Weather Forecast: Cloudy, Rain, VOL. 64, No. '4O FCC Opens Way For PSU Station The Federal Communications Commission has taken action which apparently removes any hindrance to the University’s application for a VHF Channel 3 televi sion assignment The commission’s decision does not mean, however, that the University will definitely receive the Channel 3 assignment. Instead, it gives the University’s appli- Pledges May Get Pre-Winter Rush Late Permissions Pledges who return early in winter term may be able to get late permissions to allow them 10 stay in the sorority suites to till out rushee selection cards, Dorothea- Gerber, Panhellenic Rush chairman, said last night. Formal winter rush, which begins Saturday, Jan. 4, will include freshman women and winter transfers. All freshman women who participate in rush must have a 2.3 all-University average, but a woman who will have third or fourth term standing in winter needs only a 2.0 all- University average, Miss Ger ber said at the Panhel meeting. Pledges who live with rush ees may have freshman rush ees in their rooms, Miss Gerber said, but other sorority women may not visit the room when rushees are present. Pledges Under Rush Code Pledges, however, may not go to rushees’ rooms because they are governed by the winter rush code which applies to all sorority members, Miss Gerber explained. The winter rush code con sists of the following four parts: • Rushees may visit rooms of sorority women; but not sbrority suites. • Sorority women can not visit rooms of students engaged in rushing. • Rushees may not any sociarTurfctibn sponsored" by a sorority or a group of sororities. •No money may be spent on a rushee or rushees by indi vidual sorority women or by sororities. Th rushee quota for each sorority will be 21. This num ber is based on the number of women rushing, Miss Gerber ★ ★ ★ Houses for Sororities Unlikely Nancy M. Vanderpool, Panhellenic Council advis er, said last night in an “un official statement” that the prospect of getting sorority houses on campus does not look hopeful. Speaking to a meeting of soror ity housing chairmen, Mrs. Van derpool said she and Dean of Women Dorothy J. Lipp had evaluated'the housing situation and that sorority houses seem impractical for the following reasons. • The cost of building. Many sororities do not have the money, she said. • The advance that the suite system has had on campus. She. said that if a move had been begun ten years ago, it might have been easier, but with the space already devoted to soror ity housing on this campus, it would be unfeasible at this time. • There is a nationwide, trend, she said, toward our system and from the sorority house system. • The feelings of the national sorority organizations and also the individual sorority advisers. “This is not to say that soror ities can’t pursue the possibility of building houses,” she said. Mrs. Vanderpool added that she would be glad to give her sup cort to any. sorority that wished to consider the idea. Changes in Suite Rental Mrs. Vanderpool also ex plained some changes in the terms and conditions of suite rental. She said sororities may nurchase carpeting for their suites if they obtain the approval of Otto E. Mueller, director of housing and food service. Rain To Develop This Afternoon A storm moving eastward from the central states is ex pected to bring rain to Pennsyl vania this afternoon and tonight. It should be somewhat cooler under cloudy skies today, and a high of 47 is expected. Tonight’s low will be about 45. Partial clearing and only slight temperature changes’ are indi cated for tomorrow and tomor row night. Tomorrow’s high will 'be about 54 degrees. (Tlte Pi' (CnUrgimt explained. The ceiling quota, which is based on the number of sorority women returning in the winter, is 75. Miss Gerber explained that a sorority can pledge 21 girls even if this will push their total membership above 75., Scholarship Program In other business, Winifred Boyle, Alpha Phi delegate, sug gested that a scholarship pro gram for all sororities be adopted. There are six sororities whose average is now below the all women’s average, she said, and this program will encourage them to improve. No vote was taken last night, but a committee was establish ed to investigate the problem. 5 Delegates To Attend 3-Day NIC Five Interfraternity Coun cil representatives will at tend the National Interfra termty“Corrfsl,etlce IrTN ew York City, Dec. 5, 6 and 7. Frank J. Simes, dean of men;' James A. Rhodes, as sistant dean of men for fra ternity affairs; Philip Cozadd, IFC executive vice president; James Culp, IFC scholarship vice president and Thomas Davis, IFC graduate assistant, will attend the three day con ference for all national frater nity councils. 