OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE Advisers' Group Hits IFC's Plan To Pay Officers An overwhelming opposition of the Fraternity Counselors’ As sociation to Interfratemity Council’s plan to pay its presi dents was voiced yesterday by the president of the Association, William C. Bramble, in a letter to the Collegian. Calling the plan “a bribe to honesty”, the president pointed out that the counselors were in favor of the general outlines of IFC’s proposed constitution but had voted against compensation for officers, 27-3. At the same time, Mr. Bramble said, they voted 26-4 in favor of a cash compensation to the chairman of Iqterfraternity Ball. “The counselors as a group place themselves at odds with a philosophy current on campus which justifies, or attempts to justify, compensation to colleg iate officers elected to certain positions of honor and responsi bility,” Mr. Bramble wrote. “This is particularly true in con nection with officers elected by the fraternity group to guide their coordinated activities and to represent them on various campus committees. It is be lieved that good fraternity lead ers can be found who will serve the best interests of that group .yyithouk the. aid of cash compensations.” Enemy Teams Sweep Sports Tripleheader Last night, 6,000 fans jammed every corner of Recreation Hall to see Penn State teams lose three matches on a bitter sports day" during which only the freshman basketball team, open ing its season at Bucknell, was victorious, 42-31.

Highlight of the night for Penn State fans was Paul Scally’s long hoped-for 175-pound boxing vic tory oyer . Americo Woyciesjes, eastern champion for 1939 and 1940, who barely beat Scally in the title match here last year. Scally, who came down from heavyweight just to meet Woy ciesjes again, won every round. Woyciesjes’ only other defeat in three years was in the finals of the 1939 national championships.
