Former First Lady
Has Heavy Schedule
By LYNN KAHANOWITZ
Exclusive to The Daily Collegian
During the only campus stop on her current tour for the Ameri
can Association for the United Nations, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt said
she was trying - to explain to the public "What the United Nations
Is and What It Does."
The former first lady graciously discussed the Asiatic problem
'and the Bricker amendment with
me Wednesday night prior to va
dinner preceding her address in
an 'overfilled Schwab Auditorium.
Being able to almost completely
relax whenever she gets the
chance may be the secret to the
apparent indefatigability of the
68-year-old widow of the late
President. After speaking to 2000
people in Pittsburgh's Carnegie
Music Hall Tuesday night, Mrs.
Roosevelt answered .two large
packages of letters, attended a re
ception, and addressed a luncheon
Wednesday, all in Pittsburgh.
Following the Schwab speech, she
attended a reception and then
departed for New York.

Blood Deadline
Until Monday
Pledge cards and minor's re
lease forms for the campus blood
drive Tuesday through Thursday
may still be turned in at 112 Old
Main, Jack Huber, liaison repre
sentative for the State College
Red Cross unit, announced yes
terday.
,However, Huber added, Mon
day is the "absolute deadline" for
turning in all Slips, and only those
students who wish to give blood
on Thursday may hand them in
on that day. Otherwise, he said,
slips must be turned in today
and until noon tomorrow.
_ .
The reason for handing in slips
as early as possible, Huber ex
plained, is to permit the schedul
ing committee enough time to
make the necessary arrange
ments. All students pledging are
sent post cards remindihg them
of the time they are to give blood,
and this can only be done if slips
are handed in at an early date,
he said.
Forms may still be picked up
at the Student Union desk in Old
Main, the lobby of the West Dorm
lounge,. and from resident coun
selors in the dormitory areas.
Openings for blood donations
are still available on Tuesday
from 10:45 to 11:45 a.m., and from.
2:30 to 3:45 p.m. Also available
are openings from 1:30 to 6:45
p.m. on Wednesday, and from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Each donation takes an hour's
time, Huber said.
The Johnstown Red Cross
Bloodmobile will be at Tempor
ary Union Building during the
drive. Appointments will be
scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m:
Tuesday and Thursday, and from
1 to 7 pan. Wednesday.

"The Bricker amendment," the

The negotiating of executive
agreements would also be hurt,
she said, pointing out that Seri.

Cabinet Condemns
Behavior at Penn
Three Senior Men
Placed on Probation
Three senior men who appeared before Tribunal Tuesday
charged with inciting further mob violence in a demonstration in
' the West Dorm area `Sept. 28 have been placed on office probatiOn
by the Dean of Men's office.
.‘
• Complying with the recommendation of Tribunal, the three men
will remain on office probation,
for their entire senior year, Dean
of Men Frank J. Simes reported.
This decision means, Simes said,
that any further difficulty with
the men will result in an appear
ance before the judicial commit
tee of the College with a recom
mendation for expulsion from the
Dean. of - Men's office. Tribunal
also recommended expulsion if
the _students should be involved
in any further difficulty.
Six Witnesses Appeared
A temporary record of the case
will be placed with the students'
permanent records in the Dean of
Men's office, Simes said. This
will act as a_ conduct reference
report for the year, he added.
Six witnesses testified against
the defendants at the Tribunal
hearing. They included Otto Het
zel, member of Tribunal, who
asked to be disqualified from the
court before a discussion of the
case, a dormitory counselor; and
four hat society members. No
witnesses appeared in defense of
the students.
Heckled Leaders
The 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. Refusing admittance of a
dormitory counselor and student
leaders to their room.
5. Prolonged misconduct detri
mental to the College.
Witnesses who brought forth
the charges originally referred
the matter to the Dean of Men's
office, Simes said; but the matter
was immediately referred - to Tri
bunal, he added. The case could
have been handled in the office
or referred to the disciplinary
committee of the College.
The three students have the
right of appeal to the disciplinary
committee of the College, Simes
said.
A freshman who took part in
the disturbance will have his case
reviewed Tuesday by Tribunal.
Eleven deferred cases of traffic
violation will also be reviewed.

FOR A BETTER. PENN STATE
Cabinet Passe
Traffic Court
Amendment
All-College Cabinet last night
unanimously established a traf
fic court which will hear all traf
fice violation eases in the future.
The approval of the court came
when Cabinet passed an amend
ment to the 'All-College Consti
tution. Thomas Farrell, chairman
of Tribunal, had proposed the
amendment two weeks ago at
cabinet.
Farrell's amendment was amen
ded so that the senior member
of the traffic court would not be
a member,of Tribunal.
The amendment specified that
the Traffic Court will try stu
dents charged with violating
College parking and traffic reg
ulations and may impose • penal
ties authorized by cabinet. Deci
sions of the Traffic Court may
be appealed to Tribunal. ,
The court will be composed of
seven male students appointed
for one-year terms by the All-
College president with .the con
sent of cabinet. The appointments
will be made upon the recom
mendation of the Tribunal chair
man two weeks prior to the end
of the spring semester.
Two sophomores, four juniors,
and one senior will serve on the
court. •The senior will • serve •as
chairman of the court. The soph
omores will be equally distributed
as fraternity men and indepen
dents.
The main purpose of the traffic
court, as set forth by Farrell, is
that of relieving Tribunal of hear
ing traffic violations cases and
to leave this court free to hear
cases of conduct detrimental to
the College.
Cabinet previously adopted a
resolution that violators be pen
alized as follows: first offense, $1
fine and a warning; second of
fense, $4 fine; third offense, re
ferral to the dean of men with a
recommendation that the stu
dent's car be sent home.

Half-Holiday
Proposal
Is Tabled
All-College Cabinet last night
expressed discontent with student
conduct at the Pennsylvania foot
ball game Saturday.
A resolution adopted by cab
rinet said "In view of the fact
that the conduct of certain Penn
State students at the Penn foot
ball game was detrimental to the
good name of the College, All-
College Cabinet recommends that
in the future the student body
conduct itself in a manner to bet
ter rather than stain the • name
of the institution."
The action came after cabinet
tabled the proposal for a half
holiday at a future football game.
Cabinet members felt it would be
wrong to propose a half-holiday
after the conduct in Philadelphia.
Damage has been reported by
Philadelphia hotels. Several let
ters have been received in the
President's office protesting the
student's conduct.
The original motion was pro
posed by All-College Secretary-
Treasurer David Arnold. It was
amended by Robert Smoot. Final
wording was settled by
All-Col
lege President Richard Lemyre,
after several members had tried
to word the resolution.
Committee Duties
In other action by cabinet, two
resolutions from the second judi
ci a 1 reorganization committee
were recommitted, while eight
other resolutions frOm the com
mittee were approved.
The first recommitted resolu
tion, as presented by Thomas Far
rell, committee chairman, dealt
with the membership of the sub
committee on discipline •of the
Senate Committee on Student
Affairs. This committee would re
ceive appeals from Judicial and
Tribunal and hear cases referred