'Fraternity Creativeness' Entitled,i “Instill Fraternity Creativeness,” the conference will be divided into two semi nars, “Creativeness and Selec tion” and “Leadership,” for each, of 20 undergraduate groups. Meetings for administrative representatives also will be held. The highlights of the ann ual conference is the award given to the outstanding fra ternity council in each of three classes. Councils are classed by the number of fra ternities on the campus. The University’s 'IFC won the largest class last year. Oklahoma State University won the award in the smallest class and also the “sweep stakes” or overall award by the best fraternity system at the conference .held last year in Pittsburgh. Jazz Liturgy To Highlight UCA Service Thomas Vaughn and his trio will present a jazz liturgy en titled “A Musical Offering to God,” at 4 p.m. Thanksgiving Day in the Faith United Church of Christ, College Ave. and Locust Lane. The Thanksgiving service will be sponsored by the Uni versity Christian Association. Vaughn, a third year divinity student at the Yale Divinity School, wrote the music for the liturgy two years ago with Charles Smith, drummer in the trio. Thomas Brunkow, religious affairs staff member in Pol lock area, will be the liturgist for the service. Not Experiment. Brunkow explained that this attempt to bring contemporary art forms into religion is not just an experiment to put to gether two seemingly unre lated interests. “Rather,” he said, “it is a serious quest for a new means to express an old faith in meaningful contemporary idi oms.” He added that UCA is offer ing this service so that each pei’son can make up his own mind about the place of jazz in worship, “A Musical Offering to God” was first presented in the Yale Chapel last year. It has since been played on several college campuses and in New York churches. cation a chance for more ex pedient consideration. In a close decision on Fri day, Nov. 15, the FCC denied petitions to allocate VHF sta tions in seven U.S. cities for commercial interests, .includ ing one for Johnstown. The petitions were reported ly the primary obstacle con fronting the University's appli cation for an educational tele vision station. Open lo ETV Unless the FCC’s decision is appealed to the judiciary, the ruling will stand leaving Chan nel 3 open to the University and educational television. - Friday’s decision marks just one more obstacle overcome in a long and complex battle that has faced the University since it first sought a television as signment. If the station is established according to existing plans, a transmitter will be erected in the “legal triangle” in Clear field County, 'Legal Triangle' The “legal triangle” is a small segment of land on which the FCC requires the Univer sity to transmit a television signal. Regulations state that the transmitter must be at least 175 miles from all other stations which broadcast on the same channel. Television studios will be established on the University Park campus, and the signal will be sent to the transmitter by micro-wave relay. The University’s station will be part of the Commonwealth Educational Television network which includes stations in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

ARCHITECTURAL PORTRAITS ON EXHIBIT: The Trans World- Flight Center at New York International Airport is one of the works of architect Eero Saarinen on exhibition here. The display is located in the gallery in 300 Sackett. Flight Center Photos Exhibited An exhibit consisting of photo graphs of the Trans World Flight Center at New York Interna tional Airport has opened in 300 Sackett. Entitled, “Eero Saarinen; Trans World Flight Center,” the exhibit is being circulated under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1963 Economic, Military Ties With Cambodia Severed Terrorists Sent Into Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (A 5 ) —Communist terrorists have been sent into Saigon to blow up government and U.S. mili tary installations and kill American personnel, Vietna mese security sources said yes terday. Eager to discredit the new military regime, they have thrown usual caution aside and are recruiting any persons who say they support the Commu nist Viet Cong cause, the in formants added. Consequently, agents of the Vietnamese security forces have been able to infiltrate the Communist recruiting program to pry out secrets and clear the way for crushing the new ter rorist regime. Bomb explosions in Viet Nam’s capital are occurring at the rate of at least one a day. One explosion Sunday night in a downtown Saigon open air restaurant wounded three U.S. servicemen. Three Day Training The Viet Cong are known to be recruiting taxi drivers, hooli gans, beggars and others, se curity sources said, and given three days of training in explo sives handling and then sent back into Saigon. Along with the terror cam paign in the cities, the guerril las made attacks in the countryside. Guerrillas attacked a big Vietnamese military outpost at Ealuoi, five miles from Laotian border, killed 10 defenders and wounded 34 Monday, a U.S. military spokesman reported. Air Strikes Government planes launched air strikes against the guerrilla positions and ranger units were airlifted into the area. No guer rilla losses were reported. U.S. spokesman reported guerrillas used 100 unarmed civilians as shields in an at tack on a strategic hamlet at Ben Cat, north of Saigon, over the last weekend. After gain ing entrance to the hamlet they gave propaganda lectures, then departed. Eight defenders were killed Monday in an outpost in Long An Province south of Saigon when guerrillas overran the position. Five defenders were wounded and nine are missing. Guerrillas captured 33 weap ons. Service, The photographic study is the work of Eric Stoller, who was awarded a gold medal in 1961 by the American Institute of Architects.

