The meeting was announced by John Lyon, acting clique chairman. Persons other than those on the Council who wish to attend to night’s meeting should contact Lyon. No one will be admitted to the Board To Hold Joint Frosh Customs Today Another Joint Customs Day will be held today, Ann Leder man and Hugh Cline, co-chair men of the Freshman Customs Hoard, have announced. A board meeting, scheduled for 7:00 tonight in the student government room, 204, Old Main, will try approximately 30 cus toms violators. The violations, for the most part, have been failure to wear dress customs and to car ry freshman handbooks. Any freshman who has lost his dink or handbook should report to the Student Union desk in Old Main where exception cards will be issued. Cline has urged students to be courteous and friendly during customs. Hazing will not be per mitted. c He believes both freshmen and upperclassmen should reg ax d customs as fun and should devel op the right attitude throughout the remainder of the program. The success of joint customs days in contrast to the lack of spirit during the regular program has prompted the additional joint customs days. The official end of customs has been set for noon Saturday. How ever, freshmen will be required to wear their dress customs to the first two home football games and will not be admitted without them. Moore Selected 'Athlete of Week' Lenny Moore, junior halfback sensation on the Nittany Lion football team, gained the Daily Collegian’s ‘Athlete of the Week’ award with his. fine display of ball-carrying in leading the Lions to a 14-12 conquest of highly ranked Illinois Saturday. Moore, a product, of Reading, was a unanimous choice in the initial poll conducted by the Col legian’s sports writers. The six foot, 180-pound gridder averaged 7.3 yards on 17 carries, good for 124 yards. Moore’s brilliant ball-totting overshadowed that of J. C. Caro line, the Illini’s All-American re cord-smashing sensation, and was one of the major factors in Penn State’s amazing win. , An ‘athlete’ will be chosen by the Collegian each week through out the remainder of the athletic year. Communis! Refugee Flees to U.S. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (JP) — An escapee from behind the Iron Curtain, a top ranking Polish se curity "officer, turned up in Wash ington today. He declared that re sistance to Communist regimes is widespread throughout the Soviet satellite countries. The official is Jozef Swiatlo,Vho was No. two man in Communist Poland’s security program; The U.S. government had kept him secretly in Washington for eight months, and lifted the .veil of sec recy only today. No one explained the delay.

(Ml election without permission, he said.' The election of a clique chair man tonight will end a 10-day period in which the party has had five heads. John Fink, last year’s clique chairman, announced his resig nation Sept. 20, and appointed John McMeekin, fifth semester accounting major, temporary chairman. Appointment Illegal McMeekin announced Sept. 22 that because of constitutional pro visions, his appointment was ille gal, and John Lyon, party vice clique chairman, assumed the chairmanship. Rae DelleDonne, seventh se mester home economics major, was elected chairman by the rep resentative council --at a special meeting that night. However, the All-University elections commit tee Sunday declared Miss Delle- Donne’s election void, and Lyon resumed his post as acting chair man. The committee ruled that the party had complied with the “let ter of the law” in that a quorum was present for the meeting. But, the committee ruling continued, the party had violated the -“spirit of the "law” in calling' the special meeting.'- ' Spirit Violated : Ernest Famous, committee chair man, said the spirit was violated because the meeting was called less than four hours before it was to be held. Tonight’s election will’ be held under last semester’s elections code. According to the new code, adopted by All-University Cabinet Thursday night, the chairman is to be elected at an open meeting of the entire clique. Because there is no official list of last semester’s clique member ship available, the elections com mittee decided to have the coun cil elect the clique.officers. Method Prevents Attendance This method of election would prevent Lion Party members or students not affiliated with a par ty from attending, or students who had . lost last semester’s State Party registration cards could be barred, the committee ruled. . The representative council con sists of the clique vice chairman, secretary, treasurer, secretariat, co-chairmen of eight committees, the chairmen and secretary of each class clique, a representa tive from each college, a frater nity representative, a sorority representative, independent men’s and women’s representatives, arid the chairman of the advisory com mittee. Swiatlo, a stocky, ruddy ■ faced man of 39, spoke with newsmen at a far-ranging press conference at which he said: 1. Active revolt against the Communists in Iron Curtain coun tries is a virtual impossibility now because “The Red army is every where.” But the United States “should do everything it can to bolster the spirit of resistance.” 2. “There is a great movement for resistance” against the Mos cow-directed Red leaders in Po land. - This resistance shows up “among all classes.” '3. He “knows the great major ity of Poles are convinced” that the Polish -victims of the World War II Katyn massacre were “murdered by the Soviets” rather than the" Germans.- me The: Foreign Qper-a&oas Acfoa&n- STATE COLLEGE.

Much of the questioning was concentrated on the case of the Fields. As if to punctuate the dramatic situation, the State Department made public the text of notes sent to the Iron Curtain countries of Poland and Hungary, demanding the release of the Fields. ; The notes said Swiatlo had filled in the missing gaps in the cases of the Fields. The. Field brothers were ac cused of spying for, the . United States. They denied it. Swiatlo said today that he thought they were Communist sympathizers but didn’t know if they were party members.

To what extent such a demand is actually met will depend on policies to be decided soon by University and by the availability of resources over a period of years. “All long-time studies will be presented to the Board of Trus tees who will make policy deci sions on the future direction of the University,” President Milton S. Eisenhower said yesterday. Help with Recommendations “The data are presented to the faculty in the hope that they will help formulate recommendations to the trustees,” he added. The studies, which were pre pared under the direction of C. S. Wyand, executive assistant to the president, assume that the de mand for enrollment will amount to 15 per cent of all students reg istered by Pennsylvania colleges and universtities by 1970. Total college enrollment within the state, the study reveals, more than quadrupled during the period from 1900 to 1950. Enrollment reached a total of 107,058 in 1950. Enrollment Grows Penn State attracted 1.4 per cent of Pennsylvania college students in 1900, 12.4 per cent in 1950, and two years later, 13.9 per cent. “It is believed,” the report says, “that the greatest relative in crease in Penn State’s enrollment by. 1970 will, if resources permit, be in the Graduate School (an increase of 1400 students over the 1953-54 enrollment.)” Based on the projection of pre sent trends, total undergraduate enrollment will expand by 6800 students during the same period. This would mean 5700 more men and 2500 more women in the University’s total student body by 1970' Center Enrollment May Grow The studies also show that resi dent enrollment at Penn State undergraduate centers, now to taling 1200; may increase greatly, depending on “University poli cies governing expansion and, to a lesser degree, upon prevailing economic conditions.” No definite estimate was made on summer session enrollment, which has decreased from a high of 1,0,000 students in 1943 to 5800 this past summer.

An advertisement in Friday’s Centre Daily Times urged “aH friends- of ‘State College’ ” to attend the meeting. According to an article which appeared in Monday’s Times, the name change controversy has split the borough’s population in to three groups.

Necessary io End Confusion This group also feels the change is necessary to end the confusion which they say exists outside the community because of the clash .between State College and Uni versity. On the other side are those who wish to retain the name State College. The. proponents of the status quo argue the change is unnecessary because of sent! mental reasons.
