Grid Ticket System
Changes Announced
The system for allocating student tickets for the Penn and
Pitt football games has been revised by the Athletic Advisory Board
in a general policy for future away games with those teams, graduate
manager of athletics Harold R. Gilbert has announced.
Infirmary
Functions
Explained
Students should go to the Col
lege Infirmary only for emer
gency treatment on Saturday af
ternoons and Sundays, according
to Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director
of the College Health Service.
Glenn said students are coming
to the Infirmary in increasing
numbers Saturday afternoons
and Sundays for non-emergency
treatment as a. matter of conven
ience: The Infirmary is provided
to handle accidents and illness
after examination and diagnosis
at the Dispensary and to handle
emergency cases when the Dis
pensary is closed.
The Dispensary is open 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and B . a.m. to noon Saturday. Stu
dents should report to the Dis
pensary before going to the In
firmary, Dr. Glenn said.
The College Health Service is
organized to provide for exami
nation, diagnosis, and - treatment
of minor accidents and illness, he
said. Going to the Infirmary on
weekends for non-emergency
treatment places a burden on the
staff .that is not in the operational
'plan, interferes with the care of
students in the Infirmary, and
places responsibility on nurses.
He said no doctors are on duty
unless called in emergency situa
tions.
Glenn said the fee charged for
this service has not be en in
creased for several years and is
below that charged for similar
service at other institutions. He
said he hoped the situation can be
controlled - so that an increase in
the fee or making a charge for
non-emergency weekend treat
ment can be avoided.
White Elected
CPC President
Irwin White was elected presi
dent of Cabinet Projects Council
at the group's meeting last night.
It was the councils first meeting

dent of the council must be a
junior and the, vice president a

cil's constitution.
' The council elected Otto Hetzel

The board's stand on floats and
parades during athletic events,
use of the loudspeakei• for play
by-play description and announce
ments during games, team com
plimentary ticket policies, and
College participation in cross
country meets was clarified and
re-defined at a recent meeting of
the board,
The method to be used in the
future seat allocation will give
students seats in the bottom rows,
extending along the entire Penn
State section, Gilbert said. This
plan will be similar to the method
employed this year at the Pitt
game.
Application Blanks
The price of tickets will be the
same throughout the entire pro
posed student section. Approxi
mately 200 tickets for cripples
and cardiac cases will be excluded
from this number, he said.
Starting this spring, students
will be given application blanks
for tickets to the Penn and Pitt
football games. The applications
will be distributed before com
mencement and pr o b ably col
lected during the summer, Gilbert
said. These applications are simi
lar to those alumni must fill out
for game tickets. The receipt of
these blanks will act as a reserva
tion for ticket preference and give
the Athletic office some idea of
the ticket demand.
Present Policy OK'd
Student members of the board
will screen requests for parades
and floats on the Beaver Field
track during games. Requests
must be submitted in writing to
the Student Union desk one week
prior to the Friday noon preced
ing the game. Requests will be
submitted for final approval to
Hummel Fishburn, professor of
music education, and Ernest B.
McCoy, dean of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics.
Weather conditions, however, will
be the'deciding factor on the day
of the game, Gilbert said.
The board voted to 'sustain The
present policy of not using the
loud speaker for play-by-play de
scription of the games. Complaints
on the part of paying customers
was the reason offered by Gil
bert when asked why no speaker
I would be used.
Loud-Speaker Announcements
He added that facilities were
such that it would be impractical
to use such a system.
Announcements relating to stu
dent, alumni, faculty, and College
functions to be made over the
loud-speaker system must be sub
mitted to the Student Union desk
by Friday noon prior to the game.
These announcements will 'be•
screened by student members of

Campus Chest Total
Reaches Half of Goal
Contributions for the Campus Chest have raised the total to
$6400, only a little more than half the goal of $12,000, according to
Joseph Haines, solicitations chairman.
Haines said compilation of returns has not yet been completed
for student contributions. The same situation exists concerning
faculty contributions, according to
A. H. Imhof, faculty-administra
tion solicitations chairman.
Approximately $5lOO has been
tabulated from student cash con
tributions or pledges. The faculty
administration tabulations have
reached $l3OO.
Haines said solicitors should
turn in the International Business
Machine cards for money pledges
as soon as possible whether or
not students were contacted.
Disappointment .was evidenced,
by officials when at one point
in the drive only $2BOO had been
collected. as compared to $6OOll

Committee to Study Hoover Work
President Eisenhower was not
available for a statement yester
day on how, if at all, this appoint
ment would affect his status with
the College. Unofficial sources
said they believed the appoint
ment would have no effect on his
present duties.
The committee will study the
work =of the Hoover Commission
as well as independent studies on
improving the efficiency of the
executive department of the gov
ernment. One of the independent
studies is being carried on by
Temple University. Dr. Robert L.
Johnson, president of Temple, has
offered the study when it is com
pleted for use by the,Eisenhower
administration.

The Temple study is being fi
nanced by a special fund sub
scribed to by citizens. The prin
cipal object of the Temple com
mittee will be to make recom
mendations fo r simplifying the
structure of the government.
Pr es i dent Eisenhower, along
with two other college presidents,
met with his brother over the
weekend, apparently to discuss
the structure of the government.
The group included two men who
worked on the citizens committee
for the Hoover Report.

Firemen
Fight Blaze
In Borough
A fire, which apparently started
in the basement, brought 50 mem
bers and five fire trucks of the
State College Alpha Fire Com
pany to the residence of Russell
Howell, 324 E. College avenue,
last night. The house is located on
the east side of the Nittany Dell.
Hampered by 25 degree weath
er, the firemen fought for an hour
and a half before getting the blaze
under control. By the time the
alarm was received, the flames
had spread from their source up
through the hollow walls on the
east side of the wood-frame struc
ture, and thick smoke billowed
from every opening on that side
of the house.
Working mostly from the in
side, the firemen smashed through
the walls, and poured streams of
water on the flames. The fire had
climbed to the third floor of the
building, and appeared to be out
of control, but tons of water from
about 25 hoses fina 11 y extin
guished the blaze.
While the majority of the men
worked to extinguish the blaze,
others, including- some unidenti
fied students, were busy removing
clothing and bedding from the
second story rooms.
Damage could not be estimated
at the time, but it is known to
