Tribunal Delays
Action on Customs
Sophomores who threw flash-cards on New Beaver lies at
Saturday's game with Villanova were put on their good conduct
yesterday by Chairman Robert \Keller of Student Tribunal.
Keller told The Daily Collegian last evening that recurrence of
the incident would result in establishment of customs for sopho
mores. He stressed that throwing the heavy flash-cards on the field
Rush Hour Rule
Set to Reduce
Traffic `Jams
Borough Police Chief John R.
Juba announced • yesterday that
during 'rush hours east-bound
traffic on College avenue will not
be allowed to make left turns on
to Burrowes road to enter the
campus.
He requested the cooperation
of College students during the
rush periods at '8 a.m., at noon
and from 4 to 5 p.m., as well as
in complying with other local
traffic regulations.
He said the new regulation was
put into effect because nearly, all
traffic entering the campus from
the east has been using Burrowes
road, resulting in traffic conges
tion at the intersection.
Such congestion at the inter
section is dangerous in case of
emergencies, Chief Juba •empha
sized.
He suggested using Shortledge
road or the temporary road. at the
700 block East College avenue to
enter the campus.

Moving Slowly
Tickets for the "Blue and
White Special," the train being

Point, will remain on sale today

Hosterman, assistant to the grad
uate manager •of athletics.

vations are needed before the
Belefonte Central Railroad offi
cials will guarantee the tram. The

could have resulted in injury and
represented a waste of time and
money.
President Morton Snitzer of
Skull and Bones urged Keller
Monday to inflict customs on the
offending sophomores who had
thrown the cards onto the field
and into other sections of the
stands after Vince O'Bara scored
Pew' State's lone touchdown in
the fourth quarter of Saturday's
game.
Dangerous
He had blasted the act as
"dangerous, costly and a wanton
waste of man-hours."
Customs will not be inflicted at
the present time because Tribun
al would rather prevent future
recurrence rather than take re
tribution, Keller said. He added
that he did not wish to give the
impression that he did not con;L.
sider the action serious.
Following the incident, several
trustees commented on the costly
waste of the appropriation for the
flash cards, Keller reported.
He said sophomores would be
put on - their good conduct at the
next home football game, with
Boston College, Oct. 8. However,
should the same thing happen at
that game, he said, customs would
be inflicted.
Such customs would consist of
wearing clinks and large name
.
cards, said Keller.
Expense
Sophomores probably did. not
realize the time and expense that
went
_into making of the flash
cards, but should have had sense
enough to realize the flying
cardboard could cause serious
jury, he stated.
Any violations ast the Boston
College game will be reported to
Tribunal and action will be taken,
he said. No 'meeting of Tribunal
has been called to consider Snitz
er's demand.
Seltzer had declared: "Sopho
more customs have• been in .ef
fect at .Penn State before, when
sophs were rstricted •in dating
privileges and were subservient
to the demands of upperclass
men. It is feasible that they could
be revived at this time, especially
if the card-flashing incident
should be repeated."

Severe Strike
PITTSBURGH Absence at
comment from either side in the
full-length daily steel negotiation
talks yesterday gave rise to hope
for agreement. Neither side has
yet • shown signs of giving up.
Unless agreement is reached by
Friday midnight, the nation is
headed for its first double
barrelled coal and steel strike.
A threat of possible violence in
the coal strike appeared when
non-union miners returned to soft
coal pits in western Pennsylvania
and Utah. Operators in both
states called for help when bands
of motorized United Mine Worker
pickets began runs through non :
union mine areas.
WASHINGTON A bill call
ing for a wage boost amounting
to about 180 million dollars a
year for postoffice department
employees yesterday was passed
by the House. The Senate has
not yet acted on it, and the bud
get bureau is opposed to it. Be
fore. the vote, some representa
tives called for a boost in postal
rates because, they argued, the
postoffice now is 700- million d° ll '
lam in the zed.
