The “Big 0” of collegiate wres

seconds to flatten Brown Univer

weight championship bout and
salvage a 66-66 tie for the Lions
in the 56th annual EIWA tourney

Pill, which produced two in

the Panthers' Tom Hall nipped
State's Phil Myer, 6-4. in the
191-pound title match.
A quick calculation of figures,
showed that the Lions could not

rested on Oberly’s ability to throw
Wood, a 215-pound muscleman
whose build must have earned
him a Mr. America title at some
time in history.
The word was passed to Oberly
and he carried out the assign

in 14 matches this year, applied
a hammerlock, rolled his man
over, and slipped on a head scis

Over 3200 screaming fans saw

spoils.
But even so, the Nittanies could
not have claimed a share of the

Leta used only that one ma

ensure him a 15-14 verdict over

One council member a§ked
Gary Gentzler, IFC president,
how the rule, if approved, would

Select Candidates
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
(Related Story, Page 2)
John Brandt, temporary chairman of
Campus Party, was nominated Sunday for
the SGA presidency.
Brandt’s nomination in the party pre
liminaries was followed by a heated discus
sion on the validity of his posi
tion as party chairman.
The debate was led by James
Kridel, Campus majority leader,
and Earl Gershenow, sophomore
Assemblyman, who charged that
Brandt was not legally the tem
porary chairman of the party.
Kridel accused Brandi of "un
ethical dealings regarding his
attainment of the position." He
pointed to a constitutional rule
which states that the chairman
must be elected with all mem
bers present.
In January, both the chairman
and vice chairman of Campus
party resigned. Brandt, who was
then the treasurer, took over the
chairmanship. This action was ap
proved by the steering commit
tee and it is on these grounds
that Brandt claims his right to
the position.
ICG parliamentarian Carl
Smith, who was conducting the
debate,. called for a vote which
approved Brandt’s right to the
chairmanship with five or six
members dissenting.
Immediately after the vote,
Gershenow, Kridel and several
others stormed from the meet
ing.
The party also nominated candi
dates for other SGA positions.
For sophomore Assemblymen—
George Henning, freshman in
fuel technology from Shillington;
Sandra Pohlman, freshman in
journalism from Wayne; and
Howard Creskoff, freshman in
counseling from Philadelphia.
For junior Assemblyman
Suzanne Pohland, sophomore in
arts and letters from Latrobe;
and Lynn Marvel, sophomore
in arts and letters from North
field, N.J. '
For senior Assemblymen—Ju
dith High, junior in arts and
letters from State College; andi
Herbert Krauss, junior in psy
chology from Philadelphia.
For junior class president—
Robert Zamboni, sophomore in
counseling from Scranton; and
Carl Castore, sophomore in psy
chology from Levittown.
No one was nominated for
senior class president, SGA sec

Several party platforms were
suggested including the Univer

.’as nominated for senior class
iber, Clagett and Crosby were
nominated for SGA president,
vice president and secretary-treas
urer, respectively.
In a prepared statement read
to party members by Haber, they
jgave their reasons for declining
'nomination.
"We want to serye Penn
State," Haber said, "but not at
the price of personality attacks
and character assassinations."
"Each of us has planned for
several weeks to seek office. The
next decision was which party
we wanted to run on. We wanted
to run a campaign which would
be in the best interests of SGA
with a good platform and ex
perienced candidates.”
Haber said that Darran and
Crosby had had "nebulous charg
es” thrown at them. The only
thing they can be accused of, he
said, is leaving a defunct party.
"They have been reviled be
cause they crossed party lines
to avoid being a part of the
mud-slinging farce that some
members of Campus hinted
would ensue," Haber said.
They cannot fight the nebulous
charges that have been thrown
against them, he said.
“There has been much loose
talk about running for personal
gain, and now our names are
thrown into the middle of stories
on throwing elections,” he con
tinued.
"We, want no part of this
campaign if it is to result in
student government by innu
endo and election by smear,”
Haber said.
Two students accepted nomin
ations for offices. They are San
dra Baker, sophomore in arts and
letters from Langhorne, junior
[assemblyman; and Frank Milus,
junior in landscape architecture
from Colonia, N.J., senior class
president.
In other business James Nelli
gan, University party chairman,
made a statement to party mem
bers about the spring elections.
“1 did not try to fix the spring
I elections,” he said. I went to
’(Johnl Brandt’s apartment to test
jthe Campus party strength. “That
j is what I meant when I asked him
to throw the elections,” Nelligan
said.
