Board Asks Change
In HUB Expansion
Several changes in the preliminary Hetzel Union Build
ing expansion plans have been recommended by the HUB
Board.
The major change recommended was that the Terrace
Room Cafeteria be expanded more than the 12 to 15 feet
Indicated in the plans drawn by
Harbeson, Hough, Livingston and
Larson, Philadelphia architects.
The Board asked that the cafe
teria dining space be extended
to include all of the present court
yard with a terrace added above
It.
The Board also suggested that
the proposed addition to the
ballroom be only two-thirds as
high as the present ballroom
and one floor added above it
to provide a room large enough
for SGA meetings and a tem
porary auditorium larger than
the HUB assembly room.
Another recommendation was
that the Book Exchange be moved
to the southwest corner of the
present game area on the ground
floor where there would be more
room for its operation,

Faculty Com
By LYNNE CEREFICE
The decision made Thursday
by the University Senate to
eliminate the rules on attend
ance from the Regulations for
Undergraduates aroused var
ied comments from faculty
members.
Rule K-9, now eliminated; stat
ed that as a precaution against
unfortunate incidents that might
result from the unreported ill
ness or extended absence of a
student, the instructor is required
to report each case of three suc
cessive unexplained absences to
the dean of the student's college.
The dean, in turn, will report to
the dean of men or the dean of
women.
With the elimination Hof this
rule, the que.stion was raised as
State Rates Slight Edge
In Homecoming_Contest
Penn State's homecoming fans couldn't have asked for a
more attractive contest thdn the one they're going to see in
Beaver Stadium this afternoon between Rip Engle's Nittany
,/
Lions and Dan Devine's Missouri Tigers.
.'he kickoff is set for 1:30 and the weather forecast calls
for a windy day with cloudy skies
and cool temperatures.
Both teams have hopes of crash
ing the top ten with a convincing
win, but the oddsmakers predict
an extremely close game with
State a slight pre-game favorite.
Missouri is ranked 19th in the
country on the basis of two
straight wins over SMU and
Oklahoma State. The Lions, who
had an open date last weekend
after beating Boston Univer
sity in the opener Sept. 17, are
ranked 20th.
However, both coaches feel to
day's game should tell them just
how good their teams really are.
"No one has to tell me about
Missouri," Engle said, "they're one
of the best teams in the country."
Derine had the same sentiments
about Penn State. "This is a real
big game for us," he said, "we
won't face many teams that are
better than Penn State."
State comes into the big inter
sectional clash in much better
physical condition than th e
opener.
Returning to the lineup ' are

would have in determining the,
whereabouts of a student suc

Dorothy 3. Lipp, dean of worn

to know the whereabouts of
women students living in cam

woman student is discovered
missing from her dormitory,
this fact is immediately report

terday.
Berrena said that the Den was
open until 11 p.m. , during the
week for the past two weeks but
that most students were not
aware of the extra hour of serv
ice.
Last spring, a recommendation
was made to the HUB asking for
the later• closing hour.
A two-week trial basis for
the recommendation began
.I:then
classes started this fall. However 4
Berrena explained, the later hour
was not publicized and conse
quently the Den was empty by
10:30 during the nights of the
trial.
But Berrena agreed to give the
rplan another week's trial in hopes
that the students would take ad
vantage of the extra hour.
The Lion's Den opens at. 7:15
a.m. every day. It is open until
midnight on Fridays and Satur
days. Under the new plan, it will
remain open until 11 p.m. during

'Frosh Must Wear Customs
The Freshman Customs
Board reminds freshmen that
they will be - required to wear
their name cards and dinks to
this afternoon's football , game
with Missouri.
with the elimination of the IC-
Rules, the University is left
without a policy on class. at
tendance. He suggested , that the
Senate Committee on Educa
tional Policy might consider
establiihing a clause which
states that class attendance is
not required.
Lawrence Perez, assistant dean
of engineering and architecture,
said that "freshman class attend
ance will present the only prob
lem." He said that since instruc
tors will not be required to re
port absences, knowledge pf
whereabouts of students will de
pend entirely on the "integrity
land initiative" of each individual
professor.
Ossian MacKenzie, dean of the
College of Business Administra
tion,i said, in reference to the
business college, that an "intelli

dent body shOuld be able to work
