Ed Council Reviews Teachers' Expenses Education Studerit Council last night heard reports concerning prices charged women student teachers who return to the College for weekend visits and concerning the room assignments for, these student teachers. Specific recommendations will be made from this and further informatioi at the next council meeting. Some of the facts are that women student teachers may not return to Campus unless they stay in the dormitories. They ar e charged $1.50 per night, have no dining facilities, and sometimes do not receive clean linen.- Although room and board charges are cut in half for these students, they must pay the full athletic and incidental charges for the..;semester. To take advantage of these costs they must return to the campus. Concerning room assignments, sorority women may not stay in their suites the semester they are to student teach. This is a dis advantage to eighth semester women. Women living in a double room must pay extra cost for a single room and have no access to the closet or dresser not in use.

R. stu dent pleaded guilty to a reckless driving charge and was fined $4 by Tribunal last night with rec-: ommendations going to the Dean of Men's office that he be placed on probation and that his campus driving privileges be suspended for the remainder of the school year.

He was observed at 3:40 a.m. Dec. 17 by a campus night pa trolman. He admitted having three other students in his car. In other actions taken by Tri bunal, two students were placed on two-week probation and were fined for incurring second of fenses.

Centennial Theme to e College's Gains, Values Centennial Year at the College, 1955, will have as its theme the presentation of the College's achievements and value to the state, according to C. S. Wyand, chairman of the centennial committee. _ . The programs during the year will stress both the value of Penn State in the future and its "contributions in the past 100 years, he said. The program will also stress the ways the College. can be of service in adjusting people to their future environments. Most activities planned for the year will stress themes of popular understanding rather than tech nical or academic realms, Wy and said. This dcies not mean that ...such activities will be ig nored, he said, but that they will be confined to the needs and in terests of the people of the Com monwealth. The major centennial event is planned for Feb. 22, 1955, the day just 100 years after the chartering of the College as Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania. Other theme ideas will be planned throughout the year. in. the . hope of coordinating the centennial idea with other College activities. Two committees have •b ee n arced to plan centennial activi- Met at two meetings. The next meeting of cabinet after this week will be the first week of February- Emery Richardson, chairman of the cabinet radio committee, is expected to ask for approval for student support at tomor row's meeting. .It is no yet known whether Richardson will suggest a means of raising the money, but Laubach said the most likely method would be the assessment of 15 cents _on the student fees each semester. This would rai s e the $3OOO which is needed to pay half the yearly expenses of the station. It was learned earlier this week that the College administration is considering paying the additional $3OOO needed to provide a total of $6OOO a year for support of the station. Members of cabinet will expect a guarantee that the station would be expanded to reach students in fraternities and t own houses, Laubach said. At present,-equip ment planned- for use would cov er at least half the students, those in the West Dormitories, Nittany- Pollock, and the three large worn en's halls. If there is any delay in cab inet approval it will likely result 'from the lack of such a -guarantee -or in-a dispute over who would control the station, Laubach said. David R. Mackey, a member of President Milton S. Eisenhower's radio committee, said earlier this week that a number of plans have been suggested concerning con trol. Among these were a student faculty board of control and other joint student-administration and student-faculty organizations. Mackey said he plans to attend the cabinet meeting in order to answer any questions which may arise. When and if cabinet gives its approval to student support of the station, notification of this approval would be sent to the Office of the President, through which the matter of administra tive financial support would be handled. Cabinet might pass a general approval of the support without mentioning a method of raising the fees, Laubach said, and wait upon action from the President's (Continued on page eight) ties.
