To decide the plopel plopoition of

penalties upon houses breaking the
rules laid down' by the Council.
Proposed I'ersonnel
As established recently, the execu
tive group may be composed of five
members, two front the faculty and
the remaining there to be elected from
the Council Whether this is the
proper representation for the students
was the problem before the fratetnity
body.
It was also proposed to Ming all
cases before the ruling body anony

chances of partiality. Nothing defin
ite was decided upon the admission of
faculty members and further discuss

TO EVERY PENN STATE STUDENT
I have been greatly pleased with the plans which the student
committees Ithve made for enlisting the efforts of the student body
in the Eight Million Dollar Bond Issue Campaign. I know of no
workers in the interests of higher education in Pennsylvania who
arc in a position to make a more direct appeal than the students
of the College:
In this campaign it is vital that a few fundamental facts and
arguments be forcefully driven home to the people of the State. I
am, therefore; going to ask every student to study and thoroughly
inflator the material contained in the "Workers' Handbook" now
being disturbed. Our efforts must be intelligent and directed
toward common objectives
As a mart' for the student body to shoot at, I suggest that each
of our four thousand students start out to line up definitely twenty
citizens who ,will each agree to get four other votes favorable to
the Bond Issue, in addition to their own That is the way the vote
is gotten out in a political campaign
A million or more favorable votes will be needed to get the
amendment approved. If our students and their parents can see to
:t that three or foui thousand votes arc pledged in advance, they
will not have' worked in vain
This is the test that will try the real loyalty of every Penn
State student. You will never have an opportunity to do a greater
service for your beloved College Let us be able to say that no
Penn State man or woman has failed his Alma Mater at a time of
supreme test:,
