Lions Ready to Roll,
Prexy Tells Rally
President Milton S. Eisenhower last night compared Penn State’s
football team to a high powered automobile “whose tank is filled
with gas and whose engine is ready to roll it down the Spartan
road for a touchdown.”
Prexy spoke at a pep rally at which a fair-sized crowd, including
entire Air Force drill, team, gave the team a spirited send-off
last night jn front of Recreation
Hall. The team was scheduled
to leave Altoona,- by train last
night. -
. President Eisenhower , said that
although the press calls Penn
State the underdog, - the • team
■'doesn’t. feel that way. He said
the team is going into the Mich
igan State contest tomorrow with
the. “same self-assurance, poise,
and confidence that has marked
its performance in the five pre
ceding games.”
Emcee •’■Sam Novell nextantro
duced Rip Engle, who said, “The
boys have surprised a lot of peo
ple this .year, including the sports
predictoj:s_gnd;their_XDwn coaches.
They ’intend" to "keep on surpris
ing them.”
Dr. Frank J. Simes, dean of
.men,,, said/he. expected-the ■ team
to take all Michigan State'has to
offer and go them one better.
•Nowell, who appeared in a toga
as a ‘Spartan,’ told, the team, “Set
’em up, mow ’em down, and let’s
go State!” Nowell declared he
was formerly Engle’s secret weap
on but that the team is now so
good that even he couldn’t change
it.

'lke' Sentiment Strong
At College, Poll Shows
~ “I Like Ike” is the sentiment of
approximately 600 Penn Staters
polled at random, whose growing
enthusiasm for General Dwight D.
Eisenhower is even stronger than
the majority-support given him
by voters throughout the nation.
Eisenhower’s increasing popu
larity- with students on campus
was indicated early this week in
a personal-interview presidential
poll conducted by 11 Daily Col
legian staff members.
He received 67.6 per cent of the
poll’s vote. His ■ Democratic rival,
Gov.. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi
nois, tallied votes from only 29.1
per :cent.‘
Those polled were selected at
random from such widely-sepa
rated locations as Engineering C,
McKee Hall, Sparks Building, the
Mall, Main Engineering. Building,
Atherton Hall, Willard Hall, Tern?
porary Building, Ag Hill, and off
campus.
The results of . this poll invite
comparison with recent polls con
ducted by Dr. George Gallup’s
American Institute of Public
Opinion and by the-Princeton Re-1

would limit the standards of the
book, Schoerke said. The only
thing being subtracted was “dead
weight” items which do not add
to the high standards of LaVie,
he said.
The recommendation will now
be presented to the College Board
of Trustees for approval.
Cabinet approved the expendi
ture of $421.17 to complete the
financial needs of the student
handbook last night. The request
for the funds was presented to
cabinet at an earlier meeting, but
because it was a matter dealing
with more than $lOO it had to be
tabled for vote at a following
meeting.
John Hoerr, editor of the hand
book, a cabinet project, presented
the request. He announced that
the cost of printing the bo.ok is'
$1771 and that $1397 was received
through sale , of advertising space,
thus leaving a deficit of $421.17,
the amount asked from cabinet.
William Griffith, chairman of
Religion-in-Life Week this year,
reported to cabinet on the prog
ress and plans for the event this
year. He pointed out that two
criticisms of last year’s week were
the lack of lead-in and follow-up
activities to the main discussions.
Griffith asked that cabinet
members suggest the names of
persons who would be willing to
work, with the committee on the
event.

one by. written ballot last March,
and the'second by personal inter
view last April.
Members Increase
The Republican standard-bearer
has added a sizeable number of
students to his. bandwagon since
the Collegian polls during the pri
mary elections last spring. He had
only 43.5 per cent of' the April
vote, and 38.6 per cent of the
March poll.
The total of Republican party
members -on campus also sky
rocketed since the last two polls.
Compared with this week’s show
ing of 67.6 per cent Republicans,
the second poll indicated 6C per
cent and the first a much lower
42 per cent.
The Democratic ranks oh cam
pus also climbed, but less spec
tacularly. From only 23 per cent
in the first poll, and 20 per cent
in the second, they jumped to 29.1
per cent.
Dess numerous were students
who were “undecided.” At pres
ent _ only 3.3 per cent have- not
made up their minds, the same
percentage shown last March in
rhe first poll. But as many as 15!

Chess Club
Allotment
Is Rejected
By MIMI UNGAR
All-College Cabinet last night
unanimously rejected the pro
posal that $2OO be allocated to the
Penn State chess team for the
1952-53 college year.
The proposal was introduced by
Peter Betley, president of the
chess club, at the last cabinet
meeting. Reasons Betley gave for
the allocation were'.that the chess
team represents Penn State, and
in the past has won the state
championship as well as a runner
up position.
Betley estimated that trips have
cost each member of the team at
least $5O. ,
David Pellnitz, chairman of the
Board of Publications, pointed
out, however, that if cabinet were
to give money to the chess team,
it would be misrepresenting stu
dent government funds. The pos
sible establishment of a separate
fund for .teams who represent the
College was suggested by. Lincoln
Warrell, president of the Chem-
Phys student council.
All-College President John Lau
bach said that cabinet will aid
the chess team in investigating
the possibility of such a separate
fund..
Cabinet approved the following
percentages of Campus Chest
funds to be allocated to previously
specified recipients: Penn State
Christian Association, 46 per
cent; World' Student Service
Fund, 13 per cent; Women’s Stu
d e n t Association
Christmas Fund, 6 per cent; State
College Welfare Fund, T per cent-
Salvation Army, 6 per cent; Heart
Fund, 6 per cent; American Can
cer Society, 6 per cent; Penn
State Scholarship Fund, 7 per
cent; National Student Service
Fund for Negro Students, 5 per
cent; and operating expenses, 4
per cent.
