Council of the 'College yesterday
discussed the possibility of an
earlier release of spring semester
grades for the benefit of honor
societies which tap on basis of
scholastic average.
Dr. Agnes McElwee, president
of the council, stated that grades
were not released last spring un
til mid-April, creating a problem
for honoraries which initiate in
the spring. i
Dr. McElwee said that a student
committee of council members
has been formed to investigate
problems hindering an earlier re
lease of grades. Members of the
committee are John Cusack,
Chemistry and Physics; Raymond

ford Albright, Engineering; Lois
Pulver, - Education; Nancy Fergu
son, Homp Economics; - and Wil

ben, it was stated Mat Wilmer
Kenworthy, Directdr of Student
Affairs, and C. 0. Williams, Reg
istrar, have been contacted by
the committee. Williams studied
the process necessary fOr the cal
culation of grades * and decided
that March 15 woulla be the earl
iest possible date for their re
lease.
• March 1 had been set by thd
committee as the deadline - re
quired by honoraries. Consequent
ly, it was decided that further
study shouldNbe attempted by the
committee.

The recommendation, if ap
proved by the council, would re
quire departments tilling to list
instructors to post those lists
when they become available. This
would allow schools that did not
have time to submit their lists of
instructors in time to be pub
lished in the timetable to list
section instructors at a later date.
Fe'zone Amends '
Falzone amended Krasnansky's
resolution to allow for the list
ing of instructors after the pub
lication of the time table.
Krasnansky, in making his pro
posal, said that 21 of 105 courses
listed in the timetables named
no instructors. He said he saw no
reason, if 80 per cent of the
courses had instructors listed, why
the other 20 per cent could not
do the same.
The resolution also recommend
ed that the council require sec
tion instructors to be made known
in time to be printed in the time
tables `.if at all possible."
In other cabinet action, Stan
Wengert, chairman of the cabi
net lawn decoration committee,
said no displays would be erected
this year because designs sub
mitted by students would cost
more than the $9O appropriation
made by cabinet.
The-, first prize for the lawn
display went to John Goduscik
Wengert said it would have cost
about WO to construct. Second
prize went to Richard Gibson with
PaurKuhnle and Robert Gladys

Charges of Subversive Activity
On Campus Will Be Heard
Specific information dealing with charges of communistic ac
tivities on the campus will be presented to, the College Board of
Trustees in the near future, Paul W. Beardslee, commander of the
23d district of the Department of Pennsylvania American Legion
said last night. He spoke at a meeting of Nittany Post 245 in
State College.
Previous attempts to get the
information dealing with com
munistic and subversive activi
ties on campus to proper College
authorities were blocked, but that
action has now been overcome,
Beardslee said. He also said that
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion has seen some of the infor
mation concerning subversive ac
tivities on campus. However,
Beardslee did not say whether
the FBI is acting upon that in
formation.
Trustees to Review Case
The information is now in a
process of being indexed and cat
alogued and will cover the past
20 years, • Reardslee said.
It will be given to a committee
appointed by James Milholland,
President of the board of trustees.
A date for a meeting of the Le
gion group and the committee
is being scheduled, he said.
A motion, by Post No. 245 mem
bers to have the information and
evidence presented by Comman
der Beardslee• to President Eisen
hower before the next meeting
of the post was unanimously
passed. Beardslee questioned the
right of the local group to
_pass
such a motion and maintained a
stand that the information would
be carried to the board of trustees
as planned.
No concrete evidence of sub
versive activities • was shown at
the meeting last night. The ap
pearance of Beardslee was re
quested by Edgar Benner, com
mander of the local post.
Beardslee did review some ma
terial which dated as far . back
as. 1935. At that time, he pointed
out, various peace groups were
organized on campus which were
later designated as subversive.
He also said the Daily Collegian
has many times in the past at
tacked the American Legion.

Pollock Men
Polled' on SU

Student Union fee are being dis
tributed to residents of the Pol
lock dorms by two officers of the
Pollock Council.
Joseph Haines, council presi
dent, and Alan Maloney, council
secretary, are polling the 12 Pol
lock dorms in an attempt to dis
cover the opinion of the residents
on the controversial issue. The
officers will be better able to rep
resent the men in their area if
they have this information, Ma
loney said.
The questionnaire asks, "Are
you in favor of the Student Union
fee"? The• answers to be checked
are "Yes," "Yes, if at a reduced
rate," "No," "sot until construc
tion is actually started," and "No
opinion."
At present, all college students
are paying $7.50 each semester
for the SU.

Resolutions
Are Offered
By Cabinet
By 808 FRASER
Three recommendations w e r e
passed by All-College Cabinet
last night which will ask the Sen
ate committee on calendar to
have all holidays begin and end
at noon, to continue the two-day
pre-registration days free of class
es, and to add one day to each
semester in order that students,
through cabinet, may have days
off at their request.
The recommendations, added to
Michael Hanek's report to Cabin
et, will be presented by Hanek
to the Senate committee tonight
for acceptance or rejection. Hanek
is a student member of the com
mittee.
Pearl 0. Weston, dean of wom
en, said the noon vacation time
would allow more time for women
students to pack and leave before
the 6 p.m. 'deadline for leaving
the dormitories.
Harry Cover, All-College vice
president, said such a time would
practically eliminate the traffic
snarls that occured when students
returned from their Thanksgiving
holiday. Traveling , at night also
involves more danger to the stu
dents, he said.
Marilyn Williams, Women's
Recreation Association president,
said the two additional days add
ed to the calendar would meet
the state's regulations that state
[ schools must be in session a cer
tain' number of days each year.
She said the system of students
choosing a day off each semester
had been used at Kansas State
University with great success.
Sports championships are often
celebrated by the entire' student
body in this way, .she said.
Miss Williams 'said the reason
we were not given a day off after
Penn State's 21 to 20 victory over
Pittsburgh last year was due to
the required days which schools
must be in session.
William Klisanin, chairman of
the Campus Chest, reported that
to date the drive has reached
$8855.85. He said contributions
were $958.83 over the amount
reached last year.
' Klisanin said Jordan Hall, "due
