AAUP Petitions Congress
For Hatch Act Change
A petition to Congress that
will attempt to gain permission
for College employees to parti
cipate in borough government
was adopted at a meeting of
the American Association of
University Professors held in
the Sandwich Shop last night.
This action was brought
about by an apparent discrim
ination in the present Hatch
Act which restricts employees
of State-appropriated schools
from being active in local gov
ernment. It has been estimat
ed that about 70 per cent of
State College voters are Col
lege employees.
Andrew-W. Case, assistant pro
fessor of fine arts ; was elected

CAA Students
Eligible In Draft
- CAA students cannot be granted
deferment in the draft, Clarence
A. Dykstra, national selective
service director, said yesterday be
cause the act prohibits deferment
octupatioriar - grotrps: -----4---- • --
However, Dykstra said that local
boards can grant deferment if, in
their opinion, students are pre
paring for an occupation necessary
to "national health, safety and in
terest."
Students taking CAA instruction
can have their flying instructors
submit information to the local
-board which may result in defer
ment, he suggested. Dykstra em
phasized that no aviation school
can guarantee postponement for
service for its students.
Institutions, training pilots or
mechanics, can help local boards
by submitting information on men
enrolled, he said.
Froth Christmas Issue
Out Soon, Is Rumor
Being whispered about campus
is, the rumor that the Christmas
issue of Froth may make its ap
pearance soon.
Don West '4l, the mag's optimis
tic editor, hints that the issue may
even come out before school closes
for the holidays. He hopes!
changing their customs and man
ner of living, and that the natives
of Latin America resented this
very much.
"We can not hope to become
friends•with the natives, of South
America if we treat them as in
feriors," de cla r e d Dr. Gray.
"They must be regarded as equals
to attain any political or economic
successes with them."
"President Roosevelt is well
liked. in South America," stated
Dr. Gray. "With South Am
erica cut off from Europe as the
result of the war, we must re
double our efforts to straighten out
our difficulties with the Latin Am
erican nations and come to a real
understanding with them."

President Will Enforce
Penalty Within House
Penalties to members of the Phi
Kappa Sigma social fraternity
who participated in a mixed
drinking party there last Saturday
night were meted out by John C.
Good '4l, president of the house,
last night at the request of Inter
fraternity Council Judiciary
Board.
The case was the first which
had been brought up under the re
vised dating code which IFC
pledged itself to enforce when it
was adopted last October.
(In accord with a pledge made
to Phi Kappa Sigma the name of
the fraternity was not divulged by
the three-man Judiciary Board.
However, the name was given to
Collegian by one of the "Four In
terested Students" who had re
ported the violation in an anony
mous letter.)
The penalty, it is understood,
will apply to the seven or eight
members of the fraternity who
participated in the party. They
will lose all social privileges until
Christmas. •
The following report on the
violation was issued by the IFC
Judiciary Board:
"The Faculty Judiciary Com
mittee has investigated a com
plaint concerning the violation of
the dating code and the fraternity
has agreed to discipline those in-
, orvecriir •cr
pension of social privileges for a
specified period.
"Sin'ce this is the first offense
with which the committee has
dealt, and since there are mitigat
ing circumstances, the name of the
fraternity concerned is being
withheld as are the names of the
violators.
"However, if the incident does
not act as a deterrent in the ac
tions of the group concerned or on
other groups, full publicity • con
cerning dating violations will be
made in the future."
