Senate Rule
On Athletes
The Interfraternity Council
went on record last night as dis
approving the present policy of
the Senate committee on athletics
regarding the representation. of
Penn State at National Collegiate
Athletic Association competition.
The action of the Senate com
mittee, made public yesterday,
will limit Penn State competition
in NCAA tournaments only to
those athletes who have won
Eastern. titles.
Nominees for IFC offices were
announced last night. Those nom
inated for secretary treasurer
were Richard Bunnell and Thom
as Fleming; vice president, Thoth.-
as Judge; William Hirsch, and
Joseph Brown; and for president,
Art RostEelt.
'Nominations were opened yes
terday and will" close 5 p.m. April
1. Elections will be held April 7.
The IFC also passed a motion
approving the 25 cents per per
son per semester- plan to help
finance the Ag Hill j.O dging
teams.
A former plan presented to the
All-College Cabinet last Thursday
called for a ten cent assessment
but it was felt that since- the
judging teams were open to all
students it' would be fairer to
have each student contribute to
its financing.

the proposed increase of 25 cents
in student fees at its meeting at 7
tonight in* 107 Main Engineer

State judging teams in their in
tercollegiate competition. Pres
ently the agriculture students are
the only ones paying a fee for.
that purpose. A member of the
Agriculture Student Council will
be at the meeting to explain. the
proposed fee'to the juniors, Han
ek said. '
The proposal had its first read
ing at the All-College Cabinet
meeting last week , and is now be
' ing viewed by the various cam
pus organizations.
The juniors will also discuss the
proposal for a joint freshman cus
toms board to enforce customs

European Union Needed-Schuschnigg
A union of European states is
a psychological necessity and the
world's "last chance for peace,"
Kurt von Schuschnigg, f o r m e r
chancellor of Austria, told a laxge
Community Forum •audience last
night. Schuschnigg is now a pro
fessor of political science at St.
Louis University.
"Fifty-five year old Schuschnigg,
snowy -haired from his experi
ences in a ,Nazi concentration
camp, said that an integrated
Europe can become a reality only
if the people "express their minds"
and are struck-. one day by the
law of self-preservation.
Although Schuschnigg admitted
that._ this union could hardly be
seen tomorrow or even in the
"forseeable future," he said, "I still
think that it will be the historical
achievement Of the 20th century."
Europe Needs Inspiration
If a unanimous decision of all
countries concerned is, awaited,
however, or if the nations at
tempt to accomplish this union
through regular diplomatic chan
nels, ' this -last chance will be
doomed to failure, Schuschnigg
warned.
Europe's youth must, be given
something to believe in—a "new,
brilliant, optimistic inspiration"—

Raps Rule
Eliminating
Non-Titlists
Criticism of Penn State's deci
sion to limit competition in the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation's tournaments to East
ern champions was voiced yes
terday by All-College President
James Worth.
B u t faculty members of the
Senate committee on athletics,
who made the decision, and ad
ministration officials gave tacit
approval to the action or refused
to comment.
N. R.-Sparks, member of the
committee, emphasized that the
decision did not amount to per
manent College policy, and that
any future decision would_ be
based as this one, on geographical
distance.
Schott Declines Comment
The gym tournament was in
Colorado; wrestling is to be held
in Colorado; boxing in Wiscon-
Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean ,of
the School of Physical Education
and Athletics, said he will abide
by the Senate's decision, but de
clined to comment upon it.
Ha r 0,1 d R. Gilbert, graduate
manager of athletics, and Eugene
Wettstone, 'gymnastics coach, also
refused to comment on the com
mittee's action.
Made in Best Interests
In criticizing the committee's
action, Worth issued the follow
ing statement:
'• "I am sure that ' the decision
to enter only Eastern intercolle
giate champions in national com
petition was carried through in
the best interests of the College
by the Senate committee on ath
letics. I feel that the decision
they have arrived at is not as
feasible as it possibly could have

Ag Council
Proposes
Cut in Fees
A 75 cent reduction in the agri
culture activities fee last night
was recommended to the College
Board of Trustees by the agricul
ture student council upon condi
tion that the board also approve
the 25 cent general student judg
ing fee, now pending before All-
College Cabinet.
In. making th e proposal the
council also gave its unanimous
approval to cabinet's plan to fi
nance the judging teams of the
College through a 25 cent a sem
ester assessment from all students.
In the past, judging team ex
penses have been partially de
ferred by the agriculture activi
ties fee which is now . $1.50 per
semester. The proposed reduction
would cut the fee to 75 cents,
50 cents of which finances the
Penn State Farmer. This would.
leave 25 cents - of the fee for gen
eral agriculture activities.
The reduced •f e e would still
leave the fee with a higher total
than after judging expenses and
the Farmer's cost are withdrawn
under the present setup, All-Col
lege Vice President Thomas Jur
chak told the council.
The 75 • cent reduction will be
presented to the board of trustees
when it holds its regular spring
meeting at the College Friday,
provided cabinet gives final ap
proval to the 25 cent general stu
dent fee when itineets tomorrow.
