Senate to Hear
Rules Changes
Four changes in the Regulations for Undergraduate Studenth
will be recommended by Herbert R. Albrecht, chairman of the Sen
ate committee on rules, when the College Senate meets Jan. 8.
Albrecht will recommend the reinstitution of the practice of
reporting below grades at midterm. At present Rule P-2 states
that if a student is failing 50 per cent or more of his scheduled
Scholarship
Program
Advocated
A more complete College schol
arship and awards program for
undergraduate students was advo
cated by three student speakers
at last Thursday's Honor Society
Council meeting.
Five-minute talks on scholar
ship, presenting ideas and sug
gestions of students of the Schools
of Engineering, Education, Lib
eral Arts, Mineral Industries, and
the College at large, were given.
- Pointing out that many college
graduates find work in other than
their major fields, Ben Euwema,
Dean of the Liberal Arts school,
said that to be educated one must
have a general education. Society
expects this, he said.
The establishment of clinics
within each curriculum, in which
students having scholastic diffi
culties could meet with faculty
members and member s of the
honor societies, was advocated by
Charles Smeltzer, student repre
sentative of the School of Min
eral Industries.
- Donna Carlson, representing the
All-College viewpoint, discussed
Education 105, which she said is
basic to students poor in spelling,
vocabulary, reading skills, and
study habits.
A closer student-faculty rela
tionship was urged by Douglas
Schoerke, representing the Liberal
Arts school.
The discussion program, entit
led "Furthering Scholarship at
Penn State," lasted 50 minutes.

credits at the end of the first
eight weeks of the semester, he
shall be notified by his dean and
warned of impending dismissal.
Further, his dean shall notify the
parents or guardian of the student
that dismissal is impending.
The recommended c hang e,
which would implement the pres
ent regulation, reads: "At the end
of the first eight weeks of each
semester the name and grade of
each student whose class grade at
that date falls below passing must
be reported to the student's dean."
Social Clause Change
The committee will recommend
that the calendar committee re
sume the practice of publishing
the date when below grades at
midterm are to be reported by the
instructors to the student's dean.
'As a result of a request from
the Senate committee on student
affairs, Albrecht will recommend
that in Rule Z-2-e the words
"filed with" be changed to "ap
proved by" so that the rule will
read as follows: The date of the
social function and the names of
the chaperons shall be approved
by the dean of men and the dean
of women at least one week be
fore the event. This rule coverr
student social organizations.
Readmission Extension Asked
Under graduation requirements.
the committee will recommend a
change in Rule E-5, which would
clarify the College ruling on com
pletion of graduate requirements
off campus. The recommendation
reads: "A student who is within
four credits of 12 grade points of
requirements for his degree will
be permitted to complete the re
quirements by extension (includ
ing correspondence) course with
The Pennsylvania State College
without being in violation of the
residence requirements for his de
gree or may earn the necessary
credits (but not grade points) at
another institution whose credits
are acceptable by transfer to this
college without being considered
in violation of the residence re
quirement."
The final recommendation in
Albrecht's report will concern re
admission to the College. The
present Rule A-5 would be ex
tended to cover summer session
admittance. In this case, Rule A-6
would be deleted, since it covers
summer sessions separately. The
rule change would mean that any
student applying for readmission
to the College at any time would
first have to get the recommenda
tion of the dean of his school,
after which action would be taken
by the committee on academic
standards.

THE ADVERTISING AND SELLING of senior class rings by un
authorized companies has been called to the attention of students
by the senior ring committee. Last Christmas advertisements were
sent by an unauthorized company to parents of students, asking
them to buy their ring for a surprise Christmas gift. Although
many persons did not know that any such thing as the official
Penn State ring existed, the ring was standardized in 1950 by the
senior ring committee;The committee suggested that care be taken
so that only the recognized official ring will be bought.
The three companies whose ring has been accepted by the
senior ring committee are: Balfours, Dieges and Clust, and Herf
Jones.
Greeks Invited to Join
Co-Op Buying Plan
. The joint buying committee of the Association of- Fraternity
Counselors and the Interfraternity Council has issued invitations to
additional fraternities to join the buying program and has asked for
estimates on food needed for the
second semester.
The buying committee, which
at present serves 15 fraternities,
has asked that estimates of the
minimum amounts of canned
goods and potatoes that will be
used between Feb. 1 and May 31
by the participating groups be
submitted to 109 Old Main by
Thursday so bids for the food
may be received.
A report mailed both to par
ticipating and prospective mem
bers by Robert K. Murray, AFC
co-chairman, noted that the AFC
IFC committee conducted $7400
worth of business from Septem
ber to December.
The committee takes estimates
from participating fraternities,
totals them, and then accepts bids
on the totals. Contracts are award
ed to the lowest bidder. The esti
mates submitted at the beginning
of the semester are minimum
guarantees and larger quantities
of food may be bought through
the plan during the 'semester.
The AFC-IFC committee will
cease to function as soon as oper
ations can be switched to the
new incorporated Fraternity
Marketing Association. The FMA
will be a permanent buying or
ganization with participating fra
ternities as members of the cor
poration.
The orderly transfer of control
of the buying program from the
joint buying committee to the
FMA and election of corporation
officers will be held next month.

Scholarship
Fund Given
Contribution
A contribution of SI69A has
been given to the Penn State Stu
dent Scholarship Fund by the
Home Economics and Agriculture
Student Councils, William Hay,
fund chairman, announced yester
day.
The money is the proceeds from
the "Apple Jack Jump," a dance
sponsored by the councils Oct. 4 in
Recreation Hall. Jane Mason and
Richard Stanley, council presi
dents, were co-chairmen of the
affair.
It is the first time any two coun
cils have worked together for • such
a cause, Stanley- said. - - •
The fund,. established by an All-
College Cabinet resolution in 1951,
is to aid students with high schol
arship who .must work part-time;
Hay said.
Money for the fund is to come
from students and student organi
zations. The first contribution,
amounting to $lOOO, was received
from the proceeds of last year's
Spring Carnival. -
• The councils' contribution is the
first received this year. Because
the fund was not included in this
year's Campus Chest drive, let
ters were sent to student organ
izations asking for contributions.
Contributions may be addressed
to the Penn' State Student Scholar
-hip Fund and left at the Student'
Union desk 'in Old Main. Hay has
asked groups who are planning to
contribute to do so before Christ
mas if possible.
