P*W3E TWO
Joint Customs
Produces New
Freshmen women felt the sting of joint customs day yesterday as new interest was
revived in. the customs program.
“It’s great,” was the way Elaine Chaitt, first semester education major, described the
joint enforcement.
However, enforcement by upperclasswomen was still sadly lacking. Thorughout the
day only freshman women were seen doing their songs and cheers for the upperclassmen.
Joan Delacy, a first semester
journalism student, said the joint
enforcement put more spirit into
the whole program. “It’s more
collegiate,? she said.
The freshman coeds found many
of the questions asked them by
upperclassmen a little difficult to
answer. One girl was asked,
“What is written in parentheses
above the third stanza in the Alma
Mater?” “How many trees in Hort
Woods?” was another question
asked the girls.
Upperclassmen Friendlier
Many of the freshmen felt that
the upperclassmen were much
friendlier than when the regular
program was in effect. Upper
classman Richard Carson, an
architecture major, felt the entire
customs program should be jointly
enforced. “Everyone gets more fun
out of customs during joint en
forcement and the program goes
over better,” he said.
Some freshman men felt joint
customs and the program as a
whole was good but thought that
customs should be lifted after
5:30 p.m. everyday. Ronald Dush
off, first semester business major,
said wearing customs all day was
too much.
\ Dating Regulations
Freshman women in Thompson
Hall were confused as to when
they could and could not date.
A sign in the main lounge said
freshman women could not date,
talk, or associate with a male after
5:30 p.m.
According to the dating regula
tion, freshman women may not
date after 5:30 p.m. but may talk
to men. Dating is defined as a
prearranged meeting.
One remark made by a num
ber of the freshman coeds was
that the boys “kept us bouncing
all day.”
“For every other step we took
we had to curtsy,” Joan Heilman,
home economics major, said.
Frosh Women Surrounded
Most of the day one or two girls
were surrounded by large groups
of upperclassmen. Very seldom
were more frosh seen with a group
of men.
. Freshman violators will appear
before the Freshman Customs
Board at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the
student government room, 204 Old
Main, to tell what they got out
of the customs program.
The regular customs program
will go back into effect today.

Perm State Room
Provides History
Penn State becomes a legend to anyone who visits the Penn
State Room on the fourth floor of the Pattee Library.
It would take days to go through all the volumes and relics of
the past history of the University that are stored there, in spite of
the catalogued system set up to help visitors doing research or
just plain sightseeing.
Hundreds of volumes of -the
many Penn State publications
haye been collected and bound
for display on the shelves 'that
reach from floor to ceiling around
the room. Among these are com
plete or nearly-complete sets of
Froth, the Penn State Engineer,
Alumni News, the Daily Colle
gian, and University catalogues.
Copies of LaVie reyeal fascin
ating history of past graduating
classes and the campus as they
knew it.

Automobile
Registration
Is High
More automobiles have been
registered by Campus Patrol for
this semester than, any previous
semester, Mark Wiener, chairman
of Traffic Court, announced yes
terday.
The number of autos has also
exceeded the number of available
parking spaces on the campus,
Wiener said. The cooperation of
the student body will be needed
in coping with the problem, he
said.
Traffic regulations for this year,
as announced by Wiener, are as
follows:
Students must report to the pa
trol office within the next full
class day after receipt of a ticket.
Failure to do so will result in an
automatic $1 fine, regardless of
the disposition of the case.
Students will be fined $1 for
a first offense; $3 for a second
offense; $5 and Traffic Court pro
bation for a third offense; $lO and
suspension of campus driving
privileges for 60 days. Following
a fifth offense the car will he sent
home for 16 weeks.
Students planning to operate
a motor vehiclfe (auto, motorcycle
or motor bike) for longer than a
three-week period in the State
College area, must register the
vehicle, regardless of whether a
parking permit is issued. Failure
to comply with this will result in
a $2 fine.
Visiting parents should register
with the patrol if they plan to be
parking on the campus. This will
eliminate misunderstandings.
Any student planning to drive
to the Infirmary or Dispensary
should notify the patrol before
hand.
Cases concerning- graduate stu
dents will be handled by Traffic
Court with a graduate student
present.

