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, More. listening booths in the proposed wing behind the main • 111 ' 11111 • atlig Tottrgtan Jaws FOR A BETTER PENN STATE AXP Win Homecoming Honors Homecoming honors were awarded last night to the 1960 Homecoming Queen, Nancy Sue Wigfield, junior in art ed ucation from New.

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.

Dorothy 3. Lipp, dean of worn en, explained that it is possible to know the whereabouts of women students living in cam pus residence halls. "When a woman student is discovered missing from her dormitory, this fact is immediately report ed to the dean of women's office by a residence hall staff mem- I ber," she said. On the same question, dean of men Frank J. Simes said yester day that he foresees "no prob- Items" with the elimination of the 'attendance rules. He explained that "since manyprofessors failed to adhere to the K-9 rule the old system was not an effec tive way of checking a student's whereabouts." John B. Beckley, dean of the College of Education, brought out at Thursday's meeting that.

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.

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.
