In 32-0 Win By JIM KARL Sports Editor BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 6 Penn State rolled up 22 points in the second half against Bos ton University tonight to turn a close 10-0 ball game into a 32-0 rout. The Lions, using an effective passing attack to augment their usual strong running game, scored almost at will in the last two periods to demoralize 10,150 fans who watched the game in moder ate 70 degree temperatures at University Field. The Lions rolled to their sec ond victory in three games de spite the absence of first team quarterback Galen Hall, who watched the game from the sidelines with a bruised shoul der. Pete Liske and Don Caum, two first year men, performed like seasoned veterans in Hall's place. Together Liske and Caum com pleted 12 out of 21 passes for 178 yards against the outmanned Ter riers. State drove 65 yards after the opening kickoff for its first score and kicked a 17-yard field goal with only 10 seconds left in the second period to take a 10.0 halftime lead. BU came back after State's first score with a drive of its own, but a fourth down pass from Jackie Farland fell incomplete. The Lions scored the first time they got the ball in the second half with Dave Hayes bulling over from the one. Caum ran BU's right end for the 2-point conversion and State took a commanding 18.0 lead. Near the end of the second period Junior Powell returned a BU punt from the State 46 to the BU 45 and it took the Lions exact ly. two plays to get their third touchdown. A penalty set State back to the 50 where Caum rolled out to his right and threw a perfect strike to Powell, who had a step on the BU safety man near the sidelines. He gathered in the ball near the 25 and went the rest of the way unmolested. Don Jonas' kick was good and State led, 25-0. The Lions drove 95 yards at the beginning of the final period to close out the scor ing. The big gainer was a 47-yard burst up the middle by Hayes. Liske got the TD on a beauti ful, twisting run from 33 yards out. He rolled to his left, cut down the middle, and then cut sharply to his right and outraced four BU defenders to paydirt. Liske kept State on the ground for all but two plays in the first scoring drive. He hit Bob Mi linger with a 14-yarder with a third and six situation on the BU 34 to keep the Lions moving.

Post Soon UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The United States was reported highly optimistic yesterday that it could reach agreement with the Soviet Union for the naming of an in terim U.N. secretary-general. U Thant, veteran Burmese delegate, was said to be ac- ceptable to both countries, and available for the Bost provided they could agree on the terms of service. One source in touch with U.S. thinking expressed "all the high est optimism" that a solution would be found to fill the gap left by Secretary-General Dag Ham marskjold's death Sept. 18 in a plane crash in Northern Rhodesia. A neutralist diplomat in a posi tion to know about negotiations that have been going on here stated his belief that U. S.-Soviet agreement was 90 per cent com plete. Delegates generally said those negotiations had been suspended almost entirely during the day to see whether President Kennedy and Soviet Foreign Minister An drei A. Gromyko would complete the agreement in the White House talks yesterday. With the avowed aim of getting "public reports back. into focus," Foianini R Dennis Foianini last night began the first attempts in re cent years by an SGA presi dent to speak directly to his constituency, the student body. This was the first ip a series of weekly broadcasts, "Student Government Reports," which will be heard on WDFM and WMAJ from 9:00 to 9:05 every Friday night, to keep the student body informed on the happenings of SGA. "Through these broadcasts," Foianini said last night, "I hope to present the student govern ment to the students." Foianini also said that he would be available at any time to speak to students personally in the SGA office in the Hetzel Union Building or at his resi dence. The story of SGA for this term actually began last sprin g, Foianini said. At that time the Assembly was in a state of dis organization and began work on a constitution to reorganize stu dent government. Work on the constitution cul minated on Sept. 27, Foianini said, when the remaining Assembly members met and finished the work to be done on the Con stitution, Since the constitution has been completed, Foianini said. it is now being processed. This week, Foianini said, he pre. sented it to the Senate Commit• tee on Student Affairs. Foianini said that he was also authorized to call for work on preliminary election plans. In connection with the election preparations, Foianini reminded the students that each political party can nominate a candidate for every vacant seat. Also, he said, students may run indepen dently by securing 100 signatures on a petition. Both independent and party sponsored candidates, Foianini said, will receive some financial support from SGA for their cam paign expenses. The new system of represen tation, Foianini said, provides for representation at the "grass a U.S. delegation spokesman re stated his government's recorded position on the whole matter in these five points: • "The new secretary - general should have a clear mandate to carry out the full functions of his office. ♦ "The troika concept of divid ing the 'world into three blocs is contrary to the spirit of the U.N. Charter and damages the integ rity of the Secretariat. • "There should be no political representation in the Secretariat. • "The General Assembly has full authority to appoint an in terim secretary- general. • "The new man should be ap pointed promptly." He added: "The United States and the U.S.S.R. have not agreed either on appointing an interim secretary-general with full powers or on the man. There is no lack of qualified persons, but we have no candidate." ' sports to Students DENNIS FOIANINI, SGA president, in a broadcast last night, calls the system of election of SGA Assemblymen in the new SGA Constitution "representation at the grass roots level."

