More Riots
In Cyprus
NICOSIA, Cyprus, March 20 (/P)
—Hundreds of young Turkish
Cypriots stoned and looted Greek
Cypriot shops here today in re
prisal for anti-Turkish rioting at
the village of Vasilia.
They battled police and troops
who tried to intervene and shook
off the efects of round after round
of tear gas fired at them during
a three-hour demonstration. They
finally heeded an appeal of Dr.
Fazil Kucuk, leader of the island’s
Turkish minority, and dispersed.
The fighting centered in Ata
turk Square, named after Kamal
Ataturk, founder of modern Tur
key. The neighborhood is pre
dominately Turkish. The narrow
streets were littered wth broken
glass, wrecked furniture, scat
tered books and papers a'nd tele
phones and fans torn from their
fittings.
Despite the fierceness of the at
tacks, the only known serious cas
uality was a Greek Cypriot news
photographer. He was beaten
when he tried to take pictures.
No arrests were reported, al
though the rioting occurred with
in 100 yards of divisional police
headquarters.

ity Elections Begin
50 Per Cent
Vote Is Goal
For Election
A 50 per cent voting turnout
will be the goal of this year’s
All-University elections, All-Uni
versity Elections Committee
Chairman Roger Beidler said yes
terday.
The highest voting percentage
ever recorded was 46.8 per cent
—set in 1954. In that election 4420
students cast ballots.
Last year 3679 students out of
the 9984 who were eligible, voted
for a percentage of 37.7.
In the record year of 1954 a de
centralized voting system was
used. Polls were located in War
ing Hall, the lounge in Old Main,
and in the Nittany-Pollock area.
Last year centralized voting—
with four voting machines in the
Hetzel Union Building was used.
This plan was adopted again this
year by the All-University Elec
tions Committee. However, this
year only two voting machines
will be used.
Last year 15.6 per cent of the
student body voted on the first
day. A total of 1868 students
voted. The record for first day
vote was set in 1954 also with a
percentage of 28.7 and a total vote
of 2719 students.
In a breakdown of last year’s
first day voting the seniors and
freshmen who %'oted for All-Uni
versity officers had the largest
vote total, 1051. Juniors had 423
voting while 394 sophomores
voted.
The clique chairmen of both
parties, Robert Spadaro, Lion,
and William Snyder, Campus,
have urged students to vote re
gardless of pSrly affiliationin an
effort to put the voting turnout
over 50 per cent.
Food Service Says
Blue Plate Special
Sales Are Small
Fewer people are demanding
the “plate special" now being of
fered in the Hetzel Union Ter
race dining room than formerly
demanded the now discontinued
“student special,” according to
Mildred Baker, food service di
rector.
The food service has received
requests for the” renewal of the
“student special,” Miss Baker
said.
The “plate special” is still in
the experimental stage, she said.
However, she said, the total num
ber of persons eating in the HUB
may have increased slightly.
The increase is not necessarily
because of the “plate special,” she
said. The food service at this time
of year is normally busier than
at other times, Miss Baker said.
The program will continue un
til Easter recess and will be re
sumed afterward unless food ser
vice feels it is not worthwhile,
she said.
Speaking of food prices, Miss
Baker said the management of
the HUB dining room is perfectly
free to adjust food prices accord
ing to costs.
Clear, Warmer Weather
Clear and warmer is the wea
ther forecast for today, the first
day of spring. The predicted high,
according to the students in the
department of meteorology, is 50
degrees. The expected low is 30.
