Byrne Used 'Psychy'
And Lie in Winning
NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (ff) —Old Tommy Byrne, who two years
ago thought his baseball days might be ended, said today he used
a little bit of “psychy” and a little bit of lying to lull Brooklyn’s
big bats into impotency for the Yankees’ 4-2 second game victory
in the World Series.
"I told Duke Snider in the eighth inning I was going to throw
him- a fast ball,” Bryne said, “but
I gave him a slider instead.”
The strikeout of Snider was
one of three big strikeouts for
the Yankee veteran which ended
Brooklyn threats. He whiffed Pee
Wee Reese with a man on base
in the fifth, fooled Snider in the
eighth- and then made' Gil Hodges
bite at a slider in the ninth to
end the game.
Strikeouts Were Sliders

$lOO Allotted by Cabinet
For Use Hi Fall Elections
All-University Cabinet last night permitted the Elections
Committee to use $lOO for the freshman and sophomore class
elections Nov. 9 and 10.
Rqger Beidler, committee chairman, askei for the money
to finam.ce expenses of operating the election and to initiate a
program of impartial advertising of the elections, <
Twenty-five dollars will be
used for printing clique member
ship cards for the two >campus
parties. The cards will be distrib
uted to party members.
The committee is taking this
step in its supervision of the elec
tions to prevent students from
voting in both parties, ' Beidler
said.
This is a change in voting pro
cedure from last year, when mem
bership cards were not used and
many mix-ups occurred, he said.-
Cabinet also approvd the.com
mittee’s use of $75 for each suc
ceeding election.
The money will be used in part
to print and distribute non-parti
san signs at election time.. The
signs would be labeled with the
one word “Vote.” It will be an
attempt to get a larger portion
of the student body to vote.
“All three strikeouts were, with
sliders,” said Byrne. “I threw a
few slow curves and tossed in a
fast ball here and there. It is all
part of the new pitching outlook
which saved my career.”
Byrne, 35, an astute science,
major at Wake Forest College,
was kicked around the majors
and shunted to the minors two
years ago.
“It was then I took inventory
of, myself,” the hollow-cheeked
southerner said. “I had always
been a power pitcher. I knew‘l’d
have to change my way if I was
going to stay alive, in this game.
Mixed Pitcher
“50..1 decided to take a brand
/lew/concept of pitching..! con
centrated on control and a mix
ture of' pitches rather than the
fast ball.

Culture
State Agents Set
Checks on Bars
In State College
Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board agents arrived in State Col
lege yesterday presumably to
conduct routine checks of local
licenses and possibly fraternity
houses.
Edward O. Pollock, assistant to
the dean of mem in charge of fra
ternity affairs, said last night that
he knew of no plans to check
fraternities.
Pollock said he does not expect
control board agents to visit fra
ternities this weekend.
An editorial in the Philadelphia
Inquirer published on Wednesday
said:
“The Liquor Control Board in
the past had left the policing of
fraternity houses and other or
ganizations largely to the school
authorities and local police. But
now it intends to do some spotting
on its own.”
The editorial is reprinted in
full on page four.
Joint Customs
Fails to Revive
Fallen Spirit
Picture on page five
The third Joint Customs Day
yesterday got off to a slow start
as freshmen hurried to classes and
upperclassmen ignored enforce
ment. The customs spirit was not
revived as is usyal on joint en
forcement days.
“Last week customs was a lot of
fun,” a frosh said, “but now it is
just dragging on.”
The two week period last year
was 'the same. However, customs
did begin last week with fun and
spirit, and was climaxed with a
successful joint enforcement day
Thursday. Last year the program
got. off to a slow start, and then
picked up as the days went by.'
“Only a few frosh were asked
to ‘curtsy* or ‘Button’ yesterday,”
Margaret Boyd, Joint Customs
Board co-chairman said,, “and
very few groups sang or cheered.
There definitely, has been a de
cline in enforcement.”.
Societies Enforced Customs-
. Two years ago the men’s and
women’s hat societies enforced all
regulations. The societies conduct
ed mass raids in the dorm areas,
and at one time over 50 men
were charged with violations:
All upperclassmen enforced
customs last year, with emphasis
on the sophomore class. Hatmen

