Control Congress President Eisenhower told an election post-mortem news' con ference he wasn't even thinking about 1960 at this point. But to a question whether he thought the people Tuesday "chose left-wing government rather than sensible government" terms he used in campaign oratory—the President replied: "I don't know whether they did this thing deliberately. I know this, that they obviously voted for people that I would class among the spenders, and that is what I say is going to be the real trouble." The President labeled a trend toward higher spending as a dangerous thing and promised to fight it. But he said he thought he would get along with the new Congress. In a situation without political pre cedent, this is the third time he FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 6. 1958 Tony Mortimer's Combo.

Eisenhower voiced delight at' Rockefeller's election but declined Ito rub the crystal ball for a sight ing on Rockefeller's future. In an election that had many elements of the fantastic, it was Rockefeller who turned in the ! greatest single victory. In the bat tle of the bucks, one millionaire' against another, Rockefeller' pushed Democrat Averell Harri-1 man out of the New York gov ernorship. At the same time, Rockefeller shoved himself in and Harriman out of the 1960 presidential pic ture and cast a shadow of uncer tainty over the ambitions of Vice President - Richard M. Nixon. Un til Rockefeller skyrocketed across the political firmament, Nixon apparently was coasting smoothly along toward the GOP presiden tial nomination two years hence. (Continued on page three) to End Fete Feldstein to Seek PhysEd Reversal All-University President Jay Feldstein will take the fight for veterans' physical education exemption to the floor of the University Senate meeting today. The Senate will meet at 4:10 p.m. in the Hetzel.Union assembly room. Feldstein, fortified with a 1957-1958 report concerning the exemption of veterans from physical education classes, 55 let ters from veterans favoring the request and a host of other fig ures, will defend an All-Univer sity Cabinet recommendation. Cabinet recommended to the Senate Committee on Academic Standards on Oct. 2 that the "basic physical education pro gram be elective for veterans." The committee met Oct. 8 and reaffirmed three other previous reports chat veterans must meet the general requirements for physical education. In the committee's report, it was stated that the fact of mili tary service is irrelevant to the question. But the report did say that the facts of physical disabil ity, greater maturity, and greater age that sometimes accompany military service may not be ir relevant. The decision reaffirmed pre vious recommendations by the committee in February, 1948, Feb ruary, 1951, and December, 1952. Feldstein had received 55 let ters as of yesterday from vet erans requesting that the pro gram be made elective. According to the fall 1957 reg istration figures, 814 freshman and 769 sophomores are enrolled under the GI Bill and therefore would qualify for the exemp tion. Cabinet recommended to the Senate during the 1957-58 aca demic year that it consider the problem. Results of the survey conducted at that time found 86 per cent of the veterans favoring the exemption request. As part of the survey, the Cab inet committee chaired by Joseph Boehret, All-University secretary treasurer, sent questionnaires to 40 other land-grant institutions concerning the issue. It was foundthat 33 colleges and universities do not require veterans' attendance and that seven schools do 'require the (Continued on page eight) Color TV Viewers View Dead Screen Fifty persons came to 105 Armsby yesterday to see the first of a series of three farm and home shows broadcast in compatible color and were rewarded by the blank stare of a dead television receiver. William H. Folwell, moderator of the programs, said the receiving failure resulted from the 6-month lapse between - the last colorcast on channel 10, WF BG and yesterday's show. The tuners of the set were out of adjustment, but were repaired yesterday, Folwell said. The Farm, Home and Garden program, broadcast daily from 121 Sparks between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m., is being televised in compatible color from the Gable Department Store in Altoona. The Radio Corporation of Ameri ca is financing the experimental series which will continue today and tomorrow. Lynn W. Bracken, instructor in floriculture extension, will high light today's program with a dis cussion and demonstration of how By BILL JAFFE Two Frosh Suspended On Car Ban Two second semester freshmen have been suspended until the end of the semester for violating the ban on freshman possessing cars on campus. One of the students was appre hended when he was charged with reckless driving and campus patrolmen Darned that his car was registered under thz name of a sophomore. The upperclass man has been placed on office probation. The second violator was dis covered when he received a ticket for parking on campus without a permit. Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said the second student had asked permission to keep the car on campus end permission was refused. But the student nevertheless kept the car here, he said. Simes said the suspensions should serve as a severe warning to freshmen who may have cars on campus or who are planning to bring them here. The University regulations adopted in 1955 ban freshman from having cars on campus unless they have a special per mission. Simes said thts is the first such case handled directly by the dean of men's office. Previously, the automobile ban violations came under the jurisdiction of the Sen ate Subcommittee on Discipline.
