Talk
The Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs had announced last
month that it would have to take
over the duties of the board if stu
dents- were not able to set it up.
At its meeting tomorrow night
board members will be given
a list of all organizations char
tered by the Senate Committee.
They will investigate the or
ganizations to find out which
are defunct and have no mem
bers.
They will also look into organ
izations which have not complied
with the Associate Student Ac
tivities regulation to submit a
charter, list of officers, financial
statement and audit to ASA.
The board, under the SGA Con
stitution, may hear cases against
a group which violates Senate reg
ulations governing social conduct
of organizations or which has ir
regularities in its financial mat
ters.
. II may make recommenda
tions to the Senate sub-commit
tee on organization control but
it may not enforce its decisions
itself.
There are still three positions
open on the board. Any student
who is a president of any or
ganization chartered by the Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs, except social fraternities and
sororities, may apply.
A 2.4 All-University average is
neded for membership. Applica
tions are available at the Hetzel
Union desk.
Members of the interim hoard
and the groups of they head are
Dorothy Tynan, Scrolls; Sara
Phillips, Chimes; Philip Cox, Blue

A new fad may be started
on campus tonight! Instead of
packing into phone booths,
Penn Staters will see how
many students can fit into the
Hetzel Union ballroom.
The attraction will be a pep ral
ly in honor of the “Liberty” team.
The cheering is scheduled to start
at 7:45 p.m.
Before the rally, movies of the
1948 Cotton Bowl and the Ala
bama-Vanderbilt game will be
shown in 112 Buckhout. The
movies will start at 6:30 p.m.
Penn State played SMU to a
13-13 tie in the 1948 Cotton Bowl
game in Dallas, Texas. This year’s
Alabama-Vanderbilt game was a
7-7 tie;
The lineup at the pep rally in

plus Coach Rip Engle, football
manager Dave Williams and the
University’s two song - leading
troubadors Frank Gullo and

The senior members of the team
will be introduced to the audience
by Richard Haber, master of cere
monies.
A farewell pep rally will be held
at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Recreation
Hall. Robert Higgins, 1918 All-
American, will be the speaker.
Ape Limit Raised

Men 25 years of age will now
be admitted to the U.S. Army’s
6-month active training program.
The previous age limit was 18%.
Men in this plan serve active

Army Reserve for 5% years, in
stead of the two years of active
service.

Most Time
physical education students were
second from the bottom in their
knowledge of physical-recrea
tional facilities. Engineering and
architectural students, who spend
the least amount of time on this
activity, were second from the
top in knowledge of the available
facilities, the report showed.
Counseling students were
found to devote the most lime
to social-recreation. Conversely,
they knew the least about the
clubs at the University.
It was found that students liv
ing in fraternities or sororities
spend more hours on physical
recreation than students living in
State College and more hours on
general social-recreation than
either State College or residence
hall students.
Fraternity and sorority mem
bers belong to a greater number
of clubs and know more about
them than any other group, it
said.

The wild shouts and applause that echoed through the 120-year-old Parliament Hall at
fgfettt
Athens were led by Communist
line deputies.
It was the loudest and longest
ovation the President has re
ceived from any body of legisla
tors during his visits to seven na
tions.
The cheers capped a visit that
was a triumph from start to fin
ish. Some 750,000 Athenians
hailed him like a returning Tro
jan war hero on his arrival Mon
day. Hundreds of thousands more
cheered him as he left.
Athens was a riot of crowds,
flags, balloons and banneis up to
the time the President boarded a
helicopter in front of the Olympic
Stadium and flew to the U.S.
cruiser Des Moines in Phaleron
Bay.
Even as he steamed away he
was pursued by a foghorn sym
phony from scores of motor
launches, fishing boats and oth
er small craft.
Ten years ago, American aid
was instrumental in defeating
Greek Communists in a bloody
civil war. Yesterday, 78 Commu
nist-line deputies in Parliament,
mostly from the United Demo
cratic left (EDA), hailed the
American President when he de
clared he wished to speak "on a
cause close to my heart the
cause is peace and friendship in
freedom.”
But there was little else in his
speech for the Communists to
cheer about.
He said the free world intends
to "win the sort of peace we
want."
He said the free world must
develop and preserve strength
“militarily, economically but
above all spiritually” to win that
peace.
He spoke of a peace “creative,
dynamic, fostering a world cli
mate that will relieve men and
their governments of the intoler
able burden of armaments, liber
ate them from the haunting fear
of global war and universal
death.”
And he spoke of a freedom in
which “under the rule of law,
every human will have the right
and a fair chance to live his own
life.”
"DECK THE HALLS"—and many other Christmas carols were
sung by a large group of students last night in the courtyard of
the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel. The singing was lead by
the Meditation Chapel Choirs, directed by James W. Beach.

Wilder To
Give 'Carol'
Performance
Just as the reading of
Charles Dickens’ “A Christ
mas Carol” has become a holi
day tradition all over the coun
try, the reading of the story by
Jon Barry Wilder has become
one of the University’s Christ
mas traditions.
Wilder, now a graduate stu
ident, will read the story for the
jfif i h season, at 8 tonight in 121
! Sparks.
Wilder gave his first reading
of “A Chiihlmas Carol” four years
ago, with the encouragement of
his speech teacher, Mrs. Harriet
Nesbitt.
Last year he read the story
over 15 state radio stations and
over WFBG-TV, Altoona.
The event is being sponsored
jby the University Readers.
Wilder has acted in many Play
ers’ productions and represented
the Umveisity in the Pennsylvania
and National Interpretive Read
ing festivals. He also directed the
plays “The Emperor’s New
Clothes” and “Tovarich” for the
State College Community Thea
tre.
The one-hour version of the
story which Wilder will read
will be a portion of the cutting
used by Dickens himself when
he read in public.
Dickens himself originated the
oral reading of “A Christmas
Carol” when he was at the height
[of his career as England’s great
est novelist. He read the story in
[England, Scotland, Ireland, Paris
and America.
