each society in the council is re
quired to present its tapping list
to the council at least one week

of five members, would be ap
pointed by the presidenti- with
the approval of the council, and

Large Crowd Sees
I Splinterville Review'
_ Over 250 students crowded into the TUB last night to watch
the second annual "Splinterville Review," talent show for Nittany-
Pollock men which was sponsored by the Barons, social group for
the area.
The show dragged in places, but in general.it was highly appre
ciated by the audience who called several of the performer back for
encores
Opening the show was an
eighteen piece orchestra under
the direction of Jack Huber. The
orchestra played five numbers
and featuted some of the smooth
est rhythm heard on campus in
some time.
Lyric Tenor Second
Second on the program was a
lyric tenor, Robert Huston, who
sang "Just A Little• Bit of Hea
ven" and "Summertime." Hus
ton had a good Irish voice but
lacked any stage presence.
Variety was added to the pro
gram by the presentation of a
humorous skit, "Typical Satur
day Night at Aceton Hall." This
was .intended to portray life at
the women's dorms, but fell far
short of the mark. The main facet
of humor was a take-off on wo
men's features-:--both vocal and
physical.
Russ Johnson won loud ap
plause from the audience with
his hillbilly renditions of "Cry
Baby Heart," "Golden Slippers,"
and an encore of "There's Been
A .Change In Me." For "Golden'
Slippers" he played both the har
monica and guitar at the same
time.
At one time during "Cry Baby

and opponents of the controversial loyalty oath bill watched the
House debate tonight more changes to the oft-rewritten measure.
The amendments were offered by both Republicans and Demo
crats to affect various changes in a measure which has become one
of the hottest issues of the mara.

Representatives of tea c her s',
church and veterans organizations
spent much -of the day button
holing lawmakers on their stand.
The Senate-passed 'bill requires
all public employes and elected
officeholders to take •an oath
swearing they are not members
of a subversive organization.
Republicans Ask Appeal
Offenders of the proposed law
would be liable to dismissal from
their job and perjury charges.

ments would:

act's provisions to appeal to the
county court in the county: where
they were appointed to their po
sition.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Few Refuse
To Sign New
Deferments
There have been few refusals
to sign the new draft deferments
issued last week by the Army
ROTC here, Maj. William H. Cox,
Army ROTC, said yesterday.
Of 243 students enrolled in the
advanced program, Maj. Cox said,
only one has refused to sign the
new agreement. He said results
of freshman and sophomore
agreements would not be known
for about a week because agree
ments had to be mailed to three
Penn State centers.
Maj. Cox said there is no rea
son why ROTC students should
refuse to sign the new agreement
which clarifies the service in a
reserve unit that follows two
years active duty. He said the
Army ROTC did not anticipate
any change in enrollment as a re
sult of the new deferments.
Not Bound to Take Course
When the agreements were is
sued last week, Col.. Lucien E.
Bolduc, Army ROTC head, said
those signing the agreement were
not guaranteed an opportunity to
participate in the advanced pro
gram. He said the selection proc
ess now in use would continue.
Col. Bolduc also said that stu
dents signing the d e f e r m ents
would not be bound to take the
advanced course if tendered.
The new agreement is necessi
tated by the Universal Military
Training and Service Act of 1951
and replaces the Selective Serv
ice Act of 1948, as amended,
which previously deferred ROTC
students.
Mailed to Three Centers
Col. Bolduc said those not sign
ing the new agreement would
lose their deferments. The new
law affects about 1700 Penn State
students enrolled in Army ROTC.
The deadline for returning the
new agreement was last Monday.
