Winners to Be Revealed
After Basketball Game
The winner of Spring Week and winners of the indi
vidual events in Spring Week will be announced following
the Donkey Basketball Game to be held at 6:45 tonight in
Recreation Hall.
A total of 16 trophies will be awarded for the 1956 Spring
Week.
Forty were presented last year. According to Richard
Seng, Spring Week chairman, the
number was reduced to give more
money to Campus Chest to which ,
the Spring Week proceeds are
being donated this year.
Two games will be played to
night, one between the CLWDN I.
(campus leaders who do nothing)
and members of the faculty, and
the other among house presidents,
composed of the Alpha and the
Omega teams.
Silva Serves
As Consultant
On Amendment
Dr. Ruth C. Silva, associate pro
fessor of political science, has
served as a special consultant to
Sen. Paul H. Douglas of Illinois
on the proposed constitutional
amendment to revise the electoral
college system.
Dr. Silva aided Sen. Douglas
in preparing and assembling a
comprehensive, statistical analy
sis of the implications and likely
results of the proposed changes
in the present system of choosing
the president and vice president.
She was requested to assist in the
matter because of her extensive
research and publication in this
field.
During Senate debate on the
amendment, Sen. John F. Ken
nedy of Massachusetts was quot
ed:
" . . . Let me say that Dr. Ruth
C. Silva, who I believe knows as
much about this matter as does
anyone, has made a study of the
matter, based on a proportionate
division of the votes: and she
points out, in effect, that such a
change would make the election
closer in the years when the Re
publicans lost the presidency, but
3t also would endanger the chan
ces of Republican victory in the
years when the Republicans won."
Both senators have made fre
quent reference to the studies of
Dr. Silva. Sen. Douglas referred
to Dr. Silva as "the most skilled
expert on the whole subject."

Police Start
Crackdown
On Drivers
An all-out drive on motor ve
hicle violations_and a campaign
for bicycle registrations have
been launched by State College
police, according to Chief John
It. Juba.
The stepped-up enforcement on
automobiles was announced after
a special conference of police,
Borough Manager R. Y. Edwards,
and Burgess David R. Mackey
Tuesday. at which they discussed
traffic safety.
Violations Bring Increase
A majority of the increasing toll
of accidents in the borough has
been caused by violations of the
law on the part of motorists, Juba
said. Twenty-seven injuries have
resulted from 72 motor accidents
since Jan. 1, a much larger total
than for the same period last
year, according to authorities.
We'll need motorist and pe
destrian cooperation to stop these
accidents, and we intend to get
it," Juba said. "Our intent is to
catch violators before they cause
an accident."
Bicycles to Carry Licenses
Juba also announced that all
bicycles must carry 1956 borough
licenses, and that they must be
mounted intact on the bicycle.
Tags may be purchased at the
State College Municipal building,
S. Frazier street, after the bicycle
has been inspected at one of the
five bicycle inspection stations
in the borough. The stations are:
Bathurst Gulf Service, College
avenue and Atherton street;
College Heights Service Sta
tion, 803 N. Atherton street;
Horlacher's Service Station, 705
S. Atherton street;
Lambert's Service Station, 826
Old Boalsburg road;
Wimmer's Service Station, 502
