Surprise: G-Men Win Title Weiss Cops Yohn 2nd Gene Wettstone has experienced many surprises in ,his 22 years at Penn State, but the biggest surprise of all came Saturday afternoon at Champaign, 111., when the Lions won their third straight NCAA gym crown. "If ever there was an upset, this was it," Wettstone said Party Picks Foianini For SGA Officer Dennis Foianini, junior in petroleum and natural gas en gineering from LaPaz, Boli via, was nominated for SGA president by Campus Party at a 10-minute meeting Sunday night. Campus party nominee for SGA vice president is David Grubbs, junior in labor-management rela tions from Bethlehem. Mary Swed, junior in secondary educa tion from Paterson, N.J., was nom inated for secretary-treasurer. These nominations are not fi nal, according to Philip Stein hauer, elections commission member. Dennis Eisman, chair man of Campus party, said that the steering committee felt it would not be fair to the other parties fo make the nomina tions final. Speaking on the Student Gov ernment Association's efforts at reorganization, Foianini said SGA doesn't have a grasp of the es sentials. "They are just discuss ing numbers," he said. "The class system is on the way out due to the four-term system and college councils don't play an Important role anymore," Foianini said. Miss Swed said that student govern m en t representatives should speak not only as a repre sentative of a group, but as a "whole man" a member of a college, a class, a residence area and probably an Interest group. Governor Briefs Houses On Education Problems HARRISBURG (fP) Gov. Lawrence said yesterday Penn sylvania must act quickly but wisely to avoid letting "the deluge of unmet needs in education fall on our successors."

All-Around; in Flying Rings By JIM KARL yesterday when a 'well-wisher walked up to congratulate him. "I've never seen a team sal. vage as many points out of their maximum as we did," he said. "It •happened because we wouldn't settle for second place. Everything we did we did right. It never happens this way but this time it did. - "Every team had its share of hard luck in this tournament," he said, "except us." Illinois, one of the pre-meet fa vorites, was one of the tourney's ill-fated teams. The Illini, who have won the title seven times includitig one four-year streak from 1939 to 1942, saw their hopes for an eighth crown vanish when tumbling ace Hal Holmes suf fered a virus attack and all around contender Ray Hadley was injured. But even though luck was on their side, the Lions couldn't have repeated without a great performance by Greg Weiss and surprising showings by the oth er Lion competitors, Weiss won the All-Around crown and led the Lion scoring parade. By defeating runner-up Fred Orlofsky of Southern Illi nois, Weiss became the third Penn Stater in as many years to win the title. Jay Werner won it last year and Armando Verga in 1959. In addition to his All-Around victory, Weiss placed third on the parallel bars, third on the still rings, fourth in free exer cise and fifth on the side horse. Tommy Seward, who patched up his differences with Wettstone before the tourney, placed eighth in the All-Around and second in free exercise for more valuable points. But the big surprises were State's showings in the flying rings and rope climb. Lion competitors took second, third and fourth in the flying rinas and sixth, seventh and eighth in the rope climb. Larry Yohn, a junior from Lit tletown, Pa., provided the biggest surprise when he beat out team mate Jerry Schaefer for second place on the rings. Schaefer, who suffered a break in his routine Friday but still won the preliminaries by one point, didn't fare as well in the finals Saturday. He broke again and finished fourth behind teammate Jack Donahue. Navy's Frank Snay, who was defeated by Schaefer in four previous encounters, was the winner. "I was happy to win a medal," Yohn .said yesterday, but I was disappointed that Jerry didn't take first. There's no doubt in my mind that he would have won ex cept for the break." Schaefer, who's only a junior, won't get another shot at the title.

