Panhel Will Vote
On IFC Dance Plan
Panhellenic Council will vote
on a plan calling for co-chairman
ship of •the IFC-Panhel Ball at
7:45 tonight in Simmons study
lounge.
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.
The Old proposal, backed by IFC,
called for the IFC vice president
to be the sole chairman of the
ball committee.
Panhel will also discuss formal
`rushing which began Saturday.
Group Suggests
Non-Partisan
Elections Signs
A suggestion that All-College
Cabinet post non-partisan signs
during the class and All-College
elections was made Sunday at
the student government advisory
committee meeting.
The signs would urge students
to vote regardless of their campus
political affiliations. The proposal
will be discussed further at the
next •meeting.
The meeting, which was pdorly
attended because of sorority rush
ing, was cut short and plans for
another meeting in the near fu
ture, were made. The advisory
committee idea was originated by
Ray .Evert, Lion Party clique
chairman, after the recent non
partisan meetings held by both
parties.
The committee • was, co-chaired
by Evert and Thomas Farrell,
State Party member, and is de
signed to•give students an oppor
tunity to meet representatives
from both parties.

Frosh Fly to Penn
As 'Thumbing' Fails
By 808 LANDIS
Morton Bender and Robert Boudreau were late for the Penn-
Penn State game last Wednesday.
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

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.
The present pre-registration
