laxlyf||(KoUegtatt | VOL. 51 No. 61 Lions Hopeful For Third Win; Play Rhode Island Penn State’s basketball team will go after its third win of the season tonight when the Nittany Lions entertain Rhode Island State in Rec hall at 8 o’clock. Coach Joe Tocci’s freshman team 'will play Altoona center in a 7 o’clock preliminary. The Rhode Island State squad will probably be the rriost color- ful basketball team to appear in Rec hall this season. Fast Break Coached by Robert “Red” Haire, the Rams employ a fast break .which has. gained-them na tional popularity as one of the highest scoring- teams in the country. Should Lion coach Elmer Gross use Penn State’s now famous zone defense against the - run-run-run game of the Ram quintet, Penn State basketball fans should be in for a treat tonight. Another interesting sidelight tonight will be the expected clash between the Rams’ Captain John ny Mitchell and, the Lions’ Cap tain Lou Lamie. ’ Mitchell is the Rams’ ace de fensive man arid he will probably draw Lamie, the Lions’ ace point maker, as his man. Both have been mentioned as candidates for All-American and tonight’s clash should put them both to the test. Gross t still, hunting for men to spell his first team, will string along with his five “iron men,” Lamie, Ted Panoplos, Tiny Mc- Mahan, Hardy Williams, anci Jun ie Moore as the starting squad against the Rams. RISC , The starting five for Rhode Island State will probably be Mitchell, Charlie Stewart, Fred Congleton, Fred Lennon, and George Handler or Ed Hole. After tonight’s tilt, Gross’ ca gers must take on the Presidents of Washington and Jefferson to morrow night in Rec hall. The Prexies are the sleeper on the Lions’ schedule this year. Al though not a large school. W & J perennially comes up with a classy basketball team and this year is no exception. • No Losses Coach Adam Sanders’ Javmen have five wins to their credit and are without a loss. The Presidents have downed Buffalo, Akron, Ak ron Goodyear, Ohio Wesleyan, and Thiel. Last season, Penn State eked out a one noint victory over the Preries on the W & .T court. Bols tered by a host of soohomores from last vear’s crack freshman team which also beat the W & .T varsity by one point, the Presi dents lay claim to one of their b°~t teems in vears.

Proposed Collegian By MOYLAN MILLS The action was taken before any motion to have the increase considered was put on the floor. It was suggested by David Lud wig, president of the Mineral In dustries student council, who asked that a financial statement of the newspaper be published before cabinet acts. Barbara Sprenkle, president, of WSGA, made the motion to tabled Explains Proposal Dean Gladfelter, Collegian edi tor, outlined to cabinet the ex pected revenue increase, should the assessment be passed, and explained what the additional money would be spent for. Revenue totaling $14,000 from the present assessment is listed in the current Collegian budget, which calls for publication of one eight-page paper for every two four-page papers, Gladfelter said. Increasing the size of the paper to eight pages daily would neces sitate additional printing costs estimated at $5,616, he said. This is based on present per - issue costs. An additional estimate of $lOOO to cover increases due to expected rises in the cost of pub lishing each issue also was in cluded in the figures, he said. Other new costs would include $4OO more for photography and engraving and $2OO for an Asso ciated Press news wire, bringing to $21,616 the minimum needed for expansion, he told cabinet. On the basis of present enroll ment figures, the increase would bring in an estimated total of $22,380 per year, the remainder of which could be applied toward increased circulation, he said. Gladfelter pointed out that in creasing circulation by 500 issues would entail an annual additional expenditure of about $9OO. Enrollment Drop Seen All-College President Robert Davis pointed out that a large drop in enrollment was predicted for next semester, and Gladfelter said that such a drop would affect total Collegian revenue. John Erickson, senior class president, said he thought the in crease was justified because he thought the Collegian had in curred expenses similar to those which had forced commercial newspapers to increase their price from three to five cents. According to a revision in the all-C 011 eg e constitution last spring, cabinet must pass recom mendations for additions to stu dent activities fees by a two thirds vote on each of two consecutive meetings. Education student council, in a straw vote taken yesterday after noon, voted to support the meas ure when it comes before cabinet. Social Changes Theme Of Pre-Med Lecture Dr. Clarance R.
