USG Committee to Study Froth
By JOAN HARTMAN
and MEL AXIIBUND
A resolution to form a commit
tee to meet-with the co-editors of
Froth magazine to work out
changes in Froth, so that it can
become an acceptable campus
publication was approved unani
.mously last night by the Under
graduate Student Government
Congress. j
THE COMMITTEE will be
composed of Dean 1 Wharton, USG
president, Ann Palmer, editor of
The Daily Collegian, Fred Wael
chli, one of the two student mapi
bers on the Committee on Stu
dent Organizations, a USG mem
ber and a representative of the
Alumni Association. I .
The resolution also [states that
the Congress' “feels that proper
consideration was not given by
the Committee on Student Or
ganizations to the possibilities
'Razzle McDazzle
Will Open Tonight
. "Razzle McDazzle’s” Irish lepre
chaun pulls pens out of air ahd
beer out of blackboards in to
night’s opener of- the Thespian
production at 8 in Schwab.
Dubbed a "collegiate fairy tale”
by its author, Ellis .Grove,-'the
Thespian musical is based “rather
roughly on certain Penn State
institutions.”
"THIS PLAY is strictly for fun.
There's no message or axe to
grind we’re just poking a little
gentle fun,” Grove, a. former the
atre arts instructor at the Univer
sity, said. . &
"Razzle” is the story of a 90-
pound weakling named Sok. Kelly.
Sok is a s2th term student- at
Penns "Wood University and is
pledging a fraternity. Razzle Mc-
Dazzle, a leprechaun,' conjures
Irish magic, leaping in and out
of bottles, pulling checks out of
thih air ana tapping blackboards
for spirits. He helps Sok make the
fraternity,. turns him into a star
football . player, has the girls
swoon over him and-gets him to
run . for student body president.

the election. This is ohly about 4
per cent of the 23,584 students
eligible to vote. Twenty per; cent
of those who voted were seniors
or graduate students.’
Scrailfon defeated his Demo
cratic opponent Richardson Dil
worth. former mayor of Phila
delphia, 556-265. Van Zandt de
feated Joseph S. Clark, the Demo
cratic incumbent, 458-366.
Following the final vote tally
Paul McPherson, chairman of the
•Young. Republicans said: “I am
very pleased with the resounding
Republican victory. I think it is
indicative of how Pennsylvania
students feel toward this state’s
politics, and since today’s students'
are tomorrow’s leaders, I feel this
is art indication of how the state
will go in the future: Also I feel
this is how it will go next Tues
day.”
THE CHAIRMAN of the, Young
Democrats, Kenneth McCarthy
said: “The mock election is'not
representative of the..state as a
whole; it is, representative though
of the way college students would
vote if they had thejchance. The
outcome of the presidential mock
election of two years ago in which
Nixon; won by a wide margin,
proves this point.”
McCarthy went on to predict
that "Clark will have little trouble
winning,” and. "Dilworth will win
by a narrow margin" next Tues
day.
offered by Froth to clean its Own
house.”.
The bill was proposed by tWal
ter Pilof (town),'one of the'four
members of the executive • com-,
mittee established last week to
investigate the Froth issue. This
committee made its recommenda
tions to the Congress after inter
viewing Miss Palmer, Waelchli,
and Andrea Buscanics, co-editor
of Froth. "
A-. previous bill calling for the
Congress to express "strong dis
approval” of administrative ac
tion in revoking Froth’s charter
was withdrawn by its sponsor,
Margaret . McDowell (Pollock).
The bill had been . tabled last
week so that the issue could be
fully investigated.
A roll call vote on the Froth
bill was called for by Alan 'White
(town) but the motion failed to
receive the required majority vote
and was defeated. .
In discussing the bill, Jon Gei-
Carolyn Fishbein (7th - art edu
cation - Baltimore, Md.) said, ‘‘was
conjuring .that Irish magic. Much
of it was resolved through light
ing.”,
Grove'wrote "Razzle” this sum
mer, inspired by ; suggestions of
the University Theatre's Kelly
Yeaton for a show centering
around campus life, for Thespians.
"LIKE TOPSY" Grove said,
“ ‘Razzle’ just grew.” This is the
fourth musical Grove has written.
He directed “Once Upon a Mat
ress,”, "Sumer and Smoke” and
"Paint Your Wagon." . -
Direction has been a matter of
discrimination because the story
line is so close to campus life, Miss
Fishbein said.
. Other problems have arisen in
teaching over-sized boys how to
faint on stage and in the staging
itself, which tends to put actors
on steps and almost in the lap of
the 'audience, she added.
The musical, which has a cast
of 11 'actors, 8 dancers and 13
.singers, will run tonight through
Saturday. Tickets may be pur
chased ’at'thfe "Wetzel Union desk.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Elections Commissioner George
Jackson said concerning the suc
cess or failure of the election that
there "just wasn't enough pub
licity.”
’ Morris Baker, chairman of the
project said, “It would appear that
the mock election wasn't the suc
cess we hoped it would be.”
JAMES E. VAN ZANDT

