Bulls to Figure
In Dairy Research
Clinton County’s identical twin
bulls, purchased by the College
from Wilbur McClellan, Lock Ha
ven insurance dealer, will play an
role in research at the
College.
The Holstein calves will be
used by the Dairy Cattle Re
search Laboratory- in studies of
the effect of nutritional and man
agement factors upon the growth
and reproductive capacity of
bulls. Since the twins have iden
tical genetical backgrounds, their
use will greatly reduce the num
ber of bulls needed for the study,
Dr. Robert J. Flipse, associate
professor of dairy husbandry,
has announced.
Mammoth Cave, in southwest
ern Kentucky, is the' largest un
derground cavern in the world.
It contains about 100 miles of
explored passages.
Maximum Pledging
Advised by Perkins
Fraternities are encouraged to pledge as many students as pos
sible in order to cope with drops due to the expected, tightening
of draft deferments.
Assistant Dean of Men Haro]
rushing chairmen that, accordini
Selective Service Bulletin by Di
rector Louis B. Hershey, the
combined effect of the decrease
in deferments and the Korean
bill of rights should increase the
number of male students in col
leges.
The net effect on fraternities
will be that more men will be
available for pledging and
that an increased number of
brothers and pledges will be sub
ject to the draft.
Rosfeld Suggests Annexes
Perkins suggested fraternities
pledge more men than they need
so that houses will be full in
September.
Arthur Rosfeld, Interfraternity
Council president, suggested that
fraternities consider setting up
an annex, members who live
outside the house because of a
lack of sleeping space. He pointed
out that an annex would serve
to keep house membership at full
strength in the event of an un
usually large number of drops
caused by the draft or other rea
sons.
Perkins said there will be very
few transfer students next Sep
tember and suggested that frat
ernities pledge their full capacity,
or more, before the end of the

Traffic Jam
Ending-Juba
After a t w o-d a y experience
with traffic changes on Beaver
Avenue, Chief of Police John R.
Juba stated yesterday that the
newly-instituted regulations are
“definitely” ending the avenue
traffic jam.
Parking was eliminated on the
south side of Beaver avenue from
S. Pugh street to Atherton street,
effective Wednesday.
Chief Juba reported a few cars
still parking in the forbidden
area, but the number is rapidly
decreasing to practically zero.
“We’re giving out warnings
now,” he said, “but we’ll have to
start levying fines for violations
at any time.”
Chief Juba commended the
changes recommended by a spe
cial traffic study committee form
ed by Burgess E. K. Hibshman.
The no parking regulations were
established to “simplify travel
ing” and to minimize dangers.
Borough employees, in the
meantime, began installing park
ing meters along the west sides of
S. Frazier and S. Allen streets.
Under new regulations, parking
meters will be provided along
these streets from Beaver to Fos
ter - avenues as a substitute for
the space lost with the Beaver
avenue elimination.
id W. Perkins told a meeting of
g to an article written for the
year. He told the rushing chair
men it was their job to keep the
fraternity system strong by see
ing that all houses have enough
men to function properly.
1.0 Average Required
The fact that the fraternity
system is in good financial con
dition this year was attributed to
the fact that most of the pledg
ing was done in the spring sem
ester, and very few vacancies
were left in the fall.
Freshmen completing their first
semester on campus may be
oledged after 8 a.m. Feb. 14 if
they have the required 1.0 aver
age. Upperclassmen may be
pledged anytime during the
school year if they have the nec
essary average, either a 1.0 All-
College or a 1.0 average for the
previous semester.
Informal bids may be extended
to rushees at any time, but these
informal bids will not be binding
until the official pledge date and
issuance of pledge pins.
Pledge cards and the $2 per
pledge fee for all students pledged
to Feb. 18 must be turned into
the Student Union desk in Old
Main by Feb. 18. Pledge cards
are available at the Student Un
ion desk.
NCAA Ends Trend,
Preserves Fbothall
The recent NCAA decision to outlaw the two-platoon, system, in
football has ended a trend in the grid sport that could only have led
to the complete bewilderment of that intelligent biped, the football
fan.
Can you imagine a future game of football with unlimited sub
stitution and a high degree of spe
cialization? Let us say that State
is playing Michigan State, the
team that had six platoons way
back in 1952, a day of rugged in
dividualism. The Spartans are in
punt formation, and the wind is
blowing from the southwest. ;
Experts Foiled
Of course, the Spartans have
brought in their left-footed kick
er, a specialist on southwest kick
ing, to boot to State’s waiting re
ceiver, who turns out to be a
horticulture major and an expert
on returning kicks on Michigan
blue, grass. State, after the run
back of zero yards, throws in its
eighth offensive platoon, which
has played very well midway
through the first five minutes of
a previous third quarter of the
West Virginia game. '
By this time a “brain,” a fan
who keeps charts on the game,
has been led off the field by his
keepers. Finally at the' end of the
game, after each side has run
through several hundred substi-

NCAA Saves America
■- You know what you have when
nobody wins and everybody is
confused. You have communism.
Football would be branded sub
versive by some later day Mc-
Carthy, and college alumni would
not have anywhere to go on
Saturday afternoons. Besides,
there wouldn’t be -any room in the
stadium for paying customers af
ter all of the players had ' been
seated. Of course, someone , might
propose that about three hundred
seats be saved for a few interest
ed students.
However, the NCAA has saved
the good old American game, no
affront to you English soccer fans,
of’ football for the fans. No long
er will the acrobatic specialists
with five syllable names cavort
on and off the field of "battle to
beleagure the mind of hard think
ing football fans.
