Freshmen Exuberant When Customs End Cheers, green dinks, and ;torn up pages from freshman bibles filled the air at New Beaver field when freshman customs ended Sat urday afternoon between the halves of the Penn State - Temple foot ball game. The announcement was made over the public address system by Neil See, Tribunal chairman at 3:15, jUst as the Big White were re turning to the field for the second half. The freshman section of the stands was in a turmoil, and after the cheering for the returning team was over, the upperclass men watched the demonstration with smiles Before the game and during the first half, the frosh had been belt lug all hatmen who passed their section of the stands with apples. At one point, they even bom barded frothy and the nittany lion when they rode by on a small motor scooter. Hoist Hatman After the announcement had been made, however, some of the frosh men grabbed a hatman who was nearby, and hoisting him to their shoulders, carried him down the length of the field and back again. Feeling was good, and the frosh laughed and joked with the batman during the whole time they were carrying him. The women were much less en thusiastic than the men, because their customs had been lifted some time before by order of the Wo men's Student Government asso ciation. They joined in the cheers, Hunting In Borough Forbidden By Law No hunting will be allowed within the borough limits of State College, police chief John R. Juba announced yes terday. According to borough ordi nance No. 67, it is unlawful to discharge or shoot firearms of any type within the borough limits.

First Mid-Year Frosh Class To Be Admitted The College will admit a mid year freshman class of both men and women in February for the first time since the end of World War 11. In announcing the plan yester day, President Milton S. Eisen hower explained that "in these emergency times, when industry and the armed force need trained men and women, the College is es pecially anxious that its facilities be used to the fullest extent." Completion of new dormitories and the opening of additional classroom and laboratory facili ties made the new admissions pos sible in spite of the present record Icampus enrollment of 11,160, ac cording to the admissions office. Dr. C. 0. Williams, acting dean of admissions, pointed out that the move will aid recent high school graduates who want to be gin college work before becoming subject to the federal draft. Only a few Pennsylvania high schools, including those in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, graduate students at mid-year. The College will continue to grant admission to a limited num ber of transfer students and stu dents who have completed work at Penn State centers, Dr. Wil hams said. but none of them took ofr the green ribbons they were wearing in their hair. The men tore up their bibles and threw away their black bow ties, but almost without excep tion they kept their dinks "to frame," or to give to their families or girl-friends. "Thank God" Some of the comments made by frosh immediately after the an nouncement were: "Thank God," "It's about time," and "We'll give it to the frosh newt year." There seemed to be little resentment against hatmen and upperclass men once customs were off and the frosh admitted that with few exceptions they had been treated fairly by everyone during th e period of customs. After the game, most of the freshmen still had their hats, al though not many were wearing them. They stood in groups around the exits of the field, and in front of their living quarters and cheered hatmen who walked by. There were many offers to trade green hats for black ones.

Wreck Yields Broken Bodies The mangled bodies of Dr. El liot Alexander and his wife were recovered from the wreckage of their plane on a mountain top near Ogletown last Friday after noon. Ground rescue forces were dis patched to the scene of the trag edy immediately after the wreck was discovered at noon Friday by a Civil Air Patrol observer. After a two hour trip through thick underbrush the rescue crew reached the plane. Died Instantly Since there were no signs of life, it was believed that the couple died instantly. It was nec essary for the crew to tear the plane apart in order to reach the professor and his wife. Both of the plane's occupants suffered fractured skulls, crushed chests, and fractures of both arms and legs. A heavy fog 'was believed to have been the major cause of the crash. After taking off from Johnstown on a second attempt, the professor was thought to have circled back to the Johnstown airport and plummeted into the mountain side, 15 miles from the airport. The professor, from the Uni versity of Illinois, was on his way to Penn State to give a lecture to the department of chemistry. The air search for his plane be gan last Tuesday after the plane was reported missing on Monday. Intervention of bad weather on Monday prevented the search from taking place the preceding day.
