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

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.

FRESHMAN CLASS
WILL HOLD RALLY
Maurer Plans Mass Meeting for
Purpose of Reviving -First
Year Group Spirit
In an attempt to revive class spirit
-among first-year students, both men
and w'omen members of the freshman
class will meet at a mass rally in
Schwab auditorium at 7 o’clock Mon
day night.
• A complete program of entertain
ment has been arranged by Richard
H. Maurer, freshman class president.
As the main talk of the meeting, Prof.
John H. Frizzell, head of the public
speaking division, will discuss the
topic “Thirty Years Ago/’ .
Suggested'By
- The freshman band-will open the
program -by playing.several College
songs. Eleanor'M. Ryan ’33' and
Elizabeth C. -Walter ’36 will Ho a tap
dance routine while an accordion solo
by John G. Renaldo ’36, a piano solo
by E M Virginia Wevill ’36, and a read
ing by Dorothea E. Ruth ’36 will com
plete the program..
The meeting is in the nature of an
experiment, Maurer, who will act as
chairman of the meeting, said. The
plan was suggested by Dean of' Men
Arthur R. 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

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. And
if Wertheimer can get past the deter
mined opposition of Mike Zeleznock,

Strength as Unit Rather Than

Penn State Squad
By U. H. ROSENZWEIG *34
Making its; strongest bid in
years for the Eastern intercol
legiate wrestling championship,
a Nittany Lion team of eight
members will.“fight for the Blue
and White” in tourney competi
tion at Columbia University this
afternoon.
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. In the last six
weights only three defeats have been
administered to the Lion grapplers
this year, while Ellstrom has been un
defeated in all of his matches in the
115-pound class.

again; win the championship this year,
Lehigh Avill have as, its greatest ob-,
staclo the well-balanced strength of
Penn State, weak in no weight. Co- 1
lumbia and Cornell are nexh in line
as offering the strongest opposition.
The outcome of the'intercollegiates
depends a great deal upon the show
ing of Bob Ellstrom. Ifßoh can over- <
come Lehigh’s undefeated throwing
artist,- M-eixell, and win the title, the
Nittany Lions will have' an even
chance with Lehigh in the remaining
weights. Lustbader, Columbia, and
Trctter, Cornell, will also be up among
tho topnotchors in the flyweight 1
division. 1

little difficulty in annexing five points
for Syracuse in the 125-pound divis
ion.
- With Captain' Johnny McAndrews
back in the 135-poqnd class to defend
his title, Penn State should get an
other five points here. 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

of. the men in that weight has met
before and all are good fighters.

ment at Northwestern University in

ists the fact that the apparently com
plicated and senseless formulas of
chemistry are based , on relatively
simple principles, the understanding
of which should no longer be limited
to chemists.