In the past, Foianini said, As semblymen came from organiza tions and at times pursued the Interests of these organizations rather than those of the student body. Turning from internal SGA problems, Foianini also said that he met with Dr. Eric A. Walker yesterday to discuss the bookstore report. Although. President Walker said that the venture could not be considered at this time, Foianini said, "the matter is far from dead," Support was ex pressed for the idea, Foianini said, if the University were in a better financial situation. Walker Maintains Project Too Risky at Present President Eric A. Walker said yesterday he would not ask the Board of Trustees for authority to establish a Univer sity-owned and University-operated -bookstore. . In an hour-long session with Dennis Foianini, SGA president, and John Black, editor of the Daily Collegian, Walker said he is working under an edict issued by the board this summer which bans all expansion projects for the present time.

By CAROL KUNKLEMAN attribute his decision, solely to this ban. Rather, he said, exhaustive study convinced him that the proposal' "involves nancial risks which this Univer sity is in no position to under take at this time." Walker revealed to Black and Foianini the contents of a re port submitted to him by Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration. The re port discussed the feasibility of establishing a stu d e n f-run bookstore. Walker asked Diem to make the report at the re quest of the Trustees last June. Basing his estimates on a 17,000 student enrollment and a book store of 25,000 sq. ft,, Diem in his report approximated that an initial outlay of slightly over $1 million would be required to at tempt the initiation of a book store. Judging that the store would re ceive 50 per cent of student busi ness, Diem listed $725,000 for in 'come .and $700,000 for • expendi tures. $750,000 was allotted in ;the report for the actual construe- Oion of a bookstore, and $250,000 was apportioned for working ;capital. Diem estimated in the report that if textbooks and merchandise ,were sold, sales would bring i about $25,000 in profit. If profits were given back in rebates, this might mean about $2 per student. "We must be realistic about these matters," Walker told the two students. "We would need more floor space than the commercial book store, superior managerial skills, lnd a major share 'of the total business to operate profitably. None of those things will come easily, They will require time, and money, to achieve. In short, they involve financial risk which the University is in no position to undertake at this time." Walker made it clear that for the present, at least, that a Uni versity bookstore is financially impossible.' But the president did say that there may be a time when interest rates are low enough or -the University in a ,financial position to merit such an undertaking. Foianini said he believes , Walker is genuinely interested in establishing a bookstore. "He expressed this feeling . last year at the time of the SGA bookstore report," Foianini ex plained. An SGA Bookstore Committee was formed last February to . investigate the need for a University bookstore, "The role of a college president ','today is that of a financial pro curer," Foianini said. "The University is expanding so rapidly that the president must keep control of the budget. "This does not meali the pro ject is halted forever," Foianini continued, "but that it is tem porarily stopped because of pres ent financial conditions." Both students reported that (Continued on page two)
