Within the past seven years, the borough has twice rejected refer endum proposals to permit the showing of Sunday movies. Close Vole Robert G. Neilson, manager of the Cathaum theater, described the past votes as being "very close." This time over 1100 peo ple signed the petition to put the referendum on the ballot, he said. In 1951 the vote was 1564 in favor of legalizing Sunday movies to 1671 votes opposing the movies. This margin of 107 votes, how ever, was greater than the mar gin in the 1947 referendum, when a recount of the votes reduced the gap from 85 to 66 votes. Such a referendum may be held only once in four years. Oppose Movies Dr. Leon R. Kneebone, presi dent of the State College Council of Churches, a group representing most of the Protestant churches in State College, said that the Council has actively opposed Sun day movies in the last two elec tions, but has decided to adopt no policy this time. However, he said, this does not mean that they are in favor of Sunday movies. A law passed by the Pennsyl vania State Legislature on July 2, 1935, made A illegal to show movies before 2 p.m. under any conditions, but said municipali ties may decide by popular ref erendum to permit the showing of movies after 2 p.m. TODAY'S WEATHER CLEAR.

Review Players Present 'Mikado Players, with the aid of the departments of music and drama, produces some excellent music and singing in the "Mikado" at Schwab Auditorium last night. Gilbert and Sul ly difficult to produce and g a top-notch performance. livan's 'Mikado' is traditiona Players has difficulty in givi This new combination of depart ments has some justification— evidenced by the excellent lyrics satiring Japanese life during the reign of planned marriages and strict civil laws. However, many lead characters had trouble getting enough vol ume into their singing lines, while borrowed musical tal e n t •has trouble getting action into their roles. Two exceptions are evident— Nanki-Poo, played by John Cox, and Ko-Ko, played by Wayne Zarr. Nanki-Poo, son of the Mi kado of Japan, acts and 'sings his role of a disguised minstrel who is in love with Yum Yum with great ease. Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner, does the best job of all-round acting and singing in distressing plight as a kind hearted fellow who has to per form an execution—or else lose his position. Ray Vanderbilt, as the chief of government holding many titles, does a good job of acting hia es teemed position, but becomes a little weak on singing his solo parts. Claire Ganim as the much de sired Yum-Yum, promised in marriage to Ko-Ko, but in love with Nanki-Poo, is at her best when with Jane Mort and Betty Harned, the two sisters of Yum- Yum. Their song s, especially when backed up with the wom en's chorus, are completely de lightful. Without support she falls below standards.

The Israelis FOR A BETTER PENN STATE By DOTTIE STONE 725 Volunteer Student Donors Pledge Blood Approximately 725 students have volunteered to donate blood, Marilynn Zabusky, publicity com mittee chairman, announced yes terday. The number will probably be increased slightly by schedule slips returned yesterday after noon. An estimated 275 walk-ins will still be needed .if the drive is to achieve its goal of 900 pints. Some students will be rejected because of physical disability, and others because of age. Miss Zabusky said that a number of students who are under 18 filled in forms. These students will not be allowed to give blood even if they hgve a minor release form. Walk-ins must be at least 21 in order to give blood. Students who have not turned in their minor release forms must bring them to the bloodmobile. The drive will be held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in the card and television room of the Hetzel Union Building. Clear Weather Predicted Temperatures will remain near freezing today, with clear and cool weather predicted for tomor row, according to the University weather station. Desert Post say the post is in Israeli territory and the Egyptians insist it is in theirs. Israelis Claim Post According to the Egyptians, the post changed hands twice and now is held by Egyptian troops. The Israelis claim they still hold the post. Accusing the Egyptians of oc cupying El Sabha in violation of the armistice, Israeli forces at tacked and seized the post last night. Today the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced the "Egyp tian invader" had been expelled from Israeli territory. The Egyptians indicated there was action by warplanes but the Israeli announcement made no mention of air operations. Army headquarters in Cairo said the Israelis last night threw 3000 troops against 100 Egyptians at the El Sabha post. Talltijiatt The donkey softball game, which would be played under regulation rules, except that the players would have to remain at tached to the live mules in any way possible, would be held Tuesday evening. Opposing teams would be com posed of the He-Man contestants and the Ugly Man Contest en trants. At the same time, the v;in ner of the Ugly Man contest would be announced. Seng said admission would be charged if a suitable site at which to hold the event could be found. He also said the evening's pro gram is subject to approval by Alpha Phi Omega, sponsors of the Ugly Man Contest. Contest Finals Wednesday Finals for the He-Man and Mad- Hatters contests are planned for Wednesday evening. At the same time, a collection would be taken for the Olympic Fund. The annual carnival would be held for one night, from 7 to 11 Thursday. It would be run similar to other years, Seng said. Price for tickets was. proposed as. 10 cents. Involves Less Students Seng explained that although the revised plan has many activi ties, most of the student body would act only as spectators, ex cept in the preparation for carni val displays. The carnival, under the proposed plan, would be cut from two nights to one. There would be no float parade as in former years. The second plan called for a float parade, which would be held Sunday evening "if possible." Monday would be open, and a reg ular softball game—without the use of donkeys and opposing stu dents and faculty members— would be held Tuesday evening. A two-night carnival would be scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday nights. Contests Not Mentioned The second plan did not men tion the traditional He-Man and Ugly Man contests. The committee was established because Cabinet members agreed that Spring Week was becoming too big and getting out of hand. Cabinet will discuss the two proposals in two weeks. Robert Bullock, Interfraternity Council president, asked that discussion be delayed until IFC, which also has a committee investigating Spring Week, can discuss Spring Week proposals.
