The Federal Communications Commission has taken action which apparently

The commission’s decision does not mean, however, that the University will

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

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.

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.

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

liturgy two years ago with
Charles Smith, drummer in the

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

He added that UCA is offer

Eager to discredit the new
military regime, they have
thrown usual caution aside and
are recruiting any persons who
say they support the Commu

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

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

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

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.
