of the committee, said yesterday that
usefulness of the committee will be at
an end, "unless some new develop
ment" gives it a purpose for fur
ther action.
The administration has not yet
said whether Macßae will be paid
for his time away from the Col
lege, Werner pointed out.
Staff Members Volunteer
However, the wording used by
the College in dismissing Macßae
implies he would not be paid for
the time between Oct. 28; when
he was dismissed, and last Sat
urday, when he was re-employed.
The College said Macßae was
dismissed with 60 days notice.
Macßae apparently would receive
his pay for this period, from Aug.
28 to Oct. 28, but would not be
paid for the time since then.
The committee achieved its or
iginal purpose when Macßae, who
was. removed from" his job in
August, was re-employed Satur
day. The committee was formed
as a voluntary group of staff
members who wished to fight
for his reinstatement.
The committee's purposes in
cluded fighting the Pechan Act,
state legislation requiring all state
employees, including College fac
ulty, to be approved as loyal
Americans and Pennsylvanians.
Macßae has personally attacked
the act as "uselesS and costly" and
called it a "shield" for actual Com
munists and subversiires.
Pechan Admits 'Loopholes'
Werner said the committee
mould_ wait :fon_ court action or
possible legislative action on the
Pechan Act rather than take fur
ther action itself.
Sen. Albert Pechan, Republican
from Armstrong county, has said
there are "loopholes" in the law-as
it stands now, Werner said. This
may lead to another legislative
fight on the law, he added.
Injured Grad Student's
Condition 'Very Critical'
. Injuries to Robert 'Am°le, graduate student who was trampled
by a bull during Thanksgiving vacation, may prove fatal, according
to a report issued - .by the division of geology of the Mineral Indus
tries school. • --
. Amole, who is encased in a heavy cast from the top of his head
to below his waist- with only a small opening at his face, was de
scribed as . being in "extremely
critical condition." He is under
an oxygen tent and is being fed
intravenously., Blood .plasma and
several newly-developed drugs
are being given him, according to
the report.
"Crushing 'of • spinal nerves due
to fracture of the seventh cervical
or firstthoracic vertebra may yet
prove -fatal, • and will certainly
keep 'Amole on the danger list
for some time," the report de
clared,
• Amole, whose home is in Potts
town, is-being treated in Jefferson
Hospital, Philadelphia.
An aunt , found Amole lying in
a bull's stall shortly after he had
returned home from the College
for the 'Thanksgiving vacation.
He had apparently entered the
stall of •the dehorned bull and
been -knocked against the' barn's
stone wall; arid , theh trampled.

preciation. of .the gifts•, and letters
sent.. to her son,-- but said that at

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Fraternity Drinking
'Crackdown' Seen
• Evidences of administrative desires to enforce no-alcohol rules for fraternities gave

, Major evidence of this des i r e was expressed by ,the combined opinions of the
Association of Fraternity Counselors, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, and Assistant Dean
of Men Harold W. Perkins given at an AFC meeting Monday night.

NSA Policies
To Be Decided
By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY
The consensus of these persons,
according to AFC President Wil
liam S. Dye, Jr. was that:
The f r a ternity counselors
should advise their houses of
the College and state laws con
cerning drinking and, should
the fraternities fail to respond
to the advice, the Dean of Men
(or the College) should step in
to enforce these laws.
W. Scott Gehman, secretary of
the counselors group, said discus
sion of the drinking problem arose
from the opinion of the members
that it was an important present
problem.
He pointed out, however, that
the AFC had taken no direct ac
tion in the form of a recommen
dation or a motion on the prob
lem.
Arthur Rosfeld, president of
Interfraternity Council, said last
night that -IFC "intends to de
fend the social setup in frater
nities as it is now.'
"We have •known for some time
that such laws exist," Rosfeld
said, referring to th e drinking
rules. "The IFC is by no means
ashamed of the social atmosphere
in College fraternities, and is in
some respects proud of it," he said.
"If some type of change should
be implemented, with consequen
ces beneficial to the fraternities,
the IFC would be in favor of it,"
he added.
"But no such changes have
been presented to us so far,"
Rosfeld said.
Both dean Simes 'and assistant
dean Perkins, who represent the
College's enforcement agents for
fraternity rules, were invited to
the AFC meeting. The dean's of
fice meets with the AFC usually
once a year.
Although the discussion at the
meeting was 1e d by the two
deans, neither would make any
statement on the problem for
publication. Their answer to
questions was a firm "no com
ment."
Dye said the opinion of the AFC
was that fraternities should. be
reprimanded for drinking viola
tions if they "did not care to fol
low the advice" that the coun
selors would give them.
About 15 persons attended the
AFC meeting, according to secre
tary Gehman. They were frater
nity faculty advisors and the two
deans. '
The opinions we r e "unani
mous" on the drinking problem,
Gehman said.
Another phase of the problem
that was agreed on by the AFC
members and the deans was that
closer action between - the coun
selors and the dean of men's of
fice was needed in dealing with
this and other problems. Simes
pledged his support of • a plan to
"work closer together" with the
counselors, according to Gehman.
During the discussion of frat
ernity drinking, one of the coun
selors presented for consideration
a plan used at another university
where the dean of men uses an
n. tric ate "spy -system" and
"checkers" to discover fraterni
ties violating rules.
- No adoption of theie methods
at the College was seen likely,
according to one member of the
AFC.

Eng Council
Constitution
Is Changed
The Engineering Student Coun
cil last night unanimously adopted
several changes in its constitution.
The chang,es had been read and
approved at two previous meet
ings.
Included in the adopted changes
was a requirement whereby the
president must be a sixth ow
eighth semester student with two
semesters of undergraduate work
remaining. He would not be limit
ed, however, to a single term.
Also, the president will now be
elected by the outgoing council.
Previously, the president was
elected by both the outgoing and
incoming councils.
Other changes in the constitu
tion will permit the nomination
of a candidate by write-in ballot,
school-wide elections instead of
the present separate department
set-up, the voting by certified al
ternates in the place of council
members, and the requirement of
a 1.2 All-College average for coun
cil candidates. • -
The recommendations of the
council's ethics committee con
cerning. the handling of student
dishonesty in the , Engineering
School were tabled for further
study.
Criticism of the follow-up and
preparation courses in English'
composition, before and after the
English usage test is given, was
also voiced. A committee com
posed of Max Schuster, John
Gaul, and John Hahn was ap= -
pointed to investigate the matter,
