a lawyer to take his
case at the present time.
About 50 students appeared to
witness the hearing.
Heller was arrested May 13 on
Information signed before Burg
ess Yougel by Borough Police
Chief J. R. Juba. The information
charged that Heller had violated
Borough Ordinance No. 274 in
distributing handbills at the
comer of Allen street and Col
lege avenue.
Fine for conviction is from $1
to $5O, or a sentence of up to
30 days in jail.
The title of the ordinance
passed Sept. 21, 1942, says that
it prohibits “the distribution of
commercial handbills and circu
lars in the Borough of State Col
lege.”
Heller said he would fight the
case on the basis of Section 2 of
the ordinance, which says in part,
“Nothing contained in this ordi
nance shall be deemed * * * to
prevent the lawful distribution
of anything other than commer
cial and business advertising
matter.”
Daniel deMarino, assistant
dean of men, represented the
dean’s office at the hearing.

Without Breakfasts
In its final meeting of the aca
demic year Thursday night, All-
College Cabinet decided to sup
port the proposal of the Penn

the plan whereby no breakfasts

road requires a guarantee of 350
riders in order to send the special

Take Penn State
With You ....
Harold Brown, past_ chair
man of Tribunal, who is join
ing the Penn State Alumni
Association, states his reason:
"Every college student
makes an investment in edu
cation. But there is another
precious investment he makes
while on the campus—in
friendship, I think that mem
bership in the Penn State
Alumni Association will be a
good way to protect that other
investment to insure _ that it
pays a lifetime of dividends.
"I believe the Association
is the best agency of com
munication tc see that the old
memories are kepi alive."
