Voting Change
WASHINGTON A congress
man warned yesterday that the
Ku Klux Klan or the communists
might elect a U.S. president if a
proposed change is made in the
election system.
Representative Wright Patman
of Texas referred to a proposed
constitutional amendment that
would replace the electoral col
lege with an automatic division
of state electoral votes on the
basis of popular balloting. Thus,
a mere electoral plurality would
be sufficient to elect a president.
Patman declared the danger is
that numerous minority parties
might spring up, dividing the
vote.

for the military developed yes

ice Subcommittee.

per cent for one-star generals

for the lower grade enlisted men.

Tribunal Starts
'Getting Tough'
With Violators
Tribunal secretary James Rich
ards yesterday issued a warning
that violators of campus regula
tions will be severely penalized
for failure to cooperate with fu
ture summonses.
"We are starting a 'get tough'
policy in regard to students who
consistently ignore notices to
appear before Tribunal," Rich
ards said.
His statement came on the
heels of Monday night's meeting
in which three traffic violators
were fined one dollar each and
several others were let off with
warnings.
One of the cases which prompt
ed the Tribunal sfecretary to
issue his warning to future vio
lators was that of a student at
last week's hearings who was
brought before the judicial body
for his second, third, fourth, and
fifth offenses.
The guilty student was fined
four dollars. Under present reg
ulations, however, he could be
fined up to a total of $lB.
Richards added that students
who flagrantly ignore a Tribunal
summons may be taken before
Dean of Men Arthur R. Warnock.

Country's Father

Work
Haven't you heard? Well, once
upon a time there was a man
named George Washington. . .
Didn't you send him a card?
Many of us probably were
greeted with something to this
effect as we stood in the State
College Post Office yesterday
wih our laundry cases, staring at
the closed parcel post windows.
We noticed that red "22' on the
calendar but just didn't connect
the Father of Our Country with
soiled linen. Let's hope the profs
whose classes we missed through
the delay can see how it hap
pened.
