FMA Elects New Board Of Trustees A Board of Trustees was elec ted last night at a meeting of the Fraternity Marketing Association ’ at Phi Kappa Sigma. The Board of Trustees consists of five alumni members, two trus tees-at-large, and- five student members. I. C. Boerlin, supervisor of audio-visual aids, was elected alumni trustee for a five - year term and was appointed chairman pro tempore of the board. Other alumni trustees elected for four, three, two, and one-year terms respectively were Richard A. Benefield, Ralph E. Peters, S. H. Campbell, and R. J. Grace. R. K. Murray, assistant profess sor of history, was elected trus tee-at-large for a two-year term, and H. W. Perkins, assistant dean of men, was elected to a similar post for a one year term. The five student trustees elected were Julius Shapiro, Richard Shively, William Mullen, Ted Fra zier, and William Hafley. The FMA, now consisting of 22 members, is an organization of fraternities which makes possible large-scale buying from whole salers. Currently the buying in cludes only canned goods and po tatoes, but as more fraternities take part in the program it can be expanded to include all types of food -and supplies. The idea for the program, designed to re duce fraternity expenses through wholesale buying,' was borrowed from Ohio University where it has been successful. Michelet Manuscripts On Display at Library Books by Jules Michelet and manuscripts concerning the 19th century classic French historian will be exhibited in the ,second floor hall of Pattee Library for the next two weeks. The exhibit includes , a manu script of the class notes of a stu dent of Michelet, soon to be pub lished by Professor Oscar A. Haac of the Romance lnaguages de partment. He found the manu script in a chateau near Rouen, France, in 1948. College Art Association Milton S. Osborne, professor and head of the Department of Architecture, Dr. Harold E.' Dick son, Francis E. Hyslop, Jr., and Dr. Paul F. Norton will represent the College today through Satur day at the annual meetings of the College Art Association of Ameri ca and the Society of Architectural Historians in Cleveland. Greek Week Chairman • Jichard Gibbs, sixth semester industrial engineering major, has been named* chairman of Greek Week this semester, Arthur Ros feld, Interfraternity Council .president, announced yesterday. TODAY'S WEATHER CLOUDY MILDER 4. Styr Hath} <§ Coll :r However, the case has been re ferred to. the Dean of Men’s office and, according to Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, a recommenda tion of disciplinary action would probably come to his office from the committee. According to another source, since students were not warned of any possible consequences of registering out of turn, charges against the students would prob ably be insubordination or de fiance of a College official, ip this case, the registrar. The students were warned about registering out of turn as were many others, but they insisted on returning and trying to register again. Such action would defeat the purpose of the present registra tion system, Williams explained. The system is designed to be as accurate and efficient as possible, and students registering out of turn cause confusion arid slow it down. The alphabetical arrange ment under the present system is important for the success of' the program, he said. Completion Of 3 Buildings Undetermined No definite dates have been set for the completion of three of the four building construction jobs now underway at the College, Walter Wiegand, director, depart ment of physical plant, said yes terday. Wiegand has abandoned orig inally planned completion dates for the new Pattee Library wing, the new chemistry building, and the Rec Hall extension! The change in plans is due to the crit ical steel shortage, Wiegand said. Wiegand also announced there will be no ceremonies •at the cor nerstone laying in the buildings under construction. This includes the nearly completed wing -of Buckhout Lab. Construction work at Holmes Field, site of the future Student Union Building, has been pro gressing steadily since the ground breaking ceremonies Jan. 8. At the present time, bulldozers, trucks, and a power shovel are moving earth to fill low areas and are excavating for the build ing’s foundation. AIM Proposal Requests 6th Semester President By DIEHL McKALIP Association, of Independent Men President William Shifflett, last night proposed a constitutional amendment that if passed would require future AIM presidents to be. sixth semester students at the time of their election. The AIM Board of Governors also -voted in favor of the pro posed 20 cent fee which would be added . to each student’s fees for support of the campus radio station. Final action on the fee will be taken at tonight’s meet ing of All-College Cabinet. Shifflett’s amendment, which will be eligible for adoption up on its second reading at the next AIM meeting, will fill the now lacking section of . the constitution that .provides no' set. rule, .regard-!

