Flags Announce
Daily Weather
• Are you one of those people
who ar e- always- wondering
about the,weather? .'
Well, your troubles are over.
Those little colored flags fly
ing on top of the Mineral
dustries building mean some
thing. v
If your .corns hurt and you
see a blue and white checked
flag flying, then it should-rain,
or snow. ! If a red and white
checked flag is flying, the
menu calls for windy weather.
And if the flag is red, white
and blue, then it’s going to be;
cloudy.
A white flag on the building
means the weather is going to
be fair, a red flag means warm
er ’ and a blue flag .m ea n s
colder. - .

The measure would require
anti-Communist vows by all pub
lic employees,- including school
teachers and elected officials.
Rep. Harry Seyler (D-York),
another opponent of the bill, told
the House the bill in its present
state discriminates between pub
lic school teachers and college
teachers.
Amendments Unsuccessful
He attempted unsuccessfully to
introduce amendments which
would have eliminated the need
for public school teachers to take
loyalty oaths: Instea'd, supervising
principals would be required each
year to certify to the State that
there are no subversive activities
within their, respective schools.
This procedure is now permitted
colleges only under the bilL
Kep. Edwin Tompkins (R-Cam
eron), opposirfg Seyler’s' amend
ments, told the House:
Red in Teaching
“I know that by and large the
public school teachers are a grand
lot of people, but I also know that
communism has crept, into that
field--aEt well as-many other fields.”
He said college teachers were
excluded from the oath, require
ment since part of their .salaries
are paid from private funds.
A statement by Seyler that the
Pennsylvania Staff Education As
sociation, representing most of
! the - State’s public school teachers',
is opposed to the bill, brought a
wide difference of opinion from
other members. '
Rep. D. Raymond Sollenberger

was rewritten the PSEA refrained

the plan.
If adopted, the proposal would set up a'student office to handle
promotion for all student organi
zations on campus.
Proponents of the promotion
agency believe it would eliminate
many of the conflicts which now
arise in the promotion publicity
of individual campus groups. I'
They point out that under the
plan to be considered, the agency
would operate similar to any
commercial advertising agency,
except that it would not operate
for profit. A campus organization
would submit its promotion bud
get, and the agency would then
develop a campaign to be return
ed the the client for approval.
The plan would, the proponents
contend, offer professional ex
perience to students intending to
enter promotion work, while at
the same time eliminate the some
time inferior promotion of in
dividual groups.
Under the jilan, the agency
would begin functioning, with a
minimum number/ of campus
clients and would expand as
rapidly as possible with the in
tention of eventually being avail
able to all groups on campus.
An amendment to the All-Col
lege Constitution is also sched
uled to be introduced before cabi
net. according to the,agenda re
leased yesterday by All-College
Secretary-treasurer Thomas Jur
chak. The amendment was re
moved :from .the agenda at last
week’s meeting to make way for
the cabinet resolution opposing
the -Pechan loyalty oath bill.
The amendment if adopted by
cabinet would provide for sopho
more representation on Tribunal.
_ Also on the agenda for discus
sion is the student loan fund to
be set up with the profits from
last year’s spring carnival.
