For the additional $13,625,000

for the project, Walker said the
University will offer additional
bonds for sale.
He said the present interest rate
set by the federal government is
2 7/8 per cent. A 3.68 per cent
rate was required of the Univer
sity in its most recent Series B
bond issue for other construction
work.
Walker said: "Today the Uni
versity has outstanding in the
hands of the public $34.6 million
fn first mortgage bonds. Upon
completion of the presently au
thorized construction of self-liqui
dating projects in the fall of 1961,
there'will be $56 million outstand

The University does its princi
pal borrowing by selling these
bonds to the public. They are ob
tained by a first mortgage on
certain properties, together with
a pledge of the gross revenue of
the mortgaged revenue-producing
properties.
The University is also financing

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Coed, Alum Escape
Injury in Car Crash
A University coed and an alumnus escaped serious in
jury at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday when their car collided
headon with another auto six miles west of Washington, Pa.
The death of a 10-month baby was involved in the crash.
Although both cars were completely demolished, Bar
bara Stone, junior in arts and let
ters from Wheeling, W. Va., suf
fered only a cut lip.
The operator of the car she was
riding in, Thomas Hollander, pres
ident of the class of 1958 from'
Monessen,
suffered a cut leg which
required 22 stitches.
Hollander, who might possibly
have a fractured right ankle, was
retained in the Washington Hos
pital. Miss Stone was released
after treatment and observation.
Of the three occupants in the
other vehicle, Eugene Simpson, a
10-month old baby, was killed in,
the crash. The childs's parents,
Lucas Simpson, 23, and Fay Simp-1
son, 18, New Haven, Conn., re
ceived cuts of the face and knee ,
and a bruised right shoulder re
spectively. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson
were taken to the - hospital at
Washington..
The cars were both in the mid
dle lane of a 3-lane highway when
they collided. State police at
Washington said they were unable
to tell which driver was at fault.
They added that it will be up to
the coroner and courts to decide.
PhysEd Letters
Asked of Vets
All-University President Jay
Feldstein has asked freshman and
sophomore veterans for support in
his quest for veteran exemption
from physical education.
Feldstein urged veterans to sub
mit letters giving their opinions
and reasons supporting the opin
ions to the Hetzel Union desk be
fore Thursday.
Feldstein said he wanted to use
the opinions as ammunition when
he goes before the University Sen
ate Thursday.
All-University Cabinet sent a
recommendation to Senate last
Spring for the exemption. But it
was sent to a committee and has
been floundering there until Cab
inet brought up the issue again
this fall.
Carolina eleven. Only one aerial
hit the touchdown target, but'
eight others were completed at
strategic times.
Quarterback Richie Lucas was,
the chief navigator-bombadier in
the aerial raid witnessed by a
28,000 Band Day crowd. The
flashy junior, who gained his
wings last year when he com
pleted 27 of 59 passes for 426
yards and four TDs, threw for
1 131 yards and one TD. He com
pleted 8 of 15 attempts during
the regular play and also hit on
two of two conversion tries.
Lucas' favorite target was an'
infantry refugee who enlisted in
the flyboy force last spring—l
Maury Schleicher. Up until Sat
urday, Schleicher had caught on
ly two passes for 21 yards. But
the behemouth senior -6-3, 230-
pounds grabbed five of Lucas'
pitches against Furman for 87
yards, and added another recep
tion on a point-after-touchdown
fling. (Continued on page nine)
Democratic Victory
Seen for Elections
WASHINGTON (. I P)—The angry words - of a bitter cam
paign faded last night and it was left up to the voters: will
they gratify the sky high hopes of the Democrats, or surprise
the experts with a Republican triumph?
More than 76 million men and women are eligible to vote
today and about 48 million are expected to.
Their votes will decide wh
for the next two years—and by
the men who'll govern 32 stat
Their votes may indicate, t
1960 presidential campaign.
A 48-million vot e r turnout
would be a record for a nonpresi
dential election year. Good wea- 1
ther was forecast for most areas,
but a surprise snowstorm hit,
western New England and up
state New York yesterday.
The Democrats grew so con
fident of sweeping gains that
one of their top strategists, Sen.
George Smathers of Florida,
talked somberly of the duties
that devolve on those in a place
of great power.
Republicans made no sweeping
claims. They talked hopefully,
though, of startling upsets they
said were in the making, some
thing like the upset former Pres
ident Harry Truman administered
to overconfident Republicans in
1948.
In this 1958 campaign, Truman
admonished his party not to grow
too confident, but in the end he
too threw restraint to the winds.
He predicted the biggest Demo
cratic landslide since 1932 when
the Franklin D. Roosevelt years
began.
However, President Eisenhower
got in some surprisingly hard
blows himself.
Eisenhower at one point fold
the voters that: "Either we
choose left - wing government,
or sensible, forward looking
government." He also repeat
edly attacked what he called
radicals influencing the oppo
sition, provoking Democrat Ad
lai Stevenson to charge that
the Republicans were waging
"a desperate, intolerable, dema
goguery type of campaign."

hower, declared: "He went to Ko-
