Ope
To Climax
IFC Rushing
Open houses from 2 to 5 p.m.
tomorrow atl the 54 fraternities
at the University will climax the
-Interfraternity Council’s fresh
men rushing program this week.
Hugh Moore, IFC rushing chair
man, has urged all freshmen and
new students to visit as many
houses during the afternoon as
they possibly can. •
Gives Wider Selection
Visiting more houses will give
them a broader background and a
wider selection of fraternities to
choose from, he said.
A similar open house program
will be conducted from 2 to 5
p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, with all
houses participating.
- Moore said he expects' an ex
ceptionally large number of fresh
men to visit the fraternities to
morrow. judging from the “tre
mendous turnout" of new students
for other events in the rushing
program earlier this week.
Program Began Tuesday
The program began Tuesday
with the showing of the film, “A
Toast to Our Brother,” and the
distribution of the IFC rushing
magazine, Penn State Fraterni
ties.
Moore said most of the fresh
men—many more than were ex
pected—attended the meetings.
They filled out rushing registra
tion cards at the conclusion of the
talks. -
Freshmen and new students
who did not attend the meetings
have been requested to fill out
cards at the Hetzel Union desk
by Monday.

STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 20. 1956
;ate before an estimated 84,000
■ to see a Lion team in a regular
season game. The Buckeyes—un
defeated so far this year with wins
over Nebraska, Stanford, and Illi
nois—are 14-point favorites to
make the Lions their fourth
straight victim. .
This is the first game between
the two teams since 1912. That
year the Lions fielded their
first unbeaten, untied eleven
and trounced the Buckeyes,
37-0, in a game cut short by a
fist fight.
No fist fights are scheduled to
day. but a high-scoring contest
could emerge since both teams
pack potent offenses. Lion Coach
Rip Engle and Buckeye Coach
Woody Hayes are students of the
split-T attack, although Engle has
been also using the straight-T in
the last three games.
Hadio Station WMAJ will
carry the Lion-Buckeye game
beginning at 3 p.m.-(EDT), with
Mickey Beigslein handling the
play-by-play.
Hayes has one of the most awe
some ground attacks in the coun
try, good enough, in fact, to give
his team fifth place in the As
sociated Press poll. The Buckeyes
have thrown only 14 passes this
year.
But Ohio State's "passless of
fense" ignores the pass to a
certain extent and then fakes
the opposition with a running
attack and instead uses the pass
for long yardage.
The only defense to stop this
type attack, according to the Lion
coaching staff, is alertness. The
Nittany backs will have to be on
guard every minute to stop the
unorthodox playing of the Buck
eyes.
But the rough schedule the
Buckeyes have been playing is
beginning to take its toll. Hayes
indicated earlier this week that
he may have to switch starting
tackle and'co-captain Bill Michael
to end because his two "tiny” ends
Fred Kriss and Leo Brown—lB7
pounds and 168 pounds respec
tively—are getting banged around
and are suffering from head in
juries.

Polish Titoism Brings Soviets Running
WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 19
—Nikita S. Khrushchev and
a trio of top-ranking Soviet
army leaders arrived suddenly
and unheralded in Warsaw to
day in utmost secrecy, appar
ently to apply brakes to Poland’s
headlong advance toward inde
pendent Communism.
There was no official announce
ment of the Soviet Communist
party boss’ arrival, but authori
tative sources r said he was driven
in from a military airport just as
the Polish Communist Central
committee was restoring once
condemned and jailed Titoists to
power.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Tricksters Spoil
Safety Record;
Prank *Kills' 40
Did you know there were 40
traffic deaths in the borough of
State College in the last week?
That is, there were 40 deaths
according to the traffic record
sign in front of the State College
Post Office.
In reality the borough is very
proud of its record of no traffic
fatalities in eight years.
The sign, put up to encourage
good driving, had originally read
traffic accidents 120, injuries 43.
and deaths 0. Then in the last
week a major change came about
and the sign read: traffic ’acci
dents 20, injuries 31, deaths 40.
The police department said yes
terday that the work of the prank
ster will definitely be corrected.
Committee Ok's
Continued Use
Of Vote-Docks
All-University Elections Com
mittee last night approved con
tinued use of the same procedures
for vote docking and party plat
form approval that it used last
year.
The committee felt that vote
docking was justifiable because a
candidate could have obtained a
portion of his votes by using a
plank which had been turned
down by the committee as unfeas
ible and which could never be put
into operation.
Fining Idea Rejected
The idea of fining a candidate
who campaigned on a platform
that had been turned down by the
committee was rejected as it was
felt that a small fine would not
be a sufficient penalty and that a
large fine would be uncollectable.
The procedure for party plat
form approval was felt to exercise
some control over political par
ties, and for this reason it was
felt that the policy should be
maintained.
Party Platform Reviewed
The committee also reviewed
the Campus party platform, but
no action was taken. The Lion
party platform was not submitted
in time for the meeting.
The Elections committee will
meet with party clique chairmen
to review platforms at 6 p.m. to
morrow in 9 Carnegie.

Cabinet's
Supports
All-University Cabinet in an executive session Thursday
night approved the retention of William Johnson, chairman ol
the Elections Committee, after Lion party clique chairman
Bryon LaVan asked his resignation.
LaVan accused Johnson of not performing the duties of
Elections Committee, and this, he said, was detrimental to the
Lion party. LaVan also charged
Johnson with too much control
of election technicalities. •
Cabinet moved into an execu
tive session after LaVan present
ed his proposal at the general
meeting. The session, which is
closed to observing students and
the press, was called because, as
a Cabinet member said, “an offi
cial’s reputation may be at stake.”
Vole of Confidence
After discussion on LaVan’s
charges. Cabinet gave Johnson a
vote of confidence because- the
group said the accusations were
nebulous and were not supported
with fact.
LaVan claimed that Lion party
at Sunday night’s meeting lost
150 people because Elections Com
mittee was 15 minutes late in
checking matriculation cards re
quired for attendance.
It was noted by the Collegian
reporter Sunday night that the
Campus party meeting was near
ly an hour late getting under way
also due to congestion at the en
trance.
Confusion ‘for Years'
Robert Bahrenburg, All-Univer
sity president, explained that con
fusion in setting up registration
tables has' been happening for
years and this does not necessar
ily show prejudice on the part of
Johnson.
Regarding smooth functioning,
Bahrenburg said that even Cabi
net members have trouble arriv
ing at meetings on time.
Has Enforcement Authority
In reply to LaVan’s charge of
Elections Committee ‘•dictator
ship,” Cabinet agreed that John
son has the authority to enforce
the Elections Code. This includes
setting time and dates of elec
tions and deadlines for the sub
mission of the party constitution
and campaign platform.
Bahrenburg said after the ses
sion that both Lion and Campus
parties have the right to express
complaints and they will be heard
without bias by Elections Com
mittee or Cabinet.
Among 25 members of Cabinet,
he said, only seven had past po
litical affiliation and this was im
mediately dropped when the of
fice was taken.