THE DATtY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Day
Interest
By INEZ ALTHOXJSE
The following is a portion of
an editorial in. “The Free Lance,”
the college newspaper, in April
1888:
“Ponying becomes indeed a ser
ious matter in a class or college
when it is tolerated by the sanc
tion, not to mention the practice,
of the more stable order of’stu
dents ... It is time for them to
set a price upon their honor
greater than a “mess of potage”
and to vindicate the moral senti
ment of themselves, if not of the
class, .by keeping this practice
from becoming a matter of every
day and universal occurrence.”
The old issues of what is now
the Daily Collegian were also in
teresting. Sports seemed to be the
big topic of interest in “The State
Collegian”, a 4-page paper selling
for 5 cents. The first page of the
paper on Thursday, Oct. 7, 1910,
was almost entirely composed of
sports items, bearing such head
lines as “State Wins Opener”
(with Harrisburg), “Wrestling
Prospects,” and “Sophs Win Push
ball.”
Because of the increasing
crowded condition, of the Penn
State Room, part of the collection
was placed in another room across
the hall. Here are shelves of the
many books donated by 'profes
sors, many of them personally
autographed.
Furniture On Display
The room also contains a vari
ety of pieces of furniture and mo
mentos of past occasions donated
by alumni and friends of the Uni
versity.
Prominent among these are the
desk and chair of Fred Lewis Pat
tee, formerly librarian of the
University. A large portrait of
Pattee and his bookcase are also
on display.
Other items include a 1908 cider
can used to supply a junior with
freshman cider at the time of the
annual “scrap” between the two
classes; a picture of the stile at
the entrance to the campus where
the main gate now stands; a chest
from the class of 1895 containing
hats and umbrellas used by the
class at their 20th reunion in 1915;
the first: diploma of the college,
then the' Agriculture College of
Pennsylvania, signed by William
Allen, second president of the
college in 1865; and Ralph Dorn
Hetzel’s desk and chair.
Encampment
Seeks Forum
(This is the fourth in a series of articles dealing with this
year’s student encampment.)
Students’ fees may be raised to include funds to support the
Community Forum if the recommendation proposed by the encamp
ment committee on “cultural and social aspects” is put into effect
by All-University Cabinet. ; v ~
Students, in supporting the Community Forum through their
fees, would be able to attend the \ ■
forum without added cost, as they

forum in the student activities emceed “Information
fee. The encampment group felt
that by using students’ fees to
raise funds for the foriim, better
speakers could be obtained and
would increase student interest.
Paid Student Commitments
In another proposal, the com
mittee urged cabinet to appoint a ,
highly qualified committee to ,
look into technical details of a
program with the Community
Concerts Company. This proposal
includes the working out of de
tails for getting paid commit
ments from students before mem
berships are actually sold.
In previous campaigns, the con
cert group sold memberships to
the concert series and then sched
uled performers who wopld cor
respond with the amount of
money which the company col
lected. It was hoped by the en
campment committee that paid
student commitments would
raise the membership in the con
cert series.
Cabinet was scheduled to act
on the Community Concert recom
mendation last night.
Religion-In-Life Program
In an attempt to further the
Religion-In-Life program, the en
campment group set up four pro
posals to the committee of 13 to
be transmitted through the office
of the University chaplain. The
committee is a group appointed
by President Milton S. Eisen
hower to aid the University chap
lain.
To this committee, the encamp
ment group proposed that each
religious tradition (Roman Catho
lic, Jewish, : and Protestant) pro
vide a special program for the
University. The group also sug
gested that the three traditions
provide a non-credit curriculum
in religion which would be pro
moted on an Inter-religious basis.
The committee also suggested
that the committee of 13 in po
operation with responsible groups,
provide a year-round program of
fireside meetings in living units.
The final proposal suggested that
the committee of 13 plan a
brotherhood program with inter
religious, inter-racial and inter
national emphasis.
In its last recommendation, the
encampment group urged that
the University committed on
space allocation be presented the
recommendation that Players be
given the use of the Temporary
Union Building Friday and Satur
day nights as Center Stage is no
longer available. The stage group
would pay the operational fee,
the committee stated.
They suggested that other
groups would be permitted to
use the building during the week.
Leyasmeyer to Speak
Karlis Leyasmeyer, European
author, editor, and educator will
give a lecture at 7:30 tonight in
405 Old Main. The topic will be
“How to Solve the Three Tragic
Problems of Present Day Life.”
