Committee To Probe
Coeds' Cheerleading
All-College President William Lawless last night appointed a
three-member committee to investigate the question of coed cheer
leaders in general, and specifically, the possibility of coed cheerlead
ers performing at the Pitt game.
The 90-minute Cabinet meeting also brought appointment of a
committee to probe winter recreation facilities, approval of a com-
plimentary dance ticket list, and
appointment of Jane Dinger to
replace Virginia Fetter as junior
class secretary-treasurer.
The cheerleader committee con
sists of Milton Stone, Horace Ash
enfelter, and William Prosser,
who earlier was seated as repre
sentative of the Association of
Independent Men's Council.
Prolonged discussion preceded
naming of the committee. Joseph
Colone, athletic association pres
ident, said College tradition
called for male cheerleaders, but
Horace Ashenfelter said that
students should have coed cheer
leaders if they so desire.
Jack Fast was naffied chair
man of the committee to look into
winter recreation, including the
status of the Ski Lodge, de
stroyed by fire last year.
A complimentary dance ticket
list of 49 names of student lead
ers was accepted, with the addi
tion of Theodore Allen, acting
sophomore class president. Tick
ets to three dances per year are
presented.
Miss Dinger's appointment to
the junior class post was made
by Junior Class President Rob
ert Wine, since Miss Fetter is
remaining at home because of
illness in her family.

Higgins, still in a jovial mood

Such fantasies wiPi become

Lines from the Lion
Dear Gang,
Am reading a few lions
about the contract offered to
Falcone, Penn co-captain, by
the Philadelphia Eagles. They
think he's one of the best
crawlers in the business after
they saw him go across the
goal line on his hands and
knees against us last Saturday.
Another item here might be
of interest to you. It says that
the city council held a special
meeting to consider a budget
raise for their police depart
ment. It seems that it cost
them quite a bit for tile 100
policemen and 25 plainclothes
men who were stationed in
the Hotel Ben Franklion over
the weekend.
This place sort of grows on
you especially if you don't
take a shower for awhile. I
saw a guy carry a dozen
Froths under his arm while I
was walking over to watch
Temple practice, and so* I
asked him why he was carry
ing so many copies.
"You know, puthy cat," he
said, "there is a paper short
age here and this Froth is bet
ter than any Montgomery
Ward catalog I ever used."
I've got to hurry now and
get a few Owl feathers for my
trophy case.
For the glory,
'TUB LIKIK.
