Horro
I
Parade Through Snow, Cold
Through snow, rain, and cold weather the Ugly Man par
ade marched down Pollock road last night with a blare of
horns and a hoard of nightmarish men grimacing at the crowd.
A small but stalwart crowd turned out for the parade,
which might have been the inspiration for a Frankenstein
horror film. There were ugly men with square heads, no
heads, and heads in their hands, while others seemed to be
dug from the grave.
The three winning floats picked by judges last night be
longed to Alpha Tau Omega,
Lambda Chi Alpha, and Delta Up
silon.
Most Residents
Are Cooperative
In Housing Survey
Most residents contacted in the
University Christian Association
housing survey are cooperating
and are willing to fill out the
survey questionnaires, according
to Joyce Cox, survey committee
chairman.
At a meeting the representa
tives of the UCA, Hillel, Alpha
Phi Omega, national service fra
ternity, and various student re
ligious groups held last night
three representatives were pres
ent to discuss progress and prob
lems of the survey. The difficulty
in locating home owners to pre
sent them with questionnaires
was one problem brought up by
the representatives.
The purpose of the survey,
which will continue until April
30, is to determine how many
residents are willing to rent
rooms to foreign students and
American Negroes. Lists of these
rooms will be available to stu
dents who have difficulty in ob
taining rooms.

Alpha Tau Omega proclaimed
its ugly man to be the "Chief of
the Hairy Chested Tribe." John
Hamilton as the chief, with a side
wise jaw, glass eye, and black
cape, spent the evening chasing
brown skinned South Sea Island
girls.
Lambda Chi's ugly man,
Charles Witmer, was doomed to
death in the electric chair sur
rounded by a bevy of coeds in
prison suits.
Heap Has Teeth
"The Heap" (William Moyer,
sponsored by Delta Upsilon and
Zeta Tau Alpha) resembled noth
ing human. Moyer was a "heap"
of large white teeth, hairy arms
and legs, and burlap with bran
ches.
Probably the least murderous
looking of the ugly was Lloyd
Arms, who as "Baby Long Arms"
rocked peacefully down Pollock
road in a cradle. Arms was spon
sored by Alpha Chi Omega and

Bogus Vendors
Sell Magazines
To Fraternities
Fraternities who bought maga-!
zine subscriptions from the Union
Distribution Co. last week will be
able to get their magazines, al
though the salesmen who sold
them were no longer affiliated
with that company.
Donald Reidenbaug,h, executive
secretary of Interfraternity Coun
cil, which issued IFC vendors per
mits to the two last Tuesday, said
yesterday that the company is
bonded and will make good on
any subscriptions sold.
Fraternities bought what Reid-,
enbaugh estimated as "a couple
of hundred dollars worth of sub
scriptions" from two crippled men
who said they were representing
the Union Distribution Co. of
New York City.
Reidenbaugh said the men told
him they intended to give part
of their profits to the Crippled
Children's Society. He added that
they said that they, already had
obtained a vendors permit from
the State College Chamber of
Comerce and only needed an IFC
permit.
Complaints from several fra
ternities prompted an investiga
tion which revealed that the sales
man had obtained no permit from
the local Chamber of Commerce.
Police were then notified of the:
presence of the men, but they had
already left town.
The next day Reidenbaugh said
he wired the New York office and
asked about the two men. It was
then that IFC learned that the
men had been dismissed and were
using old company receipts to sell
magaine subscriptions on their
own.

junior in business administration
from Pittsburgh, was nominated
for treasurer.
Nominations may be made by
any member of the AIM Board of
Governors, or a student may nom
inate himself by presenting a pe
tition to the board of governors
signed by 300 independent men.
;A student must have a 2.0 All

sixth semester men may run for
president.
Living Plan on Agenda
In addition to elections, the
controversial community living
plan sponsored by AIM will be
aired again.
The plan calls for men and wo
men, although living in separate
units, to eat and mix together in
recreational programs. -
Bruce Lieske, AIM president,
said last night a letter from Ohio
State University would be read
at the AIM meeting. He termed
the letter "very encouraging." Ac
cording to the letter, a community
living plan, similar to the one
backed by AIM, is now in effect
at Ohio State University. The let
ter said that when the plan was
instituted it received much criti
cism, but now the plan has
"worked out tremendously."
Situation Paralleled
Lieske said this closely paral
lels the situation at the Univer
sity, where the plan has been
both jeered and cheered.
William B. Crafts, assistant to
the dean of men, told AIM last
week that he favored the plan,
but many details had to be work
ed out before it could be insti
tuted at the University.
Improves Relations
Crafts said he felt the plan• was
a natural relationship between
men and women, and is the only
"genuine" way the University can
improve customs, manners, mores,
and other traits of students.
Also on the AIM agenda is the
approval of a $3OO appropriation
for students who attended the
National In d e pendent Students
Association Conference in Texas,
and the appointment of a new
AIM Judicial chairman.
Tribunal Applications
Tribunal application blanks are
available at the Hetzel Union desk
for juniors and seniors with a 2.3
All-University average.
Applications are due by 5 p.m.

Indictment
On Lorch
Is Dropped
A contempt of Congress indict
ment against Dr. Lee Lorch, for
mer assistant professor of mathe
matics at the University, was dis
missed last Friday in Dayton,
Ohio.
While at the University in 1950,
Dr. Lorch, now a professor at Fisk
University, was the subject of an
academic liberties issue which at
tained national scope.
His contract was terminated by
the board of trustees without of
ficial reason after he participated
in anti-discrimination activities
in the Stuyvesant Town housing
project in New York City.
Physicist Albert Einstein sent
,letters of protest to Adrian_ 0.
jMorse, then University provost,
the late James Milholland, presi
dent of the trustees, and Dr. Mil
ton S. Eisenhower, president of
the University. The Progressive
Party protested the dismissal, and
The New York Times commented
. adversely on the situation.
Dr. Lorch received the federal
indictment for refusing to answer
questions in September of 1954
'before the 'House Committee on
Un-American Activities, accord
ing to yesterday's Centre Daily
Times. No reason was given for
dropping the indictment.
Morse, on behalf of the Trus
tees. questioned Dr. Lorch about
'his sub-letting an apartment in
the housing project to a Negro
family and asked if he was a
.member of the Communist party.
Dr. Lorch refused to answer
the second question because he
said he considered it irrelevant to
academic freedom.
