i•m Monday un-
before the council by Inter
fraternity Council Pr es id en t
Daniel Land.
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."

correct on one of the most
controversial decisions in modern
Lion football history.
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

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.

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

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.
There was. some confusion, how
ever, as to whether all resistance
in Port Said had stopped.
At 11 p.m. Monday Allied head
quarters in Cyprus announced in
its communique No. 24:
Surrender Terms Agreed
The terms of the surrender of
the Egyptian garrison of Port
Said have been agreed. Egyptian
troops have laid down their
arms." A few minutes later, in
addition to the communique re
ported:
"The surrender terms were re
fused."
A Cyprus headquarters spokes
man said he did not know who
made the refusal.

By ANNE FRIEDBERG
C. V. 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.
