Change Planned
State College telephone numbers, including those at the Uni
versity, will have two letters and five digits starting Aug. 1, Ken
neth A. Bush, assistant manager of the State College Bell Telephone
Co. business office, announced yesterday. •
The new dialing system is the first step toward securing "cus
tomer tolling," which enables the
dialer to place long distance calls
directly to the number desired
without contacting ah operator.
The borough will be known as
`Adams' on the telephone ex
change. Numbers with only four
digits will have five digits when
the new system goes into effect.
The two letters in each number
will be AD for the exchange Ad

Lansdale Comedy 'On Approval'
To Be Presented Friday Night
By EDMUND REISS
When "On Approval" opens at
0 p.m. Friday at Center Stage,
play-goers will see an hilarious
farce-comedy by Frederick Lons
dale.
Tickets for the show, which will
run for five weekends, are on sale
at the Student Union desk in Old
Main and at the door of the thea
ter.
Lonsdale was born on Feb. 5,
1881 on the Isle of Jersey, in the
English Channel, and although he
is not one of England's foremost
playwrights, he has succeeded in
capturing the imaginations of
audiences, not only in the British
Isles, but in her possessions,- the
the continent and America as
well.
Social Satirist
Lonsdale',s usual type of com
edy isn't the sophisticated, high
comedy that has usually been as
sociated with English humor of
the last 50 years. He is a social
satirist, but rather than get dis
gusted at the problems and mis
takes of the world, he laughs at
them. In this way his works are
of mnnn , n•s, and rather
h the I-.iit?.r

Czekaj requested that students
get tickets at the Athletic Associ
ation office rather than at Recrea
tion Hall on the night of the event.
He explained that if this is done
the Athletic Association will have
a better idea of how many stu
dents plan to attend each pro
gram. This information is needed
to determine how many tickets
are to be placed on sale to the
public.
Engineering Prof
Disclaims Fears
Of Radioactivity
Have no fears about becoming
radioactive when campus winds
blow after the University's nu

You won't. Reassurance comes
from William Breazeale, professor
of nuclear engineering, who will

Fact is, you probably won't

ion factory. There will be an ex
clusion area around the building.
Persons who are admitted will be
escorted by safety personnel or
will have ha d instructions in
health physics procedures.
Plans call for the reactor to be
built within a year on a site east
of the Nittany Dormitory area,
near Entrance road.
As an additional safety feature,
the reactor will be kept in a
pool of water deep enough to ab
sorb all neutrons and gamma
rays. The water in the pool will
not be drained until its radioac

As a young man, Lonsdale, who
was born Fredrick Leonard, and
later changed his name, served
England as a private in the Army.
After leaving military service, he
went to sea mainly since this was
the life he had known as a boy.
Not only did he become an able

knowledge of things he was later
able to use in his plays.

Prexy Urges Faith
In Freedom Talk
The ideological challenge of militant Communism can be coun
tered by "a dynamic faith in God and clear knowledge of what the
free system truly stands for," President Milton S. Eisenhower said
Monday at the Freedom Foundation ceremonies at Valley Forge.
"We will then be firmly underway on the road to victory in the
moral struggle which today en
velops the world," Dr. Eisenhower
said in a discussion • of Soviet-
American frictions.
Stressing the importance of
faith in God as a basis for today's
living, the President said; "The
cornerstone of the American way
of life is of course our fundamen
tal belief in God. It is on this spir
itual rock—on the conviction that
all men are children of a Supreme
Being—that the free nations of
the West have built their demo
cratic institutions."
Dr. Eisenhower presented the
foundation's fifth annual awards
to the 28 top winners at special
ceremonies marking George
Washington's birthday at the na
tional headquarters of the foun
dation, a converted Revolutionary
war barn.
Among recipients of the awards
were U.S.. Sen. ' Karl Mundt (R-
S.D.), former Postmaster James
A. Farley, the Boy Scouts of
America, News Magazine of the
Screen, and the Reader's Digest.
Former President Herbert Hoo
ver received $5O and a medal for
a speech, "Your Inheritance."
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U.S. am
bassador to the United Nations,
took a similar prize for his talk,
"What Is the United Nations Good

Nittany Area
Students Split
On Dress Rule
Students in the Nittany Dormi
tory area either favor the Sunday
dress rule or are completely op
posed to all dress regulations, a
poll of 14 of the area's 24 dorms
revealed at the Nittany Council
meeting Monday night.
Richard. Steindel, council pres
ident, said 203 students said they
were completely, opposed to the
rule, 206 favored the rule on Sun
day, 17 favored the weekday dress
rule, seven were completely; - for
the rule and two were indifferent.
The dress rule was passed by.
All-College Cabinet Sept. 24. It
provides that men in University
dormitories must wear a coat and
tie to dinner on Sundays and for
coeducational dining. Slacks and
a collared shirt were to be worn
during the week to evening meals.
Little enforcement of the rule in
the Nittany-Pollock dining hall
has been reported. The West
Dorm area has been cooperating
with the rule voluntarily.
Members of the council said
some students in their dormitories
interpreted a story in Friday's
Daily Collegian to mean there
would be no further enforcement
of the dress rule. The story said
the dress rule will not beincor
porated in the contract for next
year as part of requirements set
by the Department of Housing for
students living in dormitories.
