It appears that he predict
ed big rush for en •ollment at
the University has begun, and
much sooner than -xpected.
The Long Rang Planning
Committee after extensive
studies said enroll lent would
reach 25,000 on cam us by 1971
with the big push bqtween 1965
and 1970.
But figures this year indicate
at least an early upswing in appli
cations.
Already there are 4600 appli
cants for admission to next fall's
freshman class. At the same time
last year, there were 3600 appli
cants. That's a 27.8 per cent in
crease.
Noting that a sharp rise last
year produced a record 11,858
freshman applications, Presi
dent Eric A. Walker voiced dis
tress because "the University is
not now in position to admit
more freshmen than were ad
mitted fo the current class."
Of these applicants, only 4365
could be admitted because of lack
of housing and other facilities.
Viewing the present upsurge of
applicants, Walker said that again
next fall, the University will
have to turn away hundreds, per
haps thousands, of the state's
qualified high school graduates.
The University is engaged in its
long range construction plan
which will double the number of
buildings on campus in an effort
to absorb the increased enroll
ments.
The long range planning calls
for about 35,000 University stu
dents by 1371 including the
centers. But this may be a con
servative figure.
The University now enrolls 13.5
per cent of the state's 117,000 col
lege students. Admissions officials
warn that by 1971 there may be
anywhere from 177,000 to 300,000
state students.
"If the 177,000 projection should
prove too conservative," Walker
said, "the state University as well
as the private institutions will
find themselves totally unpre
pared to take care of the qualified
Pennsylvanians who will want a
college education."

Lion's Den to Sell
Pizza by February
Pizza pies will be sold in the Lion's Den by next semester
when special ovens and other new equipment are installed,
Robert C. Proffitt, director of Food Service, said.
The tentative date for the installation of the ovens is
early January, he said. Special gas lines will also be installed.
Freezing Weather
To Leave Campus
The cold wave is predicted to
break by Thursday with milder
air covering the region which will
boost temperatures close to the
freezing mark.
Today's forecast is par t 1 y
cloudy, windy, and continued cold
with a few snow flurries. The ex
pected high for today is 22 de
grees and the low 4 degrees above
zero.
For eastern Pennsylvania, east
ern New York and the mid-Atlan
tic states the temperature will
average about 8 degrees below
normal. There is a chance of snow
tomorrow or Thursday, but the
total precipitation will not exceed
.33 inches.
The w e'a t her prediction for
western Pennsylvania, western
New York and West Virginia is
the same as the eastern portion
of the nation.

Botula Is Elected
Football Captain
By LOU PRATO
Collegian Sports Editor
Junior fullback Pat Botula is the new captain of Penn
State's football team.
The 190-pound line-smasher from Pittsburgh's South Hills
was elected at the Lion's team banquet last night at the
Bellefonte Country Club. The banquet is an annual event
sponsored by the Titan Metal
Corporation
Botula succeeds Steve Garban
as the Nittany leader. And in
doing so, he becomes the 66th
captain in Penn State's grid his
tory. Sixteen men have served as
co-captains for the Blue and
White, but since 1956 the post of
leadership has been given to only
one individual.
"It's the greatest honor ever
bestowed upon me." the soft
spoken Botula said to his team
mates when told of his selec
tion. "I just hope I can success•
fully follow the epitome of a
great captain, Steve Garban. I
still can't believe it."
Coach Rip Engle said he was
happy over the choice of Botula.
"It was a real fine selection," En
gle said. "He's well-qualified and

Scientists to Attend

national symposium on Stress Wave Propagation in Materials
to be held June 30 to July 2 a
Dr. Norman Davids, pro
arranging the meetings, expla

material. Pliable plastics and un

about earthquakes are examples
of this. When an iron bar is hit
on the end, these stress waves
can be heard, Davids added.
Specialists in the various fields
of stress wave propagation will
come from England, Germany,
Sweden, France, Israel, Russia,
India and Japan. Each country
will send one or two representa

which are combining to send one.
There will be 12 or more rep

Vote Garban
Top Player
Retiring Captain Steve Garhan
wa:• bedecked with awards from
both his teammates and the Penn
State sportswriters last night for
his play during the 1958 football
season.
Garban was voted the "Most
Valuable Player" award by his
teammates and was also the unan
imous choice for The Daily Col
legian's first "Player of the Year"
award.
Collegian's "Player of the Year"
award is the climax to a succes
sion of ten "Player of the Week"
awards, one of which was won
by Garban for his play against
Army.
Garban will receive a 14-inch
trophy donated by Levine Bros.
Men Shop of State College.
Commenting on his selection as
"Most Valuable Player" by his
teammates Garban said:
"This has been the climax of
the greatest four years of my life.
I know many times I hope to re
live all those moments again.
"Football has done so much
more for me than I have done
for it."
Although not having a vote in
either award, Lion coach Rip En
gle was full of praise for his star
center and captain:
"Steve is a real fine boy and
he's one of the most sincere I
know. He's done a tremendous
job for us as captain."
