Miss Phillips won a majority
vote on the first ballot against
Faith Gallager and Dorothy

Walter Sachs, chairman of the

ing earlier in the West Dorm
lounge. The amendment, proposed
by Hugh Cline, calls for a com
mittee Tof the West Dorm council
to work in conjunction with resi
dent counselors who will serve as
chaperones.
The code as passed differs in
two respects from that tabled last
year by the Senate committee:
it provides for chaperoned rather
than unchaperoned dating, and
eliminates dating in these areas
weekdays.
Some members of the council
objected to the fact that the code
as presented last year was re
jected, when fraternities can con
duct unchaperoned, dating until
8:30 p.m. weelcnights, and until
1 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights.
Strong opposition to the plan
was raised by, Andrew Jaros, vice
president of the council, who said
that the dean of women would not
accept anything less than an en
tirely counselor-chaperoned plan,
and that the board of control, now
under consideration by Board of
Governors of the Association of

provisions of the code if estab

FOR A BETTER PENN ST.
Who Done St?
THE NITTANY LION, striped with orange and black paint early
Sunday morning, shows Hallowe'en spirit a week ahead of time.
'John Semmer and Robert Schlegel inspect the shrine, which was

end.
Lion Shrine Caught
In Halloween Spirit
It's happened again, despite the determined efforts of fraternity
pledges and dorm groups. Looking somewhat like a dejected tiger,,
the Nittany Lion is now sporting a bright orange and black striped
coat of paint.
The shrine has been well guarded this year over the home foot
ball game weekends, but apparently the painters found little re-
By SHIRLEY MUSGRAVE
sistanCe Sunday morning in hu
miliating the Lion with his first
coat of paint this year.
Was it a group of over-enthus
iastic Halloweeners who thought
the Lion should get into the spirit
of things, color-wise that is, or
did Syracuse hope to impress us
with its colors? This seems a lit
tle' unlikely ' with the Syracuse
game almost two weeks away.
But so far, it’s anybody’s guess.
The Campus Patrol is in a dil
emma too, according to Capt.
Philip Mark, with his guess being
either one of the two previously
mentioned. Any information or
clues on the painting, which oc
curred between 3:30 and 5:30
a.m. Sunday, would be appre
ciated, Captain Mark said.
Men will soon be busy with
the task of scouring and cleaning
the shrine, a process which this
time will cost at least $3O. The
protective wax covering put on
the Lion some time ago is help
ing, but in Captain Mark’s opin
ion hasn’t been replenished often
enough. With each cleaning job,
off come the edges and contours
of the Lion. At this rate, he’ll
soon be Lilliputian, Mark-warned.
Orange seems to be a favorite
color for such misdeeds. That’s
what he was painted April 19 of
last year.
And the solution to the prob
lem —how would- Penn State’s
mascqt look on top of Ree Hall?
Safer, ‘at least.

tions committee. Richard Kirsch
ner, Lion clique chairman, read
the elections code to the group.
