FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR! The Siale College area awoke this morning to see the first snow of the year. A total of 2.5 inches fell during the night making many picturesque scenes. This one Is the east side of the Mall shortly after 8 a.m. Cloudy Skies, Snow Flurries Due Cold weather should continue today in the wake of the first measurable snowfall of the sea son, which deposited 2.5 inches of snow on campus Sunday night and yesterday morning. Snow was measured through out the Commonwealth, with the heaviest amounts falling in the central and southeastern portions of the state.

At least it was convincing to the 28,500 spectators (including over 5,000 Band Day guests) who sat through snow flurries and a biting wind that reached gusts of 30 miles per hour to watch the Nittanies close out their home sea son. State now has a 6-3 record going into the traditional game with Pitt in the Smoky City Saturday. And it looks as if Pittsburgh may be the end of the line for the Lions this year. There were no bowl scouts in the stands Satur day when Torris and Kochman, behind some awe-inspiring block ing up front, ripped off huge gains against the game but outmanned Crusaders. With only one major Saturday of football left, the bowl picture is being drawn into focus. In the over-all picture it's easy to pick out a Baylor Tiger, a Texas Longhorn, and a Mary land Terrapin, but no Nitiany Lion. The turning point of the season for State could have been the 21- 17 loss to Maryland three weeks ago. The Lions staged a brilliant second half comeback but couldn’t push across the deciding score with a first and goal to go on the three and time running out. The Liberty Bowl will probably announce today that it has offered (Continued on page nine) New England. Up to 10 inches of snow is expected in parts of central New England by this morning. A brisk flow of cold, unstable air should maintain cloudy skies in this area today, and occasional snow flurries are likely. A high temperature of 37 degrees is ex pected. Tonight should be clear and colder and the low will be near 23 degrees. Partly cloudy and slightly mild er weather is indicated for to morrow, and showers are possible tomorrow night. Tomorrow’s high will be about 44.

NOV. 21. 1961 FIVE CENTS Pattee Will Stay Open For Holiday Contrary to a previous an nouncement, the Pattee Li brary will be open on Thanks giving Day with full services available from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Ralph W. McComb, Uni versity librarian, said yesterday. Reading room service will re main open until 11' p.m. as on usual weekdays, he added. The Engineering-Architecture and Home Economics libraries are the only branches which have scheduled hours for Thurs day, McComb said, but if the need arises the others will also be open. Hours are 2 to 11 p.m. for the Eng-Arch library and 7 to 10 p.m. for Home Economics. McComb said the reverse in decision was due to “the expres sion of interest on the part of the President. “However,” he noted, "we should not give the false impres sion that we would not have done anything about it if the President had not recommended it." McComb added that he had previously considered reversing his decision because the students expressed a desire to have the library open. There are many personnel prob lems since employees had already planned their vacations, McComb said. “But,” he added, "we are doing our best to get people to change their plans and work.” —-Collegian Photo hy John B«aug« der (38).

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Rockefeller Still Missing HOLLANDIA, New Guinea (/T) Dutch naval vessels and planes hopefully searched for Michael Rockefeller after rescuing a Dutch companion yesterday morning off a swampy, jungle coast of savage-inhabited New Guinea. Dutch officials said there was reason to hope that the 23-year-old Rockefeller, youngest son of New York Gov. Nelson A Rockefeller, also was safe. The governor, flying 10,000 miles io help in fhe search for his son, said he hoped "lhey find him before I gel ihere." He said he had complete confi dence in Michael's resourceful ness and stamina. President Kennedy offered the governor all possible aid in find ing Michael, last seen Sunday afloat Oil a makeshift raft. Young Rockefeller’s Dutch com panion, Dr. R. W. Wassing, 34, was picked up by a Dutch war ship 22 miles offshore. He said he last saw Rockefeller about 14 miles off the coast try ing to reach the shore on a make shift raft of two empty cans that could keep him afloat.

The boat was swept by the cur rent into Flamingo Bay, where it capsized in rough seas. Two tribesmen from the prau swam ashore and told Dutch au jthorilies Saturday what had hap jpened. The Dutch navy began a search of the area and a naval plane spoiled the capsized boat Sunday, Wassing was clinging to it. His condition was described as satisfactory, despite three days and nights of exposure to rough seas and scorching sun.

Then disaster struck. Deardorff developed a cramp and was forced to stop to recuperate. The game Lion tried to keep up his previous !pace, but found it impossible and | finally finished far back in 48th place. Norman ran an excellent race, coming in second to Cornell’s Steve Machooka, the pre-meet favorite. Machooka had a comfortable 100-yard lead with a half-mile fo go, but quickly saw it dis appear when Norman moved up on the African. Machooka held on to win by 30 yards in 26.03 over the 5-mile course. Machooka’s time was remark able considering the weather con ditions. Al times the snow obliter ated any view and the grass looked like a shallow swimming pool. Kevin Quinn of St. Johns fin ished third followed by Michi gan State’s Gerry Youm>.
