Egypt has been staging military
maneuvers in the Sinai Desert.
Its strength there is not known.
A high Israeli government
source said the operation was de
signed to wipe out Egyptian com
mando nests in Sinai.
Forces Stand Pat
The Israeli forces were remain
ing in the area, not withdrawing
as in reprisal raids.
An Egyptian army communique
said frontier forces reported the
Israeli forces last night reached

the road junction of El Kuntilla,
four miles inside Egypt.
The communique made no men
tion of deeper penetrations re
ported by Israeli sources.
An Israeli spokesman said “I
just don’t know” when asked if
the operation was aimed at the
Suez Canal.
The unofficial reports would in
dicate that the Israelis were dash
ing across the desert peninsula
straight for the international
waterway.
Fighting on 'Strip'
Fighting flared up along Egypt’s
Gaza strip, about 80 miles north
of where the northernmost of two
Israeli prongs crossed into Egypt.
Egypt said Israeli artillery
opened fire on the Gaza strip.
Israeli quarters said Egyptian
forces attacked an Israeli patrol
with small arms and mortars, but
there were no casualties.
A high Israeli government
source commenting on the thrust
into the Sinai Desert said: “It’s
too big for a reprisal and too
small for a war.”
He said the main object of ihe
operation is to wipe out .com
mando bases in the_ Sinai Penin
sula. The commandos have been
operating recently like ordinary
Egyptian military units, he said.
No Air Force Used
Unofficially, high government
sources said that the operation is
not a reprisal like recent actions
against Jordan and not war, as no
air force is being used.
The same sources said Israeli
forces operating in the Sinai Pen
insula are not withdrawing as re
prisal raiders have done after
raiding.
As fears rose that war might be
near in the explosive Middle East,
there were these rapid fire devel
opments around the world.

Lions Emergin

The Lion football team is
speedily emerging as the
“Cinderella’’ team of the East:
A pre-season pick to gain
nothing but mediocrity in
big-time football circles, the
Lions have suddenly blos
somed out as one of the top
teams in the nation after their
16-6 win over West Virginia Satur
day.
Following their rousing 7-6 up
set of Ohio State most fans and
predictors expected the Nittanies
to have a letdown, but for the
second consecutive week they
fooled almost everyone.
The Lions did not display the
sharpness and defensive play as
against Ohio State, but they were
good enough to beat a big and
strong Mountie team.
West Virginia Coach Art Lewis
said after the game: “This is the
best Penn State team I’ve faced in
my. seven years at West Virginia.
It’s a team that makes its own
breaks, then hurts you with
them.”
Lion Coach Rip Engle said that
his boys were tired. “I don’t see
how they can get up like'this five
weeks in a row,” Engle said,

took the opposite road and elected a full

2 Students
Saved by
Safety Belts
Two safety belts apparently
saved the lives of two students*
when their car was struck head-!
on by a skidding auto Friday I
night on Route 45, its miles west
of Hartleton between Mifflinburgi
and State College. j
The two students, Thomas
Mears, senior in \Vood utilization
from Cranford, N.J., and Paul
Cuppett, sophomore in business
administration from Johnstown,
were traveling east on Route 45
at the time of the- accident.
Another car, driven by Paul
Aronin, regional adviser for Al
pha Epsilon Pi fraternity, going
west, lost control and collided into
the front end of Cuppett’s car.
Weather conditions were poor
at the time of the accident, police
said.
Both Cars Were Demolished
All three were admitted to Lew
isburg Evangelical Hospital. Cup
pett and Mears were seriously in
jured and Aronin was treated for
laceration of the knee and fore
head and bruises of the chest.
- Mears and Cuppett were pre
vented from more serious injuries
when the safety belts, which they
were both wearing, held them
from-being thrown from the car.
Cuppett, driver of the car. suf
fered a broken chest bone and
will be confined to the hospital
for several weeks.
Mears Injured

mation.
At the some time, Byron LaVan,
clique chairman, announced the
party would sponsor a referen
dum favoring retention of the
Supreme Court.
Elected in the runoff wore
George Smith, freshman class
presidential candidate, and Gail
Schultz, freshman class secretar
ial candidate. John P. Arnold de
jfeated Kenneth Roberts on the
[first ballot in the freshman vice
presidential race.
j Smith was opposed by Eman
uel Gregory, Robert Macracken,
! and Vincent Marino. Miss Schultz
Iran against Phyllis Anderson and
Nancy Kress.
Sophomore Candidates
Lion party sophomore class
candidates, who were elected un
opposed, are John R. Sopko, pres
ident; Charles Welsh, vice presi
dent; and Elinor Wessel, secre
tary.
Taking it for granted that All-
University Cabinet will vote to
abolish the Supreme Court Thurs
day night, LaVan told party
members Sunday he feels there
is a definite need for a three
branch student government. Abol
ishment of the court would leave
legislative, judicial, and execu
tive powers in the hands of one
body: Cabinet.
Court Vole
Since it looks as if Cabinet will
vote to abolish the court, he said,
the Lion party, in conjunction
with its platform plank backing
court retention, will definitely
sponsor the referendum.
Cabinet voted 14-9 to abolish
the court last Thursday on the
second of three necessary votes.
Previously, court abolishment
had been favored 13-11 on the
first vote.
Two more Cabinet members
must change their votes . before
the 16-vote two-thirds majority
needed to abolish the court is
reached. The third and final vote
is scheduled for Thursday night.
Reasons for Abolishment
Proponents of the abolishment
move claim the court is not need
ed, is not well-versed on campus
affairs, and does not meet often
enough to warrant it’s retention.
The court met two times last
year.
Cabinet members favoring re
tention of the court compare it
to an insurance policy: Nice to
have and not need, rather than
to need it and not have it. In ad
dition, these members claim, stu
dent government needs a judicial
brant h.
LaVan told party members all
men’s and women’s dormitories
would be canvassed for signa
tures for the referendum.
