    SATURDAY, OCTOBER IS. HS6
• Approximately 1200 enthusiastic students gathered around
a bonfire last night at the Holy Cross-Penn State pep rally.
The Penn State Blue Band led an open convertible motor
cade of students, cheerleaders and members of Cwens, sopho
more women’s hat society, from Recreation Hall down Pollock
road to the bonfire site behind
the Nittany area.
Students, shouting “Let’s go
Penn State,” “Beat Holy Cross!”
followed the motorcade through
Campus to the pep rally.
| Blue Band played down Pollock
road and as the motorcade ar
rived at the bonfire students cir
cled around the bonfire, which
was about 40 feet in diameter.
Sam Walcott, head cheerleader,
told the crowd that members of
the football team had been asked
to speak at the rally, but were
unable to because of a meeting
with coaches.
| Walcott thanked member of
Blue Key, junior men’s hat so
ciety, for building the bonfire,
and members of Cwens, for their
work on the rally.
He also spoke about the flash
card system which the Hat So
ciety Council and the cheerlead
ers hope to have in operation by
the West Virginia-Penn State
game. Freshman were urged to
appear at the next meeting for
instructions on use of the flash
cards.
Students Asked
To Follow Plan
Robert Bahrenburg, All-Uni
versity president, reminded stu
dents last night that if they “sec
tion hop” at today’s game, the
Athletic Association will probably
enforce a more rigid seating ar
rangement.
Students need not sit in the
specific section, row, and seat
listed on their tickets, but must
sit in a section to their class.
Seniors may sit in sections EK,
EJ, EH, and EG, which extend
from the goal line to the 50-yard
line, in the east stands; juniors
may sit in sections NK, NL, and
HM, which are situated in the
end zone; sophomores, sections
NB, NC, ND, NE, end zone; and

Comedy 'My 3 Angels Opens
• Collegian Copy Editor
Three angelic convicts who
take it upon themselves to
straighten out the dire predica
ment of a'n appealing, but im
practical shopkeeper provide the
core of the comedy “My Three
Angels” which opened at Center
Stage last night.
The action is set in a French
penal colony over the Christmas
season. It takes place in the Du
cotel family’s living room, back
of their general store.
The Players’ presentation of the
Broadway hit can be likened to a
tri-legged stool. The action was
supported primarily by the three
Gallic rascals who stole every
thing including the audiences'
hearts. The convicts were deftly
portrayed by George Cavey, Jack
Timmis and Ronald Weitz.
Cavey. as Joseph, carried his
role of the rollicking rascally pro-
COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Review
By BECKY ZAHM
Duff Hits Corruption
in Leader Regime
Senator James H. Duff termed the Leader administra
tion “the rottenest which has ever been in Pennsylvania in
my knowledge” at a press conference in Bellefonte last night.
He said that the state is shot through with corruption
and cited cases in Bucks and 6eaver counties to uphold his
contentions. The press conference preceded a Republican
dinner and rally held in the Cen
tre county court house.
Employees in Beaver county
mills. Duff said, have been get
ting salaries from the state while
working at their regular jobs and
doing no work of any kind for
the state.
As a further example of alleged
corruption Duff referred to the
much-publicized Darcy murder
case in Doylestown in which a
tavern-keeper was shot and killed
during an attempted holdup.
The case will have a definite
bearing on the Bucks county vote.
Duff said. He did not comment on
whether or not the possible dis
content with the State Parole
Board’s ruling to commute the
death sentence.
Duff, who was governor at the
time of the slaying called the
ruling, “one of the foulest blows
against the' due process of law
that was ever struck.”
“It only goes to show,” he add
ed, “that if you have enough mon
ey and political pull you can get
away with murder in Pennsyl
vania.”
Duff, strangely enough, had
little to say about his rival for the
[moter with professional skill. His
j two roguish cohorts delivered
their roles with equal polish, al
though in several places Weitz’s
I leg on the stool wobbled.
[ As the hapless, impractical
'shopkeeper and head of the
household William Warthing does
a more than competent job. Joyce
Andruzak’s portrayal of his pa
tient wife is done with under
standing and skill.
Uncle Henri Portrayed Well
Mark Wallace, as Uncle Henri,
the unscrupulous swindler who
brings the consternation into the
household, delivered a high cali
ber performance. He was simul
taneously arrogant, rude, and vip
erous. He earned his well de
served end.
Patricia Rubin’s performance
as the ingenue daughter of the
[household was somewhat disap
pointing. She was many times
expressionless and unconvincing.
senatorial post, Joseph Clark, for
mer mayor of Philadelphia.
However, he did repeat former
: charges that Clark was the hand-
I picked choice of Governor Leader
■ and Matthew McCloskey, a Phila
delphia real estate man and one
! of the powers of the state Demo
; cratic party.
William J. Greene Jr.. Phila
i delphia congressman, was the
choice of 51 of the 52 ward chair
men in Philadelphia for the sena
torial nomination. Duff said.
However, he said that Leader
and McCloskey stepped in and
hammered the others into line
thus leaving Clark with no oppo
sition.
Duff had a word for college
students when he repeated his
backing of the bill to change the
voting age to 18. He said. “If the
boy can risk his life on the battle
field then he should be able to
voice his opinion on the issues;
and the only way he can do this
is by voting.”
He added that President Eisen
hower also supported the meas
ure but that it did not pass Con
gress.
The audience was distracted by
the fact that she never did seem
able to make up her mind whe
ther to deliver her lines in a
French or English accent.
Dennis Castelli, as Paul, the
nephew of Henri and Marie Lou
ise's lover was indistinguished.
