All-College Cabinet.
The Spring Week committee
will announce winners of the
$lOO, $5O, and $25 booth awards
for the Spring Carnival as a part
of its report to cabinet tonight.
In addition, the committee is
expected to report the net profits
from the carnival. Committee
members earlier in the week re-
leased the gross figure for the
carnival. The $2670.37 collected
was $551.89 more than was gross
ed from last year's carnival.
This led members of the com
mittee to predict a net profit
in excess of the $BOO turned over
to Campus Chest last year. The
profits from this year's carnival
will help establish a student loan
fund under direction of Cabinet.
Discussion on the motion call
ing for cabinet to loan funds to
the campus displaced persons
committee is expected to be re
opened. Worth is also expected
to call for a report from the spec
ial

pointed to look into the advis
ability of a cabinet appropriation
to the fund.
Cabinet will hear a report by
David Fitzcharles on the absen
tee voting petition taken to Har
risburg recently by members of
the National Student Associa
tion.
James Wharton will report on
the success of a committee ap

the paper," Gyoergy Geczy, Jr., the first of 25 displaced persons to
come to State College as prospective students, remarked yesterday,
He referred to his picture carried in last Friday's Collegian
Geczy expressed appreciation at
the friendly attitude of everyone
he has met since arriving from
Saltzburg, Austria.
"I feel as if I knew everybody
for many years," he said. "The

State College was a nice town and
they weren't wrong."

When told that the campus dis

Pledges For
West Dorms
A total of 848 housing pledges
for the West Dorm area will be
considered in selecting the 225
upperclassmen who will live in
the area next semester, a com
mittee member said yesterday.
• There has been no decision as
to what will happen to students
who did not file a housing pledge
but still desire a room in the
area next fall. Indications were
that pledges would be considered
first, then others.
At a meeting Monday night.
th e committee, composed o f
Housing Director Russell Clark,
Dean of Men H. K. Wilson, Thom
as Durek, West Dorm Council
president. John Laubach, Nittany

dent, sorted the pledges accord
ing to semester rank.
There are nine pledges from
seventh semester seniors, 223
from sixth semester students, 23
fifth semester, and 225 from
fourth-semester students. The re
maining pledges were freshmen.
West Dorm - residents' pledges
total 657, 162 from the Nittany
area, and 29 from Pollock Circle.
A continuity plan has been
proposed which would give pref
erence to this year's fifth semes
ter students. The plan is based on
the idea that after one year in
the West Dorms, these students
would be capable of handling
student government positions on
the West Dorm Council.
Another possible plan would
set up a ratio of next semester's
juniors and seniors in order to
fill the 225 upperclass vacancies.

Governors
Charges
By JIM GROMILLER
Constitutional Change
Galati also suggested elimina
tion of Article 11 of the AIM Con
stitution which restricts political
influence in the board.
The motion was directed to ab
solve Ray Evert, Joseph Haines,
John Stoudt, and David Mutch
ler, candidates for AIM offices in
the recent elections.
The motion, introduced by Ri
chard Mills and adopted unani
mously, stated that "the Board of
Governors expresses the utmost
confidence in those men accused
by Mr. Galati, and that the Board
of Governors goes on record to
the effect that no political influ
ence contrary to the constitution
was exercised in the election."
The motion was introduced af
ter the board was unable to ob
tain, to its satisfaction, definite
evidence that illegal political ac
tivities had gone on. Throughout
the discussion, which became
heated at points, Galati stated
that the job of submitting definite
evidence should be left to a com
mittee of AIM.
Marvin Krasnansky, editor of
Collegian, who was recognized to
answer charges by Galati of Col
legian sensationalism in cover
ing the story, called Galati's
statement "poppycock." Krasnan
sky called for Galati to apologize
to the four men who were af
fected by his - charges.
