Plans Made To Improve Scholarship Plans for bettering s t u den t adviser relationships have been adopted by. Honor Society Coun cil as its specific project for fur thering Penn State scholarship. The Council has decided that by improving the relationship be-' tween advisers and students, a mutual feeling of trust and friend ship will result to better the stu dent's attitude toward his studies and his proper vocation. - The council will study the adviser plans now in use in the different schools to compile a composite plan for use throughout the Col. lege. In obtaining this information, council members will ask deans and representatives of their schools such questions as: Who assigns advisers and advisees? How many advisees does each ad viser get? Do the advisers get to know their advisees other than in scheduling activities and can they get adequate infOrniation" on. the students and their work? • The deans will also be asked if they would be willing to share their adviser plans with the other schools at the College. Other suggestions for .further ing scholarship that the .council is studying are the offering of rewards to make scholarship more desirable, the tutoring of students by honor society members in var. ious fields, and a system of. big brother and big sister advice. in each school. Members of the council noted that the deans of the schools are interested in the project and re ferred them to books and other members of the staff that could help them. IFC Withdraws Unchaperoned Dating Petition The Interfraternity Council has withdrawn its request to allow women to remain unchaperoned in fraternity houses until the time for them to return to the dormi tories, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, di rector of student affairs, has an nounced. Arthur Rosfeld, IFC president, refused to state reasons for with drawing the request. The petition for the change passed the IFC un animously and was sent to the Senate committee on student af fairs. Existing regulations pr o vide that women must be out of fra ternity houses by 8 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 1 a.m. Sat urdays and Sundays. The proposal would have amended section 3-b of the dating code. Two other proposals were "in cluded in the IFC's recommenda tion. One would have removed the requirement that joint fraternity and sorority social activities would . need chaperones. The suggestion did provide that the parties be registered with the dean of men and the dean of women at least one week in advance of the affair. The other request was that fra ternities be given better repre sentation on the Senate committee and on subcommittees, especially when fraternity cases are being presented. FIVE CENTS