The slight, balding man accused of complicity in the slaughter of six million Jews will take his place in the pris oner's dock, shielded from pos sible avengers by sheets of bullet proof glass. Justice Moshe Landau, presi dent of the three-judge Israeli court, will turn to Eichmann and say: "Adolf Eichmann, stand up " And the trial of the man run to earth by Israeli agents in Ar gentina last May will be on. Eichmann must stand for the reading of the indictment, a for midable document of 15 counts. The indictment accuses him of "crimes against the Jewish peo ple and crimes against human ity." The maximum penalty is death. Eichmann was chief of the Ges tapo's Jewish affairs section in World War IL To him—in the cold, impartial words of Nazi bu reaucracy—was assigned the job of finding "the final solution of the Jewish problem." The prosecution charges the solution was the Nazi death camps. Eichmann will be asked how he pleads once the indictment is read. And before he answers, his West German attorney, Robert Servatius, is expected to 'rise and challenge the legality of the pro ceedings. Servatius is expected to ar gue that Eichmann was kid napped in Argentina and there fore that his trial is illegal; that Israel did not exist as a nation at the lime the crimes allegedly were committed, and ,is with out jurisdiction; that he is be ing tried under a law passed after the crimes were com mitted. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany declared Nazism has been purged "from our social life and souls." 2.41: All University average, 2.40; Delta Theta Sigma, 2.40; Kappa Delta Rho. 2.40: Delta Chi, 2.39; Phi Delta Theta, 2.39 Phi Mu Delta, 2.38; All Non-Fraternity and Non-Sorority, 2.37: Phi 'Kappa Theta.' 2.35; Pi Kappa Phi, 2.35; Alpha Chi Rho, 2.34; Fraternity Men, 2.34; Phi Kappa Psi, 2.34; Phi Sigma Delta, 2.33. • All-University Men, 2.32; Delta Tan Delta, 2 . 32 Kappa Sigma, 2.32: Non- Fraternity Men, 2.32; Sigma Alpha Ep silon, 2.32; Sigma Pi, 2.32; Theta Delta Chi. 2.32; Alpha Rho CM, 2.30; Beta Sigma Rho, 2.30; Alpha Kappa Lambda, 2.29; Alpha Phi Delta, 2.28; Alpha Sigma Phi, 2.28; Phi Gamma Delta, 2.28; Zeta Beta Tan, 2.28.

A late season snows t or m dumped 3.3 inches of snow here I Sunday night and up to 10 inches accumulated in the higher moun tain. This brought the winter's total to 84.2 inches which is nearly 10 inches more snow than has fallen in any previous winter. Unseasonably cold weather should continue for several more days, but no additional snow of consequence is expected. Cloudy skies early today will give way to partial clearing this afternoon. Temperatures should be a few degrees higher than those of yesterday and a maxi mum of 46 degrees is expected. Tonight should be mostly clear 'and cold with a low of 32 de grees. Cloudy skies and cool tempera tures are indicated for tomorrow and a high of 45 is likely., —Collegian Photo by Jolla Bellow' NEW LA VIE SENIOR BOARD: Diane Gimber and Charles Jacques have been chosen co-editors-in-chief for the 1962 La Vie.

"You can't build on a rotten foundation." Thalimer, who said he was speaking on his own volition, ad dressed SGA's committee on the whole, now trying to revise Thali- Trier's constitution. . Thalimer, senior in secondary education from State College, said "SGA is a four-year thing. We visualized freshmen, trained in the party for a year, running for Assembly. Parties were to be all-year things, working through the majority and mi nority leaders on Assembly. "We found out one thing" in dealing with the administration." Thalimer added. "Their job is to look out for student welfare. They would like to do it through stu dent government, but if this be 'comes impossible, they'll do it without you." Digging back into the political ; machinery used to defile the old !Cabinet system, Thalimer noted !his three co-politicos as James Goodwin, William Kling, and !Reilly Johnson, all of whom arc 'former students. The constitution which SGA has been using provisionally for two years was originally written in the summer of 1956, Thalimer said. "Our job then became one of instituting it." he added. "I went to LP (Lion's Paw) to help get their votes. We got Bob Franklin (Editor of The Daily I Collegian, '5B-'59) to get Col legian on our side, and Ed Fry moyer for the Independent vote. "We had to sell Jay Feldstein (All-University President, 'sa--:59) so we convinced him that he had written it." "Cabinet was destined to doom iby Bill Kling who believed in politics as the backbone to goy )iernment. He started undermining the system in 1956 and by 1958 Ihe had convinced people that it was 'no good."
