business manager of the outfit,
after convincing the park man
ager that he could draw larger
crowds than the square dance out
fit that has been appearing.
What makes the job unique in
Penn State history is the regular
broadcast from 10:30 to 11 p..m.
from the park by direct wire
through the local station, which
has also put the . Aristocrats under
contract. No doubt this is one of
the juiciest plums ever .landed by

The Aristocrats, while strictly a
sideline to

and the boys on the financial side.
Les has a job at KDR where he
lives, and had another on campus
until recently.
Odd as it seems, Les is an en

having transferred from Liberal

PSCA's Letter
While . contesting Cabinet's de
sire to make the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, PSCA
agreed at last night's All-College
Cabinet to appoint three mem
bers from their organization to
serve in the six-man investigation
plan as proposed by President
Ralph D. Hetzel last week.
Gerald B. IM. Stein '44, Jean E.
Hershberger '43 were the only
two definite appointments made at
PSCA's Cabinet meeting previous
to the All-College meeting last
night. The other appointment
will be made some time today.
Final paragraph of a PSCA let
ter addressed to Jerome H. Blakes
lee '43, All-College president,
stated that "before the conferences
of the group of six begin, it is our
judgment that in the interest of
fair play the action of All-College
Cabinet of June 30 approving
amendments to the Constitution
be rescinded."
Blakeslee, in a personal reply to
Stein, PSCA's Cabinet represen
tative, said, "Fair play has pre
vailed on our part since the issue
came up. Rescinding amendments
to the constitution which we know
are justifiable, is not one of the
rules of democracy. Furthermore,
that is only PSCA's judgment."
After the reading of the PSCA
presentation and Blakeslee's re
ply, a lengthy discussion was held
in which both sides agreed that
the fundamental issue at stake is
whether Cabinet has- the power to
make PSCA -comply even if the
Constitution is fool proof. After
the second reading of the amend
ment, 'Cabinet approved the Soph
Hop budget and inspected the
