STAFF THIS ISSUE: Night Editor, Sue Conklin; Copy Editors, Mike Moyle, Larry Jacobson; As sistants, Vince Carocci, Becky Zahm, Pat Hunter, Seating Set: It’s Up to You Now Thank you Earl Seely, Douglas Moorhead, and the Student Government Association. Thank you for working lo eliminate what might have been a very dissatisfactory con dition at Beaver Field for home football games. Your actions are proof of the role student government can play in settling problems con cerning the student body with members of the administration. The director of athletics and his staff have been under much criticism for initiating a re served seating plan at Beaver Field. These men cannot be accused of trying to limit the students’ enjoyment of football games, but should be recognized for trying to eliminate an annual problem which has been caused by students during home football games. These men should further be recognized for being open-minded enough to consider the sug gestions of student leaders and talk with them about the possibility of an alternate plan. These men also have put enough faith in the leader ship of student government and the ability of students to conduct themselves as they should, to accept the student plan, and discard the reserved seating arrangement. The ultimate success of the actions of stu dent government now depends on each indi vidual student. By adhering to the section in which they are to sit and remaining there, students can cement the position student gov- Hide, Run, Resist! Freshmen, beware! Also upperclassmen. For today, all day, and on into the night you will be accosted, berated, and generally hound ed by a minority group on campus. This is their day. Their only day in the month, thank Heaven. But they .make the most of it. They will mob you when you pass the bulletin board on the mall. Surround you on your way to the Corner Room for coffee. Block the entrances to the HUB. Sneak up on you in out-of-the-way spots. But have courage. Fight them off. Leave your money at home. You are the member of the great majority. They are disliked. They are frowned On, They are out of it. They are selling Froth. —The Editor Gazette...

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The political picture in Ar gentina following the downfall of Dictator Juan Peron is de veloping very slowly. Albert Gainza Paz, publisher of the famous newspaper La Prenza which Peron took over says he believes the military junta will eventually dissolve into a return to democratic government, but' admits strong cross currents are at work for the moment. Perhaps the biggest ques tion today is whether the Per onist labor unions will attempt, and the insurgent forces be able to prevent, a general strike. Chaotic-conditions could result, but in . the first hours after verification of Peron's ab dication there were no indica tions of a workers' mobilisa tion. One of the great imponder ables in Argentina now is the Froth Candidates A meeting will be held for candidates for the Froth adver tising staff at 7 tonight in the Froth office, in the basement of the Hetzel Union Building. iath| CnU^gtatt Saecssaar N THE FREE LANCE, Mt MM JACK ALBRECHT.

' ' THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA ernment has now gained, and reassure Univer sity Officials that students are responsible and can conduct themselves accordingly. The problem of section-jumping which the director of athletics is trying to eliminate is not recent, and it has not gone unnoticed in the past. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors previously have disregarded the class seating plan and have moved to seats nearer the mid dle of the field. This made the number of seats in senior and reserved sections inadequate to hold the number of spectators entitled to sit there. Complaints by seniors, student leaders, and alumni have been made previously. Several years ago the director of athletics requested that student government propose a plan to eliminate section-jumping, but received noth ing. The officials then decided to devise a method whereby each student would be as signed a seat, and it would be his responsi bility to fill that seat himself. It was evident by the amount of student op position that this plan was unsatisfactory. Stu dent government has finally acted as it should have several years ago, and a compromise plan will go into effect Saturday. The reserved seating plan could still go into effect if the student body does not cooperate. It is up to the entire student body to see that it doesn’t. Safety Valve... Poor Planning? (Letters to the editor are welcome. Letters must be signed. No pen names permitted.) TO THE EDITOR: The Collegian reported the other day that the Leadership Training course was to meet on Wednesday of next week, and every other following Wednesday. I believe that this is a.bit of poor planning as Wednesday meetings will eliminate poten tial trainees for men's debate. -Lest you think that it is of little importance whether or not this activity is overlooked, let us examine some of the campus leaders in the past years who were varsity debaters. Some of these were: Benjamin Sinclair (All- University Cabinet representative, . Omicron. Delta Kappa, head of Lion Party), Ernest Famous (Elections Committee chairman), Sid ney Goldbiatt (Tribunal, Omicron Delta Kap pa), Mark Wiener (Traffic Court), Richard Kirshner (president, Liberal Arts Student Council), ■ Herman Golomb (editor of LaVie), and so many others as you go back down the list. Now there aire new men coming up the lad der and many of them are being trained in the skills of debate. So let’s give them the opportunity for leadership training also. —Jon Plant, Men's Debate Team Manager Glee Club Accompanist Male students interested in being an accompanist for the Glee Club should contact Frank Gullo, associate professor of mu sic, In'2l* ’ - .

'because it's way out of line' an don't give, me that 'bad eye' routine again this year." Centennial Lore Dancing on Campus Once Was Forbidden Co-eds and their dates today enjoy a privilege many former University students had:to forego. In its early years, the University frowned on dancing and for bade it in any of its buildings. When in 1888 the Armory was com pleted, making available a spacious dance floor, the students de cided to try and change this at titude. A petition addressed to the Board of'Trustees by the Cadet Corps pleaded: - “We, the undersigned Corps of Cadets, Pennsylvania State Col lege, in order to promote social intercourse among ourselves and friends and interest in our gene ral welfare, do respectfully ask permission to hold a reception (with privilege of dancing) once a month in the new Armory dur ing the coming college year.” Second Bequest The Cadets did not stahd alone. A second more modest, petition, this one from the senior class, was also sent to the trustees: “We, the members of the sen ior class, in order to advance the social condition of our college which, owing to the situation of the college, is at present rather poorly provided for, petition your honorable body to permit, the holding of receptions, where dancing in addition to the other means of enjoyment shall be in dulged in, the same to-be held in the Armory by the direction of the senior class and under the control and supervision of the president and faculty, on suit able occasions at least four times a year.” The Board, with President George Atherton concurring, stood firm, however. Still Trying Undaunted, the next year an all-college committee of nearly 100 students devised an even more eloquent petition.. In it they listed four reasons why they felt the ban should bfe lifted: ' “1. The social life' at. Pennsyl vania State College is practically dead. We are dependent upon 1 ourselves for all our amusements and entertainments, and it is necessary that the use of the col lege buildings be allowed us. . “2. . The great number of the present body of students has been accustomed to dancing at:- home, .and the stagnation of our social life is consequently in jurious, as fhe students must find the same kind of pleasures as they have hitherto enjoyed. “3. Dancing, in addition to military drill, would be of great advantage to all in that it gives grace to form and ease to man ner, as is shown by the require ments of all institutions with military instruction. ”4. The moderately regulated indulgence of . this pfegaure e«n WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21. 1955 be of no injury .either to the col lege or students. It will rather be beneficial.in that it will recon cile the students more to the college by producing home-like attractions. Despite the force of these co gent arguments, President Ather ton marked a crisp “Not granted” on the back of the petition. The following year, 1890, the ban was at last lifted and hence forth the Armory echoed to the sounds of both' marching and dancing feet. Scholarship Fund Open To Chemistry Graduates A scholarship lund for grad uate students in . chemistry or chemical engineering has been established at the University by Marlin G. Gieger, Baltimore, Md. A 1921 graduate in industrial chemistry, Geiger is president of the Davison Chemical Co. The fund was established with a grant of common stock valued at approximately $5OOO. Addi tional amounts will be added later. The award will be made by the scholarship committee of the College of Chemistry and Physics with- the approval of the donor.
