The rain came in two heavy showers, beginning just 20 minutes
aft& the - carnival opened' Most
booths closed for the afternoon,
revised plans, then re-opened

Charlie Spivak Will Play
For Senior Ball Tonight
Charlie Spivak's orchestra, one of the most popular bands ever
to appear on campus, will i return tonight to Recreation Hall for the
annual Senior Ball.
The man who plays the "sweetest trumpet in the world" set
the record for the largest attendance at a Penn State dance when
he appeared on campus for the senior dance in 1947, and nearly
duplicated the mark at last year's Senior Ball.
The theme for the dance will
be built around barbershop quar
tets of old with four large song
books containing portions of
popular campus songs set up in
front of the band stand.
Walter Vilsmeier is chairman
of the senior dance committee.
Tickets at SU
Tickets will be on sale today at
the Student Union desk in Old
Main and will also be on sale at
the door tonight. They are $4 a,
couple.
John Erickson, president of the
graduating class, will announce
the senior class gift choice at in
termission.
The selection was made from
among a campus radio station,
an ambulance, 'a gridiron statue,
a grand pia n o; a scholarship
fund, a gateway project, and a
student press. Seniors voted earl
ier in the month for their choice.
Committee
Otto Grupp, William Barr, Jo
Ann Esterly, and Joseph Lench
ner served on the committee
which proposed the list of pos
sible gifts for the senior ballot.
Spivak, who heads a nine=
year-old band, was born in New
Haven, Conn. He began studying
the trumpet while in g r a de
school, and in spite of the fact
that his family had chartered a
medical career for him, he went
.ahead with music, studying under
George Hyer of the New Haven
Symphony Orchestra.
Later he joined the Dorsey
Brothers' orchestra along with
Glenn Miller, Skeets Herfut, and
Bob Crosby.

Smith and Fred Allen programs.
After forming his own band
he was signed for his first big
engagement by the Glenn Island

See Editorial On Page Four
The President, in announcing
that incoming coeds would be
assigned to Irvin, Watts, Jordan,
and Thompson Halls, emphasized
that the plan should be consider
ed as an emergency measure and
not permanent policy. He said
the College would return to its
former policy as soon as male
enrollment returns to normalcy.
"This housing plan," he ex
plained, "was thrust upon us by
conditions beyond our control.
Our responSibilities are such that
from the outset we must be sure
that our facilities ,will be fully
occupied for the duration of the
emergency. In that way, and in
that way only, can we meet our
obligations to the College and to
the state."
He reiterated that the College
would adhere to its established
policy of requiring all freshmen
to live on campus. As many as
possible will be assigned to the
West Dorm area, and the others
will be assigned to Nittany and
Pollock dormitories.
Priority System
He said a quota of rooms had
been reserved in the West Dorm
area for upperclassmen, and that
these assignments will be made
according to a priority system yet
to be worked out.
He expressed confidence that it
would be possible to accommo
date all upperclassmen wishing
to live in the Nittany-Pollock
area.
Women were housed in. the
Tri-Dorm area during World War
11. With the return of normal
peace-time enrollment, the dor
mitories were turned over to male
housing.
Brenner, Lewis
Receive Gavels
Marlin Brenner, debate team
manager, took first place in the
inter-squad term-end speaking
contest held Wednesday night.
Brenner an d runner-up David
Lewis were awarded gold gavels.
They competed against the
four other finalists, David Swan
son, Frank Fasick, Edwin Lefto
with, and Rubert Matasick, who
were picked in the elimination
round Tuesday night.
The topic used in the contest
was "What steps, if any, should
be taken towards forming a new
international organization?"
Brenner contended that a new
organization is not necessary be
cause there are already organiza
tions existing on three levels: the
UN level, the regional agreement
level, and the level of unilateral
agreement.
He said that world leadership
from the United States is what
is needed to make the existing
machinery work at its full po
tential.
Lewis favored adopting the
Hoover-Kennedy plan of defense,
which would strengthen the west
ern hemisphere into a Gibraltar.
