Two Seating Plans Proposed Reserved Seats Urged Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the College of Physical Education and Athletics, has announced two seating plans for the football games at New Beaver Field next fall for the consideration of All-University Cabinet. Cabinet last night rejected both plans and adopted its own. which it will submit to McCoy. McCoy’s first proposed seating plan provides: 1. Issuing to each student a reserved seat in a specific section by class. 2. There will be no sale of tickets to anyone at any game for seats in the student sections. 3. Students may arrange at the time of registration to sit with friends who are in the same academic class. This arrangement was offered^ to the student body last semester but was abarfdoned after widespread protest. Education Council Has Highest Turnout In Council Voting With the opinions of election committee members run ning from "very good” to “pure apathy”, seven student coun cil elections came to a close at 5 p.m. yesterday. Only one college had a 50 per cent voting average in the two day elections, with the average turnout running around 34 per cent. The Education Student Council elections recorded the largest vote with an average o: UN Seeks OK Of U.S. Plan For Palestine UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., March 22 Q P) The Security Council meets Monday on the Palestine crisis with Russia ex pected, at least tentatively, to ap prove a new American-sponsored plan. It would send Secretary Gen. Dag Hammarskjold on a Middle East peace mission, possibly on April 2. Reds Silent on Plan The Soviet delegation remained officially silent on the stand it will take in the Council but Sov iet sources said unofficially they saw nothing wrong with the idea at the moment. The delegation is awaiting in structions from Moscow. Enforcement Survey Planned The resolution asks Hammar skjold to undertake “as a matter of urgent concern” a survey of. enforcement and compliance with the Israeli-Arab armistice agree ments and with Council resolu tions calling for maintenance of; peace. It suggests Hammarskjold ar range measures to reduce tension. Review Thespians Present 'South Pacific By TED SERRIED While the South Sea aura of Bali Hai was overshown by the enchanting follies of some slap happy seabees and the sparkling vitality of its heroine, Thespians’ Spring production of "South Pa cific” provided an evening of en tertainment rarely shown at the University. Carolyn O’Donnell as Ensign Nellie Forbush; Philip Wein, as a happy-go-lucky seabee, Luther Billis, and Elizabeth Ives’ natural portrayal of the old native wom an, Bloody Mary, practically made the show by themselves. These three forged the first act of the esteemed Rodgers and Hammersiein musical drama into the bright array of music and humor which luckily offset much of the second act's false pathos.

The smallest vote, 15 per cent, was east by students of the Engineering and Archi tecture College. Ties occurred in two college elections. In the College of Edu cation race for senior representa tives, Joanne Seaman and Vir ginia Weigle were tied for the eighth seat, while Ann Nitrauer and Myrna Paynter were tied for the sixth position on the junior board. All four will be appointed to the Education council. In the College of Engineering and Architecture, no votes were recorded in the fifth year archi tecture student division, although three students were running for the post. According to council of ficials, the case will be brought up at the next Engineering Coun cil meeting. If insufficient interest is shown in the post, the seat will be dropped from the council. Ties occurred for two positions in the Engineering Student Coun cil race. Thomas Schneider and Richard Sikeler were tied for the junior board position in the aero nautical division. Frederick Con don and Edwin McLaughlin were also tied for the sophomore post in the Civil Engineering division. A runoff vote for these two posts will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Monday in the lobby of Main Engineering. j In the College of Business Ailministrs tion, 231 of the 835 student* eligible to vote cast their ballots for an overall total of 28 per cent, three per cent higher than last year's results.

Surrounded by glittering stage properties and playing under a bright yellow light. Miss O'Donnell could hardly have been better as Nellie. She sung and danced her way into hearts of the audience but couldn't have done it without the more than able assistance of the singing and dancing chorus. These chorus members cavorted about stage in such a delightful manner. Full credit should, be given to the efforts of musical director Mike Rosenfeld and choreographer Mary Tassia. Miss Ives was overwhelming as Bloody Mary, the center of one ofi Two Ties Occur BusAd Council Cabinet Asks for Old System All-University Cabinet last night proposed that the administration adopt the seating plan used in 1954 for the football games next fall in Beaver Field. Under this system students would be permitted to sit in any section designated to his academic class. It would do away with giving a reserved seat to each student or assigning each student one particular section in his class area. These last arrangements were the basic ingredients of two seating plans proposed by Ernest B. McCoy, director of athletics. Cabinet rejected both of McCoy’s plans and drew up its own. ®lje VOL. 56. No. 110 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 23. 1956 FIVE CENTS 'Code' Violations Voting Decrease 1166 Students Ballot; Two-Day Total at 26.6% An additional 1166 students—ll. 3 per cent of the University's undergraduate enrollment —voted in the second day of the All-Univer sity elections yesterday and brought the two day total to 2738, or 26.6 per cent. The polls Will open again at 8:30 a.m. today and balloting will continue until 2:30 p.m. when elections will come to a close. Roger Beidler, All-University Elections Committee chairman, said last night that he could point to no single factor accounting for the decrease in today’s turnout. “In the past a second-day lull has always been noticed, and this year appears to be no exception,” jßeidler said. 'No Rush Periods' Elections Committee members reported that yesterday’s turnout was “just about” as heavy be tween classes as Wednesday’s, I but that there were practically I no rush periods during class hours, | as was the case Wednesday.
