PAGE TWO Vice President Assumes Duties, Not Post—Silva Dr. Ruth C. Silva, associate professor of political science, said in a speech last night that the “vice president of the United States succeeds to the power of the presidency, not the office.” Dr. Silva addressed the University chapter of the Inter collegiate Conference on Government. FMA Votes Dividend To Members Fraternity Marketing Associa tion has declared a dividend on the amount of business the group did during the last school year. At their meeting last night, FMA decided to divide remaining from the year’s expenses among mem ber fraternities. The profits will be divided among fraternities according to the amount of money each house invested in FMA. The exact amount to be declared as a divi dend will not be known until the company which does the auditing for FMA is paid. FMA annually returns all prof its to member fraternities to maintain its standing as a non profit organization. Does $120,000 Business Harold W. Perkins, assistant dean of men, announced FMA did $120,000 worth of business last year. The member fraternities as a group saved $5OOO, he said. Breaking this figure down, Per kins said each fraternity saved $127.50 for the year, and each fraternity man saved $3.50 dur ing the year, by dealing through FMA. Three diferent vendors will sell their products to FMA in the canned goods division, Perkins said, and five vendors are selling nrrats to the organization. Discounts for member fraterni ties in the canned goods division will run from 2-6% % this year. Meats will be discounted from 3-5%. Resignation of two FMA Board of Trustees members. Donald By erly and Irvin Boerlin, were ac cepted at the meeting. The offi cial withdrawal of Sigma Pi from the group was also approved. 27 Members Left The withdrawal of Sigma Pi leaves FMA with 27 contract members. However, of the 27, only 21 have been buying regu larly from FMA. Twenty-one have contracts in the canned goods division, and 18 are under contract to buy meat from the organization. Six Students Arrested Six students at the University were arrested for motor vehicle code violations in Centre County from Sept. 1-15. Arrests were made by State Police at Pleasant Gap. Those arrested were: Improper passing: James Mc- Dowell. No current operator’s li cense: David Tressler. No current inspection ticket: William White acre. Improper turning at an in tersection: Norman Williamson. Failure to stop at a stop sign: Robert Stefanko, James Jacoby. She said a misunderstanding of the Constitution has developed, allowing people to believe the vice president assumes the, office in stead of “acting” as president. Dr. Silva pointed out that the composers of the Constitution had planned the vice president to act only until a successor could be named. If it were not close to a presidential election, a special election was intended, she said. Dr. Silva said the vice president has the power under the Consti tution to term the president “in capable of performing his duties.” She went on to say that “political opinion would not tolerate” the vice president assuming the dut ies of the president while he is still living. President Dwight D. Eisenhow er’s condition yesterday was re ported as “satisfactory without complications” after suffering a period of fatigue Sunday night. Dr. Silva explained that it is not well known at present if President Eisenhower’s illness will be permanent. She said that no action, except “group partici pation (that of the Cabinet and the vice president),” would prob ably come out of the present situ ation until the President’s condi tion is termed permanent. Dr. Silva said the “odds are with the Democrats now . . . that President Eisenhower is removed” from a second term possibilitv. “If Mr. Eisenhower is out of the race, the Democrats are go ing to put up a stronger candidate than if he were still in the race,” she said. This, she indicated, gives Adlai E. Stevenson the edge for the Democratic nomination. She termed Vice President Richard M. Nixon the “contender number one” for the Republican nomination, but added: “The polls say he cannot win the election, and I’m not sure he can even win the nomination.” Dr. Silva also said that it is “pretty doubtful” whether Chief Justice Earl Warren will leave his post. In speaking of the possibility of Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, presi dent of the University, receiving the Republican nomination, she said all she knows is “what I read in the Saturday Evening Post.” Dr. Eisenhower has been men tioned by syndicated columnists as a possible candidate. One farm journal came out in support of Dr. Eisenhower last summer. On the lighter side, Dr. Silva said she read' a quip which she thought was “pretty good.” It went: “Harry S. Truman’s pres ence in the White House is proof that any American boy can grow up to be President of the United States.” Wilson Will Spook Dr. Harold K. Wilson, director of the Division of Intermediate Registration, will address the Clover Club at 7 tonight in 111 Plant Industries.

Louis Adler, president, will rec ommend the council’s decision to. All-University Cabinet. He will also suggest to Cabinet that what ever is decided regarding the half-holiday be published before hand so students will be able to make plans. Students Not Informed Last year students did not learn about the holiday until the Thursday before the game. Council voted ih favor of the half-holiday after Adler said that at the present time its possibility does not look favorable. Rudolf Lutter, seventh semes ter arts and letters major from Philadelphia, suggested the pos sibility of having final examina tions begin on the Monday fol lowing the end of classes. This would give students more time to study, he said. In the past classes ended Saturday at noon and examinations began at 1:20. Freshmen may nominate them selves for Liberal Arts Council from Oct. 17 until Oct. 22 in 132 Sparks. Three sophomores are needed to serve on Council. Judith Harki son, third semester ’journalism major from New Cumberland; Linda Ely, third semester journ alism major from Pittsburgh; Cynthia Geber, third semester arts and letters major from Hag erstown, and Janet Evans, third semester arts and letters major, were nominated by council last week. Nominations will remain open for two weeks. Two members of the council, Barbara Budnick, third semester journalism major from Schenec tady, and Robert Nurock, third semester animal husbandry major from Elkins Park, have been named to the academic honesty committee. WDFM Quiet Due To Broken Wire A broken wire inside the FM transmitter located in the base ment of Sparks building was the cause of student radio station WDFM going off the air for two hours Friday night. James Raleigh, chief engineer, said that the transmitter automat ically turns itself off when some thing fails inside. The breakage was probably due to aging, heat, and vibration - ih the high voltage -circuit. The break could not have been found in a routine 'check, he said. The station has had no other broadcasting trouble this week.

Pitt and State Chief Suspects In Theft of Navy's Billy XIV When Navy triumphed over South Carolina on Saturday, 26-0, there were shouts of joy at Annapolis, Md. But the shouts soon faded, the Middies became mad, and the joy changed to grief. The alarm had sounded. Billy XIV, Navy’s goat mascot, had been stolen sometime late Sunday. The State Police were notified. And the search is now on. The Navy football team runs up against Pittsburgh on Satur day at Baltimore and meets the Lions the following weekend. For some reason, authorities feel that the mascot may be in the possession of either Pitt or Penn State students! Late yesterday afternoon a call reached campus from Pittsburgh. ..“Do you have the goat there?” the voice from the Smokey City asked. The search is still on. The $64,000 question today is: “Who got the Navy’s goat?” Billy Turns Out Nanny; Marines Get DTD Goat PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3 (JP) Windows at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house of the University of Pittsburgh were opened wide tonight—after the brothers admit-: ted the goat they’d kept overnight wasn’t Billy XIV, the famous Na vy mascot.

By an odd coincidence, the Pitt and Navy football teams meet next Saturday. Soon after the goat-napping was reported, the Delta Tau Del ta boys got a goat from a nearby farm. A detachment of Marines from the recruiting service here visited the fraternity house, found • the goat was a nanny and not Billy. The brothers, weary of their joke, took their goat bade to the farm.