The amendment, Shifflett felt, would remove the AIM presi dency from the possible danger of becoming merely a “stepping stone” for other offices. The posi tion offers a perfect situation for the individual holding it to keep himself in the public eye without regard to the group he serves if he-so choses, he added. With such action, he said, the AIM president, who presides over the largest group of students on campus with the. exception of the All-College president, 'would be put on equal footing with the other major office-holders such as IFC president, senior class president, and All-College presi dent. . FOR A bette: Cabinet to Decide Fate of Radio Fee Bodde Says West Could Copy Chinese By CHIZ MATHIAS The Western world could bene fit much from the philosophy of natural harmony in everyday life practiced by the Chinese, Dr. Derk Bodde, professor of Chi nese at the University of Penn sylvania, told a near capacity audience last night in 121 Sparks at the first Liberal Arts lecture. Too much emphasis has been put on the individual in West ern civilization and this has led to internal tension and conflict with his fellowmen, Bodde said. To. the Chinese the individual is but a humble working part of the whole. Everyman recognizes his abilities and finds his place in life where he can work for the best of society, he said. The Chinese has learned that this social adaptation brings harmony and a simple but peaceful life. The slim professor pleaded this simple philosophy of the Oriental as a solution to the ten sions and international strife of the world today. ; Bodde entertained the audi ence with ancient formulas for changing a concoction of beetles, lead, and mercury into gold. Alchemy as a science is erron eously credited to the sages of ancient Alexandria or Europe, Bodde said, but records indicate that the ancient art first ap peared in China in 133 B.C. Such modern institutions as the civil service also can be traced back 2000 years to the dynasties of the ancient emper ors.

The 24 year old student is con sidered “in a safe condition,” ac cording to members of his fra ternity, Alpha Sigma Phi. He is still ' paralyzed from the waist down and has been in Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, since the beginning of Thanksgiving recess. The College mailed Amole his diploma after graduation exer cises. Because he lacked four credits •required for graduation, Amole was classified both an under graduate and a graduate student.

Totatt Dr. Derk Bodde LA Lecture Speaker Organize Cheering At Away Games See Page 4 Confirmation By Trustees is Necessary Final action on a proposed 20-cent a semester fee to sup port a campus radio statical will be taken tonight by All- College Cabinet, according to John Laubach, president. The proposed fee was first ap proved by All-College Cabinet at its last meeting Jan. 15. In order to be valid the fee must be ap proved by a two-thirds majority of All-College Cabinet and must be approved by the Board of Trustees for collection. The All-College Constitution AGENDA Roll call Minutes of previous meeting Reports of officers Adoption of agenda Reports of committee Religion-in-Life Week committee Old business Radio station fee New business Announcements provides that for sums exceeding $lOO approval. must be given at readings in two' consecutive meet ings of cabinet. Originally the fee was asked to be 15 cents per student, a sem ester on a motion by James Ply ler, All-College vice president, but an amendment by David Pellnitz, -chairman of the Board of Publications, raised the amount to 20 cents. The additional money may be used for expansion of radio fa cilities in fraternities and larger town housing units. These units would not have been reached ex cept through frequency modula tion radios under the plans based on the 15-cent fee. It was believed at the time of the last cabinet meeting that the College would agree to match the $3OOO raised under the 15-cent fee plan, but it was not known whe ther the College is willing to go along with matching the $4OOO raised with a 20-cent fee. - The transmitter to be used is an FM transmitter donated to the College. In order to be heard by most students in dormitories, de vices will be needed to convert the signals from FM to amplitude modulation. Cabinet will also hear a report on Religion-in-Life Week by Wil liam Griffith, chairman of the RILW committee. Williams States Drop-add Rule C. O. Williams, registrar, yes terday referred students to the Regulations for Undergraduate Students” in an effort to clarify College policy concerning drop-’ add forms. Section J of the regulations states that with his'adviser’s ap proval, a student may add a course during the first two weeks of a semester, or drop. a course during the first four weeks of a semester. A student may drop a course alter the first four weeks of a semester only upon written ap proval of his dean. Such authori zation is given only under extra ordinary circumstances other than scholastic difficulties. A student will be charged at fee of $2 for each change of sched ule unless the change is necessi tated by the College, in which ? a . s ® the head of the department initiating the change must certify to the dean of admissions in writ ing the fact that an exemption from t.his fee is justified.
