No. 71 Political Party ers Constitution 4t Of By DAVE FINEMAN there were two, Sunday three and now there are four—political parties on Saturday campus, that i A fourth •olitical party—the Blue and White party—came on the scene yesterday when if submitted its application to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs through the dean of men's office. If its application and the proved on Thursday, there will be four parties running candidates in the spring elections this year. Blue and White party chairman Vernon Bounds said his party will create something which is ab sent in politics—student interest. It will do this,, he predicted. through "more people working" for the party. "Every dormitory and fraternity house," he said, will have a Blue and White party representative. Besides this, heusaid, the °new ness" of the party will 'create a "lot of student interest." This "newness," he said, also would be an "attracitve incen tive" to offer good student lead ers to get them to run on the Blue and White' ticket. - : Bounds said he favors a three or four-party system. However. he- said he didn't expect. there Would be more than three parties after a while, since, he said, the Lion party probably would soon disappear. The Lion . party, he said, "seems to have lost a lot of face." • William O'Neill, clique chair man of Lion party, called Bounds accusations "in poor taste," which, he said,. is "exceeded only by his abysmal ignorance of the political situation." . In view of Bounds' "inexper ience—he's only a freshman, '* 0- Neill -"his remarks should not be taken too seriously." John D'Angelo, chairman of The University party, also said he thought Lion "party was on its way out. To such statements, O'Neill an swered: "A' lot of it's up to me, and as long as I'm Lion party clique ehairman;it's here to stay." • O'Neill called D'Angelo "noth ing but a malcontent ' who left the Lion party. , Here's how the chairmen of the two new parties stack up on two issues of the day: eßgiation: - - • .

The tree, a Norway maple, is believed to be 70 to 80 years old. Tree surgeon Donald Coble (left) of Houserville said the tree had been filled with concrete sometime in the 1920's when it first started to rot. However, the tree continued to rot and was also crowding other smaller trees in front of Old Main. Helping saw the maple is Walter Bean of Philipsburg. University Among 135 Aided By DuPont Education Plan The University is among 135 universities and colleges benefitting from the annual program of - aid to education sponsored by the Du Pont Company. The University was named yes terday as one of 39 institutions receiving a grant for a postgrad uate assistantship in chemistry. The recipient is given $2400 with an additional allowance of $6OO if he has children. The University also has been awarded a $l5OO summer research grant to provide a younger staff The Nittany Lion has decided ,to be thankful for the returning Ichilly temperatures on campus . • • ' •' • • • , He reminded students th a I Soviet Russia Will Withdraw today. 1 f t. i i e n i aA y b o e n g e i n w e o e f k - ) 'from today and .4 t ?advised them to 58,000 in H ungo ry, E.

Carries Man MOSCOW, Jan. 6 (T)—Soviet Russia has shot a man- carrying rocket 186 miles into the air and the man parachuted back to earth, reliable sources said tonight. If true, it may be an even more dramatic scientific achieve ment than the launchings of Sputnik I and the dog carrying Sputnik II last fall. But there was no official an nouncement whatever conceraing this venture. It was reported to have taken place a day or two after New Year's. The official silence —in view of the rumors sweeping Moscow —lead to some speculation that all did not go as it should, that the manned rocket experiment may not have been a total suc cess. Difficulties, including a b r u p t; temperature changes, are many But the informants' story was that the Russians fired the man-I ned rocket up 300 kilometers--; 186,41 miles--from wintry Soviet; soil through the 70-below-zero , cold of the stratosphere and well into the blistering heat of the ion osphere, a vast ocean of electri-, city whose reflecting layers I bounce radio waves back to earth. They did not specify whether the parachutist went all the way up and it was not made clear how he succeeded in getting down. Months ago, however. Russian scientists sent up dogs to a lesser height. The dogs were released 'and parachuted to safety, appar- ently unharmed. It was a dog from this experimental kennel, female named Laika, that was sent to her ultimate death in Sputnik 11. Observers speculated that the ;rocket man was released from the !rocket in a pressurized container 'equipped so he could survive at ( great altitudes and break free ut to jump with his 'chute at tha right stage. If he went all the way up. he soared nearly eight times high er than any one else had ever gone. The American and world altitude record is 126.000 feet. nearly 24 railer.. It was set in September, 1956. by U.S. Air ' Force Maj. Ivan Kincheloe in the X 2 experimental plane. successor to that plane, the Xl5. has bee n described by Secretary of the Air Force Douglas as a "step toward a manned satellite." . , -4, . Rumors about a rocket experi ment with a human being began j circulating here about a week ago. Russian scientists have said! for months they hoped to launch a manned satellite some time in j the future to start human explo ration of space. But they said they would not risk a human life; until preliminary experiments' were out of the way. The manned rocket venture, if : true, presumably was one of those; ,experiments. This rocket was not' in the satellite class. It never came close to the height necessary; to start circling the earth. Hospital Has Abundance Of Vaccines An unlimited supply of polio and flu shot.* are available to stu dents. according to Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director of the Health Service. Glenn said if students get their first polio shot now, they can get their last shot in August or September, the .period in which polio cases are most prevalent in many localities. There is a four- to six-week interval between the first and second polio shots and a seven month interval between the sec ond and third shots. Students also have be en urged to get flu shots now. Pub lic health officials have predict ed that Asiatic flu will hit this area the hardest from January through March. Glenn said there are some stu dents in the infirmary now with respiratory illnesses, but he sees nothing unusual at the moment. The Asiatic flu vaccine was at a premium last fall when a state wide epidemic was indicated. Hundreds of students waited in line at the health service for shots. Glenn has said most students will have no reaction from the shots except for a slight redness and soreness at the site of the in jection. But some others, he said, may have a "grippe-like response" with some fever, headache and general malaise lasting 24 to 48 hours. Students who have had one flu shot are urged to have an other in anticipation of the pre dicted flue cases. Except for the vaccine, which is 70 per cent effective, there is no other effective treatment or cure for the Asiatic fna. Anti biotics are of no help and once contracted, rest and nursing care are needed to fight the virus. Symptoms are a sore throat, marked perspiration, fever, body aches and extreme prostration which last four or five days, fol lowed by four or five days of con valescence. 40-M ile Winds, Cold Predicted Minister to Discuss Sex The Rev. James L Spangenberg, associate campus pastor of the University Baptist Church, will talk on sex to members of the Hamilton Christian Association at 7 tonight in the Hamilton Hall lounge.
