Quest Continues For Ideas on SU Solicitation of ideas on the na ture of the permanent Student Union building is continuing, said James MacCallum, Under graduate Student Union Commit_ tee chairman. "Although the organization of the function and structure of the new building is well advanced, many revisions resulting from criticism, suggestions, and exper ience have yet to be considered," he said. Need for a permanent union, rather than the removal of pres sure for one, has been demon strated by the enthusiasm with which the student body has ac cepted the TUB, MacCallum stressed. He pointed out that certain fac tions consider the TUB, as a stop gap, pressure-removing measure, more an evil than a good. He cited the continued work of the College SU committee as evi dence that plans for the perma nent structure have not been shelved. At the last meeting of that group, a suggested list of func tions was submitted to Roy F. Larson, College architect, and he is now in a position to lay out tentative plans for the new union. MacCallum said. The undergraduate committee is an integral part of the College group, and the main body has been most receptive to ideas and suggestions from the student committee, he stressed.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1948-STATE COJJYGE, PENNA Elliot Lawrence Military Ball Stars Lawrence Invitations for the annul Mili tary Ball to be held at Rec Hall on March 19. are now being clis irill_.uted by the cadets and mid shipmen of the College ROTC units. The ball, a formal affair. will herald the second season that Elliot Lawrence and his orchestra has played for the joint Army ,nd Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps' dance. co-publicity chair men Thomas Botsford and Arn,. Id Gerton said yesterday. Lawrence can be remembered for his different approach to or chestrations Where he combines the run-of-the-mill styles of play ing with his own ideas. He was the first dance-band leader to combine symphonic wind instru ments with the regular instru ments. His "woodwindette" sec tion consists of bassoon. Engl:sh French horn, and oboes along with a clarinet. His aim is to get more classical sounds into his numbers. Since it is a formal military af fair. the cadets, midshipmen and firmer enlisted men and Reserve officers are reminded that the wearing of the dress uniform is authorized by the Navy and War d.3partments. Col. Ben-Hur Chas taine pointed out. It is also appropriate to wear miniatures of authorized decora t.ons. medals and awards on for mal evening attire. Colonel Chas taine said that due to the non availability of these miniatures customarily w,,rn. it will be proper to wear the regular ribbons if so Jesired.

AA Board Adopts Ticket Priorities Paid-up members of the Penn State Alumni Association will be given first priority for football tickets sold off campus under a new distribution system which has been adopted by the Athletic Advisory Board. All mail applications will be limited to four tickets, with a provision that the College re serves the right to cut orders to two tickets. This is to eliminate a repetition of last year when some alumni ordered several hundred tickets each. The regulation does not affect student sales which will continue to be handled by the Athletic As sociation. The Board has also written a letter of censure to Charles Wer ner, track coach, for disobeying a ruling of the Senate Committee on Athletics which stated that Jerry Karver was not to repre sent the College at the Sugar Bowl Tournament last fall. The Board's policy has been to turn down invitations to athletic events which are discritnnatory.
