Attend West Virginia Rally
B t RANDY MURRAY
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon frat
ernity copped gold cup honors in the banner display contest
amid an enthusiastic throng of 1000 students at the Penn
State-West Virginia pep rally last night.
Marching to the morbid sound of a dishpan, an initial
group- of Thetas, representing a medical corps, became the
center of attention in front of
Rec Hall.
Profs Object;
Bands Banned
From Campus
Anybody notice the absence of
the Army, Navy, and Air Force
Reserve Officers Training Corps
bands from the campus yester
day?
For the information of students
who weren’t on campus yesterday,
the bands weren’t either.
Recently, faculty members in
Sparks. Mineral Industries.
Main Engineering, and Willard
have sent requests to the Uni
versity administration asking
that the bands practice in some
area other than main campus.
The music, the members said,
disturbs their classes.
Because of these requests, the
three RDTC heads—Col. Arthur
W. Kogstad, Army; Capt. Victor
B. McCrea, Navy; and Col. Daniel
F. Riva, Air Force—met last week
and decided to prohibit the bands
from playing yesterday.
The ban was in affect yesterday
only.
The trio decided to hold fur
ther meetings in an attempt to
cope with the problem.

Carry Mouniy Body
Immediately behind them came
a giant stuffed body of a West
Virginia player, carried in a prone
position and in obvious need of
repair.
The coeds, who sang an original
parody entitled ‘The Old Moun
tain Crew,” were well accepted
by the students.
Sigma Phi Epsilon won the
favor of the crowd and judges
with their large platform bearing
statues of the Nittany Lion and
the West Virginia' Mountaineer.
As an indication of the outcome
of the game, the Lion was de
picted as springing at the defense
less Mounty.
Cheers Preceed Contest
The display- contest was pre
ceded by a few cheers.
During the tabulation of points
by the judges, students heard Nit
tany line coach Tor Toretti laud
the students for school spirit.
Toretti, just a week ago, pre
dicted the upset at Ohio State
from the steps of Rec Hall.
The contest was judged on a
30-point basis. A maximum of
10 points was allotted for the
three major considerations en
thusiasm, effort and time spent on
the project, and the overall uni
formity of the performing group.
H-Bomb Testing
Not Issue-Ike
NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (/P)—Pres
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower said
tonight “the compelling challenge
before the world is not the matter
of testing” H-bombs and other
atomic weapons, “but of making
impossible their use in any atomic
war.”
Hitting again at the call of Ad
lai E. Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential nominee, for the
United States to take the lead in
seeking world agreement to ban
hydrogen bomb testing, the Pres
ident said he wanted to:
“Reiterate —as we constantly
do America’s instant readiness
to lay aside all nuclear weapons
including this testing when,
but only when, we have sure safe
guards that others will do the
same.’*

VOL. 57. No. 33 STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 26. 1956 FIVE CENTS
[Auto Crash
May Lead
To Charges
Campus Patrol is charging Law
rence Post, senior in horticulture,
jwith misrepresentation of auto
not properly regis
tering his car.
This was disclosed after patrol
men investigated a broad-side
auto collision at the intersection
of Shorllidge and Curtin roads at
8 a.m. yesterday which caused an
estimated $9OO worth of damages.
Driving North When Hit
Clarence Weaver, Lemont, was
driving north on Shortlidge road,
when his car was struck by the
auto driven by Post.
Post told Campus Patrol he
stopped at the Curtin road stop
sign and pulled out not seeing
the on-coming car.
The entire front end of the Post
car was crimped at an estimated
$5OO. Damages to Weaver’s car,
left side and front panel, were esi
mated at $4OO.
Patrolmen who were called to
the scene of the accident said the
windows of Post’s car were cover
ed with frost and vision was not
clear.
No Injuries
No one received any apparent
injuries. However, Post reported
to the Infirmary for x-rays.
Officials investigating the ac
cident discovered that the Post
car was registered under the name
of Olga. Kosarowich, senior in
business administration.
Patrolmen believe that since
Post lives in an area too close
on-campus to allow a parking per
mit, he registered the car with an
eighth semester woman student
who are permitted campus park
ing permits.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Cabinet Told Plan
For Longer Yule
I All-Universtiy Cabinet was told last night there is a
possibility this year's Christmas vacation mat- be extended
one day, from Jan. 2 to Jan. 3.
| Cabinet also declined to give a scholarship to a foreign
student leader and passed on second reading the amendment
which would abolish the Supreme Court, 14-9. One member _
was absent from the voting.
At the Oct. 18 Cabinet meet
ing, a motion was made to extend
!the Christmas vacation three
days. Now scheduled for Dec. _3
to Jan. 2, the motion asked to
set the dates from Dec. 20 to
Jan. 3.
Lack of shopping time, too
much student travel during New
Year’s Eve, and lack of time to
get vacation jobs were given as
reasons for extending the vaca
tion.
The proposal was given to Cab
inet’s executive committee who
in turn referred it to the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs.
The committee discussed the idea
at its meeting yesterday and
4sked Cabinet to take it to the
-Calendar Committee.
■ Cabinet members were told the
Calendar Committee would refer
to it to the Senate meeting Nov. 1.
One Vote' Gained
On the Supreme Court, Cabi
net members saw proponents of
the amendment to abolish the
court gained one. vote more than
last week when the amendment
was passed 13-11.
- Barbara Nicholls, Panhellenic
Council president, switched her
vote. Two more changes are need
ed before the amendment can be
passed next week. A two-thirds
majority is needed to pass a con
stitutional amendment.
If, at the showdown meeting,
the amendment is passed, it will
be added as a revision to the
constitution. Should Cabinet de
feat the proposal, a substitute
motion, favoring an altered Su
preme Court will be placed on
the floor.
A vote on the foreign student!
leader scholarship never reached
the floor. Proposed two weeks
ago by Barbara Hendel in con-]
junction with a National Student:
Association program, the idea wasj
turned down by Cabinet when]
no member would move that
Cabinet award such a scholar
ship.
The purpose of the program,
Miss Hendel said, is to exchange
: ideas with a foreign student lead
[er by working with him in ac
tivities and University govem-
Iment.
Adlai Criticizes
Farm Program
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 25 VP)
—Adlai E. Stevenson contended
tonight that President Dwight D
Eisenhower has broken the prom
ises he made to the farmer to win
their vote in 1952.
Stevenson said that Eisenhower
had told the farmers they would
have their prices supported at 90
per cent of parity.
“D i d President Eisenhower
keep those promises?” Stevenson
asked.
“He did not!”
And at one point he said:
“Mr. Eisenhower is, I am sure,
a well-meaning man. But indif
ference and ignorance can be as
damaging as ill will.”
While he was at it, Stevenson
didn’t spare any of the Republi
cans’ big horses.
