THE IMODY
6. All elected officials would
have to take the oath. The origi
nal oath had no such provision.
Sen. Albert R. Pechan (R-Arm
strong), sponsor of the original
bill, said the oath for candidates
for elective offices would be ad
ministered by the county com
missioner. It would be taken when
the candidate files his intention
petitions.
President Eisenhower has sup
ported the amendments in his re
cent talks. He was in opposition
to the idea of having any one man
name those who were subversive.
Another weak point, he said, was
the perjury section in which sub
versives who lied under' oath
might not be considered legally
guilty of perjury.

hundreds of • visitors who had to
stay as far as 40 miles from the

Froth Brings
Spring Things
In Last Issue
See Editorial on Page Four
Spring has truly arrived at Penn
State in the form of budding
trees, Spring Weekend, an d
Froth's Equinox issue.
The odor of spring is especially
apparent in the story of Ag Hill,
though poor Joe College of "The
Common Code" is blissfully un
aware of its breezy freshness.
Baby Jeffrey took Froth's mot
to, "Old soldiers never die," to
heart, and makes his last appear
ance in this issue. So too, do we
have our farewell glimpse of the
departing staff, which has made
this magazine what it is for the
past year.
Uncle Sam, vice, and women,
are still the main topics of dis
cussion, however, and are fea
tured in "Greetings!" "The Sixty-
Ninth Bottle," "The Rites of
Spring," and the Froth Girl of
the Month.
The humor section is enlivened
by Lyn Levitt'S "Of Moose and
Men," tile success story of a typi
cal campus male.
And not even the spring issue
would be complete without Mug
and Jester, Dope Sheet, and Old ,
Mania departments.
