Cabinet Votes to Hold
NSA Meeting on Campus
The much-discussed question of the National Student Association came up for con
sikiviatlon again by All-University Cabinet Thursday night. Cabinet voted to invite the
Pennsylvania-West Virginia region to hold its convention at the University this spring.
The lengthy debate appeared to he a reiteration of the semester-long discussion. The
University _resumed membership in NSA last semester.
The motion was introduced by Philip Beard, All-University secretary-treasurer, and
immediately came under question
'from many quarters.

Problems B
Many technical innovations
and much back stage talent
was necessary before Fred
Waring's musical "Hear!
Hear!" could take to the road.
These include everything
from collapsible scenery to
lighting experts fur the show's
"electronic ballet" sequence.
, Waring employed Sam Leve,
the scenic designer for many
Broadway hit shows, to make
collapsible sets sturdy enough to
survive a 25,000 mile truck tour.
A problem of logistics was en
countered in moving the ten tons
of equipment necessary for the
show. Other preparations for the
tour such as arranging hotel reser
vations, preparing publicity, and
other minor details created an
other headache in the production
of "Hear! Hear!"
For the "electronic ballet" se
quence of the show. Waring's ex
pert in audio problems set to work
on microphones and speakers.
Waring, together with his music
at rangers Harry Simeone, Hawley
Ades, Roy Ringwald and Charley
Naylor, set to work making new
arrangements for the songs in the
new pageant. Music copyist Earl
Sisson took on a three month's
task of copying a "part" of each
song for every member of the
glee club and orchestra.
Last, but not least, the "Penn
sylvanians" spent long hours re
hearsing the intricacies of an en
tirely new production. The result:.

weeks.
Beard said he thought NSA
members would experience no
embarassment as the visitors
would not be likely to ask ques-
tion:- about the NSA structure. He
felt they would want to know
about the individual student gov
ernment groups on campus.
He said the NSA visitors would
be more likely to ask about the
Association of Independent Men
and the Inter fraternity Council.
"Even if we didn't have NSA
at Penn State," Beard said, "we
could still hold the convention on
campus."
McMillan Takes Negative Stand
Robert McMillan, senior class
president, also questioned the wis-
dom of holding the convention
here. McMillan said that since the
University had just re-installed
NSA it might not be ready to take
on the burden of hosting an entire
region of its members.
He was answered by Robert
Bahrenburg, junior class presi
dent, who said he believed that
there was no better way to get
INSA off on the right foot than to
sponsor regional convention.
Bahrenburg m i l d l y rebuffed
NSA's opponents by stating that
the people who had objected to
hosting the convention were hagg
ling on small, insignificant points

last night at the Home Delivery Pizzaria before giving up.

lenged him to eat 3 large pizzas
with tomato sauce, cheese, and
mushrooms in 2 hours. He was to
drink a quart of skim milk with
them.
For two days before the attempt,
LaVan ate large meals, trying to
stretch his stomach. He ate only
breakfast yesterday.
During the time in which he
was to eat the pizza LaVan took
time out to walk around the block
several times to settle the food
in his stomach.
Ten persons stood about offer
ing advice to LaVan and urging
him to eat faster when it appeared
he was falling behind schedule.
After he quit, LaVan said he
could have done it if he had had
more time.
