The program was proposed and discussed last year. Under the new program, a coed who is found by her hostess to have been drinking will receive counseling from her hostess and from a member of WSGA Senate or Judicial. This procedure will be used when the only evidence that a coed has been drinking is the odor of alcohol. The report of a case where the new program is used will not go to Judicial and therefore will not -be official. r Patricia Douthett, Judicial chairman and an ex-officio mem ber of Senate, emphasized that the new program in no way con dones the use of alcoholic bever ages. The section 6 Rule 1 of the WSGA regulations states: Drink ing by women stuc.ents is forbid den by the .University and WSGA which reserves the right to refer cases to the Judicial committee and the University administra tion.

Eisenhower will not run for a second term, Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower has'been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate. At least four top Republicans have cited Dr. Eisenfiower as a possible candidate, along with several others including Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Presidential Assistant Harold Stassen, and Chief Justice Earl Warren, according to the latest issue or Time Magazine.

(Continued on page eight) STATE COLLEGE. PA*. THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 6. 1955 Frosh Interviews On Car Ban Set The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors voted last night to estab lish a screening committee to interview freshman males who have “deservant needs” to have automobiles at the University. ( The motion states that “special consideration” would be given to freshman veterans and freshmen 21 years of age and over. The Board, of Governors also suggested that Traffic Court “tighten up” and revoke more parking permits for student violators. The suggestion further states that these re voked parking spaces would be made available to studen mittee and that a priority list for the revoked spaces would Meetings Of Parties Changed The dates of three clique meet ings of Campus and Lion parties for nominations of clique and class officers, have been set back a week by the Elections Commit tee. . The meetings will be held at 7 p.m., the Sundays of Oct. 9, 16, and 23 instead of Oct. 16, 23, and 30. Campus party will meet in 10 Sparks and Lion party will meet in 121 Sparks. The meetings were set back a week because of the nearness of the final originally-scheduled meeting—Oct. 30—to the two election days of freshman and sophomore class officers on Nov. 9 and 10'. Under Old Plan Under the' original plan', the parties would not have had the time to carry out campaigns and fully publicize the elections, Elec tions Committee decided. Another, reason for setting back the nomintaions, according to the committee, was filS*. the final nominations meeting would have fallen on a Sunday night when many students would be return ing from the Penn State-Pennsyl vania football game in Philadel phia. Voting at Final Meeting Since voting on class candidates will be held at the final meeting, it was thought that too many clique members would not be able to attend the meetings. Nominations for clique offices will be accepted at the first meet ings. At the second meeting, clique office nominations will be closed and voted upon. Also fresh man and sophomore class offices will be opened for nomination. At the final meeting, clique members will -"ote on candidates for class officers after nomina tions are closed. Students must attend one of the first two clique meetings be fore being allowed to vote for class officers at the third. CPIC to Interview Candidates Tuesday Cabinet Personnel Interviewing Committe will meet at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday in the Hetzel Union Building to select six candidates for the Centennial Committee. The candidates will be judged by a 10-point grading system. No fraternity or sorority pins may be worn. Applications for the-interviews may be secured at the Hetzel Union desk. Applications must be returned by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Cards will be sent to applicants notifying them of the exact place for the interviews. Senate to Meet Today The University Senate will meet at 4tlo p.m. today in 121 Sparks. Senate will hear re ports from the Committee on Courses of Study and the Com mittee on Committees. ?oUttt AIM also asked the projects committee, which was studying the problem and made its report last night, to continue its inves tigation. The motion for the screening committee, in essence, is similar to a suggestion made by All- University Cabinet last Thurs day. Cabinet voted to ask Uni versity authorities to consider allowing freshman students with valid parking reasons to keep their cars on campus. The screening committee would make a recommendation to Dean of Men Frank J. Simes. If the recommendation is approved by Simes, he would in turn take the recommendation to the Council of Administration, the body which passed the freshman car ban last spring, according to AIM officials. • Over a dozen freshman veterans attended the meeting to . give their side of the problem. One veteran pointed out that “a 19- year-old sophomore has his car here, but tuvetertmi who is over 21 years of-age, has to keep it at home.” “I have to keep my car at home,, pay my insurance, and watch it depreciate,” a veteran said. The project committee report stated that there are 4999 cars registered at the University to 3000 parking spaces. Freshman veteran enrollment was esti mated at 70Q. An AIM governor pointed out that “not all of the 700 veterans have automobiles.” He estimated veterans with cars at 500. This year marked the first time in the history of the University that "reshmen were not allowed to bring cars to campus or the borough. President Milton S. Eisenhower said at Student Encampment last month that the car ban was in stituted as a partial solution to the lack of parking facilities available at the University and (Continued on page eight) President's Condition Reported 'Excellent' DENVER, Oct. 5 (/P)—President Dwight D.

The doctors said the chief executive, still in the 14-day tack, awakened refreshed and danger period of his heart at' cheerful after 9% hours of almost solid sleep. He didn’t need a sedative to help him get to sleep last night, although a small dose of seconal was administered when he awak ened for a couple of minutes around 2 a.m. Ike Happy Over Gifts But probably the best tonic he has had yet was going through that box from the three grand children. The youngsters, children of Mej. and Mrs. John Eisenhower of Ft. Belvoir, Va., personally picked out the gifts. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told reporters the President, and Mrs. Eisen hower got . a “great kick” and a dot of laughs out of opening an Jteffgion See Page 4 ;s passing the screening com ae set up. Tug-of-War Assigned to 7 Freshmen Participation in “The Big Pull,” inter-class tug-of-war, was the penalty assigned to seven male freshman violators last night, Margaret Boyd and Herbert Black, co-chairmen of the Joint Freshman Customs Board, said.

The chil dren even had wrapped the gifts themselves, bubblegum and all. Headed for Recovery The joyous interlude with the presents backed up word from the heart specialists attending the chief executive that he is continuing to make the expected headway toward recovery. And it pretty much over shadowed everything else today, including another session of rou tine business in advance of the departure of the President’s top assistant, Sherman Adams, for Washington. Adams was flying back to the capital to attend a meeting of the (Continued on page eight ) FIVE CENTS
