constitution was subsequently
passed making advisers ex-officio
members.
Richard Klingensmith, chair
man of the public welfare com
mittee, reported he had talked
to Russell Clark, housing direc
tor, concerning damage in West

Clark as saying he would co
operate fully with the council.
The council, in turn, gave Clark
a unanimous vote of confidence
for his handling of the dorm
damage affair and affirmed its
intention• of cooperating with
him in future matters.
A motion for the council to
sponsor a contest with three
prizes to be given away Nov. 20
was proposed by John Clark, fi
nance committee chairman, and
passed by the council.
First prize will be an invita
tion to the Military Ball, a cor
sage, and rental of a Tuxedo, or
$l5. Second prize will be a 15
pound turkey with shipment
paid to any place in the country,
or $lO. Third prize will be $5.
A motion was passed to send
a letter-to Russell Clark, author

provide a truck to carry laundry
cases between West dorm post
office and the town post office.
Blair Green pointed out that
similar service is available in
the Nittany-Pollock area.

of fraternity robberies behind him
was apprehended Friday night at
the Theta Chi fraternity house.
Edward J. Stack, 30, was recog

gate university branch. Warnings
about him had been issued by the
Theta Chi national organization.

State -College police, who picked
up Stack at the local fraternity
house, said that he had stolen
Hubbard's wallet. He had been as

stole watches, wallets, money and
rings.
Stack told police at Rockview
that he attended classes at the
University of Michigan and
Wayne university for several
months in order to become ac
quainted with college life. He
wanted to "get the feel of things,"
he said.

time in prisons for previous burg

with police officials yesterday for
Connnecticut, where he will be
tried.

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

and prosecution by the bor

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.
