Day' Beating drums, blasting loud speakers, and a blazing bonfire will highlight "Blue and White Day" tomorrow, the peak of "Beat Pitt Week."

Nelson was summoned before the council to answer questions the council had pertaining to apathy in the Barons. At this time Nelson advised the group to strike the Barons from the council's con stitution and see - up its own social committee. Blame Leadership Nelson told the council the Barons was "too weak to carry out area social activities success fully." He said out of the 23 mem bers of the Barons, no more than three ever attended meetings. In ability to get successfully organ ized because of certain ambigui ties in its constitution, lack of support from member' , -and-'in=. sufficient publicity were the rea sons Nelson cited for the Barons' inability to perform effectively. After hearing Nelson's replies to the council's questions, several members suggested the biggest reason for the Barons' failure lay in its "poor leadership." Donald Douglas, council president, after questioning Nelson further, said, "The chair concludes that . thelack of strong internal leadership was the cause of the poor turnouts at( the meetings." Asks Resignation In the course of Nelson's ques tioning, it was brought out that members had not been properly informed of coming meetings and that failure was due, to lack of action on the part of the Barons' officers. The council then asked Nelson to resign. Nelson did and agreed to hold a meeting of the group tomorrow night for the purpose of allowing the council - to re organize the group. A motion was passed whereby council members (Continued on page eight) 100 Pitt Game Tickets Available in Old• Main Over 100 student tickets for Saturday's Pitt-Penn State foot ball game, priced at $3.50, are still on sale at the Athletic Asso ciation ticket window in 01 d Main.

"It should not be necessary for College offiicals to appeal to mature men and women not to damage property, and not to create spectacles in hotels and other public places. You know what is right and what is wrong. You know what benefits and what hurts the reputation of Penn State. "If and when there are re ported to us the names of stu dents who are guilty of dis orderly conduct, disciplinary ac tion will be taken on the ground that, even though, the incidents were away from the campus, the student has harmed the relation of the College with the people of the state. "Our football team is honor ably representing the College on the field. We who benefit from their efforts should show our pride in them by making citizens generally proud- of us."

Students having petitions ar e asked to bring them to the meet ing at 7 tonight in 317 Willard. (The plan, as presented by Mc- Coy„ asks that a number of seats —about 300—be set aside for sale to interested faculty, alumni, and townspeople at indoor sporting events .in Rec Hall.

Cabinet, - in discussing the plan, is free to amend the original sug gestion and may do so, for a number of 'groups represented on cabinet have approved the plan with certain reservations; for ex ample, asking that the faculty, alumni, and townspeople seats not be reserved.

IS (A')—State Sen. Albert R. Pe chan (R - Armstrong), sponsor of the state's Loyalty Oath Law, said today he "was some what stunned" by appoint ment of Earl G. Harrison as "investigating authority" re-opening of the Macßae lor alty oath case at the College. Pechan, in a letter to President Milton S. Eisenhower, said Harri son, former dean of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania Law School, "was one of the most vehement objectors to the measure" when it was before the 1951 session of the legislature. "Calling in E ar I Harrison is comparable to your brother Ike (Dwight D. Eisenhower) as Presi dent-elect asking Secretary of State Acheson to set up a new foreign and domestic policy," Pe chan wrote President Eisenhower. Harrison Named . Saturday . President Eisenhower acknow ledged receipt of the letter and said he would have no comment. Pechan made the letter public at his home in Ford City. Harrison was named Saturday to serve as "investigating author ity" in reconsideration of the case of Wendell S. Macßae, who was dismissed from the staff Aug. 28 for refusal to answer a question naire set up by the College Loy alty Review Board. Macßae, who has applied fo r reinstatement, said at the time the procedure lacked approval of a representa tive body of the faculty or- staff. He also said the oath he took in joining the Marines still is bind ing. Senator Pechan said in his let-- ter that Harrison appeared at a public hearing before the legisla ture in opposing the bill. He wrote Dr. Eisenhower he thought it "most inconsistent in .your logic that you appoint a person who is an avowed opponent of the mea sure in any form." 'Knows Nothing of Case' Pechan suggested also the ap pointment of Dr. Arthur P. Cole man, president of Alliance Col lege, Cambridge Springs, "if yom must have Harrison to investi gate your program." Pechan ,wrote he knew nothing about the Macßae case but that he felt Gov. John S. Fine and the legislature "will refuse to accept anything less than the law re quired."
