College avenue and charged with the theft of a davenport from a Hamilton Hall lounge. The students were' stopped by borough police at 1:50 a.m. The davenport was tied to the top of their car. They were not held, but were ordered to return the davenport to Hamilton Hall. The case was turned over to University officials. The students will, appear before the Senate committee on student~affairs sub committee on, discipline this morning. The students said they took the davenport to help furnish their downtown apartment. They said they removed the davenport from the lounge, put it on top of their car, and drove downtown where they were stopped by borough police. Dean of . Men Frank J. Simes said he could recall no similar in cident in the past where students had been apprehended in the act. He said, he would not know what disciplinary action would be tak en until-the hearing this morning. Borough Chief- of Police John Juba said the students were not held because the incident was in the jurisdiction of University offi cials rather than the borough pol ice. s Hamilton Hall residents were not aware of the attempted theft because the davenport was re turned so promptly.

Rhodes continued his spectacu lar pinch hitting with a fifth in ning single that tied the score and smashed a solid home run off the facade of the upper right field stands in the seventh to give the young Giant southpaw a more comfortable working margin. His homer was a genuine blow, in sharp contrast to the pinch pop fly that won the opener yester day in the 10th inning. Tribe Leaves 13 Antonelli, the 21-game winner VOL. 55. No. 12 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1954 FIVE CENTS 'Fair' Theme Set For Spring Week By MIKE MILLER Spring Week will follow a “Country Fair” theme this year in honor of the University’s MOth birthday. All-University Cabinet Centennial committee, The resolution adopted "Who's Who Post Rejected by Slm.es Dean of Men Frank J. Simes last night asked All-University Cabinet to delete his name from the “Who’s Who in American Col- leges and Universities” selection .committee list and voiced his dis approval of the publication. Simes was listed as one of ten committee members in a report seeking the revision of selection of candidates for the book. The book has been' disapproved by the National Association of Student Personnel Administra tors, he said. George Donovan, ■ director of student affairs, asked cabinet to postpone action on the selections committee until a thorough re evaluation of the book could be made. “Who’s Who” is an annual di rectory of the names of students prominent at colleges and univer sities throughout the country.' This issue came before cabinet last night because of dissatisfac tion over University nominations for the book last year. In the re port presented by All-University Secretary-Treasurer Robert Ho man, a permanent selections com mittee had been named. The committee would consist of the Deans of Men and Womea, Director of Student Affairs, All- University president, senior class president, the editor of the Daily Collegian, and the presidents of the Interfaternity and Panhellenic Councils, the Association of Inde pendent Men and Leonides. Previous to the statement by Simes, it had been proposed that the All-University president and the last four officers named above be eliminated from the commit tee, Benjamin Sinclair, representa tive of the Board of Dramatics and Forensics, suggested that instead five cabinet members be chosen by lot. On this proposal, Donovan point ed out that a freshman (freshman class president) would soon be (Continued on page eight) the Giants snared from Milwau kee in a deal'for Bobby Thomson last, winter, skirted several shaky situations to leave 13 Cleveland men on base.

He never was home free, struggling up the road with In dians to left and right of him all the way. Trouble In Ninth Even in the ninth he was in trouble.

Other team members who had, a. few words to say were Lenny Moore, Gene Danser, and Otto Kneidinger. The Penn State marching Blue Band, under the direction of James Donlap, opened the rally with their rendition of the St. Louis Blues March. Other selec tions played were “Victory,” “Fight on State,” and the Alma Mater. ..

The Spring Week committee members are Joseph Barnett, chairman; Richard Favro, Ross Clark, Carol Avery, Nancy Sco field, Donald Bell, Otto Hetzel, and Diehl McKalip. Under the resolution the Spring Week committee will be required to set up booth categories, such as reviews, chance games, children’s shows, etc.: The judging‘of these shows wiS place more than 50 per cent em phasis on originality and good taste and not be entirely on the basis of the number of tickets sold as in the past. Shows will ■be judged only against those in their own class, however, to eliminate inequali ties, McKalip said. McKalip explained the commit tee felt it necessary to place em phasis on originality and good taste in order to eliminate the racy shows that have been preva lent in the past. The Centennial committee’s re port also specifies that prizes in the float parade this year will be given to the first three places in each category rather than only to the first place winners. Under the new rules adopted, the Madhatter’s parade will be held in the early evening rather than at noon. The parade will fol low a route from Home Eco nomics to Pugh street, along Sen ior Walk to the Mall, and then to Old Main in order to provide greater audience participation. The encampment committee was the first student committee to discuss the Centennial? A Univer sity committee has been function ing for more than two years. The University group has rec ommended a University birthday party for Feb. 22 in the Hetzel Union Building. The student com mittee expanded on this and rec ommended joint open houses at all fraternities and dormitories fol lowing the “birthday party.” Exchange dinners will be held between sororities and fraternties in celebration of the event on that day. Following the dinners the groups can then listen to the fes tivities at the HUB and hold mix ers. In another recommendation the committee asked that the colleges hold their open houses on the same day this year in order to attract more visitors to campus. Robert Homan, All-University secretary-treasurer, asked' Cabi net to approve the allocation of $4lO to buy coat racks for use at Rec Hall on big weekends.
