The Student Oovernment
Association Cabinet decided
last night to favor the appoint
ment of class vice presidents
and treasurers by the respec
tive class advisory boards.
The recommendation, which
will be presented to the SGA
Assembly Thursday, is Cabinet's
stand on the amendment proposal
to the SGA Constitution, which
provides for the election of these
officers. The amendment proposal
was referred to the Reorganiza
tion Committee, which is still
considering it.
In explaining the action of
Cabinet, SGA President Leon
ard Julius said the offices were
not of sufficient importance to
- warrant general balloting.
It was pointed out that, in most
cases, the jobs of class vice presi
dent, treasurer and secretary more
closely resemble committee chair
man duties, since thio Association
of -Student Activities handles
most of their duties.
Cabinet also agreed that the
elections ballots are crowded
enough without the addition of
the extra positions.
' In other , business, Cabinet
endorsed the formation of the
Block "5" Club, the proposed
organisation to handle the flash
card system in the new foot
ball stadium next year.
Lanny Dey, chairman of the
Pep Rally Committee, presented
recommendations and the club's
proposed constitution to Cabinet,
Dey stated that the committee
was seeking endorsement for the
project before he presents it to
the proper Senate committees for
final approval.

(R'}---President Eisenhower, calling yesterday a "sad day for the na
vernment lawyer) to ask a federal court to send 500,000 striking steel
'le mills for 80 days.
l ued his instructions to Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers about 3 1 / 2 hours after
ding panel reported to him that "We se no prospects for an early
cessation of the strike" which al
ready has lasted a record 97 days.
OK's
ment
The White House announced the
back-to-work order will be sought
in federal district court in Pitts
burgh Tuesday afternoon. Pitts
burgh is headquarters of the steel
union. The bid will be made by
George C. Doub, assistant attor
ney general in charge of the Jus
tice Department's civil division.
ars
Before the President acted
under the Tafi-Hartiley Act, the
union pledged to fight any
strike-ending injunction to the
Supreme Court, if necessary.
"We will fight its issuance with
might and main," said Union Pres
ident David J. McDonald. "But if
it is issued, we will live up to
the law of our country."
After consulting with various le
gal, labor and other advisers, the
President made public his letter
to Rogers, saying:
"It is essential to the national
interest that production be re
sumed immediately in the - steel
industry.
"Free collective bargaining has
not worked in this dispute - despite
the dedicated efforts of the feder
' .1 government and the fact-finding
board of inquiry.
"In order to protect the inter
ests of all the American peo
pleAthis leaves me with no al
ternative except to seek an in
junction under the existing law.
"America's hopes for a volun
tary responsible settlement have
not been fulfilled. It is a sad day
for the nation."
If the order is granted, the
steelworkers would be required to
return to their jobs for 80 days—
a "cooling off" period intended to
allow new efforts to negotiate a
settlement.
But if, at the end of that 80
days, the dispute still is unsettled,
the steelworkers will be free to
go back on the picket lines. And
there would be no further tools
available to the government, al
though it could continue to try
!mediation.

Alum 'Enjoys'
Wet Weekend
In Jail Cell
By BILL M.FkUSTELLER
Things got pretty wet down,
at Borough Hall Friday night!
A former University stu- 1
,dent, slightly peeved at being
held in the State College jail,
,showed his wrath by plugging
the drains in his cell, turning on
the water and flooding the place.
State College Police Sgt. Mat
thew Seckinger said that Robert
Hawk, of Petrolia, apparently re
turned to his, alma mater for
Homecoming celebration; part of
which he spent in solitary con
finement.
Seckinger said Hawk was
chased for reckless driving on
Frazier St, ' at 745 Friday. He
finally stopped in D Alley which
lies back of the Frazier St.
school. As police officers ap
proached, Hawk jumped into
his car and the chase was on
again.
The persistent officers finally
caught their culprit at the inter
section of Frazier and Highland
Sts.
His attempt at escape this time
was in the form of a fist-fight
at the entrance to the Borough
Hall. The guardians of the law
finally subdued Hawk and placed
him in a cell.
It was at this time that the dam
broke.
Seckinger said Hawk was ar
rested on the following charges:
disorderly conduct. reckless
driving, driving while under
the influence of alcohol and re
sisting arrest.
Arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Guy G. Mills, Hawk was
found guilty of disorderly con
duct and reckless driving and
fined $125 and costs.
He was bound over to the court
to face the charges of drunken
driving and resisting arrest, - hut
who wants to wait in a flooded
cell? Hawk is high and dry on

Nittanies Trip Terriers for sth, 21-12
By SANDY PADWE
Collegian Sports Editor
It looks like this idea ofl
playing "softies!' isn't turning
out to be the picnic everyone'
expected.
First played the Lion
gridders to a standstill for three
quarters before losing, 21-0. Then
Colgate gave the Nittany pass de
fense something to worry about.
And last Saturday Boston Univer
sity, a four-touchdown underdog,
made things mighty miserable for
Rip Engle's crew.
But' the Nittanies won the
game, 7142, and kept their
slate clean through five games
Bus Line
Plans Route
Suburban Express Proposes
Bus Service in State College
State College may soon have a local bus route.
Tentative plans call for the Suburban Express Co. to
begin operation in mid-November, according to Leßoy Toney,
head of the group.
Toney said yesterday he has applied to the Public Utilities
Commission for a franchise to op- .
erate the line from Park Forest
Village, north of the University
on Rt. 322, to College Ave. and
S. Allen St
Plans may also call for con
tinuation of the route along Col
lege Ave. to Shortlidge Rd. and
north to Park Ave via the cam
pus. Toney said he had re
ceived permission to run the
buses on Shortlidge Rd, from
Albert E. Diem, vice president
ofr business administration.
However, Diem said the bus
would not be permitted to take on
or discharge passengers south of
Pollock Rd., between College Ave.
and• Pollock Rd.
"We are doing everything to
rush this thing along," Toney said,
"but there are many things still
to be done." ,
Before the buses can begin •
operating, approval will have to
be received from the PUC,
State College 'borough council
an dthe University if the route
is continued up Shortlidge Rd.
Toney said the firm had already
purchased three used buses each
seating 31 passengers. He said the
buses, about ten years old, were
I r purchased from a company in
Harrisburg. New equipment will
be added, and used to replace the
old - ones, as soon as possible, he
said.
The tentative schedule includes
a southbound bus having Park
Forest Village at 7:15 a.m. and
arriving at College Ave. and .5
Allen St. at 7:45 a.m. Other
planned departure and arrival
times for southbound buses are
7:30-8 8-8:30, 8:30-9, 9:30-10 and
on the hour until 3 p.m.
Toney said every other bus
Would make a return trip in the
morning. They would leave Col
lege Ave. and S. Allen rt. short
ly after the completion of their •
southbound runs.
The heavy afternoon traffic
northbound will be carried by
buses leaving downtown State
College at 3:30 p.m. and every half
hour until six. From then until 9
p.m. the buses will run on tbc!
hour in both directions.
No plans have been made yet
for special runs during late shop
ping hours or on Saturday night:

Statistics prove the Lions were
the superior team Saturday but
only the score reflects the great
fight put up by the Terriers.
"I kept telling our fellows they
had a game on their hands,'
Engle said, "and I also told them
that the BU boys wanted to win
over us the way we wanted to
beat Army."
"They have a good toOtball
team and they didn't make
many mistakes out there," the
