    Good Penn Conduct
Sought by Arnelle
Letter and editorial on page four
All-University President Jesse Arnelle yesterday asked students
to be considerate of the name and prestige of the University in their
conduct this weekend in Philadelphia.
In a statement to the Daily Collegian, Arnelle said: "Needless
to say, many students are excited and happy
,over the news con
cerning the half-holiday.. Likewise the Student Government asso
ciation is happy to have been of assistance in having this proposal
Blue Band
To Perform
At Penn
Eleven players on the football
team are not any more excited
about the big game tomorrow than
92 PlaYers in the Penn State
Marching Blue Band.
Their Halloween routine, work
ed 'out by Hummel Fishburn, pro
fessor of music, will highlight the
half-time intermission.
Before the game, the band mem
bers will enter from the end zone,
playing the "National Emblem
March," and form a large PENN
facing the University of Pennsyl
vania cheering section. Without
a pause they will swing into the
"Penn State Victory Song" and
turn around to form a large
STATE. They will leave the stad
ium from the sidelines.
During halftime, the band will
again come onto the field from
the end zone after the traditional
fanfare to the "Nittany Lion."
Facing the Penn State cheering
section it will speql out PSU and
play the Penn State "Alma Ma
ter. The band will, go into the
formation of crossed bones, while
the announcer explains that Hal
loween season suggested the eerie
routine.
In the crossed bones figure- it
will play "Dry Bones," and then
form a jack-o-lantern.
As the band plays "Peter, Peter,
Pumpkin Eater,".-the jack-o-lan
tern face will change from a
frown to a grin. Then the group
will form a jug and play "Little
Brown Jug."
Fr o m the "Jug" formation
members will form a cat. In the
cat position, they will play and
sing "I Tot I Saw a Puddy Cat,"
while the cat's tail moves up and
down.
From this figure they will out
line: the traditional Halloween
witch and play "Black Magic."
Then they will march off the field
in the witch formation playing
"Happy Wanderer."

German Unity Statement Issued
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (A 3 )—
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
joined West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer today in tying
Germany's reunification hopes to
a strong free Europe rather than
Russia's proposal for .four-power
talks.
In a joint statement the two

materialize.
"However, many of you can re
call or have heard reference to
the incidents which occurred in
Philadelphia after' the University
of Pennsylvania game last year.
Another episode of this nature
would reflect very, very badly on
the University and its prestige.
"Also, it would breach the faith
the Council of Administration
placed on the maturity of the stu
dents when it accepted the half
holiday proposal.
Student Cooperation Asked
"Through joint student govern
ment - administration cooperation
the privilege of extending a half
holiday has been granted. Such
cooperation on the part of the stu
dent body , is needed for the suc
cess of Penn weekend.
"This weekend some seven mil
lion people will be watching the
`game of the week' over the Na
tional Broadcasting Company tele
vision network. And, as Coach
Rip Engle said to the football
squad, it will be the greatest op
portunity that this University
will have had to foster its pres
tige through the play of our foot
ball team and the participation of
the alumni and student body.
Alums Will Help
"The football team will be giv
ing its all, win or lose, to live up
to the good reputation of the Uni
versity, not only on the field, but
also off the field. I am sure that
the alumni will do their share,
and now I am asking you, the
student body, to be as considerate.
"This letter was not written to
put a damper on the fun you
should have this weekend, but to
ask you to be considerate in the
type of enthusiasm you display
throughout the Penn holiday:
"If students demonstrate a sin
cere effort in executing the re
sponsibilities that accord such
privileges as this 'half-holiday, I
am sure that the Student Govern
ment Association and the admin
istration will be helpful in every
way that it is possible, in extend
ing such privileges in the future."
Tickets Available
For Bunche Talk
. Tickets for Ralph T. Bunche's
speech in connection with the
College of Business Adminis
tration's Career Day on Nov. 8
are still available. Very few
tickets were obtained by stu
dents 'yesterday.
Students in the College of
Business Administration may
pick up tickets in 106 Sparks.
Other students may obtain
them at the Student Union
desk in,Old Main. All students
must present matriculation
ccards to obtain tickets.

til 7:45 p.m. after which the

Bunche will speak at 8 p.m.
heads of government said they
have "no doubt that . the strength
ening of free Europe which will
result from the recent London and
Paris agreements will aid our ef
forts to bring freedom and unity
to all of the German people."
They found nothing new in the
latest Soviet note, one of a series
dangling before • West Germans
the lure of a conference of Rus
sia, France, Britain and the Uni
ted States that might end the di
vision of their country. Eisen
hower and his guest, Adenauer,
agreed: •

"It is our initial view that this
does not seem to offer any new
proposal on the part of the Soviet

reiteration of the positions taken

ence in Berlin'regarding Germany
and European security."
Thus Adenauer received re-