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Report Passed
Cabinet Sends
To Committee
After more than an hour of discussion, All-University
Cabinet last night passed a report from the Student Encamp
ment Cultural Aspects Committee, concerning a proposed
cultural program at the University.
At the request of Louis Fryman, chairman of the Board
of Dramatics and Forensics, a majority of the report was re
ferred to the board for further
study and recommendation of
points to Cabinet.
Three parts of the report were
referred to Cabinet committees.
Referred to the Centennial
Committee were suggestions that
events during Homecoming Week
end and the Convocation follow
a Centennial theme. Comments
on what should be done to im
prove Spring Week were referred
to the Spring Week Committee.
Outside Lectures Suggested
The third suggestion concerned
a controversial point that colleges
sponsor programs in fields outside
their curriculum. Because of the
confusion in defining the objects
of such a plan, Cabinet decided
to refer the point to the Inter-
College Council Board.
Cabinet approved a motion by
Robert Bullock, Interfraternity
Council president, that a sugges
tion by President Milton S. Eisen
hower concerning broadening ed
ucation be referred to a specially
appointed committee.
*Want Broadening Education'
The suggestion, made at En
campment, stated that education
today was highly specialized.
President Eisenhower and mem
bers of the Cultural Aspects Com
mittee wondered if some form
of general broadening education
could be put into effect for Uni
versity students.
Except for these points, the
rest of the report was referred
to the Board of Dramatics and
Fornsics. The report was the first
of several Encampment reports to
be submitted to Cabinet.
A second report on Academic
Honesty which was to be read by
Patricia Farrell, chairman of the
Academic Honesty Committee,
was delayed for a week because
of lack of time to discuss it.
New Forums Discussed
Auto Ban
Considered
By Cabinet
All-University Cabinet will ask
the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs to consider allowing fresh
man students with valid parking
reasons to keep their cars at the
University.
On a ■ motion of Carolyn Cun
ningham, president of the Wom
en’s Student Government Associ
ation, Cabinet last night consid
ered the “plight” of freshmen who
“ought to be permitted use of
their cars while at the Univer
sity.”
For the first time, freshman
cars were banned this semester at
the University and in the bor
ough. The regulation makes ex
ceptions for physically handicap
ped students and others with valid
reasons.
The discussion arose last night
after a motion by Samuel Wol
cott, sophomore class president,
who asked Cabinet to recommend
that freshmen over 21 and vet
erans be permitted use of their
cars.
Wolcott termed the ban on
these students “childish.” He said
he • knew of one veteran who is
the only living member of his
family, who has no home other
than the dormitory in which he
is living, but still has to keep his
car in Boalsburg. It is the only
place he has to keep his car, Wol
cott said.
Queried by other Cabinet mem
bers, Wolcott said the student did
apply for parking permission but
was denied it. .
Wolcott’s motion was defeated
because the other members felt
they should not. include several
specific cases in a blanket recom
mendation.
Ike Scheduled to Sign
Two Papers This Week
DENVER, Sept. 29 (/P) —President Eisenhower’s recovery
progressed today to an extent where doctors decided to let
him put his initials to a couple of government documents
later in the week, possibly tomorrow. It will be the first
business transacted by the chief executive since he was
At the same time, it was announced that Sherman Adams,
Eisenhower’s top aide, will fly
here from Washington tomorrow
to take over operations at the
Denver White House.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said in reply to
questions that the two develop
ments mean it is likely—barring
complications in E i s e n hower’s
condition—that any need for pos
sible delegation of presidential
powers to other federal officials
has about disappeared from the
picture.
More Good News
The decision to let Eisenhower
take the first very small step
back toward the direction of the
government, and to have Adams
shift from Washington to Denver,
came on the heels of another en
