Goal Post Solution- See Page 4 VOL. 53, No. 10 Cabinet Attendance To Affect Customs The attendance of freshmen at the All-College Cabinet meeting at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Schwab Auditorium will partially determine the length of the period that freshman customs will stay in effect, James Schulte, co-chairman of the Freshman Board of Customs, announced yesterday. Freshmen will not be required to attend the meeting, part of the Mac Roe Case Probe To Continue Procedures to be used by a committee investigating College loyalty procedures and the dis missal of Wendell S. Macßae will be discussed at a meeting of the Faculty Advisory Council at 4:10 p.m. Friday, Arthur H. Reede, chairman of the committee, said yesterday. Mon'day night Reede told a meeting of over 125 persons in terested in the Macßae case that President Milton S. Eisenhower had asked the Faculty Advisory Council to consider . questions about College loyalty procedures, to consider the formation of a committee to investigate these procedures, and to recommend procedures to be used by an in vestigating committee. Reede To Be Added According to Reede. the Fac ulty Advisory Council approved Eisenhower’s proposal for a re view of procedures and their bearing on the case in question (the Macßae case) by elected members of the Tenure and the Faculty Loyalty Review Board. Since both these groups are three-man boards, the committee recommended to the President that the acting chairman of the council, Reede, be added to the group. Withholds Comment The Faculty Advisory Council, at its meeting Monday afternoon, voted “that there was confusion in the College loyalty procedures and that, in fact, none of the council members knew of a change in procedure until Aug. 19.” _ The council decided to with hold comment as to whether there had' been “incorrect steps” be cause the council lacked adequate information. The - council went on record as believing the special review com mittee should have the widest possible latitude in-its investiga tions and should be free to decide on its own procedures. debate Candidate Tryouts Scheduled Tryouts for the men’s debate squad will be held at 7 p.m.’Oct. 1. in 316 Sparks.

IFC Hears Appeat on Approximately one hundred fraternity men at an Interfraternity Council meeting heard last night an appeal by Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, to take an active part in solving the problem of student conduct at football games. The conduct referred to by McCoy was that of students hurling varieties of fruit onto the playing field and the destruction of goal posts after the games. McCoy said that in 25 years of his intercol legiate experience, he has never seen, excepting last Saturday, a home team take down its own goal posts. Student Problem The disconcerting part of this action, McCoy said, was that the goal posts were tinder destruction before the game was over. He listed several possibilities which might have occurred on this ac count including a tie ball game and injurious publicity for the College and all concerned. . He said that the administration could take disciplinary action, but that this was primarily a student problem that could be solved by the students. McCoy then suggest ed that students, since they alone determined the customs of Penn State, should restrain from these actions which cause a great loss of dignity. He added that students should take the attitude that “this isn’t done at Penn State.” ’ William Hafley, chairman of the Fraternity Marketing Association, -large scale buying plan for fra ternities, made a committee re port. He said that mimeographed sheets comparing list prices with those of FMA would be sent to all houses for comparisons.

One woman’s case was held over until next week, two men’s cases were dismissed, and 11 more were yet to be heard at press time. Sandwich Sign Five women appeared before the board to ask questions of the board. One man’s sentence will possibly be held over until next week, depending on a decision by James Schulte, board co-chair man, Thursday. The one woman who was sen tenced will be required to make a sandwich sign with materials obtained at the Book Exchange. The ten men who were sen tenced will also be required to make sandwich signs with ma terials gotten at the Book Ex change, Schulte explained _ that the materials will be furnished free of charge. Violators Tagged He added that the signs will have either a rhyme or slogan on the front pertaining to their violation and a slogan on the rear board pertaining to the Purdue football game. These men must appear before Schulte between 12:50 and Ip.m. to have their signs checked. The i violators must then wear the i signs until after the Purdue game Saturday. At the start of the half time intermission, all violators must appear at the gate to the playing field in front of the sen ior section. Schulte said that the gate is located at about the 50- yard line. Cases Dismissed During the meeting', Patricia Ellis of the board announced that freshmen women are permitted in the West Dorm lounge on weekdays between noon and 6:30 p.m. No association with men will be permitted, she said. She added that this rule will be en forced and violators will be pun ished before the Freshman Cus toms Board. Of the two men’s cases that : were dismissed, one was done so because the freshmen had appar , ently violated no rule, and the [ other had apparently been a vic tim of hazing practices. These men were given advice by the 1 board on the proper attitude ; toward upper classmen and cus ’ toms. The customs violations ranged from talking to members of the opposite sex to refusal to wear customs at all.
