Senate Rules
Still Required
The University Senate yesterday reaffirmed its basic
physical education policy, making it a requirement for all
students including veterans to take physical education.
Jay Feldstein, past All-University president, went before
the Senate last fall urging that the physical education pro

Quiz Show
Legislation
Proposed
WASHINGTON (AP)—Robert
E. Kintner, admitting his own
National Broadcasting Co. had
ben victimized by quiz show
fakery, suggested yesterday
that Congress pass a law to
jail TV program cheaters.
Any new federal law, Kintner
said, should be "aimed directly'
at the wrongdoer, rather than leg
islation of a blanket variety aimed
at the , broadcasters—although
should apply to any broadcaster
who consciously participated in,
the wrongdoing."
With that in mind, he told the
House investigators, NBC has
drafted a bill to make it a federal
crime for any ane knowingly and
willfully to scheme to control the
outcome of a broadcast contest.
Both NBC and CBS have carried
quiz shows discredited by revela
tions of fixing.
Kintner said NBC does not be
lieve in scrapping all quiz and
audience participation shows.
These, he contended, have a dem
onstrated appeal to the public
and NBC is convinced such pro
grams can be both entertaining
and enlightening without resort
ing to fakery.
Diem Gives Facts
On Parking Problem
Students do not understand the parking situation be
cause they do not have all the facts, Albert E. Diem, vice
president for business administration, said.
In discussing Cabinet's move against Sunday parking
restrictions, Diem said that only 25 per cent of the students
who registered and have paid
permits would be able to use the
lots in question.
There are 3453 students with
paid parking permits and only
837 spaces, exclusive of the Hetzel
Union parking lot, available in
the area enclosed by Curtin, Bur
rowes and Shortlidge Rds. The
HUB lot is not restricted Sundays
and evenings.
Opening those areas would al
so lead to traffic congestion not
only on the campus streets but
in the lots themselves, he said.
Illustrating his point, he said
that if only 50 per cent of the
students •with permits brought
cars to campus on Sunday, there
would only be parking space for
half of them. Congestion would
be created 'when students drove
around looking for a space, he

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1959
PhysEd
for Vets
At that time, a report of the
Academic Standards Committee
asked for retention of ihe present
system. The question was then
referred to the Educational Pol
icy Committee.
The committee made its re
port yesterday and supported
the present policy.
The report made three other
recommendations on the health
and physical education policy. The
first asked that students be en
couraged to remove the health
'education requirement by taking
an examination developed by the
College of Physical Education and
Athletics. The test has been de
, signed by the college for this pur
r pose.
The second asked that students
'of advanced age and those phys
ically handicapped be assigned,
to physical education programs'
}suitable to their needs. These two
!recommendations were adopted.'
They are presently in effect.
The last recommendation
asked, that credit be given for
the courses. Dr. R. G. Stoner,
chairman of the Committee on
Admissions, asked that the rec
ommendation be amended by
adding "but grade points shall
not be assigned."
Stoner said that the grade a
student receives in physical ed
}ucation should not have any bear
ing on his academic grade point
!average. Students should be giv
len pass or fail marks for these
courses, he said.
This recommendation was re
ferred back to committee for fur
ther study.

Opening these lots would be
denying visitors reasonable ac
cess to parking spaces, he said.
Sunday is a day when visitors
come to the University and as tax
payers' who provide 37 per cent
of the University's support, "they
have the right to look at the
place," he said.
Gaining the good will of the
visitors is necessary for the good
of the University and therefore
good for the students, Diem said.
Many people who have "very
valid reasons in the interest of
the University" will not be able
to find parking spaces when they
need them, he said.
Many members of the faculty
and administration work in their
offices during the evening and
need places to park, he said. •

TWO WITCH GIRLS TEASE John the Witchboy, Henry Yeager,
about his love for a beautiful girl named Barbara Allen in the
Players' production, "Dark of the Moon," currently running at
Schwab Auditorium. The witch girls are Grace Ferrari (right)
and Tommie Moehling (left).
Review
'Dark Moon' Boring
In Schwab Opening
Witches and conjur people can be many things—last
night at Schwab Auditorium they were boring.
For almost two hours the cast of Players' "Dark of the
Moon" plodded through dialogue and action that rarely got
off the ground. If the performance was saved at all it was
done by one or two performers.
Only in one scene, a good old!
fashioned Baptist revival, did the
play and the actors really give
the audience a lift. Ivan Ladi
zinski, as the Christ-preaching
minister, added the luster to thei
scene. He was aided by some welli
done revival songs.
Ladizinski also came through
in earlier scenes. It only took
him a casual glance to wake
the audience up—and his de
livery was excellent.
Henry Yaeger, as John the
witch turned human, gave his
performance a lot, but it was
forced and never reached a good
enough level. His scenes with the
witch-girls neared the point of
being ludicrous more than once.
A great deal of the production's
trouble may lie with the direc
tion, by Robert D. 'lleifsneider.,
Some of the movements he has
given his super-natural perffrm
ers are ridiculous. -

Blumenfield. Her performance

scenes that she fails.

SGA Moves
On Parking
Sunday parking restrictions on campus came under fire
at last night's Student Government Association Assembly.
The first shot was fired when Mary Ann Ganter, Assembly
minority leader, introduced a motion recommending that all
campus roads be open to student traffic every day from 6 p.m.
to 1 a.m., and on Sundays from
7 a.m. to 1 a.m. the next morn
ing.
Her motion also called for the
issuance of special parking per
mits to people affiliated with the
Sunday religious services at
Schwab Auditorium.
There was a lengthy debate
on Whether parking lots adja
cent to, Pollock Ed. should be
open during the periods listed
in Miss Canter's motion. Her
motion differed slightly from
Cabinet's recommendation that
all Sunday parking regulations
on campus be suspended from
6 a.m. to midnight.

Problem
sent to committee a bill calling
for a revision of the present food
service program.
Ellen Burke (C.-Sr.) proposed
that a free enterprise system of
student food distribution be in
itiated. She submitted a report
containing complaints by students
in four different dining halls and
a break-down of prices spent for
dormitory meals and for meals in
the Hetzel Union Terrace Room.
After considerable discussion, it
was felt that a more extensive
study should be made before
Assembly takes a specific stand
on the matter.
