Elections Code
Change Asked
(This is the third in a series of articles dealing with
_ this year’s student encampment.)
The political structure of University student government will
be changed if All-University Cabinet approves the revised elections
code tonight. The code was set up by the encampment committee on
“Elections and Nominations.’’
One of the major changes in ■
ment stipulates that the Ail-Un:
Scholarship
Applications
Available
Application blanks for the 1954
Rhodes Scholarships may now be
obtained in 203 Old Main, Wilmer
E. Kenworthy, director of student
affairs, announced yesterday.
Applications must be given to
the secretary of the state selection
committee by Oct. 30. Final selec
tion of Rhodes scholars, who will
enter Oxford University in Octo-|
ber, 1955, will be held in all states
in December.
To_ be eligible for the grant, a
candidate must be an unmarried
male citizen of the United States,
with at least five years resi
dence, between the ages of 19 and
25 on Oct. 1, 1955, must have
completed his sophomore year at
the time of applying, and must
have the endorsement of the Uni
versity.
A. candidate who would other
wise be over the age limit but
has had at least 90 days of active
service with the armed forces
since June 27, 1950, may deduct
his period of service from his
actual age if he will qualify by
- doing so.
The basis for selection of
Rhodes scholarships as set forth
in the will of Cecil Rhodes, found
er of the scholarships are: literary
and scholastic ability and attain
men t s; qualities of manhood,
truthfulness, courage, devotion to
duty, sympathy, kindliness, un
selfishness, and fellowship; exhi
bition. of moral force of character
and instincts to lead and to take
an interest in his fellows; and
physical vigor, as shown by fond
ness for, and success in sports.
Kenworthy also emphasized
that applicants should have at
least a 2.0 All-University average!
average.
The value of a Rhodes scholar
ship is 600 pounds per year. Schol
ars who qualify under the G.I.
Bill of Rights or other military
educational aids will receive the
same benefits at Oxford as they
would receive at an American
college.
Stiva Stresses Need for Military
CoL Daniel F. Riva, who suc
ceeded Lt. Col. Jack W. Dieterle
as professor of air science and tac
tics at the University, Tuesday
addressed 1078 freshmen enrolled
in the Air ROTC program.
The former administrative Sec
retary of Defense, asked .the stu
dents to stop and consider what
freedom really means.
“Traditionally, we have never
been a military nation,” he said.
“However, to preserve our Na
tion in this strange twilight be
tween peace and war, and to keep
our precious freedom,' our leaders
have come to the inevitable con
clusion that a large and strong
military force is absolutely neces
sary.”
Riva said that it was recognized
this is a very expensive way to
preserve peace, expensive if
measured in terms of money, but
very cheap if measured in terms
of human lives.
Surrender is an idea unknown
to us, Riva said. The alternative,
he said, is to maintain a strength
so obvious to a potential enemy
that he dare not attack us for fear
that devastating retaliation would
be brought upon his own country.
A native of East Hartford,
Conn., Riva was graduated from
Springfield College, Mass. He has
completed work toward his mas
ter of arts fv’-c: in governmental
adm.'-.v’t--: lion at George Wash
ington University.
the code as set up by the encamp
tversity clique chairmen shall be
elected by the entire clique. This
is in contrast with present poli
cies of the State and Lion parties.
The Lions Party clique chair
man is elected by the party’s
steering committee, as does the
State Party’s student representa
tive council, which is similar to
the Lion Party’s steering commit
tee.
Another major change in the
proposed elections code states
that the adoption of the code
combined with the presentation
to the cabinet of copies of exist
ing clique' constitutions as amend
ed and extended shall be regarded
as a formal recognition and char
tering of campus political parties
as organized student groups at
the University.
Previously, campus political
parties were not officially recog
nized as organized student groups.
This will bring the parties under
closer control of cabinet.
Voting times remained un
changed in the proposed code.
The recommended code however,
left the dates for elections to be
set by the All-University Elec
tions Committee. The code now in
effect specifies dates and must be
altered for each election.
Two new locations for ' voting
were set up in the proposed elec
tions code. Along with the second
floor of Old Main, the lounge of
Hamilton Hall and Nittany Dorm
20 were also proposed.
The proposed elections code
was one of the most controversial
issues discussed by the encamp
ment. _ The -purpose of the new
code is to establish a permanent
procedure for campus elections.
Previously, the elections code had
to be revised before every elec
tion. i

Pre-Illinois
An estimated crowd of 2500 students, probabiy one of the largest
in recent years, turned out last night to send off the football team
and was sent off itself after an abbreviated pep rally of about 20
minutes. . ' . ’ •. ••,
I The crowd, which flowed out into the road in front of Recreation
Hall entrance and down the street, dispersed uncertainly after: a
short program when an interview
with Co-captains Donald Bal
thaser and James Garrity failed
to materialize
Master of Ceremonies Alec Bel
aisov, seventh semester Agricul
ture economics major, informed
the crowd after a series of cheers,
songs, and a short skit that be
cause the team had just finished
last minute drills for the game
Saturday, the co-captains were
still in the shower, and couldn’t
appear.
After a final cheer, led by Bruce
Coble and the rest of the squad,
and the “Alma Mater” the crowd
stood around uncertainly before
realizing that the rally was fin
ished. Latecomers from Nittany
and Pollock arrived jusrt in time
to leave.
Beliasov was assisted in his skit
by the “Professor,” who, under
the fur coat, was Louis Fryman,
fourth semester business admin
istration major. The cheerleaders
put the crowd through several
cheers before Beliasov took over
the mike. The Blue Band, directed
by James Dunlop, also played
several selectiens.
Dinks predominated in the large
crowd but upperclasses were also
well represented.. The crowd dis
persed in orderly fashion without
much grumbling except by a few
upperclassmen.
