IFC Votes to Limit Attendance by Subs The Interfraternity Council last night voted to limit the number, of times alternates may attend IFC meetings for fraternity presidents. Only two alternates a semester may represent the presi dent under the n'ew rule. If a fraternity sends more than two alternates during the "semester, the fraternity president will be marked absent. I Under present IFC rules, if a president or his alternate misses two consecutive meetings, the chapter is fined $2O. A total of five absences during the aca demic year or thrjee consecutive absences is subject! to a $5O fine and a suspension rrom the IFC. A $25 fee is chargejd for readmis sion, The IFC Execu lee recommended along with the ad organizational ar workshop report nated at the IFC Sept 9.

"It recognizes that there can be no crash program—no speed up in construction of any par ticular road at the expense of others—either in the Philadel phia area or in any other part of the state." The program calls for construc tion of the Keystone Shortway, the 290-mile 6-lane free express way between Stroudsburg and Sharon but not before 1970. It provides that the Pennsyl vania Turnpike be free of tolls before the shortway is completed, and that the superhighway be widened to six lanes from Ohio to the New Jersey border. The City of Philadelphia claims the Philadelphia port would be endangered economically if the shortway is completed before tolls are removed from the turnpike. The stale already has in the works a $1.6 billion highway program. The chamber proposes lo nearly double that, adding 10 additional projects. Young said the chamber hopes to make a recommendation on re moving turnpike tolls in the near future. Besides the shortway and turn pike features, the program also recommends: • Incorporation of the northeast extension of the turnpike into the interstate road system and chang ing its name to Penn-Can High way. • Extension of the Schuylkill Expressway to Erie, Pa,, and Buf falo, N.Y. • Widening the shortway to six; lanes between Williamsport and Lock Haven. • Construction of the crosstown boulevard in Pittsburgh. • Building a route from Pitts burgh to Brookville in the Alle gheny Valley. Of the money this program would cost, the federal govern ment would pay 90 per cent, the state the rest.

Sports Editor It probably wouldn’t be too surprising if Rip Engle would quit his head coaching job at Penn State one of these days and turn' to directing and producing in television. After all, when one has as much success on television as Engle has had in the past three years, what 'other profession would be more fitting? His latest success came last Saturday when he directed and produced an all-star Penn Stale cast to a 34-0 win over Boston University at Beanfowa.

Two years ago Engle's, "actors" had beaten Holy Cross 43-0 in their TV debut and in an encore performance last year they trimmed Syracuse, 20-12. But this year’s successful per formance was perhaps the best ever for it came at a very cru-- cial time. The Lions had been un predictable up until Saturday, looking like the nation’s top teamj one week and the country’s worst outfit the next. Eut as Engle said: “We really looked like a good team. This was the first time this year that our attack jelled. "This game was a do or die one for us.

But he expressed doubt that legislators will be willing to vote ;a large increase unless the Uni jversity trustees appear willing to i increase fees.

Slightly less than $2B million was appropriated for the current biennium, although Pres ident Eric A. Walker had request ed approximately $3B million. “I think the next legislature is going to have to face up to the fact that we’ve got to provide for the enormous number of young peoplt who are going to need a college education,” DU worth said. But he said “everybody isn’t: entitled to a college education,” so that there is a need for “some standard of whom we’re going to |spend public funds to educate.” | He suggested fwo criteria: how much the individual can benefit from a college educa tion and how much the college education will help the individ ual benefit his community. . “It’s perfectly apparent now jthat in the next 15 years, the I state is going to have to very i nearly double the capacity of its universities,” Dilworth said. | But since “we will get very (little expansion in private uni versities,” he said, Penn State jand other state-supported schools will have to assume most of the .burden.
