College Disciplinary
Counsels
(The following description of. the College disciplinary com
mittee was written by Daily Collegian reporter James Gromiller
after attending a hearing of the committee yesterday.)
The personal interest of committee members - in counseling the
students brought before them was the most impressive thing ob
served at the hearing of the College disciplinary committee yester
day afternoon.
The committee, which is empowered to recommend expulsion if
deemed advisable, is composed of
H. K. Wilson, dean of men; Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, director of
student affairs, and the dean of
the student's school. The chairman
of tribunal also sits on the com
mittee to give student viewpoint.
A similar committee presides in
cases involving women.
Main Purpose _ _
Tribunal Tries
5 Violations;
One Excused
- Five traffic violation cases were
heard by student Tribunal last
night, and two cases were excused
by Captain Mark of the campus
patrol.
Of the five cases, two were
excused with recommendations to
look into the matter of obtaining
permits. They were also warned
that similar violations would re
sult in a fine.
One student who had parked
in the Windcrest area explained
that he had stopped his illegal
practice as soon as he found that
he had been violating the traffic
codes. He was given a suspended
fine of $1 and a copy of the traf
fic regulations.
Another student was fined $1
for illegal parking and driving on
Pollock road during class hours.
He was warned that
. the next
violation would result in a stiffer
fine.
A $3 fine was imposed on one
student who had four traffic vio
lations and a Tribunal record
from last year. He had repeatedly
ignored tickets and summons to
Tribunal this year.
Hat Society Sets
Friday Deadline

Key, junior hat society, • should be

ters should contain the appli
cant's interests and his qualifi
cations for membership.

based on activities, publication
positions, and manager positions
for varsity posts.
Prexy to Talk at Juniata
President Milton S. Eisenhower

community dinner at Juniata Col
lege in Huntingdon. He was in-'
vited to speak several weeks ago
by President Ellis of Juniata Col
lege.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE ZIOLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Erring Students
Although the punishment of the
committee can be severe, its main
purpose is to point out to the
student where he was wrong.
Questioning is informal but effec
tive. As one student called before
the committee yesterday said,
such a conference should be able
to settle anyone down.
When possible, the case is
settled without a hearing before
the full committee, but when the
infraction in regulations is great
enough to cause possible expul
sion or other difficulties arise,
the student is called before the
full committee.
In some cases where the com
mittee feels that the student must
leave the College, but that the
matter is not extremely severe, it
will permit the student to with
draw from the College rather than
be expelled.
Degrees of Punishment
If the committee feels punish
ment is needed it may resort to
three degrees:
1. Recommendation to th e
President that the student be ex
pelled from the College.
2. Disciplinary probation for
a stipulated period which is
placed permanently upon the stu
dent's transcript and makes him
ineligible for activities during the
period.
3. Dean of Men probation
/which places him on the probation
list in the office of the Dean of
Men for a stipulated period.
• Two Cases Heard
Two cases were heard by the
committee at yesterday's session.
Both received disciplinary proba
tibn for one year.
The first case involved a stu
dent altering information on a
'College form in order to obtain
a matriculation card with a birth
date making him old enough to be
served alcoholic beverages. The
second student was- called to an
swer charges of disorderly con
duct in a dining hall. \_
Two Charles R. Gerth scholar
ships are awarded each year to
e junior and a senior enrolled in
agricultural and biological chem
istry.
Committee
Ghosts Celebrate
Annual Holiday
When merry-makers don masks
and raise theit cider •glasses to
night- to hail the advent of Hal
lckween, they will, probably in all
innocence, be• celebrating an old
pagan holiday.
The observance of Halloween,
known originally as All hallows
Eve, has come down through the
ages from the rites of the Druids,
ancient ,Gaelic magicians, cele
brating the day of Saman. On
this day, it was believed, the
Lord of Death called together
the souls of the wicked who had
died during the past year.
The theme comes from both
the old Druidic celebration and
an old Roman festival in honor
of Pomona, the goddess of fruit.
Ed Group Hits
Vote Release
, By a vote of 9 to 12, the Edu
cation Student Council rejected
the proposed amendinent to the
All-College Constitution that elec
tion results of organizations rep
resented on cabinet be released.
Council members voted nega
tively because they felt "hard
feelings may result in a close elec
tion." It was suggested that those
who want to know exact election
figures can get them from officers
of the organization.
Sections of the by-laws read
at last week's' meeting were dis
cussed and voted on separately.
Several of the articles, which are
amendments to th e Education
Student Council constitution,
were\ tabled' until next Tuesday.
Teaching System
Devised by Student
A. V. Kozak, a graduate stu
dent in mathematics, has devised
a teaching system which ma y
help high' school students prepare
more adequately for college sci
ence courses.
The method, named "Kalgo
metrics" by Kozak, involves
teaching an accelerated system of
unified mathematics so that the
pupil may gain a better funda
mental grasp of all basic princi
ples.
"Kalgometries," now being
tested at a high school in Beaver,
West Virginia, includes phases of
geometry, advanced algebra, trig
onometry, statistics, analytic ge
ometry, differential and integral
calculus.

To Report
The presidents . of Pennsylvania's four state-aided colleges said
in• a letter released yesterday by- the governor's office that their"
committee, established to-study the State tax problems, would hold
itself to a report of facts only and ,not make any legislative recoin
mendations. The letter was a reply to Gov. John S. Fine's recent
request for such a study by the
schools,
The presidents of the Univer
sity of Pittsburgh,` Temple Uni
versity, the University of Penn