Pavilion's'USA' Delightful, Illuminates Faces of Nation .University-Theatre’s-“U.S.A.” is-.,sr^hOToughly--delightful conglomeration of names, dates, personalities and flashes lighting the face of America the first three decades of this century. Director Kelly Yeaton and designer William Allison have kept the physical stage simple: the' players face each other in a circle and break the narration with a throwing of lines—headlines read -from old newspapers. While “U.S.A.” can not be rightly called a play, it is a revue, a highly original and provacative one at that. It' is billed as satire, yet satire does not seem to be its major force. Its strength lies in the brief, crystal descriptions of people of the time: Eugene Debs, Orville Wright, Rudolph Valentino, J. Ward Morehouse, Isadora Dun can. the unknown soldier. Well Paced Cast The cast is a small but well paced one. Luke Sickle is the public relations man of the times, J. Ward Morehouse. This is perhaps not his strongest role of the evening, but is the most important as far as the revue is concerned. Sickle’s Morehouse is God-fearing, almost plaintive, hard-working, and entirely un ruthless. He is almost annoying ly uninteresting. Sickle is most successful in his various roles as congress men, businessmen and gentle men of the time. Bruce Taylor is seen as char acters like Debs, the vim and vigor man, Bingham, the nar rator of the Ford Story, Col. Edgewood and various senators an such. He skillfully adapts to the personality of each. Isadora Duncan Story Helen Gregory tells the Isa dora Duncan story, weaving' it with a scarf and unresolved gesture. She also plays Gertrude, Morehouse’s wife and makes a good enough free ' soul before her marriage. She has a low pleasant voice and is best when being tragic or dramatic. Susan Taylor is most success ful as a variety of types, the majority calling for Brooklyn or French acecnts. She has young roles and a sure feel for comedy. Henry Hartman is cast as Orville Wright, (mainly stagger ing around stage), as Savage, a Young Man in a Hurry and as the narrator of the Valentino story, which lie over-does. (Continued on page three) IFC Cancels Rush Parties The open fraternity parties for freshmen scheduled Nov. 30 by the Interfraternity Council have been cancelled because of the Thanksgiving holiday, according ■to Richard Hoover, IFC rush chairman. “We regret that this was nec essary,” Hoover said, “but all! freshmen will be given the op portunity to attend fraternity parties beginning Jan. 8.” The remainder of the IFC schedule remains uncha n g e d. Formal rush will begin Jan. 8, following a meeting in Schwab where rules, regulations and the counseling program will be ex plained. No bids may be accepted be fore Jan. .22, Hoover said. “It is important that eachj freshman see as many houses i as possible and that he be wellj acquainted with the fraternity he plans to join,” he said. “This will eliminate much misunder standing in future years.” By CLAUDIA LEVY Police Investigate Football Involves Several University stud e n t s were involved in the football pool lottery which last weekend resulted in the arrests of two area men, State College police said yesterday. Investigations have not yet shown the extent to which stu dents were selling tickets or buy ing them from lottery leaders, police said. No student arrests have yet been made. Justice of the Peace William P. Bell said he had heard that at least eight to 10 University students were involved in the lottery. Bell brought charges against Louis D. Reichenbaugh of Hum mels Wharf and Richard Walther of State College after the two men were arrested over the weekend by borough police for Apartment Rule Nets 1 Applicant Only one student has at tempted to file an applica tion form requesting per mission to hold an off-cam pus social event, George Russell, assistant to the dean of men, said Monday. Commenting on the new apartment party ruling which went into effect last week, Russell said that while he felt that it was a step forward, he didn’t think that it satisfied what, all students really want. Although he intends to do everything to see that the rule works, he said, “if the students don’t like it, maybe we can get it changed.” Regarding possible changes in the rule, Russell said that eventually there may be “more flexibility in chape ronage rules.” Chaperone Ruling Under the ruling, an off-, campus social event must be chaperoned by either a married couple who are not undergrad uate students of the University and who have been married for at least one year or by an ad ministrator or faculty mem ber and spouse. When asked how the. new ruling was going to be en forced, Russell said, “We are not going to police apartments, for we hope it will be accepted by the student body. We are : going to enforce it through the j rules and regulations of the [board of control.” Lottery Students possessing football pool tickets, Plead Guilty Both men pleaded guilty at hearings before Bell and were released on bail pending the next term of Centre County court. The court will be in ses sion within two weeks. Police said Walther was ap prehended Friday morning at the Rathskeller, 108 S. Pugh St., with 342 football pool tickets and $34 in cash. He received his hearing Monday and was re leased on S5O bail. . Reichenbaugh was arrested Saturday morning, also at the Rathskeller. Police said he had 110 football pool tickets, two punchboards and $104.50 in cash. He was released on $l5O bail. Police Chief John R. Juba said his department has been investi gating the suspected lottery since some tickets were found in Humes Alley on Nov. 15, 1962. 