New Seating Plan Announced
Tribunal OK's Hours
Penalties for Men
Tribunal members voted unanimously last night to ex
periment with restricted hours as an additional form of judi
cial punishment for male undergraduate students.
Under the new setup, a student would be required to
stay in his dormitory or place of residence.during the evening
hours. The restricted hours and the length of the restricted
period would be determined by the severeness of the case,
according to Karl Schwenzfeier, Tribunal chairman.

Cars Seen
On Campus
The Campus Patrol has thus far
Received no reports of freshmen
students driving cars on campus
or in the borough.
Under a regulation passed by
the Council of Administration last
Monday, any freshman appre
hended with his car on campus or
in the borough, will be suspend
ed from the University for a se
mester.
- The regulation went into effect
last Monday. All other traffic
rules went onto effect yesterday,
allowing students a day of? grace,
according to Frank J. Sitnes, dean
of men.
The regulation banning fresh
man cars was passed last spring
by the council of administration,
as a partial solution to the park
ing problem. There are more cars
than parking spaces on campus.
This, is the first year freshman
cars have been prohibited.
Commuting and physically
handicapped freshmen may apply
for exemption from the auto rule
only if they do not plan to drive
cars on campus or in the borough
for pleasure.
Women students, except for
eighth semester students and
those given temporary' approval,
are also not allowed to keep cars
at the University. Those wanting
to keep autos for short periods of
time must receive prior permis
sion from the dean l 'of women.

STATE COLLEGE. PA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 21, 1955
Schwenzfeier said that the pun
ishment would be considered by
Tribunal to be a "serious one.”
Tribunal Would Check
Spot checks by members of Tri
bunal would be made to see that
the student obeys his punishment.
The plan would' have to be
worked largely on the honor sys
tem, Schwenzfeier said.
"The new system would not cut
out the student’s extra-curricular
activities,” he said, "but it would
keep him in (his place of resi
dence) in the evenings.”
He said the student could pre
sent a schedule of his evening ac
tivity hours to Tribunal for ap
proval and be granted permission
to participate.
“It would penalize him in one
way, yet help him in his studies,”
he added..
Details Not Worked Out
Exact details were not worked
out because of the fact that each
casa*;would have to be. handled
■differently, SCUtvenzfeier pointed
out.
The idea of restricted hours
was discussed by the committee
on regulations, controls, and their
enforcements at Student En
campment. Schwenzfeier was a
member of the committee.
Schwenzfeier added that the
punishment would be adminis
tered when "wise to use it.” “I
would like to try it ... to see
hpw it works out,” he added.
Restricted hours are now more
for punishment of undergraduate
women.
at the meeting was
Harold W. Perkins, assistant deem
of men, who explained the work
of his office in connection with
Tribunal.
Perkins told Tribunal mem
bers to make their own decisions
in cases and not to make recom
mendations just to please his of
fice.
Tribunal has not heard a case
so far this semester.

Peron Hides Aboard Paraguayan Boat

aboard a Paraguayan gunboat
in Buenos-Aires harbor.
The rebels whose revolt
shattered his 10-year dictatorship
demanded that the fallen dicta

however, and this increased Per

It seemed obvious that the mil-:

Row, Seat Assignments
Disregarded Under Setup
Editorial on Page'Four
A compromise football seating plan, which will replace
the reserved seat setup announced last week, will go into
effect beginning with the opening game Saturday, according
to Ernest B. McCoy, director of athletics.
McCoy announced the new plan yesterday.
Under the new setup, students must honor only the sec
tion printed on the special tickets
distributed at registration. The
row and seat number printed on
the tickets may be disregarded
Students must enter Beaver
Field stands through the gate
leading to their assigned section,
McCoy said.
The new plan is the result of
conferences between All-Univer
sity president Earl Seely; Doug
las Moorhead, president of the
Athletic Association; Harold R.
Gilbert, assistant director of ath
letics. and McCoy.
McCoy Defends Old Plan
McCoy said his office had “no
intention” of preventing students
from sitting together. He also
said the original reserved seat
plan would not have prevented
students from sitting with friends
in their class.
He explained that students
could have gone to Recreation
Hall at registration time to re
ceive seats together. “Difficulty
arose in not getting this informa
tion to all students in time before
registration,” he said.
McCoy added that hundreds of
students asked for, and were
given, seats together.
The reserve seat plan, which
was met by a roar of disapproval
from the student body when it
was announced last week, was
set up, according to McCoy, for
two reasons:
1. Because student leaders .last
year complained about section
hopping and asked for a guaran
tee of a seat being. available in
their section when they arrived
at the game.
2. In order that the Athletic
Association may determine the
actual number of unused seats, if
any, that might be available for
sale to the public and alumni.
Section* EG to NB
“After registration, we discov
ered that all seats from sections
EG to NB were taken up solidly
by student demand. Consequent
ly, there will be no tickets sold
to the public in these'sections,
and, contrary to other announce
ments, there have been no tickets
sold in these sections,” McCoy
said.
“This plan is essentially the
same as in past years, and any
section-hopping is a problem that
I believe firmly can be handled
by student government . . . and
the pride of the student in disci
plined conduct,” he commented.
“If there is section-hopping and
disorderly conduct (among the
students), we will 'have to revert
to the reserved seats,” McCoy
added.

At the corner of Florida street
they were dispersed by police
without clashes or casualties. But
this was the first pro-Peron de
monstration since., the rebellion
erupted Friday. There was still
speculation about what the pow
erful labor organization forces of
Peron might do in this situation.
Peron’s escape to the Paragua
yan gunboat, which in effect is
Paraguayan territory, was an
nounced by Juan R. Chavez, the
Paraguayan ambassador here. He
also reported Ildefonso Cavagna
Martinez, foreign minister in Per
on’s government, had taken re
fuge in the Paraguayan embassy.

Cooperation
At Games
The following statement, asking
for student cooperation at Penn
State football games, was issued
by Earl Seely, All-University
President, last night. The state
ment was released in conjunction
with the announcement of the
compromise seating plan to go in
to effect at Beaver Field this year.
“The seating policy has been
modified as explained in this is
sue of the Daily Collegian. I have
expressed to Dean Ernest B. Mc-
Coy and his staff that I am con
vinced that we, the members of
the student body, can and will
take it- upbh-ourselves to -elim*
inate section jumping which was
one of the primary reasons for
the proposed reserve seating plan.
"I ask you to eliminate the
situation caused by section
jumping, and to co-operate with
the Centennial year program of
the Athletic Association by
conducting yourselves as re
sponsible Penn State students
have proven themselves capable
of doing in the past. Let's keep
in mind that the misconduct of
a few casts an adverse reflec
tion on the entire student body.
“The Director of Athletics and
his staff have done all that they
possibly can in order that we
might attend the games, sit with
our friends, and still be able to
cope with the problems which
will be created by capacity
crowds at Beaver Field.
"They have co-operated with
us; now let's cooperate with
them and by doing so set an
example for the Freshman class
as well as the classes that will
follow. Let's dust off the old
Penn State spirit and show the
alumni that it still exists!"
