Cabinet Debates
Voting Privileges
11211 ES
A propOsal to give WSGA and
the Judicial committee voting
power in the student government
was discussed by members of the
All-College Cabinet at a meeting
Tuesday.
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.-

Players Stage
'Brother Rat'
Player's production of "Broth
er Rat," to be held in Schwab
Auditorium April 13 and 14, will
be unique in that for the first
time in five years a play requiring
three sets will be presented. 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
