PSCA Loses Cabinet Vote
Retain floor Rights;
New Amendments Read
Releasing a report that threw
All-College Cabinet into "the
middle of a muddle," the •six-man
joint committee of Cabinet mem
bers and PSCA representativias
recommended. that in the future
,PSCA shall have a delegated ex
officio member, with right of voice
but without the right of vote, on
All-College Cabinet.
The committee also requested
the' continuance of the PSCA's an
nual practice of sending a sum
marized version of their budget
to The Daily Collegian for publi
cation.
In essence, the acceptance of
the recommendatiOn by Cabinet
means that PSCA will be able to
present their side on student prob
lems, but will not•have a definite
vote on student problems because
they are set up on a corporation
basis and have members from fa
culty, alumni, and Centre County
groups, as well as from the stu
dent body.
Following this drastic change,
Cabinet rejected the recently pro
posed amendment that required
all student activities to comply
with the "auditing and account
inephrase as well as all parts of
the Constitution in order' to have
a vote on Cabinet because PSCA's
president was included in the. liit
of representatives.
This rejection was mad 6 affer a
lengthy discussion In which the
delay ' necessitated by a new
amendment was pointed out- by
John B. McCue '43 and 'Howard J.
Merrill ''43.
After this Donald W. Davis '43
read an amendment for the first
time stating that to 'be a student
activity, a group must have its
funds audited and accounted by
the Associated Student Activities
office and derive all or part of
these funds from student sources.

'44 Blazer Committee
To Adopt Plan
For New Coats
This year's Junior Blazers will
not be the same kind as the ones
worn by the class—el '43,
.it was
decided at a meeting of the Blazer
committee yesterday.
Adoption of last year's Blazers
had been proposed because some
still remain in stock. "The very
fact that they have not been
sold, however, indicates that they
are not popular with the students,"
Larry T. Chervenak '44, commit
tee chairman, stated last night in
explaining the committee's action.
A proposal to have the tradi
tional junior class coat made of
the • same material as the Lion
Coat, but with a distinguishing
insignia, is still being considered
by the committee, according to
Chervenak.
The type of coat favored by the
Junior Blaztt• committee, one of
white flannel• with blue insignia,
is still being blocked by lack of
the required materials.
