The board dec! led that such a
plan would be njhre fair to both
students and professors. If no’
blue books were given during
Spring Week, students would not
be taking tests without preparing
for them adequately, the council
felt.
“We realize that we’re here for
an education and not for Spring
Week activities,” Donald Patter
son, ICCB president, said. “But
it’s a generally accepted fact that
studying is cut to a minimum that
week. Grades given then aren’t
a fair indication of what a stu
dent knows.”
- The board authorized each
council, president to present the
plan to the dean of his college.
However, no president will be
compelled to do this if he opposes
the plan. At the time of the board
meeting, no president flatly re
fused to submit the plan for fac
ulty consideration.
Requests will be made soon,
Patterson said, before ■ depart
ments make up course schedules
for the spring semester.

Six-Point Favorites Over Mountaineers

tie wins were scored over Rich

Mary.
In the long series between the!
Lions and Mountaineers the Lions;
hold a 14-7 edge, although losing
the last three games to the boys
from Morgantown.
Lion-West Virginia games have
been traditionally thrillers and
today’s contest will not be dif
ferent. Both teams pack potent
offenses and strong defensive
lines. In their four games the
Lions have scored 91 points while
holding the opposition to 20. West
Virginia has tallied 90 points but
has allowed 66 points. j
The Lions’ well-balanced of
fense will be spearheaded by
quarterback Milt Plum, who Ohio
State Coach Woody Hayes called
“the best quarterback I’ve seen
around in sometime.”
The Lions’ defensive unit is
headed by captain Sam Valentine,
whose amazing performances at
the guard position have drawn
raves all-over the East. Both Val
entine and' Plum were named to
the All-East team this week for
their outstanding play against the
Buckeyes.
The Mountaineers -run behind
the flashy Mickey Trimarki at
quarterback, who is regarded as a
top-notch passer and ball handler.
The line has tackle Bill Under
donk as its sparkplug, backed up
by Chuck Howley at center.
Underdonk is rated by coach
Art Lewis as being better than
Bruce Bosley and Sam Huff, both
of whoih were mentioned on many
All-America' teams last year.

Educator Says College Aura
Promotes Student Instability
Colleges- contribute to student’s mental instability by
providing an atmosphere in which traditional beliefs are
questioned but are never put in their place, an educator
believes.
Dr. William S. Carlson, president of the State University
of New York, believes "the very
atmosphere of the university tends
to corrode the average student’s
traditional moral and religious
beliefs” and that little is being
done about this new disturbing
element m his life, according to
the New York Times
Colleges Termed Unhelpful
“To the extent that colleges
take no steps to fill the vacuum
of belief which they create, he
said, they are contributing to the
sum total of mental instability.”
Carlson said schools do inten
tionally create an atmosphere “un
conductive to religious growth.”

“The universities have not gone
out of their way either to praise
or condemn religion; they simply
have—for the most part—ignored
it altogether,” he said.

site.
The vegetable plots will be
available until the Thanksgiving
vacation to students who cannot
find other parking facilities be
fore the borough’s 2 to 6 a.m.
parking ban goes into effect
iThursday in the fraternity area,
according to Walter H. Wiegantl,
director of the physical plant.
| However, Wiegand said, stu
j dents must move their cars from
I the gardens by 10 a.m. Nov. 10
and Nov. 17 so that parking will
be available for visitors to the
Boston University and North Car
olina State football games.
Students to Report
Students must report to the
Campus Patrol office to apply -or
a special permit for the area witli
jin two days after they have
moved their cars to the plots.
Each student applying for a
'permit will fill out a question
naire, copies of which will be
(sent to the borough and to either
| the Interfraternity Council or the
] Association of Independent Men
|in an effort to locate downtown
parking for the student.
Plan Excludes Lots
>iU : 1 f n
Wiegand said the emergency
parking area does not include es
tablished parking lots 72 and 73,
but that students may enter the
gardens through lot 72. Spaces in
lots 72 and 73 are assigned for
I regular campus parking, he said.
j Men's dormitories will be con
structed on the emergency park
ing site in the near future, Wie
gar.d said. The plots have been
rolled, but are not paved, and
they are expected to become mud
]dy in wet weather, according to
the University.
Ban Begins
The borough’s overnight park
ing ban will g o into effect Thurs
day in the area between Allen
street, Beaver avenue. High
(street, and Irvin avenue.
The ban is now in effect
throughout most of the remainder
of the borough, but enforcement
was postponed in the fraternity
area to give students a chance to
! find off-street parking facilities.
Students to Gain
[Hour of Sleep
Students will receive what will
probably be a much-needed extra
hour of sleep this weekend as Uni
versity Park and State College re
vert to Eastern Standard Time.
Standard time will go into effect
at 2 a.m. tomorrow when clocks
will be turned back one hour.
Much confusion has resulted in
the past month because many sur
rounding communities, including
Bellefonte, returned to Standard
Time on Sept. 30.
Local clergymen tomorrow can
expect to have a number of early
arrivals for church services due
to those who will probably forget
to change their clocks to Stand
ard Time.
Pictures Due Monday
For Mardi Gras King
| Candidates for Mardi Gras king
must submit their ■pictures no
later than 5 p.m. Monday to the
Hetzel Union desk.
Pictures must be 5 by 7 inches
and should include the name of
