night by Dean of Men Frank J.
Simes. Simes said he caught six
students, .including two women,
in possession of alcoholic bever-'
ages 'at the booth.
The four men have been placed
on office probation for an indefi
nite period, Siines said. Nanies-of
the two wonien were turned over
to Dean of Women Pearl 0. WeS
ton • who said she will turn the
name of one, a graduate student,
over to Graduate School Dean
Harold K. Shilling, and the name
of the coed over to the chairman
of Judicial for disciplinary action.
Seven Arrested
Simes said he could not be sure
the students were drinking, but
they did have bottles in the booth.
They were disciplined under a
College regulation forbiding pos
session of alcoholic beverages on
campus, Simes said.
Simes reported yesterday that
seven students, arrested while
serenading coeds at Juniata Col
lege, Huntingdon, at 1:30 a.m. last
Friday and fined for disorderly
conduct Tuesday, have been,
placed on disciplinary probation
for an indefinite period by the
Senate committee on student af
fairs.
According to Simes, the stu
dents, all freshmen, had driven to
Huntingdon to return a borrowed
tuxedo. They then decided it
would be a nice gesture to ser
enade the coeds, and proceeded
to do so, until a janitor called
Huntingdon police. Three of the
students were standing on the
dormitory's fire escape when po
lice arrived, Simes said.
Warnings Issued
Although the Players-Radio
Guild booth was the only one
closed, all booths received warn
ings they should use discretion

shows on_ the carnival midway.
Action by. Simes was the only
instance of administration action
at the carnival. After meeting
with campus leaders, Director. - of
Student Activities George L. Don
ovan said the groups preferred
to let students ta k e charge of
booth discipline. A member of
the committee said the Spring
Week committee has the right to
close any booth ignoring the
warning.
"Radio and TV Impersonations"

operate with the College as licen
see and the station subject to

fold. It is to serve the Depart
ments of Speech, Journalism, Dra
matics, Music, and otherinter
ested departments in t r a i n i n'g

work; to offer opp,ortunities for
other students and student organ-

6-Day Week
For Students
Is Hinted
The possibility of mare Satur
day classes in the future, or even
under the present plan, may be
the outcome of an evaLuation of
the class schedule of th.-e College
now under way by the Council
of Administration.
The proposed changes, ark
flounced by Wilmer E. Kenwor
thy, director of student affairs
and spokesman for the group,
could not occur before tie Spring
semester of 1954, it was revealed.
More Saturday Classes
The statement issued by Kerk
worthy reads:
"It is true that the class sched
ule of the College is under con
sideration by the Council of Ad
ministration at 'the present time
in an effort to evaluate the pre
sent schedule and determine whe
ther or not any improvements
can be made. The impression is
being given that there are now
no ,Saturday classes and that a
`return' to Saturday classes is
contemplated. The fact is that the
present schedule provides for
Saturday classes, although there
are not as Many as on other, days.
It is possible that there may
have to be more SaturdaY classes
in the future under a revised, ar
even under the present plan. No
change in schedule could be ef
fective before the Spring semester
of 1954, and as yet no ation has
been taken to make any major
changes.
Factors involved in considera
tion of the possible increase in
Saturday classes are:
1. More effective use of facili
ties, such as laboratories,
• 2.• Need for spreading the
schedule to provide more free
hours during the week and some
unscheduled time for meetings of
organizations and faculty - com
mittees."
Further Talk Monday
KenwOrthy said the statement
was released to combat rumors
circulating about campus con
cerning the proposed changes.
Many of them have been false
or contorted and the statement
was designed to set the issue
straight, he said.
Further discussion anal possi
ble action will take place Monday
at the next meeting of the Coun
cil of Administration. The coun

vision; and to. serve as a medium
through which appropriate types
of research in radio education and
training methods may be con
ducted.
The policy calls for a, completely
non-commercial station. Student
participation will be part of the
academic program or an extra--
curricular activity, it states. Un
der the procedure, the acceptance
of the gifts of the Classes of 1951
and 1952 are contingent upon
plans which would be approved
by President Milton S. Eisen
hower and the Board of Trustees.
To assist in the direction of the
station, the plan calls fox a 16-
member board of directors, eight
of whom will be students. Student
members will be station manager,
prograin director, business man
