Amendment
Given Ist
Approval
All-University Cabinet Thurs
day night took the first step to
amend its constitution to require
alternates for representatives to
be next in line in the organiza
tion’s hierarchy.
Cabinet passed the motion for
the amendment for the first time
Thursday. To enact the proposal
into law, it must be read and ap
proved at three consecutive meet
ings. It may be voted into law at
the third meeting by a two-thirds
vote.
Speaking in favor of his mo
tion, All-University Secretary-
Treasurer Philip Beard said the
present constitution provides the
right for any member of- Cabinet
to “challenge” an alternate. How
ever, the alternate can be chal
lenged and nothing else, he said.
'Teeth' iii Constitution
The amendment, which would
replace this article in the consti
tution, is designed to “put some
teeth” in the constitution, he said.
Members would still have the
right to challenge but'would
have some grounds to oppose an
alternate. The proposed amend
ment. states:
“In the absence of a member of
All-University Cabinet, the con
stitution of the absent member’s
organization shall be the deter
mining factor in permitting this
seat to be filled.
Vice President Seated
“There being no such provision
in said constitutior.. the vice pres
ident of the organization shall be
seated, and thereafter, seating
shall be granted to the other offi
cers of the organization accord
ing to the hierarchy set forth in
their constitution.”
Last week, All-University Pres
ident Earl Sqply instructed Cab
inet' members to submit a note
when they are absent, stating the
reason for absence and the office
held by the alternate.

The University’s budget re
quest, which was approved by
the House of Representatives
Sept, 16, faces possible reduction.
It is .approximately $5 million
more than the appropriation for
the last two years.
Since House approval the bud

The budget was defended by
President Milton S. Eisenhower
on Aug. 16 i.t a personal appear
ance before a Senate committee
hearing on appropriations.
He stated that none of the
items listed in the budget could
be eliminated. “I’ve been build
ing budgets for 30 years and I’ve
never put any fat in them yet.
I do not think it can possibly be
reduced,” he said.
The request, submitted by
Reps. J. Dean Polen (D-Wash.)
and Norman Wood (R-Lanc.) was
for the exact amount Gov. George
M. Leader requested in his bud
get message to the legislature
last April.
Specifically, it provides for:
1. .Maintenance and instruction
—524,783,000.
2. Ag r i culture experiments—
slso,ooo.
3. Petroleum research and ex
periments—s66,ooo.

that sum to be matched by the
anthracite and bituminous indus

3. Long range mineral indus
tries—s32,soo.
7. Matching funds for mineral
industries research—ss7,soo.

Fifteen years hence, University
alumni throughout the world will
number at least 100,000.
Ridge Riley, executive secre
tary of the Alumni Association,
says the new figure is based on
an expected increase in student
enrollment from the current 12,-
000 to an estimated 20,000 in 1970.'
Living alumni now number 55,-
000, a product of the University’s

Pres ident Eisenhower pre
pared today to start a long,
slow march back toward ac

looked forward to plans for pos

without complications, there were
these developments:

VOL. 56. No. 13 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 1. 1955 FIVE CENTS
Sophomore Found
Dead in Hotel
By DAVE BRONSTEIN
John J. Wilson, 21, sophomore in chemistry from Sharon, was found dead late Thurs
day night in a Harrisburg hotel, less than 48 hours after he was reported missing from his
State College residence.
Thomas J. Fritchey, Dauphin County coroner, told the Daily Collegian yesterday
afternoon by telephone that no official decision on the cause of death has been arrived at.
Bums Trim Yanks,
8-3, for Ist Victory
• BROOKLYN, Sept. 30 (/P) —Sturdy Johnrly Podres celebrated his
23rd birthday today by mixing his lefthanded fast ball with a teasing
change of pace to give Brooklyn its first victory over the New York
Yankees 8-3 in the third game of the World Series at Ebbets Field.
Roy Campanella, given up for dead with the other Dodgers after
going hitless in two losing games at Yankee Stadium, awoke from
his slump with a two-run homer,
double and single to drive in
three runs. This devastating show
made the 34,209 almost forget his
costly error that let the Yanks tie
the score in the second inning.
Manager Walter Alston, criti
cized for going too far with Billy
Loes in yesterday’s game, stuck
with the youngster from Wither
bee, N.Y. through thick and thin.
Three times he strode to the
mound to talk things over with
Podres and Campy only to let
the pitcher continue. Each, time
his faith was justified.
In the sixth it appeared that
Podres, trying to go the route for
the first time since June 14, was
on the ropes. Gil McDougald and
Yogi Berra had lined singles to
center with nobody out, the first
New York hits since they scored
their two runs in the second inn
ing.
The batter was Mickey Mantle,
trying to play despite a torn leg
muscle that forced him to hobble
around center field and shift to
right in the second. Trusting Pod
res to keep the ball low to Man
tle. Alston let Podres face the
Yankee hitter. Mantle worked
the count to 1-1 and then lashed
a rally-killing double-play ball
to shortstop Pee Wee Reese. Un
able to run with his usual jack
rabbi'; speed, Mickey wa§ easily
doubled at first, Reese to Junior
Gilliam to Gil Hodges.
Although Podres teetered a bit
in the seventh when a walk to
Phil Rizzuto and Andy Carey’s
pinch-triple to the leftfield corner
produced a third Yank run, he
steadied to strike out hitless Bob
Cerv for the third straight time.
After Hodges grabbed Phil Riz
zuto’s pop for the final out, he
rushed to greet the grinning Pod
res, knocking his cap off in his
enthusiasm.
For tomorrow’s fourth game at
Ebbetts Field, Alston has named

