Campus party has scheduled preliminary registration and final nominations for the same times, according to party chairman, Den nis Eisman. Al Sharp, Liberal party chair man, announced yesterday that his party is considering conduct in g simultaneous preliminary registration Oct. 24 in four loca tions. Eisman objected to this plan saying it would ruin the political party system at the University, turning the parties into some thing like the Jazz Club by solicit ing members all over campus.

The 1962 and 1963 Penn State- Army football game will be played in the 100,000-seat Philadelphia stadium, provided arrangements can be made, according to articles in the Sunday edition of the Phila delphia Inquirer and the Phila delphia Bulletin. The 1962 game was scheduled to be played in the 27,500-seat Michie Stadium at West Point and t! ; 1963 game at the Beaver Stadium. Ernest B. McCoy, director of atheletics, said that nothing def inite was decided as far as the fate of the series is concerned. Plans were discussed for a change for the 1962 and 1963 games, he said. MOSCOW (IP) With slogans calling for friendship with the west, the Soviet Com munist party assembles today to endorse a •new program designed to make the Soviet Union the greatest power on earth. Premier Khrushchev will open the 22nd congress of the party with a speech presenting the program, which represents his blueprint for beating capitalism by 1980. Khrushchev's plan foresees great strides in industrial and agricultural production, and a better life for the Russian peo ple, with more food and clothing and more and more free services. The session is expected to last about 10 days and has brought top-ranking Communists from all over the world to Moscow. Premier Chou En-lai represents Fled China and is the main focus of diplomatic attention. Khrush chev himself met Chou at the airport, the only delegate so far he has turned out to greet. Many diplomats believe Chou will try to get his Soviet ally to tone down., those sections of the program czilling for peaceful co existence and for support of all independence movements wheth er they are Communist or not. Only members of . the Soviet Communist party have a vote, however, and it is doubtful wheth er Chou will influence them. In any case, peaceful coexis tence was a major theme of the slogans published by the Soviet Communist party paper Pravda. While the slogans are for the Nov. 7 anniversary of the 13olshe vik Revolution, Pravda saw fit to cover the front page with them on the eve of the congress. There are 101 slog'ns. News of the con gress appeared inside.

Army Upsets Nittanies, 10-6, Before 44,120 By JIM KARL Collegian Sports Editor Penn State got more than its share of opportunities to beat Mired-up Army Saturday, but the Lions politely turned down break after break and ended up on the short end of a 10-6 score. A record crowd of 44,120 sat through rain and chilly breezes at Beaver Stadium watching State's offense sputter and spurt while Army Quarterback Dick Eckert connected on five of six passes and used a tricky option pitchout to confuse the Lion de fenses. Quarterback coach Joe Pater no set the tenor for the game last week at practice when he commented that the team who made the most of ifs breaks would win. As it turned out Saturday, both teams had plenty of chances to score, but Army took advantage of its opportunities and might have had another touchdown ex cept for damaging penalty calls. State was almost shutout by (Continued on page nine) FOR A BETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK. PA., TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 17. 1961 Soviets to Open Party Conference especially when the rain stopped and the closing-of-the-umbrellas ceremony was on. Perhaps the presence of those umbrellas was psychological. In accordance with their long honored custom, the West Point ers tipped and waved their hats during the more exciting mo ments of the game. They didn't seem to mind either when they were answered by a sea of wav ing black wands as Penn Staters rallied with their own symbols —umbrellas. The cadets were outdone again during half-time. They flew from their seats, quite unmilitary-like, onto the field to form a mob line for their team. Somehow they caught some cheerleaders, too, but in any case their presence was ominous. Penn Staters came back once more, this time it was the fresh men, who flew from their seats, very Penn State-like, to welcome the losing Lions back for the sec ond half. It was also during half-time that the Blue Band made the fatal mis take of saluting the four-term system. While the bugles and drums sounded the seasons, the fans joined and drowned out the music with cries of "We want a vacation," All in all, it was a dra matic appeal. The Blue Band had the last word, on at least one aspect of the whole performance, as it was marching off the field. The visiting cadets thought they could just walk any old place they pleased. They must have (Continued on page five) Walker Withholds Comment on Recess President Eric A. Walker will make no official statement on the fate of the proposed Thanksgiving vacation. Any action taken will have to be announced by the University Senate, Dennis Foianini, SGA president, said yesterday. Foianini met with Walker on an informal basis Saturday morning to discuss extending the present one-day vacation to in elude Nov. 25 and 26. "All indications from Univer-i sity administrators and deans on the possibility are unfavorable," Foianini said. "But so many peo ple have spoken about it that think it's time to analyze the whole idea again." The most important point in favor of having the extended. vacation, Foianini said, is that, Thanksgiving is a time of family , reunion "Let's face it, not many stu dents are going to study, but they are going to go home be• cause they need the vacation and their parents look forward to seeing them," Folanini said. Another strong point in favor of the vacation, he said, is that many students will be cutting classes to go to the Pitt-Penn State football game the weekend of Nov. 25. t I attFor the 1 Sake of Money i --See Page 4 1 By CAROL KUNKLEMAN In the past, the University Sen ate has granted holidays for big football games, such as the Liber ty Bowl, Foianini said. A holiday for the Pitt game could be grant ed this year, he said. "The argument which we have been given that the class schedule shouldn't he interrupted is ridicu lous," Foianini said. "The sched ule was moved up by one week ; this year because of the Navy game." Harvey Klein and Marjorie Gamer, student members of the Senate Committee on Class and Calendar Schedule, will pre sent a formal proposal for an extended vacation to a sub committee Thursday. Foianini said he would wait to see what action the sub-commit itee takes before making more plans on the idea. The 7-member ;sub-committee will meet with the (Continued on page twelve) FIVE CENTS
