Mary Jane Woodrow Soccer Team's Trip Canceled The Penn State soccer team, making quiet plans for a pro posed 15,000 mile round-trip to Iran, had to postpone indefi nitely the project because of political upheavals in the Near East country, Wilmer E. Ken worthy, Director of Student Affairs, said yesterday. Bill Jeffrey's national cham pionship teajn was selected by the U.S. State department to represent the country in a series of soccer games planned for three weeks in ApriL Internal uprisals in ]ran made the project doubtful from the beginning and finally the trouble culminated in the as sassination of the I r ani an prime minister. The College re ceived word yesterday that the trip was postponed. The project had been kept _confidential because the Col lege had not given final ap proval to the athletic trip. About 18 men would have had to miss nearly three weeks of classes. Jeffrey conducted practice sessions twice this week in preparation. Some of the play ers were already getting class assignments so that the work could be done before or during the trip. Most of the plans were being made by the government so that little was known at Penn" State except that the State department had selected the Lion team.

According to tire constitution of the group, the proposed amend ments must be read at two con secutive meetings before being voted upon. The board also brought in Dr. George Guthrie, chief resident advisor for all male dorm areas; Frank Simes, chief resident ad visor for the West dorm area; and Joseph Errigo, chief resident ad visor for the Nittany-Pollock area, for a discussion of the pres ent dorm advisor system. First Amendment The first of the five constitu tional amendments would change the election requirements for rep resentatives-at-large from election by the various councils to election by the residents of the area under the jurisdiction of the council. The amendment would also add the stipulation that in case of districts wher6 less than 500 men reside, one representative would be appointed. The second change would delete the section describ ing ex-officio members, and adds that the chairmen of the project, social, publicity and athletic com mittees, as well as the editor of the Independent, may be mem bers of the board or ex-officio members. Minimum Number In order to accommodate the Pollock dorm council and West dorm and Town councils, the minimum number of men in a district would be 20, with the maximum number 200.

In Tuesday's election 100 per cent of the residents in the Wom en's building, Mac Allister hall, and the three home management houses voted.
