TIM Sees
Ice Show
Obstacles
William Normal), publicity
chairman for Town Independent
Men, said yesterday that several
difficulties have arisen in at
tempting to plan an ice show.
Norman said that a consider
able number of students have
signed up to take part in the af
fair. No exact figures were avail
able, but Norman said students
had signed up for all phases of
the show, including costuming,
lights, and choreography.
Norman said he hoped that the
Penn State Outing Club and TIM
could work together on the ice
show if it is held.
He explained that members of
TIM have _discussed the project
with two members of the admin
istration and have not received
encouragement.
Adrian 0. Morse, University
provost, said he thought the idea
was good, but that Ernest B. Mc-
Coy, dean of the College of Phy
sical Education —and Athletics,
would be able to discuss the prob
lem involved, according to Nor
man.
McCoy mentioned that .at pre
sent there are no bleachers that
would fit the rink. He said they
would have to build them, or the
audience would have to_stand.
Weather also presented a prob
lem, according to McCoy. He said
shows would have to be short be
cause of the .tempeiatures the
audience would have to stand.
McCoy told Norman that there
are no dressing , , room facilities.
Norman said one of the major
problems McCoy presented is
practice time for participants. He
said the University is trying to
pay off the money they borrowed
to build the rink, and that they
would not want to keep paying
students from using the rink.
McCoy told 'Norman that it
takes two and a half hours every
morning to clean the rink for af
ternoon use; therefore these hours
could not be used.
Norman said he plans to look
into the matter further, and has
not given up the attempt to have
an ice show.

Gaza Strip . Calm;
2 Tiffs Reported
JERUSALEM, Nov. 4 (W)—
Comparative quiet returned to
the Israeli-Egyptian frontier to
day, although Israel reported an
Egyptian attack by two platoons
on an outpost east of the Gaza
Strip.
An Israeli spokesman said the
Egyptians were repulsed by ma
chinegun and rifle fire. Egyptian
spokesmen in Cairo made no men
tion of such an attack.
A U.N. spokesman said Israeli
and Egyptian forces continued an
exchange of mortar and artillery
fire farther south of the El Auja-
Nizana demilitarized zone, scene
of a bloody battle yesterday, but
"nothing serious happened."

rom winning on Beaver Field
for 21 years.
Penn State's star halfback,
Lenny Moore, unable to get his
running game out of the dol
drums for the past six weeks, and
his former running mate at Read
ing High School,' halfback Jim
Brown, Syracuse's speedy Negro
left halfback, will meet today for
different purposes as they duel
for the afternoon honors.
Moore, playing on only his sec
ond dry field in six games at Penn
last week, brought his season to
tal to 363 yards when he col
lected 49 yards. He has carried
94 times' for a 3.9 average per
carry.
The fleet speedster misses the
blocking of 1954 supplied by ends
Jim Garrity and Jesse Ar rtelle,
tackle Rosey Grier, and halfback
Ron Younkers. He misses the
1954 quarterbacking of versatile
Don Bailey.
Coach Rip Engle, plagued with
injuries all season as the opposi
tion has battered the smallest
eleven that Engle has coached
during his six years at the Nit
tany Vale, has made lineup chan-1
ges in two spots.
Tackles Walt Mazur and Clint
Law replace Jack Calderone.
Both will be used interchange
ably. Mazur is a 225-pound senior
from Tamaqua and Law, who has
seen off-and-on action this year,
'a a .8-4 210-pound Downingtown
native.
At ' end, where Engle has felt
the heaviest brunt of the injury
hoaX, he's named Jim Caldwell
to take over for injured Paul
North. North, a left end, along
with ends Doug Mechlin; and
Ned Finkbeiner, have been in and
out of the end slots all year with
injuries.
Tackle reserve Jim Harding,
ends Les Walters and Leo Kwa
lik, guard Dick DeLuca, and cen
ter Dan Radakovich, will see ac
tion. The four DeLuca started
until a slight injury recently
slowed him—have been valuable
substitutes.

Cold Weather,
Snow Predicted
For the second time in three
years the department of meteor
ology has predicted light snow
flurries or the weekend of the
Junior Prom.
In 1953, however, the "light
flurries" developed into a snow
fall of 13 inches, which set a new
record. for November.
The forecast for today is partly
cloudy weather with cool temper
atures and a chance of scattered
snow. The temperature is expect
ed to reach a high of 45 to 50
degrees, and the low tonight will

Accrediting Program
Will Begin Monday
The University's educational objectives and how well
they are attained are the basis for the accreditation program
to be held Monday through Wednesday.
The accreditation will be done by 58 members of the
Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
the official accrediting organiza
tion in this area
University officers feel there is
little doubt that the University
will be accredited. However,
there may be areas which will
need special emphasis and more
development, according to Ad
rian 0. Morse, University pro
vost.
The organization has no set
standards which a school must
meet.
Instead, the team judges each
school according to the quality of
its objectives, and whether or not
the objectives are fulfilled.
The University has been an ac
credited school since the first list
of accredited schools was pub
lished in 1921. Since then the as
sociation has decided to re-eval
uate schools every 10 years. This
is the first time the University
has been re-evaluated.
The evaluation will be conduct
ed through interviews with deans,
department heads, University of
ficers, and various faculty mem
bers and students.
Molotov Rebuffs
New Western Plan
GENEVA, Nov. 4 (W)—Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
rebuffed tonight a new Western
proposal to begin reunification of
Germany by nationwide elections
next September. He will fly to
Moscow tomorrow—possibly to
receive new instructions.
The 65-year-old diplomat's dis
closure that he will make a round
trip to the Soviet capital during
a three-day recess of the Geneva
conference stirred immediate
speculation that he may come
back with revised ideas on the
deadlocked German problem.
He turned down the West's
newest German unification plan'
at today's Big Four session.

Cabinet Seeks Ruling
On Student 'Salaries'
All-University Cabinet approved a motion Thursday night
that an individual's monetary compensation in a student
activity should not exceed that of the All-University presi
dent.
The All-University president's compensation is $3OO a

Student Activities.
The motion, which was made
by Louis Adler, president of the
Liberal Arts Student Council, was
referred to the Senate Commit
tee on Student Affairs. The vote
was 15 to 8.
Adler apparently made the mo
