Debaters Victorious
At Boston Tourney
Penn State debaters swept the Boston National InvitatiOnal
Tournament over the weekend with a total of eight wins and no
losses, topping Notre Dame in the finals.
The team of David Lewis and Robert Alderdice, under tutorship
of P rof. Joseph O'Brien, team coach, won a unanimous decision from
Junior Class
To Discuss
Diplomas
Discussion on the size of grad
uation diplomas will . take place
at • the junior class meeting at
7:30 p.m. tomorrow in 121 Sparks,
according to Michael Hanek, class
president. The class project will
also be discussed.
It has 'been suggested to have
a smaller diploma to increase
utility so far as transporting it is
concerned. The proposed smaller
size would make it possible to
distribute the diplomas at gradu
ation exercises. At present, the
large, academic diploma is in use.
If the diploma were smaller,
the engraving' and paper would
still remain the same, Hanek said.
He also said that action must be
taken before the end 'of the term
on the size desired.
Robert Sherman, chairman of
the project committee, will pre
sent a report on the proposed es
tablishment of a record collection
in the Pattee Library. He will
read a - letter from Ralph Mc-
Comb, College librarian, pertain
ing to the handling -of such a
contribution.
Among the features of the pro
ject is that the records, consisting
of "The Greatest Shows of the
Century" and others, would cir
culate for three -days just as
books do from the - reserve book
room. •

Lack of Support Cited
As Male Customs End
Customs for freshman men will
end at 8 a.m. today, David Mutch
ler, Tribunal chairman, announced
last- night.
Women's' customs will continue
in effect - until Sunday night, ac
cording to Joan. Yerger, chair
man of the Freshman Customs
and Regulations Board.
Mutchler said that the ending
of customs at this time is in
accordarAce with a policy of keep
ing spring customs short. He' add
ed, however, that the small num
ber of men undergoing customs
and the unenthusiastic support of
upperclassmen were also factors
in calling .off the, program.
Twenty-three - frosh men who
either 'failed to take .the quiz
given , by hatmen at two meetings
last week or who did not make
a satisfactory grade in the exam
will appear before Tribunal at 7
tonight. Mutchler said that cards
had been mailed to each man.

Athletic Controls
Not Yet Binding
The rigid plan for control of intercollegiate athletics adopted by the executive
committee of the American Council on Education will not be considered binding by any
institution—including Penn State, until it .is approved by a majority of member colleges,
the Daily Collegian learned yesterday.
Some 900 colleges and universities are members of the organization.
The procedure to be followed will probably include a questionnaire to be sent to
the presidents of the member
institutions, the Daily Collegian
was informed. The proposed code
will not be binding until approv
ed by a majority of the college
presidents, the informant re
ported.
It was also reported that the
American Council of Education
would attempt to put its program
into operation through the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation. Failing this, other action
would be taken.
Statements Are Contrast
What form other action might
take has not been determined,
but indications are that punitive
action might be taken . against
violating institutions through
regional accrediting associations.
Violating institutions might lose
their scholastic accrediting stand
ing under such a proposal.
The disclosure that the execu
tive committee's action would not
be binding until approved by the
presidents was in contrast to a
previous statement made by
'Everett Case, president of Col
gate and head of the executive
committee. Asked by newspa
permen when the plan would go
into effect, Case replied, "Why
it's in effect right now.
Recommendations - Ignored
The plan adopted by the exec
utive committee of the ACE is•
the same plan, with a few minor
changes, originally drawn up and
presented to the committee by
Dr. John Hannah, president of
Michigan State. Dr. Hannah had
previously presented portions of
the plan to the NCAA meeting in
Cincinnati.
However, the NCAA made its
own recommendations to the
ACE, suggesting that there be
no ban on bowl games until the
question could be studied, and
that controlled spring football
practice be allowed. The plan fi
nally adopted by the ACE com
mittee ignores these suggestions.
Rules Out Frosh
The plan eliminates all foot
ball bowl games and spring prac
tices; abolishes outright athletic
scholarships; limits basketball
practice and games to a three
and one-half month period, be
tween Nov. 1 and March 15; limits
baseball practice to three and one-

