Joint Enforcement Day
Revives Customs Spirit
As Freshmen Suffer On
Freshmen/ felt the sting of joint customs day yesterday
as new interest was revived in the customs program. Men
doffed their dinks at the command of upperclasswomen, and
women “curtsied” at the request of upperclassmen.
- Groups of blue dinks continually assembled in front of
Schwab Auditorium, in the spirit of opening day of the Fresh
man Customs period. Upperclass
men led the singing and cheers,
listened to handbook recitations,
and asked questions pertaining to
the campus. Hat men and women,
acting as "friends of the fresh
men, looked on.
“Enforcement and fun dis
played yesterday was a boon to
the whole program,” Herbert
Black, Customs Board co-chair
man, said. "Yesterday, Monday,
the first day, and Tuesday proved
to be extremely successful, how
ever. Wednsday may have slowed
a bit.”
Dorms to Get
Ice Cream,
Milk Machines
Ice cream and milk machines
will' be installed in all women’s
dormitories and Nittany and Pol
lock stations according to Otto
E. Mueller, director of housing.
Machines have already been
placed in Thompson Hall in sub
stitution for the services of
Sally’s, local concession.
This action has resulted from
dissatisfaction on the part of both
students and administration with
the evening services offered by
Sally’s, he said.
It has been against the policy
of the University to allow pri
vate interests to solicit in dormi
tories, Mueller said. H? also said
the general opinion was that the
students were being overcharged.
Ice cream in bars and sand
wich form and chocolate or white
milk will sell for 10 cents each.
When the machines are avail
able, they will be installed in
Nittany 20, the Pollock Union
and every women’s
dormitory. West Dormitory stu
dents will continue to use the
snack bar facilities.
Carry out service in the Lion’s
Den, Hetzel Union Building, has
been made available from 10 to
11 p.m., Mueller said.

Borough Police
Give 'Red Tags'
State College borough police
have been pointing up the less
known types of traffic viola
tions to motorists by holding
two "Rod Tag Days" this week.
During these days, 64 tags
were placed oh vehicles or
given to offending drivers, ac
cording to Burgess David H
Mackey.
Tags explained that if vio
lators took them to the police
department office .no penalty
would be lev i e d.. Instead,
copies of borough traffic regu
lations ware handed out. :
" From now on. Mackey said,
regular traffic tickets will be
violators.
Easy Questions Asked
Most of the freshmen found the
questions asked of them fairly
easy, and all carried their hand
books.
One frosh was requested to
read every other word of the All-
University Cabinet constitution
in the back of the'handbook. Sev
eral upperclassmen measured let
tering on the namecards to see
if it exactly met the require
ments.
Many of the freshmen felt that
the upperclasmen were much
friendlier than when the regular
program was in effect. Most of the
day one or two girls were sur
rounded by large groups of up
perclassmen. Very seldom were
more frosh seen with a group of
men.
Customs Again Regular
Today, however, the regular
customs programs will go back
into effect. Freshman violators
will appear before the Freshman
Customs Board at 7 tonight in
212 Hetzel Union, Black and Mar
garet Boyd, board co-chairmen,
said.
Upperclassmen are urgent to
hand iff all' custorfis violations at
the Hetzel Union desk as soon as
possible.
Frosh Violations
Each report must contain the
violation, name of the violator,
and the name of the upperclass
man. Frosh will then be sum
moned before the Board to plead
their case. Penalties will be given
in connection with the new cen
tennial theme, “Penn State, What
Next?’’

Dr. George F. Johnson, pro
fessor of agricultural extension,

eon Club at noon Monday in the

fights between opponents and
supporters of revolt-deposed
President Juan D. Peron
flared throughout Buenos Air

centers were smashed. ’ •
Scores of scattered outbreaks
were reported as the nation’s new

