Students to
For Placard
Registration - kir the preferential seating section of Beaver Field
will start Monday morning, James Wharton, chairman of All-College
Cabinet's special committee, announced yesterday.
The special section of Beaver Field—between the 30 and 40
yard lines—will be open to students who will be seniors, juniors,
and sophomores next year.
Approximately 750 seats are
available in the section, EH,
Wharton said. An exact count of
the available• seats in the section
will, be made before students are
assigned to the section, he said.
Seniors Gets First Chance
Students sitting in the section
will be expected to cooperate in
the operation of a flashcard sys
tem, Wharton explained. This is
the purpose of the section, he
continued, and only those who
expect to work the flashcards
should sign up for the section.
Those who do not cooperate in
the use of the flashcards will
have their special AA passbooks
exchanged for regular book s,
Wharton said.
.Under the plan approved by
cabinet, seniors will be given first
preference for seats in the sec
tion since .the part of the student
stands being used for the cheering
section is currently occupied by
seniors. If an insufficient num-
I ber of seniors sign up for the
section, juniors and then sopho
mores will be given the special
books.
Students, who wish to sit in
groups will be able to do so un
der the plan. Seats will not be
assigned until next fall, but be
fore assignments are given out
those who wish to sit together
will have an opportunity to indi
cate their choice.

Concert Pianist
To Give Recital
In WD Lounge
The action was taken yesterday
at a meeting of the Senate com
mittee which approved the recom
mendation of a sub-committee ap
pointed to investigate the reported
infractions.
, The sub-committee, made up of
representatives of the Senate
committee on student affairs and
the Interfraternity Council, rec
ommended that the charter be,
suspended. However, permission
was granted for the members to
operate as a local club outside the
chapter house and to select club
members on a basis to be deter
mined
by the national office, the
chapter adviser, and 'the College
administration.
Example of Cooperation
The committee also recom
mended that on or after April 1,
1953, a petition may be submitted
•by the national fraternity to the
Senate committee on student af
fairi•requesting the lifting of the
.suspension.
This is a good example of how
student government, the IFC, and
the administration can conduct a
joint action, Wilson said. -He
added that this was a move to
!strengthen the 'fraternity . system.
It was pointed out at the Sen
ate meeting that the national ex
ecutive council of Pi Lambda Phi,
after investigating reports or the
infractions, ha d suspended the
chapter effective May - .21. The in
vestigation wa s conducted by
Robert J. Salisbury, national ex
ecutive secretary.
Emergency Period
A similar investigation., con
ducted by College authorities, re
vealed •fraternityy members have
been violating regulations over a
period of several years. The na
ture of the infractions was not
announced. The suspension by the
national executive council will
continue until April 'l, 1953. If the
action had not - been , taken, Ar
thur Rosfeld, president of the IFC
said, such actions on the part of
fraternities would weaken the
whole fraternity system of Penn
State.
The Senate committee agreed
that during the emergency period
that will continue until the end
of the current semester, Meyer
Bushman would serve as chair
man of a committee representing
the men living in the chapter
