4 Carnival Booths
Warned Last Night
Four of the 37 booths which opened last night at the seventh annual Spring Week
carnival were warned by Spring Week committee and All-University cabinet checkers,
according to Joseph Barnett, carnival chairman.
The shows and the grounds were crowded throughout the evening, but no estimate
on the number of students or the number of tickets sold was available.
Hat Society
Chartered
By Senate
Delphi, new sophomore men’s
hat society, officially received its
charter after being passed by
Senate yesterday. The society will
be the tenth hat group on cam
pus.
Nine new members were tapped
at' midnight yesterday in the
dormitories by the society offi
cers, and met as a group at 7:30
a.m. today at the Lion Shrine.
Tappees are William Kelly,
Robert Steele, Arthur Schrave
sande, Robert Stroup, Edward
Dubbs, Lawrence Jacobson, Fred
eric Keck, Richard Moon, and
George Wills.
The members were selected as
the outstanding men in four di
visions of campus activities—
publications, student government,
athletics, and drama, music, anc
forensics. Selections were basec
on the point system and personal
interviews, Robert Segal, Delphi
president, said.
The tappees will wear signs
containing the Delphi symbol, a
fjame atop a Greek column, for
one week.
The charter members of the
hat society are sponsoring a serv
ice project at the Spring Week
carnival—selling programs of the
week’s activities. The charter
members were last year’s ten out
standing freshmen, selected by
the sophomore class.
Cabinet Applications

Students interested in serv
ing on the All-University Elec
tion Comittee, Foods Commit
tee. and the Cabinet secretarial
staff may apply until noon Sat
urday at the Hetzel Union desk.

ly, he had to crowd the car off the
road.
„ As the three cars stopped on
the by-pass road near University
turkey pens, police said Hawk
jumped out and began using vi
olent language. He was warned to
simmer down, but resisted. A
brief hassle ensued, and police
told the students they were under
arrest.
During the hassle, the students
scuffled with police, and, accord
ing to a Bellefopte officer, “gave
them a tough time.” However, at
no time during the scuffle did the
students use their* fists or strike
a blow, police said. Police report
ed the students appeared to be'un
der the influence of alcohol at
the time.
State police were called to es
cort the men to the County jail
in Bellefonte.
According to Bellefonte police,
the students will probably have to
appear at a hearing in State Col
lege. Exact charges to be made by
State College police have not been
disclosed at the time.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
The groups were warned by
the checkers as not being in good
taste with the standards set up
by the Spring Week committee,
Barnett said. If the show is not
improved and in good taste to
night it will be closed, he said.
There will be no second warn
ings, he added.
Barnett did not release the
names of those warned.
The carnival will continue from
6:30 to 11 p.m. tonight and booths
must be removed from the lot
by 12:30 a.m. Friday, Barnett said.
Judges
Judges for the carnival will re
main anonymous and visit the
shows throughout the evening.
The booths were divided into
four categories—Farmer’s High
School, Agricultural High School,
Pennsylvania State College, and
Pennsylvania State University—
and they brought past Penn Stat
ers back to life.
Carnival-goers saw students
from the last 100 years wander
ing through the crowds advertis
ing their shows on the carnival
grounds situated at the Windcrest
area on the corner of Shortlidge
road and College avenue.
Neon Signs
Numerous neon signs, dancing,
girls, barkers, and singers were
outside booths to lure students
inside to see the shows.
The shows included anything
from splitting atoms to catching
a greased pig. Practically every
show included dancing girls.
There were also many jazz bands
which added to the general con
fusion on the crowded midway.
No more than two tickets may
be charged for each show and
the tickets are on sale at several
booths. All Spring Week proceeds
will go to the All-University Stu
dent Scholarship Fund.
Concessions
Concession stands, rides, and a
souvenir stand sponsored by Del
ta Sigma Pi and the Marketing
Club did a good business, accord
ing to Spring Week committee
members.
Rides included a ferris wheel,
loop-de-loop, flying saucer, and a
merry-go-round.
Fraternity housemothers were
not left out of the event. They
sold homemade food and these
proceeds will also go to the Schol
arship Fund.
Bulganin Requests
Cold War End
WARSAW, Poland, May 11 (JP) —Premier Nikolai Bulganin told
leaders of Soviet bloc countries today that Moscow wants an end
to the cold war, with a Big Four conference, German reunification
and world disarmament.
But he made it clear Russia and its seven European allies, whose
representatives are gathered here,
will go through with plans to pool
their armed forces under one com
mand. They will negotiate a treaty
of mutual security and aid to off
set West Germany’s admission to
NATO.
At the same time Bulganin
called for sweeping governmental
controls over newspapers, radio
and other mass communications
media in all UN countries—west
as well as East—to head off any
“utterances urging war and fo
menting hostility among nations.”
Represented here by their Pre
miers, foreign and defense minis
ters are Russia, Poland, Czecho
slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, East
Germany, Hungary and Albania.
Peiping sent its defense minister
as observer.
Bulganin said repeatedly that.
Patrolmen
Alerted on
Coed Thefts
Campus Patrol will take pre
cautionary measures to prevent
further monetary thefts in wo
men’s dormitories, Captain Phillip
A. Mark of Campus Patroll said
yesterday. An outbreak of thefts
occurred over the weekend in
many of the women’s dorms.
Mark did not elaborate, however.
Although no cases were report
ed to Campus Patrol yesterday,
Mark said the possibility of a new
outbreak, “especially during the
week” was likely. He urged wo
men to lock their doors, closets,
and drawers when leaving the
dorm.
Apprehension of the thieves is
highly improbable, Mark stated,
because, in all likelihood, the rob
beries are “inside jobs.” Most wo
men are good distances away
from their dorms when the rob
beries occur. Mark said this point
ed to the thieves being close
friends of the victimized women.
Pearl O. Weston, dean of wo
men, said yesterday many thefts
had been reported to her by dorm
itory hostesses, but there was lit
tle she could do about them. Too
many women hide their money in
obvious hiding places, she said,
or in places that are known to
too many of their friends.
. In time of need or pressing cir
cumstances it is not uncommon
for women to take money from
their best friends, she stated.
Chapel Choir Elects
Sones to Presidency
Newly-elected officers of the
Chapel Choir are Vernon Sones,
president; Francis Taylor and Pa
tricia Agnew, vice presidents; and
Fay secretary.
Other officers are: George
Buckhout, treasurer; Beau Barnes,
historian; and Gerald Hodge,
Frank Woods, Frank Podleiszek,
James Baker, and John Shaffer,
librarians.
West Germany’s emergence as a
NATO power created a new situa
tion, and that letting the Bonn
regime rearm is a major obstacle
to German reunification.
French delegate Jules Moeh said
the proposals, while needing care
ful study, appear to “adopt near
ly completely the concepts the
French have never ceased to pro
mote.”
The Russian proposal for re
strictions on atomic weapons “may
be important,” said Canadian For
eign Secretary Lester Pearson,
here for the NATO conference.
But Gen. Gruenther said the free
world would be handicapped by
abolishing the atomic bomb “be
cause it is our only chance of
equalizing the present disparity
in conventional power," which
favors the Beds.
