Disappointed in five other vig ils—through 11 unsuccessful bal lots in the past three days—the crowd broke into a joyous frenzy as John XXIII made his first ap pearance on the balcony over looking St. Peter's Square. They roared "Viva 11 Papa"— long live the Pope! over and over as the new pontiff slowly taised his arms in benediction. The new pontiff, Italian like his predecessors for 436 years, is regarded by Roman Catho• lics as the 262nd Vicar of Christ on earth and a direct successor to St. Peter. The selection of Cardinal Ron calli-19 days after Pius XII died —bore out predictions that the Pope would be chosen from 'among the older Italian members of the College of Cardinals. Some might regard John XXIII as a "transition Pope," not des tined to institute any notable changes in church policy. But John XXIII, like - his celebrated predecessor, has been a diplomat of many years experience. Though his policies may prove conservative. he is expected to follow the general direction laid down in the 19 years of Pius Xll's reign and to be a militant defender of the church's interests in world af fairs. The election ended a conclave which had seemed headed - for a long deadlock. It must be pre sumed he was elected on the 12th ballot of the 51 cardinals in the sealed-off, guarded conclave. The balloting began Sunday morning. By Sunday night false reports on the selection of a pope I had circled the globe. adding greatly to.the suspense. rgiatt Players Crew to Meet Students interested in working on the advertising crew for Play ers production of "Reluctant Deb utante" will meet at 8:15 tonight in the loft of Schwab Auditorium. Missing Watch Becomes Third Fraternity Theft State College Police have added the theft of a $lBO watch from Alpha Tau'Omega to their investigations of weekend fraternity robberies. The fraternity member who is missing his watch refused to disclose his name, since he was afraid it would put him in an embarrassing situation if the watch turned up suddenly. In the meantime, State College Police are still investigating the Beta Sigma Rho robbery of last Saturday. Police said they will soon have some information on the case, but refused to disclose it because they did not want to "show their hand.' They believe the theft of $350 in jewels and money occurred sometime between midnight ' Saturday and 12:30 a.m. Sunday. The robbery included the loss of seven pins and honor keys valued at $390. Other items tak en from the house include $6O in cash, a jacket and a class ring. Local police are trying to de termine the point of entry, the time of entrance and who might Walker's Straight Farts See Page-4 Top Students Cut University President Eric A. Walker today added an inadequate scholarship aid program to the list of reasons for the Uni versity's losing many top high school students, "If we are to keep pace with other universities of our size and stature," Walker said in an inter view, "we should spend many times the amount of money we are now spending for scholarship aid." Walker yesterday attributed a loss of about 1000 top high school students to a lag in resi dence hall construction. An unusually large number of top students apply to several schools, the University included, Walker said, and choose the one which offers them the most at tractive scholarship. One statistic which annoyed Walker especially when he in spected the fall semester admis sions and registrar's figures, was the number of students in the upper fifths of their class who cancelled their admisisons before school opened. Of the 800 students who ac cepted admission to the Univer sity and cancelled, 442 were from the first fifth and 266 from the second fifth of their high school graduating classes. Walker said. The University grants admis sion without e2amination to stu dents in the upper two-fifths of their high school graduating class. Others must', pass either the Col lege Board aptitude test or the University's entrance examina tion. A total of 11,856 high school gradtiates applied for admissions and 4365 were admitted. A total of 3047 were unable to qualify scholastically. More than 1000 were rejected because of lack of housing and other facilities, Walker said. Un der the long-range building plan now in effect, the University hopes to catch up with its need in dormitories, classrooms and laboratories, he said. have entered It is believed that the robbery wasn't executed by professionals, since an experienced thief would have taken more clothing and fewer pins, police said. The circumstances surround ing the weekend were described by police as a usual house party weekend when almost anybody san seek entry. At about the same time Sunday morning a 1957 Chevrolet, belong ing to Thomas Watson, a former !student from Plainsdowne, N.Y., was stolen from the Delta Tau Delta parking lot.