Although armed troops, tanks

were unable to prevent sudden
flareups or violence in this city

asks for the floor to answer a question on the controversial foot
ball seating plah discussed at last night's All-University Cabinet
meeting. Shortly afterward, the meeting was recessed by All-
University President Earl Seely, who telephoned Ernest B. McCoy,
dean ot the College of Physical Education and Athletics. McCoy
said seniors with tickets in underclass sections may exchange
them.
Cabinet Alters Plan
For Campus Chest
All-University Cabinet last night rescinded a recommen
dation it passed last spring that the University Christian As
sociation Hillel Foundation, the Newman Club, and the Amer
ican Red Cross be removed from Campus Chest.
Cabinet acted on the requefet of Rev. Luther H. Harsh
barger, University chaplain, asking that an “unfavorable’*
report made to Cabinet last se
mester concerning the four
groups be revoked.
I In other action, Cabinet, ap
proved a recommendation ' that
the Cabinet Personnel Interview
ing Committee be composed of
the nine vice presidents of the
college councils rather than the
presidents. It also approved four
appointments to Cabinet commit
tees.
John Riggs, chairman of Cam
ms Chest, read a letter by Rev.
larshbarger which recalled a
Cabinet meeting last semester at
which the Campus Chest Com
mittee asked that the four organi
zations be removed.
It claimed that contributors
felt that they were giving to re
ligious organizations other than
a group of students smashed into
a branch headquarters of the wo
men’s Peronista party. They
wrecked the place. Pictures of the
Perons were ripped from the
walls.
The students smashed busts of
the fallen strong man and the for
mer first lady. They hurled the
furniture, propaganda leaflets
and wreckage into the street and
set fire to the pile.
Employes of the newspaper La
Prensa also stripped their office
walls of Peron pictures and busts
and made a street bonfire of the
debris.
La Prensa, once one of South
America’s most respected inde
gendent dailies, was confiscated
y the Peron government in 1951
and turned over to the General
Confederation of Labor.

Resignation System
This year. Riggs said, Campus
Chest would use the “designation
system,” in which students would
give money to any organizations
they wished, dividing it up be
tween the groups.
Rev. Harshbarger also request
ed that a policy making board
composed of representatives from
participating Chest organizations
be set up.
The constitution provides for
board of trustees of three repre
sentatives from each group parti

The National Congress was or

by Provisional President Eduardo

Sections
Of Some
Are 'Wrong'
By RON LEIK
Ernest B. McCoy, dean of
the College of Physical Edu
cation and Athletics, said last
night seniors who have foot
ball tickets for the wrong sec
tions at Beaver Field may ex
change them in Recreation Hall.
Discussion of the “compromise”
seating plan came up last night
at All-University Cabinet when
several members requested that
the problem be solved before the
first game Saturday. “Many” up
perclass students had received
tickets for what they believe the
sophomore and junior sections,
they contended. Senior sections
are EG. EH, EJ, and part of EK.
Under the plan announcd Sept.
14, students would have had to
sit in reserved seats designated
by tickets distributed at registra
tion. The arrangement met with
widespread disapproval, and a
compromise plan eliminating the
reserved seats but retaining the
same sections was devised.
Meeting Recessed
All-University President Earl
Seely recessed last night’s meet
ing and telephoned McCoy. To
exchange tickets, the student
must show proof he is a senior.
Seely said the reserved seat
plan was a step in a long-range
plan to have students and their
friends sit together in reserved
seats. They would obtain tickets
all at the same time at registra
tion, he said.
The discussion arose when
James Ginsburg, president of
business administration student
council, asked Seely to clarify the
events cocnerning the seating ar
rangements. Seely told of his
meetings with officials in the ath
letic department and read a letter
from McCoy on the compromise
plan.
Wanted Examples
Judith Pendleton, Leonides
president, asked why some sen
iors who registered late Thurs
day and Friday were given tick
ets in the lowerclass sections.- She
knew of several specific exam
ples, she said.
Seely and Douglas Moorhead,
president of the Athletic Associa
tion, said . athletic officials had
assured them that was impossible
because tickets to the respective
sections were distributed at ta
bles for the four classes at regis
tration.
Carolyn Cunningham, president
of Women Student Government
Association, suggested that the
problem was the result of confu
sion at registration, where Tie
cause of crowded conditions sen
iors might have got into the
wrong line and received under
class tickets.
A proposal to call McCoy to
the meeting to try to find a new
