Contributions made to the Lion suit, fund yesterday have brought the total to $5OO. and, according ta Arthur Rosfeld, Interfraternity Council president, IFC will donate whatever more is needed to pur chase the new suit. i ! A collection sponsored by the West Dorm Council netted $79.79. Nittany Dorm' 26 contributed $2.75.

By CHUCK OBERTANCE. New Plan Proposed By Council A plan enabling a greater num ber of students to take-an active part in student goverment ,and student affairs was proposed at a meeting of persons interested in student government ■ Monday night. The plan, Cabinet Project Council, was first discussed at the recent Student Encampment at Mont Alto, but no definite plans -were made at that time. - Cabinet Project Council was originated for the purpose of rep resenting the National Student- Association on campus. It was felt that the local chapter of NSA, whose main purpose is to evolve and transmit better methods of student government, was too re mote from campus student gov ernment to be effective. The College will continue to be a member of the organization, but all NSA affairs will be channeled to appropriate committees by way of the Cabinet Project Council. ' In addition, Cabinet Project Council will be,made up of com mittees which will work on such matters as improvement of Orien tation Week, Spring Week, cab inet committee work, freshman smokers, and surveys of college elections. A constitution will be drawn up and various committees form ed at a meeting next week. Any student _ may then- volunteer to work with these ’committees.
