Lion to Dress Welt
Next Year on $5OO
Penn State’s Lion won’t need to be ashamed of himself next
year. He’ll have a new suit to wear.
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. Approximately $24 more
has been received from fraterni
ties where Androcles hatmen sol
icited during tneir “Dress the
Lion Day” drive Oct. 9. The drive
netted a total of $131.55, includ
ing $32.70 from campus and Cor
ner Room booths and $98.85 from
fraternities.
The selling of men’s kits in
fraternity houses by IFC pro
vided a fund from which the
money for a new suit may be
taken; Rosfeld said. If the total
collected during the drive is not
sufficient, IFC will make up the
difference in cost, Rosfeld ex
plained.
The exact cost of the new suit
is not kov/n, but, according to
Harold R. Gilbert, graduate man
ager of athletics, the quality of
the suit will be determined by
the amount of money collected.
A new custom-made suit may
be ordered in December, Gilbert
said. After football season, the
old suit will be sent to the de
signer in order that he may ex
amine the-most-worn parts. This
should enable him to'make a bet
ter suit,-Gilbert explained.
The present suit was purchased
two years ago for $4OO. It will
take at least three months to have
a new suit-made.
Violators Fined
By Tribunal
Twelve students were fined last
night by Tribunal, men’s judiciary
committee, for violations of cam
pus parking regulations. Five $1
fines were collected, seven $1
fines • were suspended, : and two
cases were dismissed after warn
ings.
John Donnal, treasurer, warned
students that disregarding postal
cards instructing them to appear
before Tribunal would be taken
into consideration when they ap
pear. If the cards are continually
ignored, the cases may be turned
over to the dean of men’s office,
he said.
Suspended fines will be invoked
upon the occurence of a second
offense, it was announced. First
offenders were warned any sec
ond offense would be handled
more.severly by the group.

Dr. Marsh K. White, professor of

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.
PS Club Plans

Tentative plans are underway
for the Penn State Club’s first

The group also has a tentativelv
planned mixer with Thompson
Hall, and is beginning to lay the
ground work for its annual All-
College Talent Show.
At a meeting held last night,
committees were appointed to in
vestigate the possibilities of the
purchase of a new record player,
and subscriptions to several mag
azines for the club room in Old
Main.
Fifty-three new members were
initiated into the club last Tues
day, swelling the total, member
ship of the organization to 125.
