Cabinet to Check LA Elections
- Charges of fraud in the recent Liberal Arts Btu
.lient, Council elections were brought at Thuriday
' , bight's Cabinet meeting, when it was stated by one
Cabinet. Member that 'students from Schools other
-than Liberal Arts voted in that School's elections.
Although Fred Kecker, president of the Liberal
Art - Student Council, expressed doubt that such
i',•aud was evident, a Cabinet committee was ap
i.oitted to investigate the matter and to report at
ihe,next meeting of Cabinet.
Cabinet also granted the Senior Ball Com
mittee permission to spend up to $4OOO to
:secure a good band for the Senior Ball.
Some Cabinet members questioned the advisa
-I..ility of securing a band at so high a figure. John
Matternas, chairman of the Senior Ball Commit
tee,_ said that since this would be the first really
topnotch band available for a College dance in re
cent years, his committee wished to take advan
tage of this opportunity to secure good entertain
w.ent for the students.
Charles Pfleegor, senior class president. reported
on the progress of the committee which is investi
p.ating possibilities of brightening the commence - -

Thursday night, not last night as stated in the Col
legian. It is true that Dr. Pundt went into the
service (in 1942) as a private and that he rose from
the ranks but he assures us that he was only a
major when he was discharged and not a major
general.
Collegian generosity went further and appointed
Pundt military governor of Bavaria; the true facts
are that he was in charge of educational and te
ligious affairs under the military goVernor of
Bavaria.
We hope this retraction will clear all doubt from
the minds of any future biographers of this bril
liant but modest historian.
advancement in, the date of this year's commence
ment program, but recommended' that the matter
be brought up again next year in time - to make
possible changes in the College calendar.' •
No further attempt will be made to eliminate
final examinations far•. seniors, since Senate has
vetoed, such proposals previously, and has ex
pressed its disapproval of such a step.
Since an outstanding speaker will speak at
the baccalaureate sermon to be held Sunday,
June 8, it was not felt desirable to secure an
outside speaker for commencement itself, be
cause an additional speaker would prolong the
already letigthy program.
Albert Green, reporting on . the possibility of
limiting attendance at Rec Hall athletic events,
said he had contacted Neil Fleming, graduate man
ager of 'athletics, who said. steps will be taken to
avoid overcrowding of Ree. Hall.
Charles Pfleegor said today that the "keep off
the grass" campaign would begin today, with signs
about campus and publicity in Collegian.
All-College President Robert Foote read a letter
from Janet Taylor, chairman of the suggestion box
committee, who said that the suggestion box will
be at the Student Union desk at all times. How
ever, it will not be placed on the counter, and stu
dents having suggestions will give them to the
person behind the desk. •
William Keefauver, of the Blue Band, pre
sented a request from the band that Cabinet
help the band in securing new uniforms-, since
the old uniforms are now inadequate. He
recommended that the same procedure be fol
lowed as that by which the band secured its
last set of uniforms. Then the students were
assessed fifty cents per semester for two se
mesters (in their fees). This paid for the
uniforms.
In order to thus assess the students, the question
must`be voted on at the next All-College elections,
after which the Trustees must approve the assess
ment also.
After these steps have been taken, the College
would advance the amount necessary for - immedi
ate purchase of the uniforms, so that they may be
ready for next fall's marching season. ' -
Russell• Smiley reported that the All-College bul
letin board is under construction, and the Grounds
and Buildings department plans to place it in its
permanent location when the spring planting is
done.
Martin Light, reporting from AVC's com
mittee investigating racial discrimination in
State College, said that more signed resolu
tions have been secured by the committee.
AVC will also•cooperate with Ake Penn: State
Christian Association, which.plans.to set..up a
permanent race relations committee
AVC will meet with PSCA tonight to set up the
committee, to include an AVC representative, CA
representative, negro representative, townsperson,
and faculty representative.
. Light explained that the AVC committee will
cooperate with the CA committee, but feels itself
pledged to withdraw and continue alone should
any delays arise which it feels unnecessary.
Fred Kecker, parliamentarian, reported a tech
nical flaw in Article 12, Section 2 of the All-Col
lege Constitution, which 'is headed "ratification,"
but in reality refers to initiation. He suggested that
the amendment be revised for clarity.
Branigan read changes in the All College elec
tions code, and stated that All-College elections
will be held in the Armory from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
April 30 and May 1. Cabinet accepted the revised
election code.

The Iron Curtain?
TO THE EDITOR: The rec.-_ , ht publication of cen
sorship rules dictated by Pollock Circle Council,
seems to be a very ill-advised move. It seems pretty
obvious that these rules could be used as political
instruments of great power.
Realizing that unfortunate events occurred in
Pollock Circle during last semester's elections, we
Can see no reason for such drastic measures for
protection of the social and cultural well-being of
Pollock Circle.
The leaders of Pollock Circle are certainly
entitled to lobby for favorable legislation, but
this method smells like an old and very dis
agreeable stand-by.
At least, let the Council define these rules a little
more clearly and state exactly how far:they apply.
Otherwise, I suggest our political leaders take
such action as is necessary to prpveht personal am
bition .frorn. crowding Pollock Circle . still farther
