It was nicely printed in a booklet to show to anyone who was curious about student goyernment at Penn State. . When Student Tribunal met this year, J. Briggs Pruitt '36, president of the senior class, and eating chair man of Tribunal, decided that as long as there was' a Constitution' it 'might be a good idea to follow it. Perhaps it was• the Republican influence. Section I of Article 111 of the Con stitution stated that: "Three seniors, two juniors, and the sophomore class president ex-officio shall constitute Student Tribunal." That seemed sim ple enough,.but the next section com plicated 'things a bit: "One senior and two 'juniors shall be •elected by popular vote by their respective class representatives in Student Council; one senior shall be appointed from Student :Board to sit in an advisory STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY;' SEPTEMBER 27; 1935 Women's Dating Ruling .Approved I. F.' Council Swift Calls Attention To Church Meetings For '39 Students. House Presidents Held Responsible for Code Unanimous acceptance of the joint agreement between Interfraternity Council and W. S. G. •A. regarding the presence of women in fraternity houses was 'voted by, the Council in a 'special session Monday night. Following reading of the agree ment, which allows women to be pres ent in fraternity houses at times that coincide with women's dating hound, by Joseph P. Swift, president of I. F: C:, the vote, resulting in unanimous approval, was taken. 'The new ruling, similar to the code which had been in effect for two years until last spring, ends the uncertain ty concerning dating in fraternity biases. The Senate Committee On , Student . Welfare will give the new a ruling trial for one semester. In case of violation of the code by any chapter, the privilege of the agree- merit Will be suspended. • , As the ruling contains the provi sion that each' . fraternity president is responsible for the enforcement of this code in his oven house, all - nouse presidents were required to sign the agreement at a special' meeting Tuei day night. The code stipulates that the presidents must read the ruling twice during the semester to fratern ity 'members and pledges. , •At Monday night's meeting, Swift requested fraternitieS to :advise their freshmen ,of the local church recep tions for new students which will be hold - Friday. evenings and to encour, ngeltheir. - attendance.` - ^.. ing the drinking situation from' now' until' the, - time of the' general elec tion, November 7, when State Col lege 'citizens will vote on the beer question. , ' "The opinion on the beer question now seems about evenly divided among the townspoaple," Swift told the delegated. "If the measure fails • and beer, rights are withdrawn, it will result in much dissension among fra ternity ranks, jeopardizing their mor al standing." Committee on Artists' Course Holds Meetings The first meeting of the Artists' Course committee was held last Wed nesday, according to Carl E..Mar quardt,. College •Examiner, who is chairman of the committee. Matters pertaining to the proposed budget, price and extent of ticket sale, and other general business were discus sed, no definite decisions being ar rived at. At a meeting to be held next week, definite plans will be drawn up. • ' In addition to the committee mem bers who served last year, additional appointments have been made -by PreSident Ralph D. Hazel. They are: Miss Lucretia V. T. Simmons, of the department of German; .Marsh W. White; of the department of physics; and by' virtue of his office, J. Briggs Pruitt, senior class president. rsus The Constitution capacity and to act as an intermedi ary between Student Board and Stu dent Tribunal; one senior shall be president . . " That was all that the Constitution had to :say about Membership. It was something of a problem to decide where the other .senior mem ber came from. The most logical solution was for the senior president to'serve as the third senior and that was how things stood until the day before the first Tribunal meeting when S. 'Burry Hicks '36 made . the announcement that last spring Leo N. Skemp '35, then president of the Tribunal, had appointed him to serve on that body for the year 1935-36. This complicated matters. • Tribunal met, however, on Tuesday night:to.elect a president. Present at this meeting were Pruitt; Philip G. Evans.'36,.who was elected from Stu dent Council; Elwood M. Douthett '36, who was appointed from Student Board; Hicks; John H. Calvin '37, and Donald H. Newcomb '37, the two juniors eleeted from Student Council; and Fred L. Young jr. '3B, sophomore class president. The first business of the meeting was to decide who belonged there. By unanimous vote, it was decided to 5,265 Studentii Enter Coliege for,New Year Five thousand, tw,o hundred and sixty-five 'studenta:khave enrolled in the College to. date, according to a report issued by;the Registrar's office, Wednesday. . This figure, although Including the Mont Alto. registration, is still incomplete, due to,: the fact that practice teacher" .registration in Altoona and Johnstown, and late. College registration, is not includ ed. The final fignie is anticipated early next week. . . Hillel Foundation To Hold ,Services Holiday ProgramLor all Jewish Students To. Start at 7 O'Clock Tonight.

The return from the cabin will be made in time for supper. . . seat Hicks. The next thing to do was to .elect a president. The Constitu tion bad something to say. about this, too: "The president of the Tribunal shall be a senior who has Mid one year's experience working with this judicial body." Hicks was the only senior, except Pruitt; who was eligible for the presi dency under this ruling, but if the rules were interpreted strictly Hicks was not ik member of the body. Pur thermore, the Constitution said that pouthett was "to sit in an advisory capacity."' . Under s this, ruling could he hold office or even -vote? No one seemed to know. Matters rapidly reached that point often referred to as a stalemate. Something had to be clone if the mem bers were to get out in time to hear the Baer-Louis fight. The only fair thing to do, they de cided, was for all the seniors, except Pruitt, to run for the Presidency. Of course, that would mean that there would be only three votes in the elec tion that really mattered, but there seemed to be•no other solution. The vote was taken and Douthett was named as president. Young, as sopho more class president, was . automatic ally secretary. Tribunal stood ready to function. Fraternities Pledge Total of 507 Men as 10-Dayßushing Period Ends; No Violations of Code Reported Ambrogi '36 Advdcates Fee Continuance, Card System. Wants Second Period Lengthened by 1 Day Continuance of the fifty-cent rush ing fee for freshmen and also- the preference card system in the Inter fraternity Council rushing . code was advocated by E. Jack Aznbrogi '36 council rushing chairman, in an in terview with the COLLEGIAN today. "While it is not definite that these two points will be continued in the code, it is highly probable that these features . will be written into next year's code," Ambrogi said. "Some difficulty was experienced in distributing hid cards to fresh men," Ambrogi said, stating that fra ternity men who congregated in Old - Main and around the Student 'Union desk added to the confusion as.ibid cards were being given out.. ' . Advocates Fifty-Cent Fee "The fifty-cent fee helped the coun cil finances materially," Ambrogi stated. Printing of date and bid cards, as well he other expenses be during rushing season will be taken care of through the fund set up by this fee. Because of the difficulty in distributing cards through the Stu. : dent - Union desk, Ambrogi suggest's distributing them through the stu dent counsellors. Regarding the curtailed second per iod, the rushing chairman suggested that this period of *open rushing be extended by one day, in order, to give freshmen more time to consider the houies rushing them. " The length of the:.first period -is. adequate, in Am -brogßs-opinicw,., Will Enforce Fine The ruling concerning pledging of freshmen who have failed to fill out preference cards will be strictly en forced, according to Ambrogi, who said that the list of pledges will be checked against a list of those filling out preference cards. A ten-dollar fine will be imposed for violations. Assisting Ambrogi were the fol lowing members of the rushing com mittee:- William Deß. Bertolette '36, Henry D. Brown,. jr., '36, Richard C.