1,500 Sold Each Week It is believed that Reichen baugh was the lottery ticket supplier to this area for some time, Juba said. An estimated 1,500 football tickets were being sold each week, he said. Walther refused to comment on the lottery for The Daily Collegian. The police investigations will continue in an effort-to deter mine the extent of student par ticipation in the lottery and to locate the printing and main dis tribution center, Juba said. Shooting Investigation At Fraternity Reveals Possibility of Accident A bullet taken from the leg of a York man Saturday night after he was shot in the parking lot of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity “could have been fired acci dentally, and from almost any where around the open area,” Lt. M. E. Seckinger, State Col lege police, said yesterday. Herman J. Banks, 22, was shot in the calf of the leg while he was unloading instruments from a car. Banks is a musi cian in an orchestra which played at the fraternity. The shooting occurred at approxi mately 8:50 p.m. The .22 caliber bullet was found after Banks was taken to Ritenour Health Center for treatment of what he thought was an injury sustained on the car door, Seckinger said. Bullet Test • A ballistics test is being per formed on the gullet at the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion laboratory in Philadelphia, Marking Time In Higher Education --See Page 2 FIVE CENTS Sihanouk Claims Aid Undermines PHNOM PENH, Cambo dia (/P) Prince Norodom Sihanouk, ruler of Cambo dia, yesterday severed all economic and military ties with the United States. Sihanouk charged that • U.S.- aid was' being used to under mine him. He announced his decision in a fiery speech before an emerg ency session of his political par ty at a Phnom Penh stadium. -He told a wildly cheering crowd of Youth Corps members that American equipment' had been used by rebel Cambodians operating from South Viet Nam. The U.S. Embassy, said it. had received no official text of the prince’s denunciation, nor had it been formally notified of any change in relations with Cam bodia. It was expected such no tification might come todgy. Aid Averages $3O Million U.S. aid to Cambodia aver ages 'about $3O million a year, which is about the same figure as the national yearly deficit. Funds generated by the Ameri can commercial import pro gram in Cambodia pay for about 40 per cent of the upkeep of the nation’s small armed forces. Sihanouk said that while he would stop receiving any form of American assistance, he planned to maintain diplomatic ties with the United States. The cut would reduce the number of official Americans in this-nation, now about 300, to about 20. No Formal Request In Washington, the State De partment said it had been in formed of Sihanouk’s statement, but added that no formal re quest to stop U.S. aid has been received from the Cambodian government. The department also repeated its denial that the United States was involved in any plot against' Sihanouk. Anti-American signs. appeared throughout the city. In a tactic reminiscent of Fidel Castro’s Cuba, Sihanouk paraded two political prisoners who said they had conducted antigovernment activities in a strategic hamlet in neighboring South Viet Nam under control of U.S. military advisers. They said Radio Free Cam bodia transmitters were set up in such villages. Sihanouk charges these secret stations have waged a campaign against him with the blessings of U.S. officials. Ad Board Plans Jnter-Class Jammy For Winter Term Plans to hold a jam.session and concert for the Frosh-Soph weekend on Feb. 28 and 29 were discussed last night at the first meeting of the Freshman Class Advisory Board. Tlie newly-selected board also began plans for participation in the fall orientation program, co ordinating the downtown housing list and sponsoring a concert to raise a freshman scholarship fund. Class President John Gilliland announced that he had sent let ters to freshman presidents at other large universities to dis cover what major problems they face and how they handle them. Seckinger said. The results should be known in two days. Rumors that FBI agents have been investigating the scene were denied by Seckinger and Police Chief John R. Juba. • Seckinger said the bullet didn’t do much damage as “it was pretty well spent as though it came from a malfunctioning gun or from a long distance.” He added the type of gun and its location when the shooting occurred could be better de termined after the bullet test. The police officer said the bullet, must have been shot from outside as -he has “given up the possibility that it was shot from the house.” . The shooting victim was re cently discharged from the .Ar my and 'had never .been in State College before. .He has returned to York since his in jury was not serious enough to retain him.
