cated that their would go through
with the contemplated action at
the April meeting," • Dailey told
the Daily Collegian aft e r the
meeting. "The amount of money
which -would be necessary /to
achieve a complete settlement of.
requested wage adjustments and

not be in excess of $7OO or $BOO
a month," he, added.

Asks Board
Foi Women's,
Men's Rules
AU-College Cabinet last night
heard the first reading of a pro
posed amendment to the All-
College Constitution for a joint
Fresluirian
_Customs Board. •
Thek amendment, which would
replace Article 111, Section 5 of
the present Constitution, provides
for the setting up of a customs
board composed' of four upper
classmen and four upperclass
women, with the chairman of Tri
bunal and the chairman of the
Freshman Customs and Regula
tions Board serving as co-chair
men.
Mary Jie Woodrow, who pre
sented the amendment, explained
that the amendment provides that
the chairman of Tribunal appoint
the other three men, and that the
Women's Student Government As
sociation Senate approve the other
three women members of the
board. The amendment specifies
that of the three other women
members, one must be the chair
man of Judicial, and the other
two, members of the FCRB.
The joint customs board would
try• all cases in which customs
are violated, with the chairman
of Tribunal presiding when male
cases appear, and the chairman
of the FCRB presiding over the
cases of women students. Neither
chairman would- have' the right
to vote. In cases of ties, male

FCRB.
Marvin Krasnansky, chairman
of the Board of Publications and

mittee, pointed • out that joint

Spring's Arrival

01 Snow Season
Spring • brought the sun along
when it came to the campus yes
terday, melting Wedneday's seven
inch snow and, College weather
station officials say, putting an
end to Penn State's snowy season
for the year.
Any snow that hits the" campus
from now on will be nothing more
than flurries. Charles L. Hosler
of the weather station said yester
day. Now, he said, there are sunny
days ahead.
Hosler said temperatures will
rise into the 60's todaY. , Yester,
day's sunshine sent the thermo
meter up to 58 degrees, with the
low at 40 degrees.
The- weather here will be warm
until tomorrow, when there will
be some rain and coolness, Hosler
predicted.
The sudden shift from • snow to
sunshine is typical weather for
this time of the year, he reported.
A three-foot snowfall in 1942 dis
appeared in the same 'manner, he
said.

25-Cent Raise
In Student Fees
Is Suggested
By DAVE PELLNITZ
All-College Cabinet last night
approved a recommendation that
all students be assessed 25 cents
for the support of the Penn State
Intercollegiate Judging Teams,
and that the present agriculture
activities' fee of $1 be reduced
by 75 cents.
The recommendation for a fee
change will have to be approved
by cabinet next week before it
can go to the trustees.
Cabinet also approved the park
ing plan, proposed by D avid
Mutchler, Tribunal chairman,
which would provide that parking
stickers be distributed only in ac
cordance with the number of
parking lots available. This plan
would practically eliminate stu
dent driving -on campus during
school hours.
Marilyn Levitt, Panhellenic
Council president, made the pro
posal that instead of requiring
agriculture students to pay 85
cents toward the judging teams
and all other students to pay 10
cents, the amount should be even
ly distributed over all students.
Miss Levitt said it was "grossly
unfair" to require the Ag students
to pay 68 per cent of the costs
while all other students pay only
32 per cent.
David Stabler, president of the
Ag student council, explained to
cabinet that under the present
set-up, the judging teams are sup
ported entirely by, the students
enrolled in the School of Agri
culture, adding that team mem
bers' had to pay their own food
and insurance expenses while

Schuschnigg
To Speak
At Forum
Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, former
chancellor of Austria and Naii
prisoner for seven years, will
speak on the fourth Community
Forum . program at 8 p.m. Tues
day in Schwab Auditorium.
Now a professor at St. Louis
University, Schuschnigg was ap
pointed chancellor in 1934 and re
mained chief of the Austrian gov
ernment until March, 1938, when
Hitler invaded Austria. Schusch
nigg was placed in solitary con
finement by S.S. troops, and re
mained there until 'the American
Fifth and British Eighth Armies
freed him. "
Schuschnigg, who has "abso
lutely no intention of returning
to politics even after the occupy
ing .poWers withdraw from Aus
tria,' has delivered over 350 lec
tures in the United States on
problems concerning Central Eu
rope.
"Every age has its politicians,"
he says, "and my time is past. I
think I could still help my coun
try, but not in politics."
In reply to questions asked him
at a New York conference re
garding his capitulation to Hitler
at. Berchtesgarden in February,
1938, he said, "Before the war I
was called a clerical communist
by the • Nazis and an Austrian
fascist' by the communists. But
I was never a partisan of dictator
ship. Idid my best to fight' for
independence."
When Schuschnigg was called
to Berchtesgarden, presumably
for a 'casual talk, Hitler informed
him that the Germans were ready
to invade Austria by land and
air.
"Hitler said he would respect
our •independence," Dr. Schusch
nigg said. "I hoped he would keep
his word. I had no choice."
