Cabinet To Act On Ring Design
Cabinet Backs Seni
Will Go Limit
To Reverse
Present Policy
New Proposal May Go
Before Trustee Board
• All-College Cabinet decisively
put itself on record as wanting
upperclassmen to live in the new
west dormitoriei, at its last
meeting, and told its dorm corn
mitteemen it would "back them
to the hilt" in seeking a reversal
of College dorm policy.
At present, the College plans
to house . 1,000 freshman men and
about. 650 upperclassmen in the
new dorm—Tri-dorm area next
fall. The decision by .the. College
earlier prompted creation of the
student dorm-investigating corn
' mittee by—Cabinet.
/ Ted::-Allen, all-College presi
dent, pointed out that until now
Cabinet had never backed "in
black and white" the committee's
views about who should occupy
• the new dorins. "We created the
committee only to investigate
possibilities of seeking a change
in dorm plansi" he said. , "The
committee, headed by Robert
Keller, has investigated and be

assigned all 1650, spaces in the
west dorms. Cabinet now has un
animously' backed that view."
Keller States View
At the Cabinet meeting, Kel
ler reiterated that "the entire
work of the committee hinges
on what points haven't been pre
sented 'to. the 'Board of Trustees
and what can: noww be presented
concerning new-dorm occu
pancy."
"A strong point," he said, "is
the'fact that when the College
decided , who would be housed in
the west dorms, nobody consulted
those students who would be di
rectly concerned—upperclass in
dependent men living in: Tri
dorms, Nittany-Pol lo c k and
downtown."
He added that .the committee

Allen Invites Student
Attendance at Meeting
Ted Allen, All-College presi
dent, yesterday invited students
to attend an open meeting of All-
College Cabinet in 121 Sparks at
8 o'clock tonight, when a new
ring design will be up for adop
tion as the official Penn State
class ring. He said that, although
all Cabinet meetings are open,
"we are making it a point this
time to invite all interested stu
dents;since the new ring will re
place all other Penn State ring
designs if we adopt it tonight.
"Since we're meeting in 121
Sparks," he added, "this will also
give more students a chance to
see how their Cabinet works."
Last week, Charles Beatty, ring
committee chairman, reported
that his group had studied a num
ber of ring designs submitted by
sever al companies, suggested
changes, and chose • a final design
prepared by the L. G. Balfour Co.
Students To Order
• If Cabinet adopts the ring as
the official school ring tonight,
students will be able to order it
immediately, according to. Allen.
Negotiations ar e uriderway—
pending tonight's .action —for that
firm's manufacture of the ring,
he added.
Also up for consideration at to
night's meeting will be a recom
mendation by the ring committee
that the ring be limited in sale to
students of at least sixth semester.
Beatty's committee has also rec
ommended that a group be cre
ated to draw up official d^_scrip
tion of the ring, to pc nit any
company that desires to copy and
sell the ring.
Other,
,companies who submitted
designs to the committee were
Dieges and Clust, New York City,
and Loren 'Murchison and Co., a
jobber for Herff-Jones Co. Apple
and Co. of Lancaster has ex
pressed a desire to make the new
ring, according to James Balog,
ring committee member and
chairman of an earlier Cabinet
committee which investigated the
possibility of adopting an offi
cial school ring. None has ever
been adopted officially by the
College.
