Parents Given
Custody of 2
Dorm Prowlers
Two borough youths, caught af
ter they had entered White and
McElwain Halls Thursday night
have been turned over to their
parents for disciplinary action,
Capt. Philip, A. Mark of the Cam
pus Patrol, reported yesterday.
One of the boys was caught by
campus patrolmen, but the other,
chased by coeds from McElwain,
was able to escape until yesterday
when he was questioned by Cam
pus Patrol officers. Captain Mark
said he was the one who had
entered both buildings. The youth
confessed, Mark said,after he had
been told he could be identified
by the coed.
The father of the boy caught
in the dormitory told Mark yes
terday he was surprised his son
had been involved. Mark reported
the father said he did not even
know the boy was interested in
girls.
According to Miss Elizabeth B.
Laird, head hostess in McElwain,
the boy had been seen prowling
through the, dormitory before.
Last night he entered a coed’s
room and told her he had a knife
before she routed him from her
room and set him to flight. How
ever, the boy did not threaten
her. she said.
The other boy. standing outside
the building, was caught by cam
pus patrolmen. He did not enter
either building, Mark said... The
boy refused to identify his com
panion, but Mark said he had
little trouble locating the prowler.

Allies to Get U.S. Atomic Data
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (AO—
The United States is going to give
Britain and Canada a fill-in on
some of the devastating effects of
its latest atomic weapons.
The Atomic- Energy Commis
sion said today that arrangements
are being made to exchange, -with
its wartime atomic partners, in
formation on the “effects of atom
ic weapons on human beings and
their environment” ef fec t s
which would include those result
ing from exposure to blast, heat
and radiation from bombs.
AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss
has hailed the new move as one
aimed at “improving our ability
to defend ourselves against the ef
fects of atomic weapons,” but he
said the exchange “does not en
vision any disclosures about the
nature of our atomic weapons
themselves.”
An AEC information spokes
man said the new move would
mean, “updating” Britain and Ca-

The Department of Military

ed all college seniors enrolled in
the Army ROTC program will, be

after their graduation in June.
The information was given by
James P. Mitchell, acting assistant

power at Fort McPherson, Ga.
Mitchell did not say whether
men who are now freshmen, soph
ompres, or juniors in the ROTC
program will be commissioned in
the Army when they finish 'the

from the already publicly describ
ed effects of the original bombs
dropped on Japan in 1945.
While he offered no amplifica
tion, the “updating” term con
ceivably means giving Britain
and Canada an idea of what ef
fects might be expected from this
nation’s improved bombs, , perhaps
even including the projected H
bomb.
The potential power of Amer
ica’s latest models is clearly im
plied in a recent statement by
AEC Commissioner Thomas Mur
ray.
In a speech in Seattle last May
Murray said;
“Today man . . . can, as it were,

PITTSBURGH —Once again Penn State University’s foot
ball eleven arrives here at the Smokey City as the underdog
against its traditional rival —the Panthers of Pitt. Although
Coach Rip Engle’s gridders are not favored for the season’s
finale, today, his reserves are capable, spirits are high, and
“bring ’em on!” is the challenging cry from the Lions.
Kickoff time at Pitt Stadium is 1:30 p.m.
Seven players, including Penn
State's co-captains, quarterback
Tony Rados and end Don Malinak,
will close out their college careers
today. The other Lion stalwarts
are Dick Jones, Don Eyer, Keith

wins over Virginia and North
Carolina while Penn State downed
Fordham and Rutgers.
A 1 Michaels,. Lion scout, called
Pitt “a - vastly better team than
its 3-4-1 record would indicate.”
Michaels, who scouted the Pan
thers in their losses to North
western and Minnesota as well as
their wins over Virginia and North
Carolina State, said Pitt’s defense
was sound, even without the in
jured Eldred Kraemer—an all-
American last year. He termed
Pitt’s ground game “decidedly
above average.”
“We can’t give up touchdowns
like we have been and beat
Pitt,” the Lion scout explained.
"This Pitt team is too strong de
fensively and far too dangerous
offensively for that kind of foot
ball.”

Student Reported
To Dean of Men
A “peeping tom” report concern
ing a first semester horticulture
major was received yesterday
from Campus Patrol, the Dean of
Men’s office said yesterday.
The student will receive a hear
ing on Monday or Tuesday, Frank
Men’s office said.
According to Capt. Philip A.
Mark of the Campus Patrol, the
student was apprehended about
12:30 a.m. yesterday in the area
of McElwain Hall.
There is no relation between
this incident and the two borough
youths caught in women’s dorms
Thursday night, Mark said.
The information to be shared
presumably will include the re
sults of studies made of a model
community that was set up and
atom-bombed ip. the Nevada des
ert last March.
The AEC statement noted that
Chairman Strauss referred to
“this additional exchange” in a
speech at Richmond, Va., last
night and added that it will be.
“carried out by the direction of
the President and with the con
sent of the Joint Congressional
committee on atomic energy.”
_ The statement gave no indica-
tion of what type of information
now is being exchanged among
the three countries. The United
States stopped trading atomic se
crets after the arrest of British
scientist Dr; Allan Nunn May in
connection with a Soviet spy ring
operating in Canada. -

Amendments
Are Read
To Cabinet
Two amendments to the AIL
College Constitution were read
for the second time in All-Col
lege Cabinet Thursday night.
The amendments must be read
at the next meeting before action
can be taken on them.
The first would permit decis
ions of the elections committee
to be appealed to cabinet. At the
present time there is no appeal
for decisions of the elections
committee.
The other would give the Inter
fraternity Council Board of Con
trol and the Association of Inde
pendent Men’s Judicial Board of
Review responsibility for penal
izing students for conduct detri
mental to the fraternities and
independents of the University.
This would make the Board of
Control similar to the Judicial
Board of Review, which is now
responsible for detrimental inde
pendent behavior.
James Musser and Hugh Cline,
freshman, and sophomore class
presidents, were sworn into of
fice by All-College President
Richard Lemyre. Musser replaces
James Bowers and Cline, Robert
Homan.
Homan was named by Lemyre
to head a committee to study the
selection of candidates for “Who’s
Who in American Colleges and
Universities.”
Three members of cabinet,
Harry Shank, president of the
Education Student Council; Joe
Somers, president of the Associa
tion of Independent Men; and
Neil. Yocum, president of the
Chemistry-Physics Student Coun
cil; were nominated as cabinet
representatives on a trip to the
United Nations. Lemyre said the
executive committee of cabinet
will draw lots to select the two
who will go.
