tising staff of the Penn State En . ,

Joseph Bitner, fifth semester in
dustrial ,engineering major, was

TODAY'S
WEATH.SR
RAIN
AND
COLDER,
Kenworthy, secretary of the
Council of Administration, said
the confusion was the result of
a misinterpretation of the newly
adopted calendar policy.
Lemyre Misinformed
He explained that the basis for
judgment that was followed was
a statement of policy to govern
future calendars which • was
adopted on April 9, 1953 by the
College Senate. It 'was not un
derstood that this plan, 'dropping
the holiday, did not go into ef
fect until the fall semester' of
1954, he said. _
Lemyre •said that he asked
members of the Senate calendar
committee if the holiday was
available this semester and they
told him that it was not. He. did
not read the official minutes of
the committee, he' said.
Action on the holiday would
have been taken before the Penn
sylvania game if cabinet had
known, he said. The holiday, can
be taken any remaining football
weekend, he said, and added that
popular sentiment Will probably
favor the Pittsburgh game.
None Next Year
He explained that the action of
All-College Cabinet is only, a rec
ommendation. and • must be ap
proved by the Council of Admin
istration. This group is composed
of ' President, Milt° n- S. Eisen
hower, the assistants to the Pres
ident, the school deans, the deans
of men and women, and the dean
of admissions.
Kenworthy said the. 1953-54
calendar:-was approved by the
Senate on May 1, 1952 before the
calendar policy statement was
passed. •The latter did not effect
this. year but eliminates the holi
day in the 1954-55 and 1955-56
calendars.
The Senate policy, including
the holiday ruling, is not an ac
tual calendar but is
a guide and
limit to the person appointed by
the President to draw up the cal
endar each year. Any conflict
arising in the new policy is to
be resolved by the calendar com
mittee. •

the Dean of Men's office until
the graduation of three senior
men living in the West Dorm
a r ea, charged with inciting
further mob violence in a riot
in the WD area Sept. 28.
The. trio pleaded not guilty to
charges which iricluded failure to
cooperate with campus leaders
who tried to quiet the mob and
conduct which was detrimental to
the College.
Tribunal, after a three and one
half hour meeting, ruled, 5 to 1, in
favor of the office probation. The
group adjourned after midnight.
Two were engineering majors
and the other a commerce major
Asked for Expulsion
Probation, a spokesman of Tri
bunal explained, iifeludes a tem
porary record of the case which
will be placed with the student's
permanent records in the Dean
of Men's office. Tribunal recom
mended expulsion from the Col.
lege for the students if they were
involved in a similar event later
on.
• A member . of Tribunal, Otto
Hetzel, asked to be disqualified
from the court before a discussion
of the case. He was a witness
who testified against the three
men.
A freshman, also faced with
similar charges, will appear be
fore Tribunal next week.
' Six witnesses appeared to testi
fy against the defendants. They
included a -member of Tribunal, a
dormitory counselor, and four hat
society members. No one appear
ed for the defense.
Five Charges Made
The six witnesses were at the
scene attempting to quell th e
Sept. 28 demonstration.
The three seniors were charged
with:
1. Inciting further violence in
the form of cat-calls, heckling
student leaders, and making com
ments 'to the speakers.
2. Confession of their part in
the demonstration to hat men
present at the disturbance.
3. Refusing to cooperate with
student leaders trying to quell
the disturbance.
4. Refusirig admittance of a
dormitory counselor and student
leaders to their room.
5. Prolonged misconduct detri
mental to the College.
First to Arrive
The three pleaded not guilty to.
all charges except the fourth.. It
was reported that they had con
fessed their part in the disturb
ance when _apprehended from a
room occupied by two of the three
students. They denied this last
night before Tribunal.
One witness testified that he
was first to arrive at the defend
ants' room door on the third floor
of — Hamilton. Hall. He added that
he and other student leaders tried
to gain entrance to the room for
at least a half-hour.
The three students refused to
open the door, they claimed, be
cauSe they thought freshmen were
trying to get in. Admittance to
the room was finally gained
through use of a pass key obtained
from a dormitory counselor.
The three insisted they did not
think it was a dormitory , counsel
or at the door, but instead, fresh
men from the disturbance.
