With the defeat, the freshmen lost a chance to have dating cus toms removed. In an attempt' to retaliate, the frosh moved en masse on the TUB and removed a barrel of cider on tap for the win ners. However all ended well when the frosh returned the cider to the TUB a few minutes later, and all the participants, hatmen and frosh alike, helped consume it. The contest, which did not start until 8:30 p.m. was staged at the intersection of Pollock and Burrowes roads. Some spectgtors climbed trees in order to see it. Confusion prevailed, marked by a false start in which one hatman was pulled a block down the street by 50 freshmep, and by a Penn State club initiation. In the initiation, 38 men with blacked faces pulled a small rope through the crowd. Marilyn Franklin, Belle Hop ball queen, was on hand to 'fire the starting gun and to root for the freshmen. Miss Franklin said, "Being a freshman myself, I'm 100 per cent for the frosh team." Robert Davis, all-College presi dent, had a• hard time keeping both trimmed to 50 men. When the event started, however, both teams had an equal number of men on the rope, according to Davis. Draft Registration All men from 18 to 28 must register for Selective Service, Wilmer E.

K. Hostetter, assistant to the president in charge of business and finance. Preliminary plans had been proposed and a portion of the woods staked out, but• the mat ter is being "laid away" because of excessive cost and "other rea sons," he told the Daily Collegian yesterday. The, Penn State Club of Cen tre County last week proposed a resolution asking that the admin istration and Board of Trustees declare the wooded area inviol able. Previous to this, H. E. Dickson, professor of fine arts. told the Daily Collegian that he thought that "the College needs a long range plan for its (Hort Woods) retention, not just this year or the next,' but as long in the future as possible." Hostetter had not been available for comment before yesterday. Several different petitions for the retention of Hort Woods in the future are now being circu lated among student and faculty organiz itions. Campus Chest Plans Revealed , Plans for canvassing faculty members and college personnel during the Campus Chest drive were formulated at a meeting of faculty representatives yesterday.

These four are the Penn State Christian association, the World Student Service fund, the Women's Student Government as sociation's Christmas fund and the Scholargram fund.

In addition, faculty members and • college personnel will have the opportunity to designate the amounts they wish to contribute to each of the organizations. Their donations will not be included in the student plan of • dividing the funds on a percentage basis. Russell B. Dickerson, dean of the School of Agriculture, and Francis Artley are co-chairmen of the faculty representatives. The drive will begin Saturday and continue for a week.

Wilmer E. Kenworthy, assistant to the President in charge of stu dent affairs, said that the College was asked to ring the bells in Old Main tower to help celebrate the occasion.

(Continued on page two) PRICE FIVE bers and students who contribute to the fund. All-College President Robert Davis led cabinet criticism against the Daily Collegian for what he termed failure to give the Camps Chest drive and other student government ac tivities adequate publicity. Collegian editor Dean Gladfel ter, who is a voting member of Cabinet, retaliated by reading a prepared statement of Collegian policy which pointed out that the paper "makes every reasonable effort to cover all the major news l on campus!' The specific complaint put for ward by Davis concerned a Campus Chest story which ap peared on page three of yester day's Collegian. According to Da vis the drive merited page one publicity. Canvassers will ask students to sign pledge cards authorizing that $2 be added to their fees or deducted from book receipts to cover their Campus Chest contri butions. Originally the commit tee planned to ask each student to donate $1.75. Students may in dicate any amount as a donation. but $2 has been set as a goal for individuals. Faculty Contributions Faculty members, as stated in the second amendment to the charter, will be asked to contri bute to on-campus organizations only, and may specify wl.at their contributions are to be used for. Since faculty members and ad ministrative officers are asked to contribute to the community chek fund, it is believed that this amendment will eliminate the necessity for them to contribute twice to the same organizations. In addition to the Campus Chest and Hort Woods projects. cabinet also accepted a report of the NSA concerning new commit tees which have been formed by that organization, and a report of the Orientation Week committee, which is at present working on a new plan for counselling incoming freshmen. Cabinet last night also voted to oppose the destruction or mutila tion of. Hort woods in a unanimous motion. Before final vote the motion was amended to approve the ap pointment of a committee to study the present and possible future status of the woods. The commit tee was directed to report its find ings at the next cabinet session. Considerable sentiment was ex oressed in favor of preserving the woods. John Erickson, senior class President, who presented the orig inal motion, said the senior class at its meeting last week favored the preservation "overwhelming ly." Carroll Howes, School of Agri culture student council president, reported his council had voted for retaining Hort Woods as memorial to some person connected with Penn State agriculture. President of th e education school student council, Clarht Young, said his council suggested it be dedicated to Leo Houck, for mer boxing coach at the College.
