TOP UGLY MAN on campus, Donald Curry of Alpha Tau Omega,

Phi Omega service fraternity at last night’s Ugly Man finals.
Ugly Man Honors

The Indolent Princess kissed the mossy-green King Toad

Donald Curry, sponsored by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity
and Chi Omega sorority, was awarded the Ugly Man key and
the Grand Champion Ugly Man Trophy last night in the
Hetzel Union ballroom as his
prize for being voted the “ugliest
man on campus.”
The theme of the prizewin
ners' skit was a radio program
called "The Shirley Pimple
Story Book." It involved the
Indolent Prinoess. Rawson
Coats, who lost her golden ball
down the "mossy well."
If was returned by King Toad
fish and his eight minor Toad
fis h, inhabitants of the well.
When the Princess kissed him to
show her appreciation, he left her
covered with warts.
But she and her court were so
enraptured by them they leaped
into the well with the Toadfish
to “make more warts.”

Five Charged
With Blasting
Atlanta Temple
ATLANTA (fP) Five men
were charged yesterday with
the bombing of Atlanta’s Jew
ish Temple under a law that
could bring death sentences.
The five, four of whom round
ed up by police and a large force
of FBI agents, were indicted by a
grand jury just five days after
the Sunday dynamiting of the
Temple. They were charged with
destroying a house of worship.
The four in custody denied
the charges against them dur
ing an interview at the. Fulton
County jaiL This was the first
time newsmen had been per
mitted to speak with them since
their arrest earlier this week.
James Venable, one of the .de
fense attorneys, told the court
jthat Police Chief Herbert Jenkins
l“has deliberately sworn a false
hood” in saying the men were
being held for bombing a build
ing.
Venable said they were held
under charges of suspicion of va
grancy. He told the jurist he
should "incarcerate” the police
chief and bring charges against
the prosecutor.
Before the grand jury acted,
police announced they had
learned the identity of a man
who has been financing anti-
Semitic activity in the South.
The man was referred to as a
"fat cal" in a letter police said
they fund in the home of Allen,
one of the five under indict
ment. Police did not disclose
his name.
During the investigation here
the FBI and police found large
quantities of anti-Semitic litera
ture in searching houses for evi
ence that might aid in solving
the Temple dynamiting. i
Cabinet
Housing
All-University Cabinet has recommended the University
reduce the number of students placed in temporary housing
at the start of each fall semester.
Cabinet approved an amended recommendation fiom a
Student Encampment report which stated:
"Because of its adverse effect !
upon student health and aca- j
demic achievement, we recom- j
mend that the Yjniversily re- i
evaluate its policy of admitting ’
more students than there is
room for, with a view towards
decreasing the number,"
Tlie recommendation was a part
of an Academic Atmosphere and
Culture Workshop report by
Louis Phillips which was adopt-!
ed by Cabinet Thursday.
The ' recommendation arose
from a University policy to allow 7
for early dropouts by enrolling
more students than the residence
hall capacity. The extra students
are placed in study lounges, rec
reation rooms and the health cen
ter until permanent housing is
available.
In other business, Charles
Welsh, senior class president,
reported that a poll is being
taken among sportswriters and
colleges and universities on the
question of play-by-play an
nouncing of the football games
over the public address system.
Upon Cabinet recommendation
last week, penalties were an
nounced over the Beaver Field
PA system .in addition to the
usual pre-game lineups and des
cription of the Blue Band half
time show.
Welsh said he would seek fur
ther use of the public address
system by presenting results of;
the poll at the Oct. 31 meeting
of the Athletic Association.
Cabinet adopted a report by
Samuel Fleming on Encampment’s
Subsidiary Organizations of Stu
dent Government Workshop.
The following appointments
were approved: John Hall, Mi
chael Olderman and Francis Ven
tre, Mall Bulletin Board Commit
tee; and Barbara Stone and Rog
er Serota, co-chairmen of the Ju
dicial Reorganization Committee.
Jr. Prom Committee to Meet

football fans, Penn State takes on an underdog Boston Uni
versity eleven at 1:30 p.m. today on Boston’s University Field.

The history of the series also
shows reasons for the expected
high-scoring affair.

game activities at 1:15 p.m. The

Editorial on Page Four
Hundreds of messages of sym
pathy from Pennsylvania news
papermen poured into the home
of Louis H. Bell yesterday.
The former director of Public
Information died suddenly Thurs
day night in New York City. He
was 52.
Joseph Snyder, Pennsylvania
manager of the Associated Press,
said, “His death takes from our
midst one of the finest men I
have ever known.”
"Your bereavement is shared
by many of us who knew him
well and loved him," said Har
old Cohen of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette.
Funeral services will be held
;at 10 a.m, Monday at Our Lady
of Victory Roman Catholic
Church, Fairmount Ave. and Fra
zier St.
Mr. Bell, who was also associate
professor of journalism, apparent
ly died of a heart attack. He col
lapsed while leaving a hotel to
go to dinner and died within min
utes.
Journalism classes scheduled
for 10 and 11 a.m. Monday have
been cancelled so that journal
ism faculty members and stu
dents may attend the funeral
for Louis H. Bell, who died
Thursday.
Robert Lane, a long lime
friend of Mr. Bell who was with
him when the attack occurred,
said, "We were planning to
have dinner together and start
ed for the taxi when Lou sud
denly slumped and fell to the
pavement."
Ho was dead on arrival at Beth

Although Lion head coach Rip
Engle feels the defense will have
to carry the team to victory, the
regional TV game looms as a
high-scoring, running-vs-passing
game.
BU ranks Bth in the nation
in passing offense and 3rd in
the East. In rushing offense,
the Lions stand 4th in the na
tion with an average of 272.5
yards per game although they
havp not started the same back
field in more than two games.
Engle will “probably” start a
lineup that resembles the Mar
quette backfield unit. The only
planned change will be the re
turn of Andy Moconvi at full in
place of Sam Sobczak.
Otherwise, Engle will go with
the hot, tbrpnsome that accounted