of a chariot race had been plan
ned for the frosh but was called
off because a suitable time could
not be found to hold the contest,
Mutchler stated.
Men's customs began Feb. 6 in
substantially the same form as
those undergone by froshmen in
the fall. The only major change
was the compulsory meetings
with the hatmen. Ten frosh were
granted custom's immunity by
Tribun - al because they were vet
erans, over 21 years old, or had
undergone similar customs at an
other school.
During the customs program
two joint meetings were arranged
between the men and women.
Approximately 100 frosh watched
Penn State defeat Rutgers on Feb.
6 from a reserved section in the
west- end stands. The frosh also
were shown three movies on Feb.
14. Two of the films dealt with
life and work at the College.

RILW Today
An address by Rabbi Arthur
Lelyveld, an Inter-church Stu
dent Fellowship dinner, and a
Friends Meeting in the Little
Theater will highlight today's
Religion-in-Life Week program.
The Friends Meeting, a Quaker
service, to be held at 12:30 "p.m.,
will be the second of a series of
four worship• services which are
held in the Little Theater daily.
This series is designed to give
students the opportunity to see
how people of other faiths wor
ship God. All services are open
to students of any faith.

byterian board of foreign mis
sions, will speak at a supper
meeting for the council members
of local churches belonging to .the
Inter-church Student Felowship
at 5:30 p.m. today at the Episco

Sororities
For Houses,
Levitt Says
The construction of s o r ori t y
houses is favored by Marilyn
Levitt, Panhellenic Council presi
dent, who said she felt a majority
of the sororities also want them.
In a recent poll conducted by
the Daily Collegian, 15 of the 19
sorority presidents favored con
struction of sorority houses as a
long term project, while only two
presidents said they opposed the
plan.
Though management of th e
houses would be a great responsi
bility, the experience would• be
extremely good training for girls
to get used to running a house,
Miss Levitt said. She also added
that houses would make a home
manager out of every sorority
woman.
The construction should defin
itely be under a free enterprise
system, Mis Levitt said. Suites
would be available for those sor
orities that wish to retain them,
she added.
Houses would make sororities
stronger, Miss Levitt said. She
added that if the College is going
to have sororities, have houses.
Miss Levitt said she would like
to see the houses built on the
Jordan plots or on the site of the
Windcrest trailer camp. She fa
vored each sorority to select, with
the approval of the College, its
own house mother.
After the initial cost of the
house is met, Miss Levitt believes
it would cost a girl less to live
in a house than in a suite.
2 Coeds Hurt
As Car Skids
Emily Kostas and Elizabeth
Zimmerman, seniors in home
economics, were injured Sunday
afternoon when the car in which
they were riding swerved on the
ice and skidded into a ditch two
miles west of Duncansville •on
Route 22.
Both women are now in the
Infirmary. Although a reading
has not yet been made on X-rays
taken yesterday to determine the
extent of the injuries, Dr. Herbert
Glenn, College physician, said he
believes the women are in "pret
ty good condition with no serious
inj uri es."
The accident occurred about
3:30 p.m. Sunday, Miss Kostas,
who was driving the car, told the
Daily Collegian yesterday by
phone. The women were return
ing from a friend's wedding in
Pittsburgh. "The car in front of
us skidded but•recovered," Miss
Kostas said, "and our car got
caught in the slush on the road
and also began to skid.
"We swerved on the ice and
went off the left side of the road
into a ditch," , Miss Kostas said.
Miss Zimmerman was thrown
against Miss Kostas as the car
went off the road' and both wom
en were injured.

The proposed plan for the re
vision of the freshman customs
program will be discussed by Hat
Society Council tonight. The
