One would think that head foot
ball Coach Rip Engle would be a
very happy gent after Penn
Skate's .43-0 thrashing , of Penn
Saturday., But he's not.
It's not that he didn't enjoy
seeing his boys bounce back af
ter the 14-7 upset by Nebraska
last week—far from it. But the
overpowering victory cost him and
the ' Lions their most valuable
piece of grid property—fullback
Pat Botula
Botula, who led the' Nittany
runners in rushing for the sec
' and straight weekend, will be
out of action for at least three
weeks because,of a painful el
'bow injury suffered early in
the second quarter of Satur
day's Risco. 1
"I really feel terrible - about
Botula's injury," Engle said yes
terday afternoon. "He's the best
fullback in the East. It's a crime
to be eliminated (from action) for
several weeks in the manner in
which he waS."
The manner of Botula's injury
was a crime indeed, In -fact, if
Penn's three-year veteran tackle
Dennis Troychack would have had
any manners, Botula would still
c i
be in the lin up today.

plied the blo k that sent Botula

During the study hours of
7 p.m. to 7 a.m., no fraternity man
will be allowed in the dormitories
for any purpose, Ronald Siders,
Chairman of the IFC Board of
Control, said in announcing the
agreement.
At last week's IFC meeting,
the Board of Control ruled the
dormitories off-limits for frat
ernity men for any reason oth.
arlhan to visit members of the
immediate family. Yesterday's
ruling partially eliminates the
ban.
Siders said the ruling will
mean fraternity members may
enter the dormitories for "any
purpose" during the stated hours.
In other words, fraternity rush
ing on ,an individual basis will
be , legal under the, IFC deferred
rushing. program. Fra te rnity
mothers may also visit upper
classmen during the daylight
hours and use the residence halls'
facilities, Skiers said.
Fraternity_ members still may
not supply or provide freshmen
with anything of monetary
value nor may they rush as a
'group. The number composing a
"group" has not been defined
by the Board of Control, Siders •
said.
The agreement which partially
lifted the ban was made at al
meeting"attended by Edward Fry-,
moyer, AIM president; Edward,
Hintz, IFC president;
Crafts, assistant to the dean of
'men in charge of independent af
fairs; Dean 0. Edward Pollock;
residence hall's counselors; and
Skiers.
"The residence halls counselors
will assume the added responsi
bility of policing the dormitories
during the night and reporting
infractions," Siders said.
No exceptions will be made
to permit fraternity members
to enter the dormitories from
7 p.m. to 9 a.m., Siders said. It
will mean the end to campus

Toiltgiatt
d for word in a quiet proceed
ing, while in Little Rock the lease
plan blessed by Gov. Orval E.
Faubus was being put into being.
Warren didn't name Faubus or
any other state official, and he
didn't define what was meant by
evasive tactics. But the opinion
did assert:
"The constitutional rights of
children not to be discriminated
against in school admission on
grounds of race or color . . .
can neither be nullified openly
and directly by state legislators
or state executive or judicial
officers, nor nullified indirect
ly by them through evasive
schemes for segregation wheth
er attenmpted ingeniously or in
genuously . . . states can not
support segregated schools
through any arrangement, man
agement, funds, or property
cannot be equated with the
14th amendment's command
that no state shall deny to any
person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the
laws."
Arkansas is one of several
Southern states which are trying
by one means or another to keep
Negro and white pupils separate,
regardless of whb.t the Supreme
Court says.
On the surface, yesterday's
opinion ruled out every form of
resistance—direct and indirect—
but no one believed that Gov.
Faubus and others of like mind
had any intention of giving up.
The opinion was unanimous,
as have been all of those since
the court first ruled in 1954
that forced segregation is un
constitutional. The opinion
stressed the thesis that the 1954
opinion "is the supreme law of
the land."
Yesterday's special session was
attended by all the nine members
except Justice William 0. Doug
las.
Yesterday's session was called
to deliver an opinion supporting
the court's Sept. 12 decision call
ing for integration to proceed
immediately at Little Rock's Cen
tral High School. It has not pro
ceeded, however, because of re
sistance by state authorities.
There was some expectation in
advance that the court would say
in some detail what it meant
three years ago when it said pub
lic school segregation on account
of race would have to be ended
"with all deliberate speed."
