7 • Faculty Men Seek Election
Seven College faculty members
are candidates for borough of
fices to be filled in today’s elec
tions by the votes of 5383 eligible
citizens of the county borough’s
six precincts.
In the state election, members
of the Commonwealth will be
called upon in a referendum to
decide whether there should be a
constitutional convention and
four amendments to the consti
tution.
The nine borough offices open
include burgess, three council
men, three school directors, tax
collector, and auditor, in addition
to election officials.
No local issues, such as the
Sunday movie controversy or the
local option on the sale of beer,
will be decided in the election.
David R. Mackey, assistant pro
fessor of speech and general man
ager of campus radio station
WDFM, opposes Leon D. Skinnei’,
assistant professor of English
composition, for the office of the
burgess which will be vacated
Jan. 1 by E. K. Hibshman.
Mackey, who has never before
held public office, is fighting to
overcome the registration major
ity held by Skinner, GOP candi
date and now a member of the
town council.
Charles F. Lee Decker, instruc
tor of political science and assist
ant executive secretary of the
Institute of Local Government;
Roy D. Anthony, former faculty
member, and George Robert
Smith are the Republican candi
dates for the three council seats..
The GOP holds all seven seats, on
the borough’s .governing body.
The Democrats who hope to
break the Republican domination
are William M. Garner/ of the
federal pasture laboratories, War-
hand down a decision that can
allow the name The Pennsylvania
State University to be adopted.
It is up to the discretion of-Judge
Walker as to how long it will be
before this final action is taken.
Official sources, however,
pointed out that there are several
“if’s” that must be answered be
fore it can be assumed that such
action is possible on Friday. Then
the dates are still tentative.
.The biggest “if” is the question
of whether or not Judge Walker
has as yet submitted the request
for the change in charter to the
Council. He is the one responsible
for doing this but he makes no
announcement when it is done.
It is felt that he is in a posi
tion to have submitted the, re
quest, however.. This is because
there has been no objections to
the name change filed with him.
since the petition was formally
presented to the court last week.
This v request, if submitted to
the Council, must be acted on by
them within 90 days, and since
they meet quarterly, this is the
logical time for them to act.-This
! is so, if the request has been given
to them by Judge Walker.
As to their meeting, it is
planned, tentatively, for; Friday,
but the date is flexible. In the
event members of the Council are
unable to attend the meeting, it
can be changed.
The formal presentation of the
petition was made last Monday
by Roy Wilkinson, Jr., Bellefonte
attorney for the College. The ac
tion was the result of a unani
mously approved order by the
Board of Trustees.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Fishburn
Explains
Band Show
Three stages of planning pro
duce the formations given by the
Blue Band, Hummel Fishburn, di
rector Of the College marching
band, told the Faculty Luncheon
Club yesterday in the State Col
lege hotel.
The first step, getting ideas, is
the hardest, Fishburn said, fol
lowed by the plotting and execut
ing of these ideas.
The band has been presenting
seven shows each fall since 1938,
he said. The formations are based
on approximately four topics: the
College itself, the competing -col
lege, holidays and special events
or days that arise during the year.
The latter topic is exemplified
by the recent formation of the
band concerning a Mexican wed
ding, Fishburn explained, based,
on that situation which arose in
State College during the summefi
The formation given during
halftime of the Penn State-West
Virginia game was based on the
holiday topic. The outline of a
pumpkin, witch, cat and cider jug
made by the band all
around a Halloween theme.
The time element is most im
portant in deciding on formations,
Fishburn said. Fifteen minutes is
allowed the band for its perform
ance, and two minutes of this time
is taken in getting on the field
and clearing it after the show.
The Alma Mater takes over one
minute, he added.
In plotting the decided forma
tion, each of the 96 men making
up the band is given a number.
Each formation is mapped out-'on
graph paper, allowing graphical
ly a space, of two and one half
yards between each man every
time the lines cross.
The real problem in plotting
Fishburn stated, is the difference
between the looks of a formation
on paper and on the field.
The final step, executing and
teaching the formation, requires
perhaps the greatest amount of
time. Each Monday evening the
band meets to see the formations
illustrated on a blackboard. Each
man makes a note of his position
in every formation, according to
the. number given him.
Final practice of the Blue Band
formations takes place on Satur
day morning of the day- the game
is played, Fishburn stated.
constitution subject to ratification

The four amendments deal

concerns, the court of common

AIM Amendments
Ready for Board
The organization committee of the- Association of Independent
Men last night/formulated several amendments to the present AIM
constitution which will be presented for approval to the AIM Board
of Governors at their next meeting.
It was decided that under the reorganization plan, the body of
the General Assembly will con
sist of floor presidents, dormitory
presidents, and town area repre
sentatives, ,two men from each of
the 21 wards in'town.
This new plan would make the
General Assembly a body of 101
members, plus standing commit
tees. This would make an average
of one representative for every
57 independent men at the Col
lege.
Representative Breakdown
A breakdown of. the represen
tation by areas shows approxi
mately one representative for each
44 men in the Nittany Dorm area,
approximately one representative
for each 56 men in Pollock Cir
cle, approximately one represen
tative for each 70 men in the
West Dorm area, and approxi
mately one representative for
each 59 men in the town area.
It was also decided to include
the present advisory board under
the executive board. The execu
tive board will, be. made up of
the president of AIM who will act
as chairman and in addition. to
the AIM vice-president, secretary
and treasurer.
It was also decided that the
Executive Board will have the
following powers: the power to
make agendas for the General
Assembly, and to grant to any
man the right to attend and pre
sent to the AIM Judicial Board of
Review any matter which con
cerns student welfare.
Under the new plan, AIM offi
cers will be elected by a plurality
of the male, voting, undergraduate
students .of the General Assem
bly. This would take the place of
the older plan, which allowed for
election of by popular
vote of all independent men.
In other action, it was decided
that all AIM impeachment pro
ceedings will be referred to the
Judicial Board for a decision on
the validity of the charges. Im
peachment charges, if found valid,
would be subject to approval by

For Counselors
All-College Cabinet Thursday
night accepted a recommendation
presented by Joe Somers,- presir
dent of the Association of. Inde
pendent Men, asking -that : resi
dent counselors be relieved of
non-counseling duties the first
day of Orientation Week.
‘ Somers presented the amend
ment for Ross Clark, chairman
of the student counselor relations
workshop at the second annual
Student Encampment where the
recommendation was formed.
Relieving the counselor from
these duties would establish him
in the true role as counselor, and
would promote good public rela
tions between parents and the
College, Clark said in his report.
At the encampment, it was point
ed out that counselors were' -to
distribute room keys to new stu
dents as they arrived.
Cabinet also heard the second
reading of an amendment to the

mittee on student affair’s sub

will be taken at. the next meet
ing of cabinet. The constitution
now provides that appeals of Tri
