Vetoes Fee
Consolidation
.The Agriculture Student Coun
cil voted last night to oppose the
proposed consolidation of fees be
cause of its effects on the Perm
State Farmer, a c9uncil publica
tion.
At present 75 cents •is collected
by the School of Agriculture each
semester. Fifty cents goes to the
Farmer and 25 cents to extra-cur=
ricular activities.
Boyd Wolff, former editor of
the Farmer, explained that ap
proximately $l7OO is now collect
ed to help finance the Farmer's
publication.- He said about ,$3OOO.
is received from advertising.
Unless the consolidated fee was
high enough to support the Farm
er, Wolff said, it would be neces-•
sary to sell subscription and in
dividual copies.
Richard Stanley, council presi
dent, said the other school coun
cils do not feel the need for the
money which they would receive
if the , fee were consolidated, be-1
cause they do not sponsor as
many activities as does Ag• coun
cil. . •
Stanley appointed Fred Seipt,
James Hay, and William Brooks

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.
