Intercollegiate Boxing Tournament Opens Tonight Four. Lions Scheduled To Fight By 808 VOSBURG Four Penn Staters will' enter the ropes tonight when the 28th annual Intercollegiate Boxing championships open in Rec Hall on the first leg of a journey point ing to eastern titles. Sam Butler at 132 pounds, and Gerry Spotts at 156 will carry the Lions hopes into the preliminary bouts, while 139-pounder Tony Fiore and light heavyweight Adam Kois will fight semi-final bouts. 13ecause Virginia failed to enter a man in the 139-pound class, and Catholic U. has'no 178-pound en try, semi-final bouts will be held in those classes tonight, the win ners moving directly into to morrow night's finals. Flore (3-1) will meet Joe In• carnato (1-2) of Catholic U. In a dual meet earlier in the season Incarnato won a decision from Fiore on a foul. Kois (1-1-2) will-take on Syra cuse's John Mahar (3-0-1). These two drew in a dual meet. Butler (0-1-1) will go against Army's Jim McGee '(2-1). These two didn't meet during the sea son. McGee beat State's Joe Rey nolds in the dual meet. Spotts will have a tough . foe in Virginia's undefeated Ca p t ain Pete Potter (2-0-2). Potter and Spotts met in a dual-meet last Saturday, with the Cavalier ace winning a decision. The other four members of the Lion squad drew byes and see action first in the semi-finals to morrow afternoon. Because of the entry failure, the schedule for bouts has been changed. Ten matches will be fought tonight, 12 tomorrow after noon, and the eight final bouts tomorrow night. In tonight's 125-pound battle, 'Bill Banerdt of Virginia meets Joe Walsh • of Catholic U. In the other 139-semi-final bout, Syracuse's Johnny Granger (3-1) will face Jack Poirier of Army.

The cut plan, introduced last month by B. A. Whisler, head of the Civil Engineering department, calls for an increase of one credit for each class missed within a 48 hour period before and a similar period after a regular College va cation. The tentative calendar was sent back to committee after the Senate 'could not agree on any way of inserting a break between the end of the fall semester and the beginning of spring registra tion. , The Senate also established as College policy a recommendation that students be permitted to take an equivalent of two yeath 'Work in their curriculum at Penn State centers before transferring to the College.

Players' Production Captivates Audience Whether first-nighters enjoyed most the easygoing philosophy and humor of the play, or the sporadic bursts of rockets and cavort ing of kittens is uncertain. But if last night's audience reaction is any indication, "You Can't Take . It With °You" will enjoy mere popularity this weekend than any Schwab Auditorium productiori this year. • Probably it is a mixture of the two, for whenever the Moss Hart- George Kaufman. comedy gets too easygoing and a little on the quiet side there is a burst of red fire or a thunderous noise from , the basement to step up the pace. Somehow reminiscent of Haydn's "Surprise Symphony." Warren Smith's direction has made a good comedy out of a play that some might interpret as farce, because of the ludicrous situations in which the Sycamore's find themselves. The most hilari ous parts of the .-show, however, are not the obviously contrived situations, but the scenes where the Sycathores indulge in their own eccentricities to the bewilder ment of outsiders. The humor in "You Can't Take It With . You" doesn't lash out or cut . . . neither is it brittle or sklize,4., It is as unsophisticated s y as the characters themselves, arid it rarely over shadows the gentle philosophy of the' play. Rather, it is an integral part 'of it. Mesrop Kesdekian's Grandpa is a gentle, soft-spoken patriarch who sums up the theme of the play in one line, "Life is simple and kind of beautiful if you let it. come- to- .you.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1952 —Photo by Austin Change Misses Needed Three-Fourths Vote by ,3 After four weeks of debate, All-College Cabinet in a fiery session last night defeated the proposed amendment to the All-College Constitution regarding the changing of student fees. Fifteen members of cabinet voted for the amendment, with seven voting against it. There was one abstention, ' which was counted as a negative vote. Eighteen votes in favor were required to pass the pro : . posal. Prior to the final vote on the amendment, John Laubach, pres ident of the Association of Inde pendent Men, proposed an amend ment to the amendment which would have required the poll to be conducted by the Psychology de partment instead of the All-Col lege elections committee. Laubach said that he doubted if the elections committee could handle the job in an unbiased manner since the committee po sitions w ere political appoint ments. David Olmsted, president of the senior class and originator of the amendment, said that he had originally planned th e amend ment to have the Psychology de partment conduct the poll. How ever, he said, this would have en tailed a more costly poll than if it were under the supervision of the elections committee. For that reason, he said, he worded the amendment as it was presented. Two members of the elections committee who were at the ses sion, Carroll Chapman and George Glazer, were asked if they thought the group was biased. They replied they did not and pointed out that the majority of the members were seniors who felt that politics was over for them. Cabinet Approves Seating Plan All-College Cabinet last night gave the preferential seating com mittee a vote of confidence to proceed with a plan to establish a student flash card and cheering group in section EH of the Beaver Field -stands. The vote was 22 to one. Cabinet gave the committee the authority to work out the details of the plan. The details will be presented to cabinet when ready' for consideration. Cabinet also heard the first reading of a proposed amendment to Arti c l e 8 of the constitu tion and approved several com mittee appointments. The proposed amendment, pre sented by Marvin Krasnansky, chairman of the Board of Publi cations, would change Article 8 to read: 'The Board of Publica tions shall consist of the editor and managing editor of Collegian, editor and managing editor of La Vie,' editor of Froth, editor of Inkling, editor of the Penn State Engineer, edit ors of the Penn State Farmer ; Forester, and Sci entist, and their respective busi ness managers. Additional mem bers shall be determined by a three-fourths vote of the members of the Board of Publications at tw o consecutive meetings. sub ject to the approval of All-Col lege Cabinet." The proposed amendment was amended -three times in cabinet before it reached its final form. The proposal will be read at the next two cabinet meetings and will be brought to a vote at the second meeting. Krasnansky said the purpose of the proposal is to erase unneces sary changing of the All-College Constitution. cation policy with wages based on type of work instead of de partment of employment. 4.

The uni o n, local 67 of the American Federation of Sta t e, County, and Municipal Employees (AFL), claims as members about 800 of the 1800 service employees of the College, but other esti mates have set the figure as low as 300.
