Parties Call For Change In Saarland SAARBRUECKEN, Saai, Oct. 24 (. I P)—Victorious German parties in the Saar tonight called on the Western 'European Union to su pervise a new governmental elec tion in this little border• territory to replace Premier Johannes Hoff mann. West German Vice Chancellor Franz Bluecher—describing the Saarlanders' plebiscite of a i n s t Europeanization as "a victory of reason"—led the Bonn Cabinet in proposing new French-German negotiations op the fate of the long-disputed border coal basin.

Suspicion Is Mausifsst Iri other capitals of Europe, tied to - both France and West Germany by the NATO alliance, anxiety and suspicion were mani fest over the Saar's home-to-the fatherland trend.

A BETTER PENN STATE A Losing Cause WILL HE - MAKE IT? That's what the Penn State bench seems to be saying on play late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game.

This Saturday the Lions face Penn in a traditional game in Philadelphia. W. Va. Manpower Whips Lions, 21-7 A year-long problem for Lion football coach Rip Engle—size and depth—proved its prominence Saturday when Penn State fell to West Virginia before a record-breaking overflow crowd of 34,400 at Morgantown, W. Va., 21-7. For nearly three quarters, Penn .State held against the two platoon football of West Virginia that had. moved the Mountaineers to the number eight slot in col lege football ratings. In the final 21 minutes the effect of Coach Art Lewis' merry-go-rtiund sub stitution techniques was felt as he replaced a solid first string with equally powerful—and well rested—gridders. During , those final 21 minutes West Virginia rolled up 21 points, 14 in the final stanza, as' Penn State was unable to contain the Mountaineers' clever offensive at tack. Until the third quarter, when West Virginia cracked through on a 93-yard TD drive in eight plays, Engle's defense—he used prac tically his entire bench—was the best the Lions' . have shown all year. West Virginia out-manned the Lions, and in the third quarter the effect was evident as it took command; even while West Vir ginia was scoring three times, however, the Lions defense showed spots of greatness—par ticularly the timely punting ef forts of scrappy Jim Hochberg, who punted twice with his back to the wall at the end of his own end. zone. He got the Lions out of .two deep holes with his high booming kicks.

Under the new system, all men students will fill out a card listing activities, All-University average, and hat society preference. The cards will be available at the Hetzel Union desk. At the time of tapping, societies will select the new members from the cards, and then will send let ters to the men inviting them to become members. Cards will be available as soon as they are printed, • and should be filed by every marl who thinks he has the activities and potential ity for a society. The system will go into effect next semester. Reidenbaugh Presents Plan Donald Reidenbaugh, represent ing Skull and Bones, senior so ciety, presented the plan to the Council.
