RILW Opens Tomorrow
The Religion-in-Life • Week
committee decided this year to
change its policy of inviting out
of-town leaders representing each
faith to participate in the RILW,
and to use local religious leaders
in the program. These three
groups were permitted to invite
guest leaders because they felt
they had no local person who
could represent their groups in
such a program.

tomorrow night and will be ob
served next week in conjunction
with National Brotherhood Week.
The theme this year is "This
Meets Your Need."
Five principal leaders for the
week represent- the Jewish and
Protestant faiths. Protestant lead
ers are the Rev. A. T. Mollegan,
pr6fessor of Christian ethics, Pro
testant Episcopal Theological
Seminary, Alexandria, Va.; the
Rev. John Dillenberger, acting
head of the Department of Reli
gion. Columbia University; and

Missions of the Presbyterian
Chur.ch.

tional director of B'nai B'rith
Hillel Foundation and Will Her

fields of labor and social research
and theology.

Committee
Will Hear
Recess Plan
A plan to terminate classes for
holiday recesses at noon
, and set
up two "floating holidays" to be
used by the student body for
special event - holidays will come
before the College Senate com
mittee on the calendar today.
The changes in the calendar
were recommended recently by
All-College 'Cabinet.
The plan would also retain the
present two-day registration re
cess each semester.
The plan to end classes at noon
was proposed to keep students
from driving home for holidays
during the night, when roads are
more dangerous, and also to allow
women more time to leave the
dormitories before they close, a
cabinet spokesman said.
The present two-day registra
tion recess, although continued in
the cabinet recommendations, is
favored by only one of the eight
school deans, a recent poll by the
Daily Collegian disclosed.
The proposals must be ap
proved by the calendar commit
tee before they can be put into
effect.
State Clique
Elections
Set Sunday
Election •of clique officers of
the State Party will be held at
7 p.m. Sunday in 119 Osmond,
Robert Amole, present clique
chairman, announced yesterday.
Amole stated that the meeting

and added that it would be open
to all students, regardless of their
campus political affiliation. He
extended a special invitation to
all freshman students. •
The party organization will be
completely explained at the meet-
Amole said, and will be a
good opportunity for those stu
dents who do not thoroughly
understand the political set-up to
get the matter straightened out
their minds.
Amole explained that while
elections are still two months off,
the party was meeting early in
order to try to counteract student
apathy to campus politics, to al
low a longer period for consider
ation of candidates and platform,
and to permit greater student par
ticipation.
Present officers of the State
Party besides Amole' are Frank
Schrey, vice chairman; Marilyn
Minor, secretary; and Richard
ftrossinari, treasurer.

The proposed amendment to the All-College Constitution dealing
with the changing of student fees was withdrawn last night by David
Olmsted, senior class president and originator of the proposal, and.
resubmitted as an amendment to Article I, Section 8 of the consti-
tution.
The amendment had originally been proposed as Article 13 of
the constitution, but with the ex- -
ception of two minor changes, re
mains the same in meaning.
'Appeal to Apathy'
Under the proposal, Article I,
Section 8 would be changed to
read: "The Cabinet . shall have
control over all student funds, in
cluding the establishment of class
dues, the recommendation of stu
dent activities fees, the approval
of specific budgets, the approval
of expenditures, and the supervi
sion of the auditing of these ex
penditures. Recommendations for
subtractions from, or additions to,
student activities fees can be
made to the administration only,
after Cabinet has passed such al
recommendation by a two-thirds
vote on each of two consecutive
meetings;
if, however, a petition signed
by 10 per cent of the student
body is submitted to an officer
of cabinet within one week
after the first vote, a statistical
poll, conducted by the elec
tions committee, with the ad
vice of the Psychology depart
ment, must be taken within 30
days and the results presented
to cabinet for consideration be
fore the final vote is taken on
the change in student fees."
Marvin Krasnansky, chairman
of the Board of Publications,
charged that the poll was an
apology to student apathy . , while
Mary Jane Woodrow, president of
' the Women's Student Govern
ment Association, said that it
would deprive students of the
right to vote by denying them a
referendum
'Ross Lehman, assistant execu
tive secretary of the Alumni As
sociation- and a cabinet adviser,
brought up three points which he
said cabinet should consider care
fully before making its final vote
on the proposed amendment
Called 'Crutch'
First, Lehman said, the purpose
of the amendment should be con
sidered carefully, and secondly,
it should be considered whether
the amendment conflicts in any,
way with other sections of the
constitution. Finally, he said, it
should be determined if the
amendment would do a special
good for a special thing which

Previously she had been a ballet
dancer, as well as a piano instruc

Okla.
Field, a native New Yorker,
was composer of the Hit Parade
favorite, "The Same Old Story."
He was also editor for a jazz pub
lishing firm before his interests
turned to a classical music career.
The team has been highly rated
by critics since they presented a
series of New York recitals en
titled "Two Pianos Through
Four Centuries." Until that time,
duo-pianism had not been regard
ed as a specific type of musical
art.

New York business executive.

Frances Brown, magazine writer
and paintek.
Revises
Changes
Cut Plan
Proposed
To Senate
A plan which would add one
credit to the normal graduation
requirements for missing the last
meeting of a class occurring in a
48 hour period before and a sim
ilar period after a regularly
scheduled vacation, was proposed
at a recent meeting of the Col
lege Senate, the published report
of the Senate minutes yesterday
disclosed.
The proposal will lie on the
table for one month before ac
tion can be taken upon it.
Under the plan, proposed by
B:A. Whisler, head of the Civil
Engineering department, instruc
tors would be required to report
all such absences. The dean of the
school in which the student is en
rolled might excuse an individual
student from the operation of the
rule if the student is prevented
from attending class by illness,
death in the family, or' similar
extraordinary circumstances. In
an emergency due to weather or
other general conditions, the plan
says, the President of the College
could temporarily abrogate the
rule.
ROTC Continues
Rifle Range
Location Hunt
Facilities for housing the Army
ROTC rifle range, previously lo
cated in the basement of Ather
ton Hall and recently closed be
cause of protests by residents
there, have not yet been found,
according to Samuel K. Hostetter,
comptroller.
The rifle range is still closed,
Hostetter said, and the matter
is something of a dead issue. The
ROTC unit is still interested in
securing a location for the range,
he said.
The range was in operation in
Atherton Hall last semester but
was closed following protests by
coeds living there, who said the
noise interfered with their study
ing. At the time there appeared
to be some misunderstanding be
tween the ROTC and the College
as to when the range was to be
used.
Enrollment Group
To Form Monday
There will be a meeting of all
students interested in working
on the All-College Cabinet en
rollment committee at 7:30 p.m.
Monday in 108 Willard.
Committee members will visit
their home town high schools to
hold discussion groups and dist
tribute literature on the College.
Edward Shanken and John Al
lison, co-chairmen of the commit
tee, both emphasized that stu
dents from all classes can attend
the meeting.
It is believed that the commit
tee can help to offset a possible
drop in enrollment, Shanken
said..