ger (fraternity), a member of the
USG Froth committee, said that
the Committee on Student Or
ganizations was biased when it
began the''Froth hearing. The
new ■ USG committee, he said,
would have people of a more
representative nature and would
have the ideas •of the student
body; therefore, it could work
out a plan acceptable to the Ad
ministrative Committee on Stu
dent Affairs.
The Administrative Committee
would hear a .Froth appeal if one
is made.
DURING DISCUSSION of the
bill, many Congressmen said they
wanted the name Froth retained
for. any campus humor magazine.
In other business, the Congress
elected Michael Dzvonik( fra
ternity.) , president pro tempore
and Katherine Johnson (South!
Rules Committee chairman.

Acting Secretary - General U
Thant returned from his Cuban
peace mission last night and de
clared he was reliably informed
all Soviet missiles would be dis
mantled by tomorrow,qand eftit of
Cuba soon afterward.
The .secretarv-genera!, however,
apparently had failed in his ef
forts to get Cuban Prime Minister
Fidel Castro to agree to any form
of U.N. inspection to verify the re

Thant's chartered plane touch

Airport at 8:48 p.m. EST amid
developments which indicated the
Cuban crisis had taken a critical
turn.
THE WHITE HOUSE an

arms quarantine of Cuba was to
be resumed at daybreak today.
Air surveillance of the .Russian
missile sites in Cuba also will
begin again.
The decision was reached" by
President Kennedy after a con

after the departure of United
Nations Acting Secretary-General

First. Deputy Premfer Anastas

quiet uneasiness in Havana over

Mikoyan and a party of 15 are

PRESS SECRETARY P torre
Salinger told newsmen he would
not state precisely when neiinl
surveillance would begin. Like the
naval blockade, il had been sus
pended for the peno.d of U Thant’s
two-day visit to Cuba.
The White House also an
nounced. that Kennedy has can
celled n news conference which
had been scheduled for this after
noon. Salinger-said it. would'-be
rescheduled when the Cubah situ
ation is clarified.
In announcing that the recon
naissance operations will be re
sumed, Salinger told newsmen-
*Tn the absence of effective U.N.
arrangements, the hemisphere na
tions have the responsibility (or
continuing surveillance."
It was presumed that the safety
of AmrrirSh fliers--was the rea-,
son for Salinger’s refusal to state
precisely when the air recon
naissance would begin.
And-despite-the phrase "hem
isphere nations" there were no
indications that any planes other
than those of the United States
would perform the Berial phntng-j
raphy over the Soviet missile sites.
SALINGER SAID he rould not
describe the scope of the boh kade'
when, jt is resumed, but he left
the impression that the same
zones and interception rules would
apply ns were in effect Monday
whcrfdhe two-day suspension was
ordered into effect.
Questioned whether the decision
to-resume the blockade nnd~ sur
veillance was made in consulta
tion with Latin-Ameriean mun
tires. Salinger said this govern
ment has been "in constant nin
sultntion” with the other republic*
of the hemisphere. j w
