Alumni Club Proposes 8-Point Football Policy Alumni feeling on Penn state's perplexing coaching and athletic policy problems was beginning to make itself felt this week as the Athletic Advisory Board deliberated its fifth week on Joe Bedenk's possible successor. The Penn State Club of Indiana County recently sent copies of a letter, , summarizing the Club's view-points on the football coach ing situation, to all Penn State alumni district clubs and to the Athletic Advisory Board here. The letter listed eight proposals that the Indiana members went on record as favoring. • 1. A representative f o o t b a 11 team at State, comparable with other state colleges and universi ties, 2. An athletic'policy that would conform with existing conditions. 3. Employment of a high class coaching- staff, headed by a man with out-standing leader ship qualities. He should have consid erable latitude in the selection of assistants; and a suitable salary must be paid to attract well quali fied coaches. 4. Putting the administration of inter-collegiate athletics under a Director of Athletics, directly re • sponsible to the president of the College. 5. Employment of coach on basis of ability. 6. An honest, sound and work able policy toward financial aid for football players, including board, room, , tuition, fees and books. 7.

No lowering of scholastic re quirements for football players. The Indiana Club members stated also in their letter that they do not fear the over-empha sis of football with a broad-mind ed, realistic athletic policy. "Any such fears are a reflection on the administrative abilities of the Col lege authorities." Dr. Carl P. Schott of the Col lege's School of Physical Educa tion and Athletics said this week that he has barely scratched the surface in the search for a coach. He still did not name any OP-the candidates available for the Post.

The campaign is spon sored by the Alpha Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity. All donations will be directed solely to research in the cause, diagnosis, and cure of cancer and will be administered as a special fund by the Centre County Can-, cer Unit. Last year the County Fund contributed $2750 to research study at the- College and at Temple University, the Univer sity of Pennsylvania and 04colo gic Hospital-in -Philad'elPhia. "In the past, student contribu tions to the County Fund have been general. No goal has been set for the drive this year. However, with all research funds being di rected to the memory of Leo Houck, late College boxing coach who died of cancer last January it is expected that the response will be greater than ever," Ax ford said. Leaders of various student or ganizations who have received appeal letters will be called upon personally before the end of the drive by members of •the com mittee. Individual contributions •will be received at the Student Union desk. in Old Main and at the Daily Collegian office. Lorch Apartment Was Not, Sublet Dr. Lee Lorch yesterday stated he did, not sublet his New York apartment in the Stuyvesant Town project to a Negrb family. He said the family uses the apartment as his guests and that there is not and never has been an exchange of money.

The trustees executive committee recently refused to renew his contract with the Col lege after he was questioned concerning the Stuyvesant Town affair. Dr. Lorch pointed out that all information in the story was ob tained indirectly and without personal contact with him. He indicated that, with this quali fication, the facts reported were generally correct. However, he added that in formation concerning a letter of protest from Albert Einstein had been released by another person without his authorization, and was not intended for publi cation.

The platforms themselves state a variety of aims and obpectives to be pursued by each party in the event that its candidates are elected. The only major point which each stresses is the matter of improvement in dormitory tele phone service. Both cliques, in ad dition to proposing new programs of action, pledge themselves to the support of many existing cam pus organizations. The campaign will be tempered by provisions of the elections code, designed to protect both political parties and students from unfair or harmful practices, Will iam Shade, elections committee chairman, yesterday reminded parties that a penalty of no less than nine and no more than 99 votes can be inflicted on candi dates • or parties for false cam paigning or other violations of the code.
