STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1952
Senior Class Gift
Disclosure Refused
The senior class gift committee refused yesterday to announce' the nature of the senior
class gift to the Daily Collegian. The gift will be revealed on Class Night, June 8, Bryson.
Craine, chairman of the Committee, said.
The Daily Collegian has been trying to learn the nature of the gift since senior voting
ended last week, but the information has -be en withheld repeatedly.
Craine offered no reason for withholding the name of the gift other than it concerned
onl seniors and would be announced to them at Class Night ceremonies.
Gamma Phi
Penalized
By Panhel
Panhellenic Council last night
set up a formal and informal
rushing program for next year
and penalized Gamma Phi Beta
sorority for an infraction of na
tional Panhellenic rules.
The council reconsidered a for
mer proposal to have informal
rushing in the fall and formal
rushing in the spring. Formal
rushing will be from Sept. 13-27,
with informal rushing in the
spring. No freshman women will
be rushed at any time next year.
This means that no first semes
ter freshman this year may rush
formally in the fall. She will be
able to rush informally in the
spring, however.
There, will be four nights of par
ties'; 'each sorority will give one
party on alternate nights. Coffee
Hours will be given Friday, Sept.
26, and ribboning will be at 6:30
p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27.
Because Gamma Phi Beta pres
ently has a membership of 52, two
over the quota, .the council ruled
that it should limit its member
ship next year to 48. This is a cut
in the regular sorority member
ship of 50 set by national Pan
hellenic rules.
The ruling was made by the
judicial committee of the council,
which is composed of Marlene
Heyman, chairman; all officers of
Panhellenic Council; Miss Mary
Brewer, ' adviser; advisers from
the Dean of Women's office; Miss
Phyllis Deal, and Mrs. Leffler.

By HELEN LUYBEN
When asked whether or not the
student body had a right to know,
he answered that it is not impor
tant that other classes know the
nature of the gift. The other
classes will have their turn in pre
senting the College with a gift,
and how they handle it is entirely
up to them, he said.
The President's office reported
that there was no legitimate rea
son for withholding the announce
ment of the gift. Wilmer E. Ken
worthy, director of student affairs,
said, however. that whether- or not
members of the committee an
nounce the gift is entirely up to
them. He added that the College
had no regulations governing
these matters.
Craine Will Discuss Gift
Using the results of the senior
balloting and offering suggestiqns
of its own, the committee will sub
mit its recommendations to the
College Board of Trustees in a let
ter by . Senior Class President
David Olmsted. The final decision
as to the selection of the gift lies
with the board.
Craine will discuss the class gift
with Kenworthy today..olmsted's
letter will be read and considered
It the board= meeting June 6.
Gift to .Cost $7500
The committee has tabulated the
ballots of the senior class and the
class selections of the possible
gifts. These figures were also with
held.
Cost of the gift was estimated
from $7500 to $BOOO by S. K. Hos
tetter, comptroller. Seniors voted
on five suggestions. One was the
establishment of a Class of '52
scholarship fund with money from
the interest .earned by the $7500
principal. Recipients would then
be selected by a special commit
tee, preference going to sons and
daughters of the class of 1952.
Another. suggested gift is the
entranceway at the west end of
Pollock road, where it joins route
322. The entranceway would be
marked by a white stone pillar on
either side of the road.
A statue of a half-kneeling foot
ball' player, slightly larger than

suggested. The statue was done by
the modern sculptor, William Zo
rach.
