STATE COLLEGE. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 18. 1958 FIVE CENTS VOL. 58. No. 87 Univ-rsity Party Reins Retained by D'Angelo After last week's misdeal, the University party cards were reshiffied and dealt over Sunday night with party chairman John D'Angelo taking almost all the pots. Two ballots were needed to unravel the three-way tangle for party chairman, since no majority was re• ched on the first. The vote was split 163 for D'Angelo, 132 for Robert S. Johnson and 51 f l u Glorio Patsy. After the firt ballot proved inconclusive, Patsy withdrew. Before the second ballot was taken, about 65 persons left the meeting and D'Angelo won over Johnson, 161 to 121. 'The out-in-the-open attempt by members of an outside group—most of ahem from Lion party—to take over University party attracted an unprecedent ed f ull house in 10 Sparks. Nearly 350 persons registered as party members. Some of the comments and out cries before the meeting started foretold of the disorder to come. One official of University party shouted to a friend, "Lion party never had a meeting as packed full as this." A female voice re plied from the anohymous crowd: "Who's party do you think this is?" One coed member of Lion party, who pleaded to have her name withheld, was asked if there were many Lion members there. "I hope so!" was her reply. "Do you think they plan to take over the new party?" she was then asked. "I would think it sort of looked That way," she said defiantly. The other all-party officers elected were: Vice-chairman, Charles Welsh over Bernard Brown, 183 to 161; corresponding seer e tarp, Barbara Facinelli over Grietje Flickinger. 179 to 153; and ex ecutive secretary. Patricia Nied bala. unopposed. Nominees were cheered, booed, even mocked, as the meeting mounted to a pitch which was at times akin to a football crowd, or just plain bedlam. The two factions fighting for control were easily spotted through the voice and hand votes taken on the class party officers and procedural matters. A bevy of arms would rise and .fall in the center section of the room back to about the three-fourths line, followed by a rise and fall of arms in the rear and down both sides. Alluding to the coup attempt. D'Angelo prefaced the meeting with a warning against any clique trying to control the party. The constitution. he said. is designed to prevent cliques. "We will have small cliques— or the constitution," he said, "and the University Senate will decide this." As it became evident that the attempt of the Lion members to register in and take over the Uni- (Continued on page eight) Festival Quartet Will Present Sunday Concert The Festival Quartet, composed of four instrumental artists who are colleagues at the Aspen Fes tival, Will present the 11th pro gram of the Artists' Series at 8:30 p.m. Sunday in Schwab Audi torium.
