A Study. In Profs— See Page 4 VOL. 52, No. 80 Poll Proposal Called Football' Shortages to Construction Shortages of steel and other vital materials will probably hold up construction of the Student Union, James Worth, All-College president, announced last night at the cabinet meeting. The information was part of a detailed report on the Student Union prepared from questions submitted by All-College Cabinet to members df the College admin istration. Reading from the,statement, Worth said that the National Pro duction Authority had offered no objections to the College’s appli cation for permission to build. “This is only the first hurdle to cross, and this alone by no means gives assurance that the College can obtain critical build ing materials. An application for materials such as steel must be made by the contractor when a contract for construction has been let. It is anticipated that difficulty may then be encountered,” the report read. _ Worth also reported that offi cials in Washington believe -that the situation will ease greatly after Jan. 1, 1953.

IFC Unanimously Backs Sole Dance Chairmanship The Interfraternity Council last night unanimously gave a vote of confidence to its executive committee in support of the committee’s proposal for a sole chairman from IFC for the IFC-Panhel ball. On Tuesday, this same proposal had been rejected by the Pan hellenic council which had suggested that it retain its present unpaid co-chairmanship. Under the new agreement the IFC vice-president, James Whar ton, would be chairman of the dance and would be assisted by a member of Panhel and two other IFC representatives, William Klis anin and Carrol Chapman. Also, the Panhel representative would be paid the same as the IFC members of the group. Last year’s Panhel representative was not paid. The agreement also calls for thre fourths of the profits to go to IFC and one fourth to Panhel in proportion to the amount of money contributed by fraternities and sororities, Stanley Wengert, IFC president, will again present the proposal to the Panhel council at its next meeting.

PRICE FIVE CENTS George Claims Politicsßehind Olmsted Move By DAVE PELLNITZ Clair George, president of the Board of Dramatics and Forensics, last night charged that constitu tional amendment proposed by David Olmsted, senior class pres ident, was merely a “political football” to gain support for the State party. George also said that the amendment added nothing new to the All-College Constitution since Article I, Section Nine provides that “any member of the faculty, administration or student body may attend and present to Cabi net any matters which concern student welfare” and that cabinet must take action on the matter within 30 days. The proposed amendment pro vides for the taking of a statistical poll of a representative cross-sec tion of the student body upon the presentation to cabinet of a petition signed by ten per cent of the student body within one week after a proposal to change student fees has been made. Professor Speaks Thomas Jurchak, All - College secretary treasurer, said that the amendment should not be taken as a political matter but should pass or fall on its merit. George also asked what the ad vantages of a statistical poll were over a referendum. Dr. Lester Guest, professor of psychology, was called upon by Olmsted to answer the question. Guest said the poll, while it would not give a perfect sounding of student feel ing, would give results close enough to be used for administra tive consideration and guidance. Guest also said that unless a referendum of about 90 per cent of the students was taken, the results would not accurately show student feeling, as only those stu dents who had “an axe to grind” would be voting. Called Compromise Jerome Kidd, a freshman at tending the meeting, said that the way the proposed amendment now reads, the poll might not do any good. He suggested the amend ment be changed to make the poll binding on cabinet Thomas Farrell, a sophomore, said he thought the amendment was a good compromise. He said that even the federal government has a system of checks and bal ances and the proposed amend ment \frould provide a compromise between an actual referendum and what he termed “no student representation at all” as things .now stand. The amendment must be read and discussed at two more cabi net meetings before a final vote can be taken. A three-fourths vote of cabinet is required to pass the amendment. New Pensions Affect College Many employees of the College will be affected by the newly passed State Act 622, which pro vides an increase in pensions for certain persons who retire at 60 or older. The increase would be possible if the amount contributed by the person toward his pension is less than the amount contributed by the state. The act was passed at the last session of the General Assembly in Harrisburg and ap proved by Gov. John S. Fine. S. K. fiostetter, comptroller at the College, explained yesterday that because the state employees** retirement board has referred the act to the attorney-general for clarification, interpretation as to the full meaning is not immedi ately available. Hostetter added that as soon as clarification of the act is received, more detailed information will be provided.
