Registration Change Asked
BX• Proposal
To Trustees
Is Postponed
Incomplete Records
Necessitate Delay
The proposal for continuance
of the student book exchang,e will
not be put before the College
board of trustees this week as was
previously announced, Robert Ga
briel, purchasing agent, said to
day.
He gave as the reason for this,
lack of a complete and accurate
financial record • and said that the
propoSal would be presented to
the board at a later date.
Gabriel explained that the pres
ent accounting system, . run by
students, was inadequate, and
that the BX board' of control did
not want to submit an incomplete
report to the College board of
rustees. They feel that merely- a
report on the approximate busi
ness of the BX during the past
year would not be satisfaCtory;
•New System
The BX will soon have an en
tirely new accounting procedure,
Gabriel said. This new system
will have a faculty advisor and
will be 4esigned to eliminate any
incomplete reports on the busi
ness done at the 4BX. This system
will have its report ready in
time for the meeting of the board
of trustees to be held here March
30, and the proposals for perman
ent operation of the BX will be
presented at that time.
Gabriel and Richard Schwei
ker, chairman of the exchange
board of control, had intended to
present this proposal at the an
nual meeting of the Cpllege board
of trustees at Harrisburg Satur
day. They. were to request per
mission for permanent operation
of the store, and to seek a _better
and larger location for the BX;
now located at the TUB.
Psychology Club
Newly elected officers for the
Psychology' Club are Edward
Mazeika, president; John P,asto
vic, vice-president; Naomi Win
penny Secretary; George Breh
men, treasurer.

STATE COLLEGE, PA,, . FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1950
`Plizim' Well-Acted,
Colotiful Fitititay:.
Players added another successful prpduction to their reper
toire when "Liliom" opened for a three night run at Schwab Audi
torium last night.
The legend which the group made very enjoyable, is a character
study; with a touch of fantasy, of Liliom,. (Chlrles Williams); a
young man who; is out of harmony with his environment. He is un
trained and can earn his living
only as a barker at. "a carousel.
Wheri.he .marries Julie, a .s . etvant
girl, (Sonja Tines) the owner of
the carousel (Geraldine Kassab)
fires him in. a jealous rage.
Julie's'. aunt grudgingly allows,
the couple to live with her for e
Liliom is unwilling 'to do any
work that he is capable .of and
unable to do any he likes to do.,
His wife's tears make him mist
erable, but being different from
most men, he reacts by hitting
her. Finally learning that she is
expecting a child, he plans-a rob
bery with a disreputable friend,
Fiscur (Tony Bowen). The rob
bery fails, and rather than be
captured Liliom commits suicide.
He is brought before a heavenly
tribunal and 16 years later is re
turned to earth to do one good
deed for his salvation. The end,
PSCA Plans
Basic plans have been formu
lated to give Joe College and
Janie Coed, who have similar
interests, the opportunity to
meet. How can this be done on
such a large campus? The an

Christian Association's date bur

next semester.
The idea has been under con
sideration for some time at the
College, and date .bureaus
now in operation at Carnegie
Tech. and other schools through
out the nation. PSCA member
Helen Dreher heads a committee,
consisting of members from var

role is excellent. The part calls
for a forceful character to whom
the rest of the cast is subordin
ate, and Williams successfully
manages to be brutal but like

is his annoying habit of defying
the law of gravity, when he. swag

otherwise good characterization.

to organize the bureau, it will
be necessary for each girl who
wishes to participate to fill out
a file card, giving her name and
other pertinent data plus detailed
information on her • interests.
These cards will be distributed
and collected through house
meetings in the dormitories, and
then filed at the PSCA office.
File cards will contain such in
terests as sports, topics of con
versation, dancing (all types),
hiking, movies, art, politics, bull
sessions, and anything else the
girls may care to add. The cards
will then be available to the

Cabinet Requests , Date Switch
Because of Athletic Schedule
All-College Cabinet last night approved a motion to send a
letter to Royal Gerhardt, dean of admissions, to change registration
dates from Feb. 10 and 11 to Feb. 13 and 14, or if that is impossible
to Feb. 9 and 10.
Thomas Morgan, Daily Collegian er.;.itor, made the proposal be
cause the dates set for registration conflict with four intercollegiate
sports events scheduled for Rec
reation Hall, the same day.
Registration takes two full
days and since the College is a
Member of athletic associations
;t would undoubtedly be unwise
to cancel the meets. Fencing
with Temple and wrestling:with
Syracuse is scheduled for 2 p.m.
J. V. boxing and varsity box
ing scheduled for 7 p.m. and 8:30
p.m..
Trustees Hold
Annual Meeting
In Harrisburg
The board of trustees of the
College will hold its annual meet
ing in Harrisburg today and to
morrow-,
The major question confronting
them will be that of a permanent
.
president for the College.
It was not certain yesterday.
whether the question would be
brought up, but James Milholland ;
acting president, said that he
thought it probably ' would be
discussed because it has' been
uppermost in the minds of the
trustees for some time;
He could not say whether any
action on the -.question nrobably
would • be taken:
Wilmer E. 'KenwOrthy, execu
tive assistant to the president,
said recently that he 'could not
conceive of a board meeting 'e
ing held at 'which the question
was not at least discussed.
Milholland arrived here.. yes

,and was at work during
the afernoon, conferring with
members of the administration
and preparing for the two-day
meeting. He, 'Kenworthy and
other administrative heads are
expected to leave dor the meeting

This is the first in a series of
concerts to be presented by Col

Concert Blue Band and the Col

In past years the symphony or

The number is then taken to the
per f Son in charge, who will then
tell him her name, address, and
phone number. The similar in
terests will be his excuse for
calling her even though • they
have never ' been introduced.

the file cards. The cost involVed,
among other -things, prohibits
their use.
"It is the opinion of many peo
ple who have worked on the pro
ject that the boy calling the girl
for the first time should make a
coke date to get acquainted on
a completely informal basis. It
should also be understood that
no one is obligated to make .a
date because she has her name
on file," stated Bill Brown, who
is in charge of publitity for 'the

By STAN DEGLER
It would be virtually impos
sible to hold either registration
or the athletic evehts anyplace
except in. Recreation Hall. Since
it 'takes five hours to erect the•
bleachers, the • sports events
could not be h.kld after regis
tration.
Cabinet unanimously approv
ed the plan of the seating com
mittee to rearrange student seat
ing at New Beaver Field. • The
plan would ' seat students on the
West side from the fifty-yard
line to the north around the
curve of the stands. The plan
must be adopted by the athletic
advisory - board if it is to be put
into effect. Student members of
the Board will propose the plan.
A $3OO loan to the freshman
clais for a dance was approved.
The plan for service keys to :be
awarded, to deserving inembers
of Cabinet-appointed committees
was passed. The plan will cost
about $l5O.
• Robert Davis, reporting for, the
new dormitory committee, pro
posed that a representative be
sent to the meeting of the Board
of Trustees in Harrisburg. George
Donovan, director of associated
student activities, and Pearl' 0.
Weston, dean of women, com- •
tnented unfavorably on the idea.
The Campus Chest project of
National Student Association
was approved by Cabinet, after
presentation by Chairman Joel
Bachman. The plari provides for
a unified financial drive for var

others. The only objections rais-,
ed were to the provision for
