Social Code
Statement
Is Approved
Faculty and administrative ap
proval of the new statement of
policy on the social situation at
the University was completed
when the Council of Administra
tion endorsed the policy.
The University Senate approved
the policy statement Thursday
upon recommendation of the Sen
ate committee on student affairs.
The new policy, which will go

W-4 and W-5 (prohibiting the
serving of alcoholic beverages at
social functions).
Special privileges will be grant
ed to fraternities which employ
housemothers and to those who
apply for and receive classifica
tion as "dry" houses.
Under the revised drinking
rules, which will come before the
Senate for final approval April 1,
responsibility for good conduct
and conformance to the laws of the
borough, Commonwealth, and na
tion, will be placed upon the stu
dent organizations.
The policy statement said polic
ing of all University-related social
functions is infeasible.
Under the chaperoned dating
code, there will be no differentia
tion between, freshman and upper
classwomen in regard to frater
nity dating, according to Wilmer
E. Kenworthy, director of student
affairs. At present freshman wom

Guillermo Toriello told report

"more important matters than to
hear such people in the ridiculous
and stupid role of discussing de
mocracy."
The speaker, Dominican For

had assailed countries which
"help Soviet Russia" but sit back
and allow the United States to be
attacked.
Toriello, asked if Guatemala
was fighting communism, said ".a

communism included—that harms
democracy."

U.S. Support Grows
It climaxed a day which saw
growing support for U.S. Secre

ready appeared assured.

calls on the countries of th e
Americas to exchange informa

arid to take united action if any
one country should fall victim
to it.

the United States to stay here and
direct the campaign for his reso
lution. Mounting support indicat
ed a major victory for him on the
Latin American diplomatic front.
Withheld Economic Policy
While concentrating on th e
Communist issue, the U.S. dele
gation caused considerable specu
lation here by canceling without
explanation a planned declaration
on economic policy.
Samuel Waugh, assistant secre
tary of state for economic affairs,
was scheduled to spell out today
just what the rest of the hemis
phere could could expect from
the United States in trade and aid.
When he dropped off the speak

gates wondered out loud if there
were some sharp divergence of
opinion within the U.S. delega

Arnelie High Scorer
Brewer came off the Nittany
bench early in the second half and
proceeded to lead the Lion offense
on the floor while he tossed eight
points through the nets. Jesse Ar
nelle, held in check by Rocket
center Burton Spice, was the high
man for the Lions with 13 and
Ro n Weidenhammer accounted
for 11, while Earl Fields added
another ten.
The Nittanies' tight zone de
tense checked the Rockets consid
erably throughout the contest,
forcing them to shoot from out
side, but until the final period
the Ohio quintet completely dom
inated the rebounding and was
able to counter the Penn State
defensive screen.
Lions Foul Heavily
Fouls played the important role
in the first two periods. Captain
Jack Sherry had four against him
before the first hall ended and
Arnelle carried three as the Rock
ets paraded to the line 34 times
in all, scoring on 21 attempts.
Penn State stepped off to a 2-0
lead on Ron Weidenhammer's
corner set shot. The Rockets came
right back with two, and then the
Lions moved ahead and led until
late in the period, when the score
stood at 15-15. With less than a
minute remaining, however,
Weidenhammer's second set and
Bob Rohland's foul point put the
Nittanies out in front 18-15 and
that's the way the period ended.
Then in the second quarter the
Rockets opened up. They tossed
in 15 points—nine of them from
the foul line—while the Nittanies
could muster only nine. Toledo
led at •the half, 30-27. Phil Mar
tin's set from the side knotted
the count, 20-20, early in the
period after Toledo had collected
three straight charity points. And
from there the tall Rockets, out
rebounding the Lions, began to
increase the margin.
Rockets Lead at Half
The Lions finally managed to
stop their fouling late in the
period and two consecutive push
shots by Jimmy Brewer tied the
score at 27-27. However, John
Pazdzior's jump from the pivot
and Martin's fourth foul point of
the period moved Toledo back out
in front, 30-27.
The Lions faded dangerously in
the first half of the third frame.
Martin, who topped the game's
scorers with 25 points, hit con
sistently with his outside se t
shots, and at one point the Ohio
ans led 40-34. But the Lions, thirs
ty for their first opening win in
three attempts at NCAA play,
struck back late in the period
and had the score tied 43-43 at
the end.
Then came the phenominal
fourth quarter. Toledo jumped
ahead 46-43. However, Weiden
hammer's set shot and Fields' foul
point evened the count. Then
Jesse Arnelle dropped a lay-up
after a fast break and State moved
ahead for keeps, 48-46. From there
on in it was all Penn State.
Leading 51-49, the red-hot - Lions
fired in 11 points while the wilted
Rockets could account for only
a single tally. Penn State was
moving away when the final buz
zer sounded.
