Tribunal V
Douthett '36 Elected
Head After Court
Solves Enigma.
A few years ago a Constitution for
the Men's Student Tribunal was
drawn up. 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

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

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:

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

The first Cabin Open. House of the
year for freshman men will be held
at the P. S. C. A. Cabin, near Shin

ing the corner of Fairmount avenue
and Allen street at 2 o'cloCk. A paper
trail will be laid for late corners. In
case of rain, transportation will be
provided.
Short talks will be given by Harry

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.
