With halfback Jack Urban and quarterback Richie Lucas leading the way, Penn State’s

'aske made it interesting for
depth was too much for the Red
Raiders from Hamilton, N.Y.
The Nilianies put on their
best offensive show in 15 years,
scoring twice in every period,
and adding a field goal to rack
up their third straight win.
“That was one of the best of
fensive performances put on by
one of my teams since I came
here,” Lion Coach Rip Engle
commented after the game.
Colgate mentor Alva Kelly who
coached at Brown after Engle
left there for State, had noth
ing but praise for the Nittany of
fense.
“That was one of the strongest
teams I’ve seen in years, but they,
have a few trouble spots like pass
defense."
Even though the Lions in
tercepted five Colgate aerials,
the Red Raiders gained 284
yards through the air, good for
three touchdowns.
Two of the scoring passes were
50 and 60 yards. Both times half
back Jacque MacKinnon was on
the receiving end and Paske did
the throwing.

Heat and Humidity
To Continue Today
Unseasonably warm and humid
weather will continue again to
day, but it appears as if somewhat
cooler weather will move into
this area tomorrow.
Temperatures soared to near
record levels Sunday and Mon
day. Yesterday’s 84 degree read
ing places it in the 10 highest
temperatures ever recorded in
the month of October.
Today will be partly cloudy,
warm and humid with showers
and thunderstorms likely during
the afternoon and evening. The
high temperature should be 81
degrees.
Tonight will be cloudy and cool
with occasional rain likely and a
low of 60 degrees.

• Why did 3800 students walk
on the hot, sunny side of the street
Thursday instead, of in the shade?
William A. Hajjar, professor of
architecture in charge of the ped
estrian mall study, said he be
lieved the reason was that most of
the fraternity houses and off
campus rooming houses were lo
cated on the sunny, east side of
Allen St.

Lunar Probe

MOSCOW UP)— The Soviet lunar laboratory is expected
to reach the moon today, curve around it, and take man’s first
pictures of the side always hidden from the earth.
The 614-pound space traveler last night was on the last lap
of its 238,857-miie journey. Its pace was slowed to a cosmic
| crawl by the earth’s gravitational pull. But the Russians said
it was flying according to plan.
| Scientists at Britain’s rocket tracking station at Jodrell
Bank agreed. They said it was traveling dose to the Soviet
predicted position and could be
isaid to be on course.
Tass reported that at noon
yesterday the satellite was 284,-
000 kilometers—.l76,364 miles—
from the earth at a point over
the south Atlantic Ocean.
The Soviet space station is ex
pected to make its rendezvous
today at 9 a.m. EST and start
filing back electronic data imme
diately.
The data will be correlated ai
the central Soviet computing sta-|
tion, whose location has never
been revealed, and most of it
made public later.
Thus man will have his first
answer to the question that has
intrigued scientists and lovers
alike for centuries: What's on
iho back of the moon?
The flying laboratory—which
the Russians are calling an “au
tomatic interplanetary station and
which Prof. Vsevolod Sharonov
of Leningrad yesterday called “a
complete automatic observatory”
—will complete its swing around
earth’s natural satellite, then or
bit back toward the parent planet.
The latest word from Tass, the
official news agency, was that it
would approach within 7,000 kilo
meters—4,3so miles—of the moon
at its closest point. The original
announcement said 10,000 kilo
meter—6,2lo miles—would be the
nearest.
Scientists expect pictures tak
en by the satellite's camera of
the far side of the moon to
show the same crater scars fa
miliar to all moon gazers.
Much more interesting to most
scientists is what the flying lab
oratory, crammed with instru
ments, will tell on its expected
glide back to a vast, cigar-shaped
orbit around the earth.
Observatory teams in the Soviet
Union were geared to begin track
ing the satellite after it emerges
from its photo mission behind the
moon and starts on the way back.
The satellite is expected to un
fold more information on the com
position of space between the
moon and earth, which will be
valuable to man when he ventures
out into that void.

shoppers, mostly townspeople.'
• Would any stores have de
livery problems if Allen St. was
closed to traffic?
The study showed that of 30
stores on both' sides of the street,
six were-without other delivery
entrances. They were the Wes
tern Union office, Grahams, the
Music Room and three barber
shops.
•A poll was taken of all the
shopkeepers on Beaver and Col
lege Aves. as well as on Allen St.
Eighty-five per cent of the mer
chants were in favor of the mall
idea; the other 15 per cent were
undecided.
On Allen St. opinion ran a
little closer. Forty-five per cent
said they favored the plan; 29.5
per cent opposed and 26.5 were
undecided.
The project is being conducted
by a fifth year class in' archi
tecture. The survey was made by

Encampment
Resolution
Discussed
The University Party exec
utive committee met last night
to decide the stand the party
will take in regard to the Stu
dent Encampment resolution
that the Student Government As
sociation President chair the As
sembly.
Following the hour’s debate, Ihe
group decided to adjourn because
only half of the executive com
mittee were present. Only three of
the party’s seven assembly men
were there.
Howard Byers, Assembly mem
ber, emphasized that the party
was not deciding whether or not
the president should chair the As
sembly but only whether or not
it was in favor of the Encamp
ment resolution.
Byers also said that Univer
sity party’s seven Assembly
members would not be bound
by their party’s decision and
could decide themselves how
they should vote.
The reasons behind the En
campment resolution were com
munication and prestige, accord
ing to Byers who was on the En
campment committee which
worked on the resolution.
Frank Pearson, University par
ty chairman, said that having the
president chair the Assembly
would facilitate- communication
between the administration and
the Assembly because the admin
istration automatically turns to
the SGA president for transmit
ting its feelings to the Assembly.
If the vice president chairs
the Assembly, there is another

Hajjar pointed out that results
from the two mid-western cities
which had conducted pedestrian
mall tests—Toledo, Ohio, and Ka
lamazoo, Michigan—showed an
increase in the business conduct
ed. Kalamazoo also reported an
increase in he real estate value
of property along the mall.
The study in continuing and
data is continually being anal
yzed and transferred to graphs
and other charts. Still to be
counted are the number of peo
ple who cross from one side of
the street to the other between
College and Beaver Aves.
Among the results still to be
determined is the average length
of time cars were parked on the
street, and the time a shopper
i spent in each store he visited.
Charts and graphs are being
drawn for many of the stores on
