Winter Term Elections Held
New Fee Rules Begun
With Snowball Dance
The second dance of the term
was held Friday, January 25 in
the Student Union Building from
9 to 12. Paul Gallagher was in
charge of the affair which proved
quite enjoyable and entertaining.
Snowy decorations centered
around the theme and music was
provided. Refreshments were
served by Essie Nemeth.
This was the first dance of the
year that the new rule concerning
attendance at activities was put in
effect. It is felt that too many
outsiders, particularly high school
students, have been attending
Penn State activities. Only Penn
Staters, their guests, and nurses
are Permitted to attend. The ad
mission fee of $.25 made possible
the nurchasing of an instrumental
group.
