Freshmen Complain
Of Customs Laxity

Showers and storm clouds placed no damper on freshman spirit
yesterday as some 20 hatmen and hatwomen put frosh through cus

The greatest complaint of customs laxity came from the frosh
't making us 'button' enough. .We

Although upperclassmen joined

Plan to Change
Registration
Under Study
Eliinination of registration by
class is now under consideration
by the College.
This is one of several possibili
ties being studied for remedying
future tie-ups similar to the one
which occurred in Recreation
Hall during fall registration last
week, C. 0. Williams, College reg
istrar, has announced.
Under the proposed plan, all
students would register alphabet
ically regardless of semes t e r
standing. This method was con
sidered when centralized registra
tion began in Rec Hall last fall,
he said.
However, the present registra
tion method was adopted on the
assumption that it might be nec
essary for a senior to schedule a
course which might otherwise be
closed in order to graduate, Wil
liams said. The present system
gives seniors preference in course
selection, he said.
Rotation of the alphabetical
listings of all students during a
four year period is included in
the present set-up, he said.
Only four cases of discipline for
illegal registration have been
handled by the College so far,
Williams reported. The trend
away from the 27 cases handled
last fall is a good sign, he said.
Students are to be commended
for their coperation, Williams ad
ded.
Three of the four students who
tried to register out of sequence
were placed on office probation,
and were required to register yes
terday and pay, the $lO late reg
istration fee, Dean of Men Frank
J. Simes reported. Office proba
tion, he said, is a warning that
any further difficulty would re
sult in more serious disciplinary

'Nice Treatment'
Despite frequent doses of Penn
State weather, crowds of green
dinks and black hats gathered all
day along the east side of the
Mall and in front of the Carnegie

"They treat us real nice," a
frosh commented. "If we didn't
know our songs, they let us get
out our song sheets."
The' Student Handbook, or
Freshman Bible, containing the
school songs and cheers, has not
yet been given to freshmen, but
should be ready for distribution
later this week, according toßich

have been learning songs and
cheers from mimeographed sheets
given them last weekend.
No customs violations have been
reported, Thomas Farrell, chair
man of Freshman Customs and
Regulations Board, - announced at

Aid - of upperclassmen in cus

Farrell said. '
The board last night lifted the
freshman regulation on dating,
that "freshman men and women

The United States delegation,
through its' spokesman, blasted
Vishinsky's speech and his clos
ing resolution as a "rambling re
hash of what we have heard
many times before."
The spokesman said the .dele
gation was disappointed that
Vishinsky had given a negative
response to the proposals of Sec
retary of State John Foster Dulles
in his speech opening the Assem
bly's debate last Thursday.
Dulles told the Assembly the
United States was standing pat
on plans for control of the atomic
weapon and for arms limitation
which have been approved by
past assemblies. He said the time
has come for the UN to gather all
necessary information on these
subjects so it can take advantage
of any change in the world situa
tion that would bring about a set-'
