According to Land, IFC con ducted a survey of the parking facilities and the demand for those facilities, in an effort to relieve the present parking prob lem. Ban Causes Hardship The survey indicated that the parking ban has caused much hardship among members of fra ternities, townspeople, and inde pendent men, he said. It specifical ly showed that- there are approxi mately 170 fraternity men with no space for their cars and that the problem was as great among some independent men who also have no means by which to ex pand.their facilities, or accommo date their cars. After referring the petition back to the Borough Traffic Com mission, the council heard a sug gestion from Earl McCord, a mem ber of the commission. Commission to Hold Meeting McCord suggested that the com mission hold an open meeting and advertise a public invitation for anyone and everyone to come in an air the• problem before the Borough Engineer, Chief of Police, and the commission. It was then suggested by mem bers of "the council that the Bor ough should be lenient in ad ministering fines for violators of the ban until some final settle ment be made. David R. Mackey, State College burgess, said parking permits would be issued for hardship cases. Must Have Tag Numbers It was suggested that in the case of fraternities where many such cases may prevail, that one member represent the entire body of other members in the house. However, the representative should have the auto license num ber of each car in order to fulfill Borough requirements. The council heard several opin ions from Charles Schlow, a resi dent of the borough. Schlow said he was speaking in behalf of all the students who he said are suffering a hardship due to the enforcement of a law that has been on the books for years. Schlow said: "I feel that some one should speak up for the stu dents . . . after all, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here."

Subject to intense criticism by many newspapers and fans for pulling a "blunder" which cost the Lions a possible victory. Engle was proven correct by the movies of the game, which showed clearly that quarterback Milt Plum did start the fourth quarter and was a legal substitute when Engle sent him into the game with 1:49 min utes remaining. Whether this Would have -had any bearing on the outcome of the contest will be the subject of many arguments for weeks to come, but the fact is that the Lions would definitely have been able to run off ,a minimum of four plays plus the possibility that the Syracuse punt might have been blocked, or a punt return (Continued. on page eight) Tickets „4 -ts. 9T4 4 . r I at ~..:...4 . .,,,i , .4 . :.,, Ili ..,, ' :-.1,8 SA . I:'''' c STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 6. 1956 By FRAN FANUCCI FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Students Back Eisenhower As Nation Goes to Polls University students, in a Daily Collegian straw vote, favored the re-election of Presi dant Dwight D. Eisenhower to a second term as the nation goes to the polls today. Eisenhower with 130 votes easily won re-election over his Democratic opponent, Adlai E. Stevenson, who received 59 votes. • • 9 • • \ . S . • • " II • ," ' ' ` • Nuclear Issue Splits Views of Physicists Several University physicists interviewed by The Daily' Collegian yesterday claim that the Eisenhower-Stevensoni controversy over the continuation of nuclear tests is not necessarily a primary issue of the political campaign and ! will, not be a decisive factor in their vote. - The consensus of professors, I 1 gradnate students, and students I interviewed is an even split over the issue. However, the majority ' indicated democratic support for the election. Democratic candidate Adlai E. Stevenson advocates that the Uni ted States take the initiative in seeking a world agreement to halt nuclear tests. Menace to Peace He contends that the United) States and Russia cannot continue exploding nuclear bombs at will. for they are a .menace to world peace and to man's health. Stevenson says the present H bombs are now powerful enough to wipe out whole cities and that it is useless to continue to build bigger and bigger bombs. Instead, he says, the United States should I work for curbing the further de velopment of this "menace." Most of the physicists agreed 'that their opinions were the re sult of political and military rea-' sons rather than scientific judg- I ments. Ike Favors Continuation President Eisenhower believes , the United States must continue its nuclear testing to remain ahead of Russia. - He says, in essence, that power ful bombs are a deterrent to war, and that present evidence shows that there is no alarming effect of testing on man's health. Many nuclear scientists have sided with both candidates on this lissue. Farren H. Smith, graduate tl.l - in physics, believes the tests should be continued because "the real danger is not controlled tests (Continued on page eleven) British, French Said Holding Key to Suez LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 6 M —British and French parachute troops today were reported hold ing the Mediterranean key to the Suez Canal at Port Said. They seized the canal's north ern terminal three hours after leaping into Egypt from bases on Cyprus, 250 miles away : Keep Order Egyptian police were reported keeping order under Allied com mand at Port Said and the French Oriental style city was under cur few.

Tummer, candidate of the "Apathy Party," received 21 write-in votes. anct a write-in vote was cast for Hoopes-Friedman on the Socialist ticket. The poll was conducted by The Daily Collegian by means of bal lots printed in the Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday editions of the paper. The deadline for "voting" was noon yesterday. Students were encouraged to express their comments on se lections in space provided on the "ballots." More Stevenson Comments In proportion to the number of votes cast for berth candidates, mo7e comments were received from Stevenson voters than from Eisenhower Of the 93 students who sub mitted comments with their "bal lots," 55 commented for Eisen hower, 33 for Stevenson, and six pushing C. V. Tummer. More than half of the Steven son voters submitted comments while less than half of the Eisen-- , hower voters did so. - Comments Varied Comments for Eisenhower and Stevenson ranged from the "sub lime to the ridiculous," but the majority of them reflected some serious thought on the part of University students. The - consensus of the Republi can voters was that Eisenhower and Nixon are best-qualified for the offices and that America needs Ike. The most frequent argument for the retention of the Eisen hower-Nixon combination was, "Why change now? We've had peace. prosperity, and improve ment in foreign conditions." "A man is needed who carries world prestigt. and who works for p e a c e and prosperity all the time," were recurring comments in favor of the Republican team. "The Eisenhower -Nixon team has kept the nation at peace and will continue to do so in the fu ture." Democrats Criticized Other Republican voters did not dwell on the advantages of their own party, but criticized the Democratic candidates. "How could a man like Steven son possibly keep our country to gether when his own family is di vided," was an example of this type of comment. Along the same lines was this: "I am an agriculture student, farmer, and ex-G.I. I will not vote for Stevenson who doesn't get along with his wife. Steven son says he will raise farm prices. How? No doubt, by war, a prior Democratic policy." Students who criticized Steven son said "all he can offer is Harry S. Truman's and FDR's abuse of the federal government." "Eisenhower's proven ability as a president makes him a better.