stricken with a heart attack last
Saturday.
2. The hospital announced that
Dr. Paul Dudley White, the emi
nent heart specialist who exam
ined Eisenhower shortly after he
suffered the attack, has agreed to
return to Denver from Boston
about the end of next week.
The purpose of the return visit,
said White House Press Secre
tary James C. Hagerty, is to con
sult with other physicians on the
case with respect to the Presi
dent’s condition at the time, and
make plans for the rest of the
period he will remain in the hos
pital.
White already has. estimated
that Eisenhower will be hospi
talized. about a month.
The conference here next week
will deal, Hagerty said, with such
questions as whether the chief
executive should be permitted to
have visitors, hold meetings with
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Apple Orchards
Declared Taboo
For Students
Students have been warned not
to take apples from the University
orchards, near the new cattle
barns.
Dr. David G. White, associate
professor of pomology, said that
apples on trees in a special re
search plot in the orchards are
coated with a chemical known to
produce cancer in white mice
As yet there has been no indi
cation that the chemical—a hor
mone used to improve the color
ing of the apples—will cause
cancer in humans, White said.
But he added that the experi
menters will not risk eating
apples coated with the chemical.
White said that several bushels
of apples have been reported
missing from the area adjoining
the special research plot during
the past several weeks.
He warned that students who
pick the apples in hope of getting
a free meal might accidentally get
some of the coated apples.
Apples can be bought at the
fruit parking shed on farm eight.
The shed is open daily from 8
a.m. until noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30
p.m.
AAUP to Meet
Dr. William B. Edgerton, as
sistant professor of Russian, will
address the first meeting..of the

sity Professors at 7:30 p.m., Oct.
12 in 121 Sparks.
Dr. Edgerton will report on a
recent study trip he made to
Russia.
government officials, and study
federal documents.
3. Dr. White told a national tel
evision audience this morning
that if he were Eisenhower he
“would not want to run” for re
election.
This afternoon Hagerty was
told at a ne .vs conference that
White later, in explaining his re
mark, declared he has “no objec
tion” to the President running
again if he has a good recovery.
A reporter wanted to know
whether the White House had
been in touch with White in ad
vance of the second statement of
the doctor, one of the world’s
foremost heart specialists.
Hagerty replied there had been
no such contact—“none at all.”
The secretary said the only con
tact with White was with respect
to his return visit to Denver next
week, and that the conversation
was “entirely medical.”
(Kollegtatt
An autopsy was performed
yesterday, the coroner said,' apd
cause of death will be made
known within four days.
Wilson was found in the bath
room of his room at the Penn
Harris Hotel, fully clothed, with
an empty bottle labeled, “hydro
chloric acid” at his side, Fritchey
said.
A former student at Gannon
College, Erie, Wilson had trans
ferred to the University during
Orientation Week arid was board
ing at 630 Franklin street. His
landlady reported that he went
“off to school with his school
books” Wednesday morning.
When he failed to return to
his first floor room that night,
the owners became worried and
notified the borough police.
Registers at Hotel
Wilson registered at the Penn
Harris Hotel at 3:30 p.m. Wed
nesday, according to the hotel
manager. It is not certain how
Wilson got to Harrisburg after
he reportedly attended a morn
ing class. His landlady said that
he did not own a car.
The hotel manager became con
cerned when he failed to see Wil
son around the hotel after he
checked in. He attempted to enter
Wilson’s room but found it locked.
He called and no one answered.
Door Forced Open
The manager ordered the door
forced. Wilson was not in the
room. The hinges were then
smashed from the bathroom door
and Wilson was found slumped
on the edge of the bathtub.
In addition to the empty bot
tle with the hydro-chloric acid
labr" found next to Wilson, a
dark, blackish, clear liquid had
been splashed in the bathroom
basin, Fritchey reported.
“We found the room clean and
neat,” Fritchey said. “Wilson’s
suitcase was still packed.”
Graduates in 1552
Wilson was graduated from
Sharon High School in 1952. He
spent two years in the service be
fore entering Gannon College as
a freshman. He is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Wilson, 449 N.
Oakland avenue, Sharon.
Wilson was called a “very stu
dious boy” by the townfolk with
whom he resided. '
He did not eat at his residence
but occasionally liked to watch
television at the house.
“He seemed thrilled to be at
the University,” his landlady said.
