STATE COLLEGE Board Of Directors Appeals Case To Committee On Student Welfare Last night's brief All-College Cabinet meeting started quietly but during the brief session a letter contesting the power of Cabinet to order PSCA to have their funds handled through the Associated Student Activities office and, also, contesting the power of Cabinet to terminate PSCA's partici pation on the Cabinet was presented by Gerald B. M. Stein '44, secretary of the PSCA Student Cabinet. Stein's explanation of the functional procedure of the drafting of the letter had involved a meeting of the PSCA's Board of Directors, who recommended an appeal to the Sen ate Committee on Student Welfare for clarification of the PSCA-Cabinet squabble over whether a detailed' accounting and auditing of the PSCA books would be required for them to retain their representation on Cabinet.
