Niltany Proposes
Cars for Vets,
Frosh Over 21
Nittany Council last night
voted to investigate the possi
bility of allowing veterans
and all freshmen over 21 to
bring cars on campus.
According to present Senate
regulations, no freshmen regard
less of age is permitted to have
an automobile on campus.
Because many of the Nittany
men are veterans of military serv
ice, they would like this privilege,
council members said.
The council also proposed that
“Project Joey,” the annual Christ
mas party for orphans, be a
campus-wide project under the
Independent Student Association.
The suggestion will be sub
mitted at the ISA meeting on
Mondav.
If ISA does not accept the coun
cil’s proposal, Nittany Council
voted to continue the project it
self.

Van Zandl has represented
the 20th district in Congress
since 1938 except for a brief
period in the Navy.
Eugene M. Fulmei - , another Re
publican incumbent retained his
seat in the General Assembly.
Fulmer, who was once p speech
instructor at the University, was
first elected to his State position,
in 1958.
In an election where a rec
ord number of 83 per cent of
the registered voters in State
College exercised ther franchise,
the tax referendum on support
of the Community Library was
passed with a margin of 3,300
votes.
The Bella Schlow Memorial
Community Library had in the
past been financed by private
contributions and partly by the
Community Fund. The State Col
lege Borough Council appropri
ated an equivalent sum to sup
port the library with the stipula
tion that a tax referendum be
put to the voters.
The referendum which was
passed yesterday will tax prop
erty in State College 5 cents for
every-$lOO of assessed value.
In further notes on the election,
Richard M. Nixon lost his bid for
the Presidency in Pennsylvania
but gained a wid'e margin in Cen
tre County.

Nixon and Kennedy voted
early in the day, the breadth of
the country apart.
For two men who had gone
through some of the most tiring
and trying campaigns in Ameri
can history, they both looked
relaxed.
Nixon and his wife cast their
votes in a residence at Whittier,
Calif., the home of a. salesman,
about a mile from where they
lived before he left California to
be a congressman 14 years ago.
Before driving away from the
polling place. Nixon told news
men: “We won't know who’s won
until very late at night. Kennedy
is strongest in the East hut I’m
not conceding any state. We must
i await the returns from the Mid-
Nvest and South. Those are the
crucial areas.’’

against Williams two years ago.
In Kansas, George Docking,
who in 1958 became the first
Democrat ever to be re-elected
governor of that state, sought a
third two-year term. He was op
posed by State Atty. Gen. John
Anderson, the Republican candi
date. and J. J. Steele, Prohibi
tionist.
In Illinois, Republican Gov. Wil
liam G. Stratton, ran against
strong opposition from Democrat
Otto Kerner, a Chicago judge.
