Street Fights
Still Raging
Within Seoul
TOKYO—Though General Mac-
Arthur has announced that the
seizure , of Seoul is complete,
street fighting is still ' raging.
North Korean' Communist Forces
fled to the north of the city, but
about 5,000 remained, apparently
preferring death to surrender.
The big link-up of allied forces
has been accomplished. Tanks
rushing northward from the old
South Korea beachhead have con-1
tacted armored patrols between
Suwon and Osan. When consoli
dated, the line will encircle the
bulk of the Korean Red Army
of more than 100,000 troops.
UN To Study Charges
LAKE SUCCESS--The UN As
sembly has decided to take up

China and to continue to watch
the Greek-Balkan case.
Britain is . said to be taking
over the job of finding a basis
for settlement of the Korean
War. Three steps will be pre
sented to the UN Assembly: es
tablishment of an independent,
united Korea; continuance of
help to repel any attacks; a demo
cratic government elected under
UN supervision set up; and a
new UN commission created to
make sure the UN's recommen
dations are obeyed.

Frosh Revolutionists Back
Undercover After Uprisal
Open rebellion by freshmen against hatmen and customs ap
peared to have subsided again yesterday after the weekend spree
of "hangings."

reprisals apparently had ended
for the moment.
Meanwhile, Tribunal Chairman
Neil See warned frosh yesterday
that all freshmen must continue
-to wear their large (4" x 6") name
cards for another two weeks.
Because of a misunderstanding,
the College is not supplying
smaller name cards this year and
in their absence the original signs
must be retained, he explained;
A mass meeting of all hatmen
is planned for 121 Sparks at 7
o'clock tomorrow night to discuss
customs. Hat society leaders
termed the meeting important.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1950
Eisenhower Backs
Concert Program
President Milton S. Eisen
hower endorsed the Commu
nity Concert series yesterday
praising the plan which wil
bring outstanding musical ar
fists to Schwab auditorium.
'The president predicted a
sellout of the 1200 concert
memberships which will go on
sale Monday.
"I am delighted to learn that
a Community Concert associa

College," he said, "the stimu

simple enjoyment I get in

Patrol Reporls
Less Thievery
This Semester
The amount of reported thiev
ery on campus this semester has
been very small compared with
that of previous years, according
to Captain P. A. Mark, head of
the campus patrol.
"Either there are fewer thieves
around this year or the student
body is more alert," he said. "Only
two pocketbooks and one coat
have been reported missing so
far. This of course doesn't in
clude thefts that may not have
been reported to us."
Most campus thefts occur ,in
Rec Hall locker rooms and class
room hallways where coats are
left unguarded, according to Cap
tain Mark. He cited last year's
epidemic of wallet thefts in Rec
Hall, almost all of which took
place when the owners left their
locker doors open while taking
showers.
Last year there was only one
case of breaking and entering,
when the darkroom of the Alpha
Zeta fraternity house was broken
into and photographic equipment
was stolen.
"Almost all thefts can be pre
vented," said Cagtain Mark. "If
each student is careful about
keeping his belongings in a safe
place at all times and isn't too
trusting the amount here on
campus could be reduced con
siderably. It's sad but true that
there are thieves around here,
and the less temptation they have
the better off everyone will be."

President Milton S. Eisenhower
will greet more than 150 repre
sentatives of state institutions as

COMMUNITY FORUM
TICKETS
AVAILABLE
By 808 SCHOOLEY
Caught Monday
Most of the freshmen, given the
first sentences for violations of
customs, were apprehended out
side of McAllister dining hall
Monday afternoon.
James Fox, the one freshman
given special punishment, was or
dered to carry his freshman bi
ble in a frying pan. He was in
structed to carry a sandwich sign
inscribed, "I am a wise egg that
Tribunal fried."
In meting out the punishment,
Neil See, Tribunal chairman, told
the offenders, "Freshman cus
toms are an important factor to
help build better school spirit,"
See asked the opinion of the
freshmen as to whether they un
derstood and appreciated the cus
toms. Most of the freshman an
swered affirmatively, and added
that they would enforce the cus
toms when they were in a posi
tion to do so.
One freshman pleaded innocent
to the charges, claiming to have
seen a notice in his .dormitory
that customs had been called off.
His plea was denied on the
grounds that the procedure for
the lifting of customs was out
lined in the freshman bible.
The case of Paul Neuschwander
was postponed until next meeting
when more evidence will be avail
able.
In addition to Fox, those sen
tenced were:
David O'Leary, George Krause,
Robert Westoff, John Smith, Dav
