Indoor Rally
Sends Lions
Off to 'Point'
About 200 students roared
their approval last night to
Head Cheerleader La r r.y
Buck’s statement that the Nit
tany Lions were “the best
team in the East.”
The rain-shrunk crowd gath
ered in the Hetzel Union ballroom
to send the unbeaten Lions off to
West Point, for their game with
the Black Knights tomorrow.
Music for the songs, and a sol
id drumbeat for the cheers was
provided by the Navy ROTC
band. Because of the weather and
change in location, no skit or
speech was presented.
However, Buck called upon the
students present and their friends
to give the team a final sendoff
when they leave Recreation Hall
at 9 this morning. The team will
take a bus to the Black Moshan
non airport where they will board
a plane for West Point.
WSGA Proposal
Upperdass Women May Have Cars
Upperclass women are, now
permitted to have cars on
campus on the the same basis
as men,
There are no existing Univer
sity regulations which prohibit
sophomore, junior and senior
women from applying for parking
permits.
The request to allow women to
have cars was approved at the
Women’s Student Government
Association Senate meeting
Wednesday night. Miss Lois Mc
t-olJoch, advisor, to the Senate,
said that the Dean of Women
would accept the recommendation
if there were no other prohibitive
regulations.

will fly to Stewart Air Force Base,
Newburgh, N.Y.
After a workout at Michie
Stadium this afternoon/ the
team will make its headquarters
at Bear Mountain Inn.
Game time is 2 p.m. tomorrow.
The play-by-play will be broad
cast over WMAJ, beginning at
1:55 p.m. with a warm-up pro
gram at 1:30.
The team is slated to arrive
back at Recreation Hall between
9 and 9:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Rated by the oddsmakers as
anything from a one-touchdown
underdog to a one-touchdown
favorite, Penn Stale will carry
into Michie Stadium its longest
early season victory string in
five years. Not since 1954, have
the Nittany gridmen captured
their first three straight games
as they have this fall. *
• The potent Lions, ranked 16th
team in the nation in the latest
Associated Press poll, and 12th
in the UPI poll, own triumphs

them winless against the Cadets

Dock Strike
Ended By
T-H Order
NEW YORK (A*) A week-old
strike of dock workers on the At
lantic and Gulf coasts was ended
last night by a federal court Taft-
Hartley mandate.
Union leaders immediately or
dered 85,000 longshoremen back
to piers from Maine to Texas.
Waterfront activity was expected
to return to normal today.
Federal District Judge Irvin R.
Kaufman issued an order re
straining the International Long
shoremen's Assn, from further
strike action. It is good for 10
days. A hearing was scheduled
for October 15 on the govern
ment’s request for an injunction
providing an 80-day cooling off
period under the Taft-Hartley
law.
The attorney general’s office
went into court at the direction
of President Eisenhower.
The strike began October 1 and!
tied up more than 200 ships. None 1
of the,big passenger liners were
affected. But thousands upon
thousands of tons of cargo were
stranded, some of it perishable.
President Eisenhower ordered
Taft-Hartley action on the
grounds that the strike imperiled
national health and safety.
The Atlantic and Gulf Coast
ports affected by the walkout!
handle 81 per cent of the nation’s
ocean-borne dry cargo shipments.

Food Service, said that the Food
Service supervisors have now
been , told about the change and

Overall Tests
Student Encampment recommendations to require all
students to take a comprehensive test at the end of four
years and to investigate a plan to teach instructors how to
administer tests, caused long debate at last night's Student
Government Association Assembly meeting.
The recommendations we:
workshops on Academic Affairs
and Curricular Revision. The re
port as a whole was approved by
the Assembly, although several
members questioned the above
recommendations.
Jack Crosby (C.-Jr.) opposed
the plan for initialing a test
training program for the facul
ty on the grounds that it was
"off-base for students to teach
an instructor how to test."
However Workshop Chairman
Carol Frank asked, "What could
be closer to the students?”
“To say that this isn't the stu
dent’s concern is somewhat off
base,” she added.
On a final vote, the recom- |
mendalion remained in the j
report, but the words "investi
gated" was substituted for "in
itiated" in regards to the train
ing plan.
1 Concerning the other recom
mendation, Miss Frank explained
that the proposed comprehensive
exam would cover only a stu
dent’s major field.
She said letter grades would
not be given for it. “It would be
a matter of passing (the exam) or
failing it,” she said.
She added that if a student
passed the exam, he would then
be eligible for the baccalaureate
degree; if he failed, he would
have to stay on and repeat the
exam.
Bruce Brennerman (C.-Sr.) said
he thought the test would involve
more memorizing than learning.
Brennerman was also opposed
to the idea because of the added
cost it might involve. "If they
were quick enough,” he quipped,
“they would probably raise my
tuition by the Spring Semester.”
Other Assembly members and
Miss Frank were quick to count
er, however, that the tests would
not be strictly memorization and
that if the system were approved,
the University would pxobably
be recognized as a leader in the
academic field..
Supervisor Explains
Directory Mistakes
Married students who did not change their student number
caused many of the unalhpabetized listings in the new tele
phone directory.
Wilbur F. Diehl, supervisor of telephones, explained that
the listings were made by student
number.
Each student is assigned a
number when he first enters
the University. In practically
ail cases, he said, the number
listing is alphabetical. How
ever, there are some cases
where it diffe r s, especially
when there is a large number
with the same last name.
When a coed gets married, she
must change her student number
or her name will appear in the
same order. Thus,, Diehl ex
plained the former Jane Arden
would still be listed under the
A’s although her married name
is Norse.
The student number may be
changed by reporting to 4 Wil
lard and requesting - a • change.
Likewise, any other students who
wish to make corrections should
report to the same office.
Diehl said that a new direc-

On Parking,
'6O Budget
The Student Government
Association Assembly last
night approved the 1960 Inter-
Class Budget of $22,905, voted
ito establish a committee to
probe the parking situation on
campus, and decided to offi
cially favor readmission of
Frothy to the football field.
The budget was passed follow
ing a brief discussion on compen
sation to persons not completing
their tenure in a specific position.
Budget Committee Chairman
Nancy Clark told Assembly that
the payments would be issued in
relation to the amount of work a
person had done during the time
he held the position.
Assembly passed a motion to
set up a committee to investi
gate the parking situation on
campus, and to make recom
mendations for possible revi
sions. Walter Darran,. Assembly
majority leader and sponsor of
: the motion, cited the fact that
the new parking regulations
have caused substantial contro
versy among student motorists.
He proposed that the commit

tory probably will not be com
piled until next fall, but the
revised listing would be in the
hands of the information oper
ators within 24 hours.
Several complaints were regis
tered by fraternity men who list
ed their private telephone num
bers at registration but found the
directory carrying the regular
fraternity number.
In the interest of geting the di
rectory out early, Diehl said, local
addresses and telephone numbers
were punched on IBM cards be
fore registration for places where
it was known students would be
staying. This included the resi
dence halls and fraternities’.
Therefore, when the IBM ma
chines processed the cards the
house number was already there
and it did not register the pri
vate number.