Chartering Altered,
Amendment Held
Cabinet OK Lacks
Two-Thirds Vote
By DON SHOEMAKER
An amendment which would haVe established
a set procedure for substitutions on All-University
Cabinet was defeated by cabinet last night be
cause of the lack 'of a two-thirds vote necessary to
amend the All-University Constitution.
The vote was 15 in favor of the
amendment, six against, and three
abstentions. •
The • amendment, proposed by
Benjamin Sinclair, president of
the Board of Dramatics and For
ensics, would have provided that
in the absence of a cabinet mem
ber, the constitution of the absent
members organization would be
the determining factor in filling
the seat. If there is no provision
in the organization's constitution,
the vice president would be seat
ed and thereafter seating would
be granted according to the hier
archy established by the - organ
ization's constitution.
Amendment Provides
The amendment also provided
that in the case of a vacancy in
the All. University offices, those
chairs should remain vacant.
The amendment which was de
feated last night was the original
amendment which Sinclair pre
sented L to •cabinet two weeks ago.
Cabinet voted last night to strike
out the amendment proposed last
week by John Speer, All-Univer
sity vice president.
Speer's amendment would have
provided that in case of a vacancy
in the All-University offices, the
chairman of Tribunal or Judicial
in that order would sit on cabinet.
Judicial, Tribunal ex-officio
The amendment was voted
back to its original form because
it was felt that since the chairman
of Tribunal and Judicial are al
ready ex-officio members of cab
inet, and therefore could not as
sume a seat for someone else.
Thomas Kidd, cabinet parlia
mentarian, pointed out that ac
cording to parliamentary law, an
ex-officio member of a body is
entitled to a vote in his own right
by virtue of his office. Kidd point
ed out that this is not !followed at
the • University. "Penn State, by
tradition, defines 'ex-officio' as
without .a vote," he said.
Leese Explains Vote
Watson Leese, president of the
Liberal Arts Student Council, told
Cabinet his council had voted
against the amendment because it
felt that' members of a judicial
body should not have a vote on
legislation. He then moved to
strike the second part of the
amendment as altered by Speer,

newed support from the highest
level of the U.S. government for
his campaign to have the Ger
man Parliament put its trust in
the Paris and London agreements
on German sovereignty and re
armament.
These agreements, completed
only five days ago, must stand
their chances in all the parlia
ments concerned, including the
West German. Russia, implacable
foe of German rearmament, can
be expected to redouble efforts to
defeat them, perhaps by more ,
in
sistence on four-power talks on
German reunification, perhaps by
more spectacular moves such as
withdrawing troops from East
Germany or proposing a peace
treaty with neighboring Austria.
Today's statement was issued
after Adenauer met for half an
hour with• Eisenhower and an ad
ditional hour and a half with Sec
retary. of State. John Foster. Dulles.

from the University and Michigan
State combined ideas, planned a
design for the stamp, and sub
mitted the design to the Post

artist in' the. Post Office depart
ment who. must give the final
approval on the design of the

Parties Must Get
Senate Approval
By MIKE MILLER
All-University Cabinet last night decided it did
not have power to charter political parties and
recommended to the elections committee that they
change the elections code to read that political
parties will be chartered by the University Senate
committee on student affairs.
The action was taken after
more than an hour debate as to
whether cabinet could charter
political parties.
George L. Donovan, director of
the Associated Student Activities,
said Cabinet does not have power
to charter campus groups. He said
this power rests solely with the
senate committee.
Kidd Quotes Constitution
Thomas Kidd, Cabinet parlia
mentarian, quoted the All-Uni
versity constitution as giving cab
inet power to "charter and re
move charters" of campus groups.
Donovan, however, stated that
was in violation of accepted prac
tice on campus. He said campus
political parties have always been
given rooms in which to meet by
the scheduling officer because the
administration has felt they are
part of student government.
He said groups are granted
these rights only if they are char
tered by the senate committee.
Kidd, Donovan Agree
Kidd agreed with Donovan, and
suggested that cabinet should or
der , political parties _to seek a
charter from the senate commit
tee.
Gordon Pogal, Lion Party clique
chairman, before presenting his
constitution, asked cabinet why
he had to present the constitution.
Kidd said the reading was re
quired to see if the constitution
was legal and conformed to the
elections code.
Pogal asked why this was nec
essary since the elections com
mittee is a cabinet-appointed com
mittee and had already approved
the constitution.
Ellsworth Smith, substituting
for John Carpenter, Interfrater
nity Council president, said the
reason cabinet was required to
pass on the motion was to act as
a check for anything the elections
committee might have overlooked.
(CoVinued on page eight)
University Feb. 22. Plans for the
event have not yet been made,
he said. President Eisenhower will
have to approve the plans.
The request for the Centennial
stamp was first made last year by
Sen. Edward Martin (R-Pa.) at
the request of the Board of Trus
tees of the University during the
session of Congress. The request,
referred from Congress to the
Post Office department, was
turned down by the department.
The denial, sent to President
Eisenhower by S u m m e r f i el d,
stated the request was turned
down because the Post Office de
partment does not issue commem
orative stamps (to honor univer
sities.
He laid there are too many col
leges and universities to make the
granting of these requests prac
tical. •
