Hostetter Plans
1956 Retirement
Sarnuel K. Hostetter, comptroller and treasurer of the,
University, will retire on June 30, 1956, it was announced
yesterday.
Hostetter has worked for the administration for more
than 47 years and has served under four presidents—Edwin
Erle Sparks, John M. Thomas,
Ralph D. Hetzel, and Dr. Milton
S. Eisenhower.
His retirement was accepted
"with• reluctance" by the execu
tive committee of the Board of
Trustees at its latest meeting.
In his letter to Dr. Eisenhower'
announcing his retirement, Hos- 1
tatter said:
"The privilege of working with .
you during these past five years
has made the culmination of my
48 years of service with the Uni
versity a fine and rewarding ex
perience."
In his reply, Dr. Eisenhower
said:
Few men in American educa
tion • have so conspicuously con
tributed to the building of a
single institution of higher educa-'
tion as you have done at Penn
State. In your nearly half cen
tury
. of service, you have helped
the institution develop from a
'small college to one of the larg
est state universities in the na
tion; you have kept the financial
and physical "structures of the
University in a enviable condi
tion, and at the,
same time you
have helped the
'd ean s, depart
ment heads; and
faculty construct
an ever-growing
educational, re
search, and ex
tension program
of the highest
quality. And in,
doing this you
have had the re
spect and friend-
Hest•tter ship of all."
Starting in 1908 ? his first job
was an assistant in administra
tion. In 1910, after having served
ago as acting financial agent, he
became purchasing agent. In 1923,
he added to these •duties those of
the manager of dormitories.
In 1935, Dr. Hetzel appointed
Min , to the new position of as
sistant to the president in charge
of_ business and finance. He con
tinued with this title until 1950
when he was designated as comp
troller of the University. He has
been treasurer of the University
and of the Board of Trustees since
1936.
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.
Control Threatened
France satlight, its 10-year eco
nomic control ~,o h s the Saar pb
viously threatened by the up
-surge of German national feeling,
but there were indications from
Paris that some kind of calm
compromise would be sought.
Premier Edgar Faure and Chan
cellor • Konrad Aden auer ex
changed telegrams, expressing
their ' conviction that German-
French relations must not be up

election..
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. Inevitably, it
conjured up 'memories of the ple
biscite for union with Nazi Ger
many 20 years-ago.
In Friedrichstlitd, - 120 coal min
ers demanded and won the resig
nation of their mayor, a member
of Hoffmann's Christian' People's
party. But elsewhere in the Saar
people went quietly back to work
after weeks of hectic politics.
Campus :Chest Collects

Over $lOO in contributions were turned into Campus Chest
after the official close of the four-day solicitations Friday
This amount did little to raise the final proceeds, which
fell short of the $6OOO goal by $2,483.10. Tabulations Friday

Acacia won the fraternity tro

FOR . 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. Left to right are Dan Radakovich, Jay
Livziey, Jack Farb, Walt Mazur. and Emil Caprara. West
Virginia won, 21-7. to remain undefeated. 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.

Hat Societies Approve
New Tapping System
A new system of tapping in place of the applications for
men's hat societies was approved at a meeting of Hat Society
Council last night.
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. He said that the system
was suggested because the pre

Injured in
Car Crash
A freshman in chemistry
from Philadelphia was killed
and another freshman was in
jured early Saturday morning
when the car in which they
were riding went out of con
trol and crashed near State Col
lege.
- Dead is William McGarvey,
24, who received a fractured
skull and was pronounced dead
upon arrival at the Centre
County Hospital.
Injured was Alexander Chris
tie, 25, freshman in civil engineer
ing from Philadelphia. Christie
received lacerations of the right
eyelid, forehead, and left arm,
and brushburns of the chest, right
arm and both legs. Hospital atten
dants reported his condition as
satisfactory yesterday afternoon.
Scene of the accident was near
an intersection on Benner Pike,
approximately four miles east of
State College.
State Police said the accident
occurred when the car went out
of control after passing the in
tersection, ran across the high
way, hit a tree, and bounced to
the other side of the highway
into a guard rail.
After hitting the guard' rail,
the car, a convertible, rolled over
on its top. It was completely de
molished. ,
The two men were returning
to State College from Bellefonte,
according to reports.
Police said they were unable
to determine the cause of the ac
cident. They said road conditions
were good and the weather was
clear at the time of crash.
McGarvey, who was released
from the Navy last April, was
a 1949 graduate of Northeast
High School, Philadelphia. Sur
viving are his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William .1. McGarvey,
Philadelphia, and a younger
brother and sister.
Funeral services will be held
at 9:30 am. today at the Fluehr
Funeral Home, Philadelphia. Re
quiem High Mass will be observed
at 11 a.m. in the St. Timothy
Catholic Church. Burial will fol
low at the Our Lady of Grace
Cemetery.
The dean of men's office re
ported yesterday that it had not
determined whether Christie had
a permit to keep the car on cam
pus. Freshmen are subject to a
car ban.
to become a member
Too many men sit down to their
typewriters the night before ap
plications are due, and tell the
society what a great guy they are
just for the sake of a hat, he add
ed. Some men don't even apply
because they don't think they are
worthy.
System Maintains Prestige
The new system will help to
revive the justification of hat so
cieties, he explained, and to main
tain the prestige of a service as
well as honorary society.
At the time of tapping, infor
mation will be distributed to frat
ernities, sororities, and indepen
dent groups on the hat societies.
