Lucien E.

Bolduc said the Vierck car was leaving the lot at about 10 p.m. when Vierck became momentarily distracted and the car struck Kirshner. He said the car was traveling at about 10 miles an hour at the time. Kirshner was taken to the Ritenour Health Center suffer ing from a cut over the right eyebrow and injuries to his left wrist and right hip, including a possible fractured pelvis. Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, University }physician, said Kirshner's con dition was "very good" although his injuries may confine him to the hospital for a month.

In order, more quickly to provide individual rushing chairman with lists of men with averages, the IFC will ask all freshmen interested in rushing fraternities to register. The average requirement was presented by Edward Hintz. re tiring IFC president. Hints said the new 2.1 requirement is a step towards "a more positive IFC scholarship program." Hintz added that the require ment would have affected only three houses had it been .in ef fect this semester. The University Senate now requires a 2.0 house average for fraternities. An attempt was made to table the motion, but this was voted down. No methods of implementa tion of the rule were suggested by Hints in his motion. He said that this would be left up to the Board of Control. Hintz said that his motion was initiated by both the retiring IFC executive committee and the one installed last night. He empha sized that it was not the result of any pressure from the Univer sity administration. Resh's report on the newly instituted deferred rushing was based on 35 replies to a question naire prepared by the IFC rush ing committee. Resh said that 13 fraternities were for the deferred rushing program as it stands now. All but two of the others reply ing said the program would work with some changes. Some fraternities, Resh said, prefer to rush only men who already have averages. The pur would be to enable these fra pose of having registration females to do so, he said. Resh added that he was not in favor of compelling fraternities to rush only those men with aver ages. The new IFC officers were in stalled at the meeting. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1959 Election, SGA Vote Will Begin Today Candidates Air Views By NEAL FRIEDMAN I Both candidates for the Stu 'dent Government Association presidency agreed Sunday that political parties should not have "dictatorial control" over the way their delegates to the proposed assembly vote. In a Daily Collegian press con-1 ference, Leonard Julius, Campus party candidate, and University party, candidate Arthur Miltenber ger also agreed that there should be an obligation on the part of! the delegates to vote for legisla-I tion concerning the party plat-, forms on which they were elected. For two men who are sup posed to be running against each other, Julius and Milten berger showed a surprising amount of agreement.' Both of them were also opposed to listing the party affiliation of assembly delegates in newspaper reports of assembly sessions, How ever, Arthur Schneider, Univer sity party candidate for junior class president, said he thought listing party affiliations would be a good idea because it would "put parties in the limelight" and gen erate student interest in politics. Theodore Haller. Campus par ty candidate for senior class president, said he would be op posed to listing party affilia tions beciuse campus political parties are not like national par ties, even though the proposed reorganization of student gov ernment would make it closer to the national setup. Haller said that national parties have evolved policies over a period of years and they do not change. He said that Campus and University parties have yet to do this.

Walker will represent the University at a con ference Wednesday in Harrisburg called by Gov. David L. Lawrence to help push his tax program through the legislature. Lawrence has invited 69 leaders representing many phases of Pennsylvania's economy to the conference, when he will renew his efforts to push for passage of his tax program.

Separate bills to apply the three-and-one-half per cent sales tax to alcoholic drinks and auto mobile trade-ins are hanging in House committees. Lawrence said in a press conference, last week that . the groups who expect ma jor shares of the budget money must be willing to push for the enactment of the tax bills.
