Liberal Arts student council appropriated $5O to the publica tion Tuesday night. The staff previously had been having dif ficulty gaining financial backing. Both faculty and administration groups had been unenthusiastic about the magazine when ap proached for support. Plans are already underway for the earliest publication date pos sible. Student Interest "It is significant that the sec ond overt support for a literary magazine should come from the students as did the first one," Vaughan said yesterday. The original idea for the maga zine came from All-College cab- PRICE FIVE CENTS Cabinet To Hear NSA Proposal On Leader Confab The National Student associa tion will give a report on a pro posed plan for an off-campus student leadership conference at All-College cabinet's meeting in 201 Old Main at 8 o'clock to night. Also on the agenda will be ap proval of a $2OO donation from cabinet to help finance Religion in Life week. William Klisanin, chairman of NSA, will report on the absentee voting law petition which will be circulated in State College this week. Clair George, chairman of the student leadership conference committee, will tell cabinet of plans to have approximately 150 student leaders meet off-campus late in April or early in May to discuss problems of leadership, parliamentary procedure, an d ways to better the College ac tivities program. Activities Leaders Leaders in every field of extra curricular activity will attend the conference, according to George. He said the conference will last two days, probably over a week end. Cabinet last week went through the motions of approving the $2OO donation for the Religion-in-Life week program which starts Sun day. After the meeting it was learned a further vote would be necessary at tonight's meeting to make the grant legal. According to the All-College constitution, approval of any ex penditure above $lOO must be made at the second meeting at which the expenditure is dis cussed. The motion for the grant was made last week by Emerson Jones, All-College secretary treasurer, who is chairman of the Religion-in-Life week committee. The absentee voting petition urges the Pennsylvania legisla ture to pass a law or amendment to the state constitution to per mit absentee voting, according to Klisanin. inet, and was chartered last spring. "When the Inkling appears, it will have been the students and the students alone who have en couraged an activity which they are not normally credited with supporting," 'the editor said. Enthusiastic Support "More important than any fi nancial aid is the enthusiastic and emphatic resolution of the students. Other magazines have had enthusiasm before but even that basic commodity seemed to be lacking heretofore with the Inkling. The senior board will do its utmost to justify the de cision of the council," Vaughan added. The magazine will suspend publication if, after the first edition, the proper persons do not then assist, according to the Inkling editor.
