David Olmsted; senior class president, will , explain the amendment to the All-College Constitution concerning student fees which he introduced to All , College Cabinet. Approved by the Interfraterni ty Council Wednesday, the ball plan calls for a committee of two Panhel and three IFC representa tives. The vice presidents of IFC and •Panhel would be co-chair men for the April 4 dance: Th e IF C secretary-treasurer would be business manager of the ball and co-chairman along with a Panhel member of the Woody Herman- Concert , committee. Profit distribution would be based on the ratio of the money contributed by each group. Fifty fraternities and 19 sororities con tribute money to back the dance. No compensation would be dis tributed until profits were divid ed between the groups. The plan is a complete reversal of one which was unanimously turned down by Panhel on Feb. 5.

Because of this they had to board a plane at Harrisburg, sit on the sidelines with Penn's coach, spend the night in a Baptist theo logical seminary, and ride back to Harrisburg with the secretary of health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The amazing odyssey of these two frosh began when they donned their hitch-hiking signs and set out for Harrisburg at 4:30 p.m. Bender's sign read "Philly Please" and BOudreau's added: "for the U of P vs. Penn State game 'at 9 o'clock." Three lifts and they were in Harrisburg. The duo went to the toll gate of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and unsuccessfully tried to hitch a ride from 8 to 8:55. Discouraged, they hailed a cab to take them back to Harrisburg, intending to rettl.rn to State College. As the cab passed the airport :they asked the driver to 'use his FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Cabinet Recommendation Put On New Calendar Reading Festival Tryouts Tonight Tryouts for representatives from the College to the fourth Penn sylvania Intercollegiate Reading Festival May 1 and 2 will be held at 6:30 tonight in 312 Sparks.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Holidays to Begin At Noon in 1953-54 Terms One of three recommendations of All- College Cabinet has been partially incorporated in the ten tative College calendar for 1953-54 now before the College Senate, C. 0. Williams, secretary of • the Senate, reported yesterday. Thanksgiving, Christmas, an d spring vacations are scheduled to begin at 11:50 a.m. in order to permit students to pack and to leave during the afternoon. Cabinet last December had rec ommended to the Senate calendar committee that holiday recesses be scheduled to begin and end at noon to allow for safe travel during daylight hours, and to al low women students more time in packing and leaving College dor mitories before the 6 p.m. dead line. Spring Recess Th e tentative calendar, re ported to the Senate Feb. 7 and automatically tab le d for one month, does not follow the cabi net suggestion of ending vaca tions at noon. All three 'major holidays end at 8 a.m. according to the recommended calendar. The spring recess for the current semester, approved last year, be gins and ends at noon. Extra Half Holiday The calendar committee real izes the benefit to be gained from recessing and resuming classes at noon and will in every instance possible attempt to arrange the calendar in such a manner, E. W. Callenbach, chairman of the cal endar committee, said yesterday. As long as the extra half holi day can be scheduled without in terfering with the overall semes ter requirement of 15 class meet ings per credit for each course, the recommendation will be fol lowed, Callenbach explained. Registration Question "That goes for the resumption of classes at the end of a holiday period as well," he said. The noon resumption would, however, re duce the class meetings below the 15 limit for the 1953-54 year, he explained. A 'second recommendation of cabinet—that the present two-day first phase registration period without classes be continued— may still be inserted into the cal endar before its final adoption. Longer Registration The tentative calendar was read into the Senate minutes with the proviso that some form of regis tration system would be added, C allenb ach explained. A poll, completed since the Senate meeting, indicated that a majority of Senate members are lined up in favor of a two to four week first phase registration setup with no night sessions and no sus pension of classes. Present Plan Third A registration schedule over a single week with night meetings if required and no suspension of classes was the second choice.
