Two Constitution .
Changes Proposed
Two amendments to the All-College constitution were proposed
by Emerson Jones, all-College secretary-treasurer at Tuesday night's
cabinet meeting.
The first - amendment concerned article seven, section three,
erititled: "Payment of Bills." The section as it stands reads: No bill
that is not a part of a regular student government activity and pro
vided for by budget shall be paid
until it haS been referred to the
finance board for their recom
mendation and approved by• cab
inet
Jones proposed that. the word
expenditure be substituted for
bill. This would Mean that any
body seeking to spend student
funds controlled by cabinet would
have to receive cabinet approval
before, not after the money, was
spent and a bill received.;
The
.The second amendment' deals
with article seven, section five:
this section reads: the accounts
and records of the treasurer shall
be audited- annually by the col
lege auditing department.
By his amendment to this sec
tion Jones would add another
sentence to read, "The fiscf,l year
shall end June 30."
"This amendment," Jones said,
"will eliminate confusion which
has resulted in the past wheri
newly elected cabinet and stu
dent council officers assumed
their dUties without the accounts
of the previous year having been
settled."
Cabinet will discuss these Pro
posed amendments at its next
two meetings before they can be
voted on ,according to the provi
sions of the All-College constitu
tin. A three-fourths vote is neces
sary for passage.
Customs Lasted
Longer In '45
Customs lasted 51 days in 1945;
the last year freshmen went
through customs at Penn State.
This year, customs last only 41
days.
Then, as this year, green dinks
and black ties were the order of
the day, but in 1945 frosh also
had to wear white socks, round
green name cards, and they had
to wear coats to classes for the
entire period of customs. And the
black ties were not bow ties, but
long black knit ones.
Customs started on Nov. 1 and
were lifted- on Dec. 21; just be
fore the start of the Christmas
vacation.. An interesting varia
tion, however, was the fact _ that
the dating customs lasted for only
three weeks. At that time, both
frosh men's and women's dating
restrictions were lifted.

WSGA Votes
To Elect Dorm
Exe. Committee
The WSGA House of repre
sentatives voted Thursday night
that the president of each wom
en's housing unit in the dormi
tories hold elections for an execu
tive committee and establish one
definite time a month for a house
meeting.
The executive committee would
consist of a representative from
each floor or wing of the dorm.
She will be elected by the wom
en in her group and will repre
.sent them ;at various meetings
held during the month. This will
eliminate the necessity of having
frequent large house meetings.
Members of the House and Sen
ate are going to tour the Foods
building this morning from 10 un
til 12 o'clock. Miss Mildred A.
Baker, director of food service at
the College, will act as guide for
the women.
The House considered the
WSGA retreat which is to be held
at the PSC4 cabin sometime in
November. Suggestions . were
made as to what topics should be
discussed at the annual retreat.
The main discussion subject will
be the constitutions of the various
women's organizations and their
possible revisions. Members of
WSGA, WRA, Pan-Hellenic and
Leonides will participate 'in the
retreat. The definite date and
plans will be announced later.
5 Co-eds Join
Cheerleaders
The five woman cheerleaders
who, performed at the football
game Saturday will also perform
a,t the remaining home games, Ru
dolPh Valentino, head cheerlead
er announced yesterday.
The five: Michaline Claysmith,
Mary Foucart, Polly Potter, Cook
ie Weber, and Jeanne Wiener are
members of Thespians, and were
darlcers-in "Some Punkin."
,They
were the first woman cheerlead
ers to perform at the College since
1948
They cMered Saturday with
only four hours practice, Valen
tino said, and should be even bet
ter next time. Their appearance
was given approval by alumni,
and woman cheerleaders may be
a permanent fixture in the future.
Valentino explained the deci
sion to use women was not made
until last week, so he didn't have
time to call for tryouts, and had
to use people he knew - could per
form well, so he chose Thespian
members.
Owen Wilkinson, o n e of the
four gymnasts who performed at
the game, broke his wrist doing
a high stand in one of the first
acts and will probably have to be
replaced for the last games. Her
bert Arnold, was named a cheer
leader to replace one who quit.

La Vie 'First Class'
The 1950 La Vie, Penn State senior yearbook, has been award
ed 3130 points in gaining a first class honor rating awarded by the
National Scholastic Press association.
A total of 3200 points are needed for All-American rating in
the class in which the Penn State book is judged, Fred L. Kildow,
lirectors of the association, said in notifying the La Vie of its award.
The judges were high in their
praise for the 1950 book. rating
it superior in personality, and
classing it as "a beautiful book
with strong points that are out
standing."
The judges praised as "really
tops, superb in photography, pro
fessionally artistic in composi
tion, and superior in technical
quality" the series of full-page
black and white sub-dividers.
End sheets, title page, pictures
illustrating classroom and lab
oratory work, group pictures in
the organiaztions section, and the
copy and presentation of records
in the sports section received
superior rating. The technical
production was termed as excel
lent.
Several factors which cost the
book points in the judging were
the lack of a clearly-defined
theme, lack of campus views that
could be considered adequate for
Penn State, lack of underclass
coVerage, non-uniformity of
background on senior pictures,
insufficieht candid pictures, and
overprinting of type on color ma
terial in some cases.
The 1950 LaVie' was edited by
Raymon S. Saul, of Hazleton, and
Carl R. Kohler, of Williamsport,
was art editor.
Shrine Escapes
Annual Painting
For the first time since its erec
tion in 1941, the Lion shrine this
year escaped being smeared with
paint for a home football game
with Temple.
Possiby the cleanest adornment
on campus because of the usual
scrubbings that are necessary af
ter home games, the Lion was
saved from further embarrass
ment this year only through the
efforts of some Pi Lambda Phi
fraternity pledges who were as
signed to guard it.
A contingent of Temple men
was' sent here to paint the shrine,
but • didn't attempt it because of
the guard, Captain Philip Mark
of the campus patrol told the
Daily Collegian yesterday.
Mark said that members of the
campus patrol found some of
these men sleeping in the lounge
of Thompson hall Saturday
morning, and that these men told
the campus officers of their
thwarted plans.
