MR A BETTER PENN STATE Tottrgiatt Rule; at Ball Students Face More Wind, Cold Today While students are bracing for more cold, windy weather, resi dents of the State College area are digging out from snow drifts that piled up over the weekend from 15-mile-an-hour winds. Drifts were as high as -eight feet in Centre 0 • B •he situation was not as bad near the campus, as many of the walks were being clean- ed by hard-work ing little elves (some known as pledges). The University weather station reported gusts of up to 30 miles an hour together iwith zero and sub-zero tempera tures. More of the same is pre 'dieted for today. The low official .temperature reported for State tCollege was 2 below. Some sutdents were amazed }yesterday when they saw two small furry objects moving on ;top of the snow near campus. 'Further investigation, however, ;showed it was just the Nittany ; Lion's ears—the only part of him showing above the drifted snow. . Warm • weather is expected to move in later today. A high of 20 to 25 degrees is predicted.

New Party Beats lion' Candidates; Vote Is Contested A move by groups associated with Lion Party to take over leadership of_ the new University Party was beaten down by a narrow 14-vote majority at the new party's first mass meeting Sunday night. John D'Angelo, an organizer of the University Patty who presided at the stormy meet ing, was elected party chairman by an 83-69 vote over Arthur Pfautz, junior in business admin istration from Lancaster and 1955-56 freshman class vice pms ident But Pfauts said laid night he will protest the election. The All-University Elections Com mittee will hear the appeal to ' morrow night. "It's not a . grudge by any means,' Pfauts said, "but a matter of technical points which were let go in the whirl of what appeared to be disorganization. - One of the four offices filled —executive secretary—was won by D'Angelo's opponents, most of whom were named by a D'Angelo backer as members of four social fraternities associated with Lion Party—Delta Upsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Kappa Phi and Theta Chi. William O'Neill. Lion Party clique chairman, is a mem ber of Delta Upsilon. He did not attend the meeting. But Donald Nair, temporary vice chairman of University Party and a member of Theta Kappa Phi, last night said he ad vised his delegation to vote for candidates of the D'Angelo fac tion. O'Neill said last night that his fraternity "was not up there as a group." Members of Theta Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta were con sidered to have supported D'An gelo's position. • The fireworks began to ex plode as soon as Pfau': was nominated, a few minutes after the meeting began at 8:30 p.m. Edward Frymoyer. temporary University Party parliamentar ian, immediately objected to the nomination, claiming Pfautz's status as a residence hall counselor does not permit him to engage in politics. Elections Committee Chairman Peter Fishburn said he could not rule immediately on the point; but would hold a revote or award the vote to the runnerup if Pfautz won and was later declared ineligible. Fishburn then ordered the room cleared and all persons registered 'and given ballots as they entered. 'ln explaining the Elections Code, he said no person may belong to two parties at one time, but regii lar party memberships have lapsed since the fall elections. But he warned that if a large number of persons who registered failed (Continued on page eight) By 808 FRANKLN Collegian City Editor Editorial on Page 4 Insurance Enrollment Time Reset The number of students en rolled in the voluntary insurance program now totals more than 2300. and the enrollment dead line has been changed from Feb. 9 to Feb. 23 to comply with stu dents' recitiests.
