Lurie represented Pi Lambda
Phi at last night’s hearing.

the loss of these two men.”

Three Boys Steal
Commonwealth Flag
The Commonwealth flag on
the Old Main lawn was stolen
by three young boys at 5:10
p.m. Saturday, according to
Capt. Philip Mark of the cam
pus patrol.
Mark reported that a patrol
man saw the boys from the
patrol office in Old Main and
hurried out to catch them.
However, the boys disappeared,
in the region of the Tavern.
“We saw a flag similar to
it on a red convertible with a
Michigan license, and this
makes us believe that may
have 'been one of the visitors
from Michigan State,” Mark
said. However, if anyone
knows the whereabouts of the
flag, Mark asked him to bring
it to the Student Union desk
in Old Main, where no ques
tions will be asked.
Draft Test
Forms Due
On Nov. 5
Students at the College plan
ning to take the Selective service
college qualification test on Dec.
13 must file their application so
that it reaches Princeton, N.J. by
Nov. 5.
Forms are available only at the
local boards and must be obtained
personally by the student either
from the Centre County local
board in Beliefonte or from an
other local board.
Dean of Men H. K. Wilson also
said that students who have not
filed form 109, which lists the
scholastic standing of the student,
should submit the form to A. W.
Stewart,- assistant registrar, 4 Wil
lard Hall, for completion.
Classification of students by
their local board is influenced by
the test score.
Dean Wilson also pointed out
that some students, through error,
have been notified by local boards
of their classification as 1-A when
their class standing scores or test
scores would indicate they should
be considered for a class 11-A (S)
category. He suggested they call
the matter to the attention of
the local board.
Students who are required to
register for selective service may
do so by seeing Mrs. A. W. Case
in the office of the Dean of Men,
109 Old Main, Dean'Wilson said.
It will not be necessary for them
to go to a local board to complete
registration forms.

Nov. 12 Set
As Kickoff
For Campaign
The All-College elections com
mittee last night set Nov. 15 as
the date for freshman and soph
omore class elections pending
the approval of All-College Cab
inet Thursday.
Other dates which will be rec
ommended to cabinet are Nov.
12 for starting the campaign,
Nov. 4 for bolding the final nom
inations, and this Sunday for
preliminary nominations.
Increasing the amount a party
can spend in the fall elections
from $lOO to $l5O and raising the
total of all personal donations
from $2O to $35 were also rec
ommended.
It was also proposed that a
reporter from the Daily Colle
gian be admitted to the counting
of All-College and > class election
ballots.
The committee also announced
that it plans to check party mem
bers coming into preliminary and
final nomination meetings. Only
clique members may vote for the
final nominees. To be a clique
member, a student must attend
two clique meetings.
Another recommendation was
to make it an automatic penalty
for violation of the expenditure
regulations.
News Stand
May Be Closed
The West Dorm daily news
stand will be forced to close if
the present thefts of small change,
amounting to $5O weekly, do not
stop this week, Burton Johns,
manager of the Student News
Agency, said yesterday.
As set up by the SNA, students
can purchase daily papers in the
West Dorms _by putting their
money in a dish, thus working
it on an. honor system. The sys
tem has not been working, how
ever,-for there is an average loss
of $6 to $7 daily. This situation
has existed for three weeks, and
the SNA has been forced to op
erate at a loss.
“I would appreciate it if the
residents of the West Dorms
would keep an eye on the trays
and act as policemen,” Johns
said.

The Nittany Lion Roars
FOR the. cross-country and
football teams and their stirring
performances over the week
end.
The cat lets out a mighty
■howl for the near-perfect 19-41
win of his thin-clad harriers
over the Spartans of Michigan
State.
And the old boy roars, too,
for the inspired game the grid
ders played, even though they
lost. The feline licked his chops
and swished his tail after Bobby
Pollard’s run, and still felt the
same way after the game.
