If all went well as the payload
coasted on toward space, some
time early next Sunday afternoon
a radio signal from Hawaii might
touch off the terminal rocket and
send the probe into a lunar orbit.
Attainment of the vicinity of
the moon would represent a
major step beyond the achieve
ment of Pioneer I.
Launched Oct. 11, the first Pio
neer followed a trajectory steeper
than had been planned, and there
fore failed to attain the velocity
needed to carry it to the vicinity
of the moon.
Pioneer I lost its forward mo
mentum about 90,850 miles from
the earth. Falling back, it was
destroyed on re-entry into the at
mosphere 27 hours after launch
ing.
The new device to correct the
rocket's trajectory is a special
modification of the moon rocket's
radio system. Its function is to
encourage more speed if. the rock
et deviates from its planned tra
jectory in the early stages of
flight.
Coeds Expected
To Phone If Late
Each woman student must
phone her hostess before closing
hours if she is going to be return
ing to the dormitory late because
of unforseen• difficulties.
This is true for week night late
ness, weekend lateness and late
ness on travel permissions, Aud
rey Jersun, chairman of Women's
Student Government Judicial,
said.
Several women were late last
weekend because of the snow.
Those who called their hostesses
received no penalties, Miss Jersun
said.

The Women's St dent Govern

Wednesday night r this inter
pretation of "signing out correct
ly?' Coeds receive blackmarks for
signing out incorrectly.
The stricter interpretation was
made so that coeds may more
easily be found in case of an
emergency.
The proposal that no coeds be
required to sign out but all be
required to sign in, whether or
not they leave the residence
hail, was defeated,by a vote of
the committee on judicial re

New Lecture Series
Will Not Affect Fees
The costs of the University Lecture Series will not affect
student fees, Dr. Kent Forster, chairman of the Lecture
Series committee, said yesterday.
"There is no contemplation at all of altering students'
fees because of the Lecture Series," he said.
He said the money for the ap
pearances of Mrs. Eleanore Roos
evelt and Clement Attlee would
come from a special contingency
fund over which President Eric
A. Walker has control.
The statement came following
a meeting of the committee to
discuss arrangements for trans
portation and housing for the
speakers.
The committee appointed Jay
Feldstein, All-University presi
dent, Mary Jane Wyland, pro
fessor emeritus of education,
and Sherry Parkin, junior in
secretarial education and coin
' mittee member, to meet Mrs.
Roosevelt at the train or plane
(depending on which way she
prefers to travel).
It was decided to house the
speakers at the Nittany Lion Inn.
The possibility of arranging for
a press conference and' reception
to accompany each lecture were
discussed, and letters were sent
to each speaker to ask if he would
agree to such arrangements.
If a press conference is held,
members of The Daily Collegian,
The Centre Daily Times, WDFM
and WMAJ will be invited, Chris
tian Arnold, staff assistant to
President Walker, said.
He said it would probably take
place after dinner and before the
lecture. The reception for stu
dents and faculty, if one is held,
will take place in the Hetzel
Union Building.
Ross Lehman, chairman of
publicity for the s e r i e s e said
there had been no discussion of
a campus tour for the speakers

According to Jessie Janjigian,
WSGA vice president, coeds said
they would have trouble remem
beringto sign in if they did not
leave the residence halls. The
WSGA House of Representatives
conducted a survey about the plan
among coeds.
The judicial rt, e✓aluation com
mittee also suggested that an un
limited amount of special 10 p.m.
permissions be given to freshmen
with a 3.5 or above first semester
average, and an unlimited amount
of special 11 p.m. permissions to
' upperclasswomen with a 3.2 or
above All-University average.
The committee proposed that
a coed be given a blackmark if
she is one to three minutes late.
At present a 3-minute grace
period exists, in which a coed
is not considered late if she has
a good reason for her lateness.

Driver Strike
Halts Buses
Only One Day
After staging one of the short
est strikes in history, Greyhound
bus drivers are back on the job
in State College today.
Greyhound service was cut for
[ one day as drivers of the Eastern
Greyhound Company staged a
' wildcat strike affecting 20 'east
,ern states.
The strike, however, did noti
affect the Edwards Lakes-to-Sea
service which continued its nor
mal runs yesterday.
Greyhound service from Pitts
burgh to cities to the east, north
and west was cut but Scranton-
New York City runs were not
interrupted.
Phillip Shoemaker, State Col
lege Greyhound agent, said nor
mal traffic was resumed last
night.
The drivers called the walkout
because of a disagreement on con
tract terms. A new two-year con
tract was signed yesterday, but
terms of the agreement were not
announced.
Fraternity Opens House
Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity
held a housewarming last night
for its new house at 403 S. Allen
St_
The deans of the colleges and
all fraternities and sororities were
invited to the open house.
It was felt that a coed should
not be penalized if she has a good
reason for tardiness, no matter
how late she is.
The number of senators from
each class may be changed to two
from each class if proposed con-'
stitutional revisions are passed.
The constitution now allows
two senior senators, two junior
senators and one sophomore sen
ator. However, since an increase
in the number of senior senators
was made recently, only one seri,
for will sit on senate until the
spring elections.
The constitutional revision
committee also suggested that
the defeated presidential candi
date no longer ,serves as secre
tary.
The complete constitutional re
vision plan will be presented to
senate at the next meeting. Sen
ate must accept or reject the plan
'at the meeting following that.
