Independents Act
On Social Plans
Discussion of facilities and gen
eral plans for. co-operative social
activities was the principle busi
ness at a meeting of social chair
men of independent groups called
by Eldon T. Shaut '42, MIA presi
dent.
The girls all declared that ,they
were willing to work with the
men's groups in building a pro
gram of events to fill the void left
in the independent student's school
life by the absence of a student
union center.
Frazier Hall where 20 transfers
live invited a group of men to a
:Hallowe'en party this week-end.
Their representative stressed the
fact that although they had been
here about six weeks, they were
still comparative strangers.
Plans were made to continue
these meetings of the social chair
men for the next few weeks on
Tuesdays at 7p. m. At these meet
ings definite plans will be made
for exchange affairs since each
group now knows what the others
want to do and what facilities are
available.

Proposed By
Two Students Put
On Year's Probation
A year's probation for the two
students accused of mixed drink
ing was announced last night by
Raymond F. Leffler '42, Tribunal
chairman.
The seven-man board repri
manded the two juniors for their
actions which were described ,a;
breaking the honor code of ethic::
at Penn State, and told them that
any recurrence would probably
bring dismissal from schbol.
"This power, seldom used by
Tribunal, is exercised only in
cases similar to these recent ones,"
Leffler said.
The two students involved were
requested to report to Tribunal
every four weeks.
Following this decision, Leffler
requested the presence of a repre
sentative of each hat society at
the meeting to be held in the
Alumni office tonight to try recent
freshman violators.

Cabinet
Action On Plan
Postponed One Week
Action on the constitutional
amendment that would require
auditing of all student activity ac
counts' by Student Union was post
poned for a week by All-College
Cabinet last night, pending com
ments by the student body.
Under, the proposed amendment,
four organizations—lFC, IMA,
PSCA and Panhel—will be re
quired to submit their accounts
to the student accounting office
under the supervision of Student
Union. At present, these four or
ganizations are the only ones that
dO not have their accounts audited
in this way. •
Ross B. Lehman '42, in voicing
the opinion of the committee that
proposed the amendmerft, said,
"Funds controlled by student ac
tivity groups are independent of
either administrative or student
government supervision, and are
not to be confused with the money
controlled by the Interclass Fin
ance Board, which has charge of
administering funds received from
student fees."
The committee in charge of by
laws and amendments, which of
fered this proposed amendment,
includes Lehman, editor. !of the
Daily Collegian; Jean Babcock
'42, WSGA president; A. Joith
Currier '42, co-president of PSCA;
Gerald F. Doherty '42, All-College
vice-president; H. Leonard Krouse
'42, senior "'class -' preSicient; and
Elden , T;s-Shaut '42,
IMA :: presi
dent.
Following is the complete
amendment:
1. A student activity shall be
defined i as an activity whose mem
bers are students and whose funds
are derived all or in part from
student sources.
2. All members of Cabinet shall
represent student activities.
3. All student activities with
representation on All-College Cab
inet shall have their funds audit
ed through the student activities
system under Student Union.
A by-law, authorizing the ap
pointment of the All-College presi
dent as an ex-officio member of
all student activity groups, was
accepted by Cabinet. Four by
