Lewis holds the trophy which_ the College will keep for one year. 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. • TODAY'S WEATHER FAIR .

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. A special -event in the •form FOR A. BETTE 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- (Continued on page eight) 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. ENN • STATE His Plan Adopted 3 Programs To Highlight 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. Dr. Andrew T. Roy, of the Pres 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 pal Parish House. The price of the supper is 75 cents. A few tickets will be available from ICSF members for interested stu dents.

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. Hat Society Council The proposed plan for the re vision of the freshman customs program will be discussed by Hat Society Council tonight. The council will meet at 7 p.m. t4e night in 101 Willard.
