VOL. 51— No. 4 Local Leaders To Head 'Crusade For Freedom' County, faculty and student leaders have been named to head the "Crusade for Freedom" program in Centre county, a national movement to "mobilize civilian America in the battle for men's minds." C. S. Wyand, assistant to the President, was named chairman of the Centre county "crusade." David H. McKinley, associate profes sor of economics, is corchairman; Claude G. Aikens, president of the First National bank, treasur er, and Dr. Frederick B. Marbut, Journalism department, in charge of publicity. Other students and faculty members who will solicit sig natures for a gigantic Freedom Scroll are Robin Brunner, . for women students; Harold Lein bach, fraternity members; Rich ard Bard, independent men, and Alfred G. Pundt, professor of European history, faculty. Wyand, who was appointed to the post by John A. Mayer, co chairman for the "crusade" for Pennsylvania, in charge of the western part of the state, spent yesterday working to complete a county-wide organization. In addition to affirming names to the Freedom Scroll, the "cru sade" aims at contributing to the construction and operation of additional • broadcasting stations in Germany. These stations are designed "to carry the message of the freedom-loving countries be hind the 'lron Curtain" The Centre county program is part of the nation-wide campaign headed by General Lucius D. Clay, former commanding officer of the American forces in Berlin. It was launched with a speech in Denver, Colo., by General Dwight Eisenhower Sept. 4. The general said that these stations in some ways would be more effective in combating the Soviet "Big. Lie" than such government-sponsored programs as the "Voice of America," al though that campaign by the State department will also be continued. President Milton S. Eisenhower is one of the official sponsors of the national organization. Student Handbook Richard Bard, editor of the Student Handbook, announced that slips distributed to new students for the handbook would not be honored. Bard said that all freshmen must have their handbooks at all times. and should have re ceived them by now.

Other students may purchase the book, and all students must produce a matriculation card.

Green c-':::l*.ck 1•- ats Appear • As C.stfoTims Go U. to Effect SCENES LIKE THIS were typical lasi week , as the first freshmen on campus since 1945 lined un and fried on the dinks and bow ties called for by customs, which went into effect Monday. Shown here frying on his green topper before purchasing if at the Book Exchange is Charles Hechler. Poet, Archduke Will Talk Here Ogden Nash, famous writer of light verse, will appear in Schwab Auditorium at 8 p.m., Oct. 13 as the first speaker of the 1950-51 Community Forum series. Archduke Otto of Austria-Hun gary, second speaker of the pro gram, is scheduled to lecture in Schwab, Nov. 14 on "Christian Democracy or Communism." Nash is a verse writer for The New Yorker;• Saturday Evening Post, and other national ma,za zines. He will recite a number of his classic verses and comment on events which inspired them. The book Hard Lines estab lished Nash as a master of hu morous verse, and his next book, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, was an outstanding best seller. Archduke Otto was born in Austria-Hungary, and studied in France, Spain, and Switzerland. During the war he spent much time in Washington where he worked with other leaders of Cen tral Europe for the United Na tions. Since the 1930'5, Otto has de voted much time to the study of the Communist movement, and has been denounced by the Rus sian press as well as the Com munist papers of Europe. New Traffic Rules Pending Release New campus traffic regulations have been drawn up by the office of the Campus Patrol, but the regulations have not yet been passed by the administration and will probably not go into effect until sometime in October, ac cording to a spokesman in the patrol office. The borough, which recently won a citation for no fatalities or violations of the vehicle code, has announced that it will con tinue to rigidly enforce the code. Parking against traffic will . re sult in a fine of $2 to $lO taus $3.50 costs. Parking on the left hand side of the street even for a short time will not be per mitted. Parking too close to an inter section or across a driveway is a violation of the code and will result in a fine. Speed limits and one way streets must be strictly observed. On Campus With Frosh One of the most extravagent tales about the newcomers to our campus concerns the young man stationed in the new dorms who walked into the Corner Room, ordered a meal big enough to kill the proverbial hourse, and walked out, handing this meal ticket to a rather astonished cashier. A rather disgusted and thoro ughly weary freshman, a f ter standing in line for registration, meals, and the opportunity of watching a beautiful girl dancing with 10 other guys at a mixer, had a very pertinent suggestion to make. He thought it might be better to nickname the College the "Nittany Lines." Retribution by the frosh seems to be coming early in the game. A group of eight hatmen col lected a dozen frosh and had them sing school songs ending the program with a cheer. One frosh was appointed head cheerleader and was told to go through the motions of the Nittany cheer leaders. As he extended his arms for the N-I-double-T routine, Emer son Jones, All-College secretary treasurer, wandered too close, and narrowly missed a short right to the lower molars. All hatmen pre sent solemnly congratulated the frosh on his aim, and sent him on his way. Collegian Candidates To Attend Meetings A candidates' meeting for the editorial staff of the Daily Collegian will be held in the newsroom, 8 Carnegie hall, at 7 p.m. today. Business staff candidates will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow in 9 Carnegie hall. New Scholarship Th e Pennsylvania Canners Association has established a scholarship amounting to $5O per semester at the College. Students in horticulture, majoring in fruit and vegetable processing will be eligible to apply for the scholar ship. PRICE FIVE CENTS ®inks; Bows, Latest Thing For Members Of Class Of 1954 Green and black were the colors of the day as the first day of freshmen customs since 1945 ended on campus. Green dinks and bows and black bow ties sprouted all over campus in town, with white name cards providing the necessary accessories to the frosh outfits. Looming in the background, black chapeaus could be seen as hatmen began their traditional enforcement of freshmen cus toms. Chief violations by the froth boiled down to two. Many were found walking or lot Aging with their hands in their pockets and some did not have the first page of the freshman bible' filled in with the necessary information. Most of the frosh seemed to be studiously avoiding the Old Wil low on the Mall near Old Main. Customs require them to doff their dinks when passing the spot where the Willow once stood. Leaders Satisfied In general, student ,leaders were pleased with the way the program was working out. Rob ert Davis, All-College president; Neil See, chairman of Tribunal, and Robert Fast, president of the Hat Societies council, all express ed satisfaction with the way cus toms were being enforced. See said that the proposed Tri bunal meeting, originally sched uled for tonight, was being can celled due to the meetings of most of the hat societies. Fast announced that the first meeting of the Hat Societies council would be held in 410 Old Main tonight at 7 o'clock. He urged all hatmen to wear their hats during the customs period, and to be particularly diligent in enforce 7. ment of customs. The "hello walks" leading south from Old Main plaza seem ed exceptionally quiet, with few hellos being passed since the frosh also seem to be avoiding the likely haunts of their "arch enemies," the hatmen. Shy Away Student leaders expect hazing and cries of "button, frosh" to become more frequent as the novelty wears off. Many upper classmen seem to shy away from frosh, and self-conscious grins appear in groups of hatmen, up perclassmen and frosh alike. Few if any names were hand ed in for violations of customs, most of the hatmen prefering to give frosh a chance to get ac climated to their new classes and (Continued on Page Two) Better Exchange Of Ideas Planned A plan for better communica tion of ideas on problems affect ing all phases of the College is being worked out by President Milton S. Eisenhower. President Eisenhower said Fri day he planned to have All-Col lege cabinet meet once this sem ester with the Council of Admin istration and that he would con fer with cabinet at least twice in formally. The meeting with the council is scheduled Sept. 26. A mass meeting of the entire faculty to bring forward their ideas to the administration will be held Nov. 7 in Schwab Audi torium, the President said.
