College Future
In Faculty Talk
President Milton S. Eisenhow
er looked ahead to the College's
future course in his speech to the
faculty - Monday afternoon.
Commenting upon the prospect
of increased enrollment at 'the
College, Dr. Eisenhower said state
and national studies - indicate an
increase. in freshman enrollment
from 3600 to 4500 and an increase
in total enrollment from 11,500 to
14,500, between now' and 1960.
"What we must decide, in co
operation with the trustees," 'he
explained, "is whether we shall
expand to meet this demand, try
to stabilize enrollment and con
centrate on improving quality, or
whether to seek the answer some
where between these two ex
tremes."
He pointed out that the tax pay
ing people of the state may well
object to any curtailment, yet ap
prove a . program in which the
College would • expand its off
campus facilities rather than to
continue to develop the central
campus. -
He said these problems were
already under study by the ad
ministration in cooperation with
the trustees, and he expressed the
hope that the faculty would make
its contribution through the vari
ous committees and agencies al
ready established for this pur
pose.
The president reported he was
pleased by the response to the
Penn State Foundation's f irst
fund drive which raised $185,000.
He expressed the hope that in
creased aid from alumni and oth
er private 'sources would event
ually bring the College the many
things it needs which are not ob
tainable through state funds.
He revealed that alumni had
contributed $50,000 to the cost
of ffi'e new Student Union Build
ing and also that the trustees had
voted a substantial sum to the
building fund on behalf of the
faculty.

On Driving Charge
An eighth semester senior in the School of the Liberal 'Arts has
been suspended from the College for the remainder of the semester
for driving 'while under the influence of intoxicating beverages and
while his , driver's license was suspended.
The suspension from college came after a hearing before the dis
ciplinary committee of, the Col
lege. The case was referred to
the committee by the Dean of
Men's office after the arrest in
Bellefonte,
The student will be placed on
disciplinary probation upon his
return 'to College, Frank J. Simes,
dean of men, said. - Disciplinary
probation means that an account
of the case will be attached to
the student's permanent record,
and the student will be barred
from participating in extracur
ricular activities.
The regulation of the College
states:
"A student on probation shall
not participate in any extracur

Representation
Broader Base
By LEN GOODMAN
The final draft of the proposed
reorganization of the Association
of Independent Men has been
completed and will be reviewed
by all elected representatives of
AIM early next week.
Joe Somers, president of AIM,
who will preside at the mass
meeting, stated that the reorgani
zation committee headed by Wil
liam • Shifflett had completed its
work and would be ready to re
port.
The plan calls for an elected
General Assembly composed of
all floor and dormitory presidents
and town representatives. Offi
cers of AIM would be elected by
poplar vote of all independent
men.
Code Under Study
AIM elections would be direct
ed by the AIM elections commit
tee, one of the seven standing
committees of AIM. Byron Field
ing, third semester foreign service
major and NROTC scholarship
student, will head this committee,
Somers said. The group is now
observing elections in the town
area to gain experience in AIM
procedure.
The entire elections code is un
der committee study at the pres
ent time, Somers said. A new code
will be formulated in the near
future, he added.
The final reorganization pro
posal also includes an Advisory
Council of AIM. The council will
include the four from the Execu
tive Council (president, vice pres
ident, secretary, and treasurer of
AIM), the four area presidents,
and the seven standing committee
chairmen.
Vice President Presides
The main function of this group,
Somers explained, ' will probably
be to formulate the agenda for
the meetings of the General As
sembly. These meetings are ex
pected to be held once a month,
he said, with meetings of the
Advisory Council twice a month.
The vice president of AI M
would preside as chairman over

EG, EH, and EJ. Juniors with red
books will sit in EK, NM, and

will sit in NF, NE, and ND. Fresh

NK, NJ, NH, and NG.
Graduate students with season
tickets will be admitted to sec
tion WC. Faculty members will
sit in WD and WE. Holders of
season tickets will sit in sections
