TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1956 Chapel Choir Italian People (Fourth of a series of articles on the chapel choirs six-week tour in Europe this summer.) ■ By MARNIE SCHENCK Jovial, happy go lucky people in a dirty country—this was the impression Italy gave to the Chapel choir during its third week of the six-week European tour this summer. ■' The choir traveled by overnight train to Rome from Saas- Fee, Switzerland, where they had spent a three-day rest period among the clean, majestic AJps. The first two days in Rome were spent mostly in sight seeing in Rome. One of the most impressive tours took them to the Vatican when Pope Pius XII appeared on his balcony, clothed in white and ex tended the papal blessing on the throng below him in St. Peter’s square. Campus (Continued from page one) meeting. It appeared as if, in striv ing to elect Snyder to the chair manship, they took all available opportunities to obtain a recount and then a revote. The election was held Sunday to elect a new chairman, vice chairman, treasurer, executive sec retary, and recording secretary for Campus party. The party’s con stitution states that new officers must be elected within a month after the Fall and Spring. All- University and class elections. Margaret Fisher dnd Mary Krei der were elected to the posts of executive secretary and record-* ing secretary without opposition. University officials are uncertain whether these offices will be ob tained because of the new elec tion planned for Sunday. Two men nominated for treas urer are Ilarry Oxman, and David Tressler. Those nominated for vice-chairman are Joseph Fox and John Wolff.’ New Election Sunday Since these positions were to include drop-downs, no action was taken on the nominations. An en tirely new election will be held Sunday. The party’s executive commit tee last night established a com mittee of the four class clique officers to preside over Sunday’s clique meeting. The committee was selected because the party’s five All-Uni versity clique officers automati cally dropped from office at mid night yesterday. The group will chose one of its members to serve as chairman until the entire clique elects a new chairman. Dr. Ayers, party adviser, re turned from supervising the re count at the first ballot and an nounced the final vote as 93-64. Harold Dean, former Campus par ty vice chairman, immediately contested the election because he said it was invalid. He reiterated the question of the 40-vote dis crepancy. Arguments Ignored Dean’s arguments were ignored by the Campus officers who seemed to want to go on with the election of remaining officers. John Higgins, Lion parliamentar ian, declared that “Abele now has no more right to the chair than the man in the moon.” Dr. Ayers arranged for a re vote near the end of the meeting. When it was Completed, she told the group that the revote had pro duced 20 more ballots than there were people in the room (about 30 persons had left since-the first vote). Dr. Ayers, stating the ballot was disgraceful, suggested the clique adjourn until next Sunday to hold another. election. Her suggestion was quickly affirmed.

College Avenue Opposite Atherton Hall On another occasion, the choir attended the largest operatic stage in the world—the open air Terme-di Caracalla opera. The opera was “Poliuto” (Donizetti) complete with a tremendous cast and live lions which keepers prodded to keep roaring (just one laid down and relaxed). Part of the opera also called for horses to ride across the stage. Three-day Sight Tour Other sight seeing tours during the three days in Rome included the Collosseum, the Roman forum, and the seven hills of Rome. On Sunday the choir gave its only concert in Italy at the St. Paul’s Church, an American Epis copal church. After the concert the choir was treated to a coke party by the church. Some Penn State grad uates, visiting in Rome, turned up for the affair. Churches Crowded On Tuesday the choir left for Florence for three days of sight seeing. Florence, although cleaner' than Rome, proved to be very hot and the churches where the choir was tak e n were extremely crowded. Many of the 74 church members managed to go on shopping sprees in the straw markets in the center of Florence for souvenirs to bring home. On Friday the choir was loaded into buses for the trip through the mountains, theii along the Italian and French Rivieras to Nice, France.

PENNSYLVANIA Finds Jovial / Santa Claus' Embarrassed At Simmons By NANCY SHOWALTER When Santa Claus visited Sim mons Hall Sunday night, it was probably his (or her) most em barassing moment in a long ca reer. Six women were singing “T’was The Night Before Christmas” as part of the annual dormitory Christmas party. About halfway through the song Santa came bounding in. She (not he) was gaily enact ing the words to the song, v(hen suddenly there was a loud pop and Santa's huge, black belt fell off. This was accompanied by gig gles from the audience, as Santa dropped her loaded pack and clutched furiously at the elusive pants. The audience was already roar ing with laughter when Santa ran into more trouble. Her “stomach” (pillows) began to peek over the top of her pants. Santa bravely kept on until the end of the song, when she dashed out and through the lounge to her room. “My pants fell down in the lounge, but I had Bermuda shorts on, so I just kept on going,” San ta said from the safety of the North Pole.. Oh, yes, Santa was Virginia MacDonald, junior in secondary education from Bloomsbury, N.J.
