McCoy Sees . Improved
Student Relations in Plan
Hope that his Recreation Hall seating plans would be accepted
for the betterment of student relations was expressed by Dean
Ernest B. McCoy of the School of Physical Education and Athletics
Sunday.
McCoy spoke to members of All-College Cabinet assembled at
the Nittany Lion Inn at his invitation to discuss the seating plans
!The method of securing student
tickets for football games was al
so discussed at the dinner meet
ing
Cabinet will discuss the McCoy
proposals at its meeting tomor
row. A vote will probably be
forthcoming from cabinet on the
plans at the meeting following
this week's meeting.
To Meet McCoy Again
The two seating plans proposed
by McCoy at .a previous meeting
of cabinet are a suggestion that
a number of seats be allotted , for
faculty, alumni, and townspeople
at Rec Hall events and another
proposing the establishment of a
two-ticket system to eliminate
crowded conditions at the "big"
games.
Cabinet will probably meet with
McCoy again in a few weeks to
discuss the plans further. Cabinet
has not until this week taken ac
tion on the plans other than urg
ing 'members of the group to se
cure the opinions of their organ
izations.
In talking about the recent
Penn ticket situation, McCoy ex
plained to cabinet members that
the multiple problems of a ticket
manager make it nearly impos
sible to satisfy everyone involved.
Eight Groups in Favor
At least 17 campus groups have
taken action on the first plan sug
gested by Dean McCoy, that of
allowing about 300 seats for fac
ulty, alumni, and townspeople.
Eight of these groups have favored
the plan, nine . have opposed it.
Two other groups, the Mineral
Industries Council and the Pan
hellenic Council, have discussed
the plan but have not as yet
reached a decision about it.
In favor of the 300 seats plan
are the Women's Student Govern
ment Association . (after first dis
approving this group reversed
itself in favor of the plan); Worn
en's Recreation Association; Leo
nides; and West Dormitory, Chem
istry and Physics; Town, Home
Economics, and Physical Educa
tion school councils.
Some of these groups have dis

Fleming Favors
McCoy Seating
Arrangement
David Fleming, president of the
Mineral Industries Student Coun
cil, announced last 'night he is in
favor of Dean Ernest B. McCoy's
proposal to reserve 300 tickets
for the public at Recreation Hall
sporting events.
The statement came after an
abbreviated council meeting at
which only four of the twenty
members appeared. The group it
self will not take formal action
on the proposal until another
meeting to be held at 7 p.m. next
Wednesday in 208 Willard.
Council members present seem
ed to be behind the plan with
certain stipulations. The main one
was that tickets be merely general
admission, requiring the purchas
ers to accept the same conditions
as the students in securing their
seats.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
New Position for Prexy—Childs
"Milt's the one with the
brains in the family," quoted
Marquis Childs, opening
speaker for this .season's Com
munity Forum, in recalling a
co m ment by President-elect
Dwight D. Eisenhower con
cerning his brother.
Relaxed in a chair backstage
in Schwab Auditorium after his
address, Childs considered the pos
sibility of a post in the new ad
ministration for President Milton
S. Eisenhower. He reported Ike's
words of praise for his brother
and conjectured that Milton would
be called into government service.
"Should 'your President Eisen
hower' turn down a post in Wash
ington," the columnist said, "I be
lieve that President-elect Eisen
hower would still desire to call
on him several times a week for
consultation."
Stevenson Modest
i i .. -, GOAL,
Following a barrage of audience
questions, to which Louis Bell,
chairman, finally had to call a
halt, Childs took a moment to an
swer more questions for Collegian
on politics, himself, and how to
succeed in the newspaper busi
ness.
His steel-gray hair and neat,

SMIM
Approval of the Association of
Independent Men's Board of Gov
ernors to investigate the possi
bilities of the proposed AIM Judi
cial Board of Review was given
by the West Dorm Council re
cently.
Robert Hance, council president,
explained the proposal, and asked
the floor presidents to consult
residents in their respective areas
to determine whether the students
believe they would be more fairly
disciplined by the Dean of Men's
office or fellow students.
The council rejected a revision
of the Recreation Hall seating
plan, proposed by Ernest B. Mc-
Coy, dean of the School of Phy
sical Education and Athletics.
Under the revised plan, sponsored
by Joseph Somers, the council
would approve the ttec Hall pro
posal, provided better seats at
football games were furnished
students.
Previously, the council had ap
proved a plan for seating 300 non
students with dated tickets.
Nominations for West Dorm
representatives at large to the
AIM Board of Governors will be
open until Nov. 24, John Lyon,
West Dorm Council elections com
mittee chairman, announced.
Any independent student living
in the area is eligible to run. A pe

dark blue suit making him•a per
, feet subject for "Man of Distinc
tion" advertising, Childs turned to
speculation on future plans of two
other prominent political figures,
President Truman and Governor
Stevenson.
"Governor Stevenson is by na
ture modest and retiring," he said,
"and would probably like to settle
back to .his law practice." But - the
flock of telegrams pouring into
the governor's offices, he con
tinued, would indicate that pres
sure would have hirn\run again.
Stevenson will finish out his term
and then set out on a lecture tour,
Childs speculated.
Hopes to Travel
As for President Truman, Childs
cited the Truman ambition to
travel around the world and the
plan to set up a library of his
papers. "President Truman will
no doubt write articles for maga
zines and there is talk of a joint
television offer with Margaret.
She will sing:- and he, play the
piano," remarked the columnist
with a twinkle in his eye.
Having abandoned his annual
trip abroad this yligar in order to
cover the election campaigns,
Childs has tentatively planned his
next year's travel. He hopes to
go around the world, with special

to write another book, having al
ready authored several best 'sell

The son of a lawyer and grand
son of a farmer, Childs entered
journalism because he "wanted to
write."' He studied journalism at
the University of WisconSin and
graduated with a BA in 1923.
Strong Feet NeceSsary
Work on the St. Louis Posf-Dis
patch helped to make Childs the
liberal new§paperinan he is today.
He recalls a "brilliant managing
editor" who s e forcefulness col
ored much of Childs' early style
and writing. He entered the col
umn writing business eight years
ago when he was aslced to take
ov e r a friend's column at his
death.
"Curiosity is the first and last
prerequisite for a newspaperman,"
the syndicated Washington col
umnist for United Features re
vealed. "He must have every kind
of curiosity —a b out people and
what's going to happen in the
world. And, incidently, he must
have strong feet."
