Since elections were held this week and new representatives were elected to Cabinet, the gov erning body took no official ac tion. However, the proposal was inserted in the minutes to be brought up at the next meeting when the new members take of fice. Revision of the All-College Cabinet Constitution will be con sidered when the new Cabinet meets, pointed out William Kel ley, acting chairman of Cabinet. He said that the matter of . WSGA and: ludiCiar May be* brought up at. that time. —' • - • The debate began when Mich ael Lynch, sixth semester pres ident, asked why the Tribunal chairman _has a vote on Cabinet since he is appointed to the post Eby the All-College president. The discussion that followed brought out the fact that the Ju dicial chairman does not have a vote on Cabinet. Judd Healy, fifth semester president, said that if Judicial was represented on Cabinet there could be closer cooperation between that group and Tribunal in enforcing fresh man customs and other regula tions. Panhellenic President Jeannie Weaver and James Hugo, IFC president, proposed that WSGA also be given a vote in the stu dent gOvernment. The former also explained the relationship be tween WSGA and the Judicial committee. The suggestions were discussed and comment was favorable. Miss Charlotte •E. Ray, dean of women, also spoke about the Women's Student Government Association and its functions. Lynch's quegtion concerning Triib u n a 1 went unanswered. Chairman Kelley said the matter will be taken up at the next meeting. Governor Marlin Urges Increased College Funds An: increase in the state appro priation for the College is being strongly urged by Governor Ed ward Martin. Bills concerning this and other educational appropria tions will probably go. on the floor for action next week, accor ding to Chairman Norman Wood (R-Lancaster) of the House Appro priations Committee. Martin recommends that the state aid to the College be in- Cipased to $5,669,000 as compared to $5,100,000 for the current bi ennium, Other recommendations included $1,650,000 for the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, $1,376,- .000 for the University of Pitts burgh, and $1,250,000 for Temple University.- GIVE to the RED CROSS PRICE FIVE CENTS ned on Cabinet by his running dged out Key candidate Ed Carson for the secretary-trea surership, in a tight 72' to 71 race. In another close finish, Mary "Pete" Faloon, Key, defeated Nit tany's Vaughn Stapleton by a 53 to 52 •count for the seventh sem ester presidency. Ruth Anders, Key,. achieved, a 58 to 47 victory over Vera Owens, Nittany, in the secretary-treasurer contest in the same semester. In a campaign in which 1358 out of a possible total of 2627 sec ond through eighth semester ci- Vilian students voted, the Elec tions Committee imposed only one Penalty for infraction of elec tion rules. The penalty was a two-vote deduction from the to tals of all Key Party candidates and was inmosed because of the substitution of Stan Bernheim for Pat Brennan for the sixth semes ter presidency at a later date than that allowed by election regulati ons.

In addition, lighting will .be difficult because shading and lighting ef fects must be achieved for inter iors and exteriors. "However," Director Tucker said, •`Brother Rat,' is such a good play that the technical dif ficulties. are being overlooked in order to take on the show." The sets have been designed by scene designer Mrs. Dorothy B. Scott, assisted by Eleanor Zihs and Nancy Benshoff. As Mrs. Scott explained, not only has the play three settings but they must be shifted rapidly, because action moves swiftly from one to another of the seven scenes. Thus the sets had to be constructed so that they could be shifted quickly, without trouble. There will be a setting showing the interior of a V.M.I. barracks, one in a courtyard outside bar racks, and another on the front porch of a private home on Offi cers Row. V.M.I. has been- contacted for the cadet uniforms to be used in the play, and costume houses in (Continued on page seven)
