COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE Vol. 29 No. 45 STUDENT COUNCIL, BOARD OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE CLIQUES Political Codies Placed Under Control of Government Agencies by Action ORGANIZATIONS TO HOLD MEETINGS IN OLD MAIN Committee Named for Report On Suggested Tribunal v Rules Revision In an effort to bring politics here into the open, cliques were recognized as an official campus activity by Stu dent Council Tuesday night and by Student Board Monday. The action places cliques directly under the jur isdiction of student government agen cies. . Letters have been sent .to each of the present political cliques notifying them of the change. Under the new arrangement, clique meetings will be i held in rooms in Old Main and fac-j ulty advisers may be .appointed for each clique. j , Merger Report Presented . Presentation of the student gov ernment merger committee report, discussion of a proposed non-frater nityunit system, and the appoint ment of committees ‘to investigate special- problems, were other matters engaging the attention of the council at its meeting Tuesday. A committee composed of A. Albert Blaess ’33, Kenneth H. Hairs ’34, and Walter G. Bernier ’35 was. named to report on a suggested revision of Student Tribunal. ' Following the reading of the mer ger committee report, it. was sug gested that the women alone be al lowed to vote for their Student Coun cil representatives, since the over whelming' majority of men. would make_it possible:tcuelecfc a-woman who: received only a few of the women’s votes. The suggestion was referred back to the committee for its consid eration. • ■ ' To Attend Convention An’outline of. the proposed, system of units of'non-fraternity men-for political and.social purposes was pre • sented to the council by Manlio F. . DeAngelis ’35, who,has been working, on the pldn. He pointed out that the; non-fraternity man receives very lit tle recognition in student) government under the-present set-up. According to the .proposed plan, each unit would .send -a representa tive to an inter-unit council, which, in turn, would have one or two dele gates on Student. Council. A com mittee composed of William A. An derson ’33, William S. Bovard ’34, and Karl P. Weber ’34 was appointed by President John A. Wood to in vestigate the project. Wood will attend a regional con vention of the National Student Fed eration at Newark, Del., this week end. He plans to determine the sen timent of the Pennsylvania delegates there for a state association of col leges.

Warnock .because of the complete absence of spirit and coop eration which has characterized fresh man classes for the past several years. If Monday night’? rally is success-, ful, it is planned to hold several sim ilar meetings later this year,” Maurer said. “The sole purpose of. the series of meetings is to get individuals in the class working together as one unit.” Syracuse Favored To Win Team Championship Here Wertheimer, Moran, ' Present Intercollegiate Titleholders, Make Last Year's Champions Best Bet of Meet By CHARLES Syracuse University, bolstered by intercollegiate champions Wertheim er and Moran and foui* other strong bidders for titles in Burkett, Balash, Negroni,-and Vavra, looms as the best bet to win the intercollegiate team championship here this week-end." Pre-tourney, predictions are always a* little- hazardous, and the Orange men will have to garner a couple of second and third places to.make this one come true. However, if an unde feated dual meet record means any thing, Syracuse js due to.repeat her! triumph of last year. N Captain Joe Moran and ex-captain A 1 Wertheimer, intercollegiate cham pions in the 155 and 125-pound weights respectively, seem almost cer tain to retain their titles since both are. undefeated this year. Then the Orange can count on Ray Burkett, in the 115-pound class, and Joe Vavra, in the unlimited division, as probable place winners’. In addition, Tony Balash. and George Negroni in the 165 and 175-pound classes are likely to* gain points in those 'divisions. In the 115-pound class, Johnny Na poleon will probably give Penn State her first 1933 title, since he has al ready won clear-cut decisions over th'e two. strongest bantamweights, Dick, of Army, and Burkett, of Syra cuse, in dual meets this season.

Except for a shift of Bob Ellstrom to the 115-pound class, and of Clay ton Cramer to the 125-pound weight, Coach Charlie Speidel will use the samo lineup that has gone through ■ the season undefeated. The grapplers left for New York yesterday in fine shapo with no injuries to mar the out look for the Blue and White. i Strong as a combination rather than in individual weights, “Cheerful” Charlie’s team has great potential ities in all classes.

Although Johnny has fought none of the entries in this class this year* it is not likely that they will'give him much trouble. The 145-pound division presents a real problem in picking the probable winner. Although Ross, the Syra cuse entry, has a decision this year over Alex Turnbull, whom he will meet tonight, he will find it tougher going against M. I. T.’s captain, “Red” Carey, who knocked him out several weeks ago. That is, of course, if Ross can beat Alex, and Carey can dispose of Captain Del Genio, of Yale, and-Hagan, of Army, two boxers who do credit to any team. “Mlutt” Kessler or the winner of the Keyser-Shinkic bout may prove a stumbling block in the way of Mor an’s march to another title, but it is not very-likely. 1 Predictions os.to who will bo the 165-pound titlewin ner are rather precarious, since none of. the men in that weight has met before and all are good fighters.
