Cabinet '<?■Consider Measure
On Judicial Appeal Procedure
All-College Cabinet will vote tonight on a constitutional amendment concerning procedure in dis
ciplinary cases appealed from Tribunal and Judicial, and will discuss the composition of a com
mittee to deal with the appeal cases. Cabinet will also hear- the first reading of an amendment
establishing an appeal for decisions of the All-College elections committee.
The revisions of the judicial system were conceived by the second Student Encampment judicial
reorganization committee and
were presented to cabinet pre
viously by Thomas Farrell, com
mittee chairman.
The procedure amendment,
which would refer cases appealed
from Tribunal and Judicial to
the subcommittee on discipline of
the Senate committee on student
affairs, has been read twice be
fore cabinet and will come to a
vote after its third reading to
night. Under the present system

Spring Week
Final Plans
Spring Week plans, including
the two-evening carnival, were
given final approval yesterday by
the Senate committee on student
affairs.
The action, taken on proposals
submitted by George Richards,
chairman of the Spring Week
committee, includes a schedule of
events for Monday through Thurs
day of the week. The announce
ment was made by Dr. Henry S.
Brunner, chairman of the Senate
committee.
Plans passed provide for the
Mad Hatters’ parade at noon Mon
day and the parade through town
and campus and the coronation of
Miss Penn State in the evening.
The He-Man contest is set for
Tuesday, and Wednesday and
Thursday evenings are reserved
for. the carnival.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director
of 'student affairs and secretary
of the committee, said groups en
tering booths in the carnival
would be allowed to set up their
outfits on Tuesday evening, the
day before carniyal opens. This
will enable entrants to do their
work without cutting classes as
has sometimes been done in the
past, he explained.
He said he hoped this confirm
ation and clarification of plans
would -eliminate the confusion
that is currently circulating con
cerning the week. Many people
are under the impression that
Spring Week is only going to last
three days this year instead of
the usual four days, he said.
Richards said the Spring Week
committee is still not sure where
the carnival will be held but the
Physical Plant has suggested they
use the part of Windcrest trailer
camp recently cleared of dwell
ings. He said construction may be
done on the booths between 5 p.m.
and midnight the night before
the carnival opens.
Traffic Court •
Tries 11 Coses
Eleven cases were heard by the
Traffic Court Tuesday night. The
court levied seven fines, sus
pended three cases and dismissed
three other charges.
Six $1 fines were collected from
first offenders anu payment of a
$4 second offense was deferred
until Tuesday.
One first offense charge was
suspended along with two second
violations. In such a case, if the
suspended offender acquires an
other violation, he is required to
pay the suspended fine and the
new penalty.
The court will recommend that
one dependent be issued a park
ing permit by the Campus Patrol.
Two charges of parking in un
authorized areas and one for park
ing a motor scooter beside Schwab
Auditorium were dismissed.
A charge against a graduate
student was referred to the dean
of men and the dean of the Grad
uate school. The Traffic Court
has no jurisdiction over graduate
students.

appeals are referred, to cabinet.
The resolution dealing with the
composition of the disciplinary
committee was given bjaek to the
judicial committee for further
study. Cabinet members previous
ly objected to the chairman of
Judicial or Tribunal sitting on the
appeal committee when they
heard the case. The resolution, as
Farrell will present it tonight,
substitutes the All-College pres
ident or the president of the
Women’s Student Government As
sociation for the chairman of Ju
dicial or Tribunal on the com
mittee membership.
The elections committee amend
ment which will be read for the
first time would refer appeals
from the elections committee to
cabinet. Cabinet recommitted the
amendment which, in its original
form, referred appeals on elec
tions committee decisions to the
subcommittee on organization and
control of the Senate committee
on student affairs.
All-College President Richard
Lemyre said yesterday there may
be a motion from the floor of
cabinet to discuss the selection
of nominees for Who’s Who
Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges, but he
had not been officially informed
of such intentions by cabinet
members.
Cabinet will also hear commit

$20,500 Fire
Caused by
Oil - Burner
The $20,500 fire that left two
students, one faculty member and
seven townspeople homeless last
Thursday was probably caused by
faulty timing in the , building’s
oil Sgt. George A. Hahn,
state fire marshal, told Bruce
Homan, borough fire marshal,
yesterday.
Homan said he and Hahn were
not sure .where the mechanical
failure was, but the investiga
tions were definitely not of a sus
picious nature.
“It was just one of those things,”
Homan said.
The results of the investigation
Students and faculty mem
bers of the department of music
and members of the Blue Band
have started a fund drive to
help Richard Brady, one of the
students victimized by the fire
at 133 N. Barnard street.
A fund box was set up Friday
for Brady in 216 Carnegie.
Brady, seventh semester music
education major and a member
of the Blue Band, lost his tenor
saxophone in the fire. The sax
ophone was valued at $4OO. to
$5OO.
came yesterday afternoon after
a two-day probe by Hahn. Hahn
works out of the Hollidaysburg
state police barracks for the state
Bureau of Fire Protection, a part
of the Pennsylvania State Police.
Part of a state fire marshal’s job,
Hahn said, is to gather statistics
from an investigation for perma
nent state records in Harrisburg.
Damage to the Barnard street
building was estimated at $17,000,
Homan said. Loss of personal pos
sessions was estimated at $3500.
Coed Penalized
For Drinking
A first semester coed has re
ceived a three-week strict campus
on charges of drinking and return
ing to her dormitory 40 minutes
late Friday night.
The penalty, which went into
effect yesterday, was imposed by
the Freshman Customs and Regu
lations Board after the coed and
her escort appeared before the
boai-d Tuesday.
Because .she was unconscious
when she was returned to her
dormitory, the coed was‘taken to
the Infirmary. She was released
Sunday.
The coed’s escort told the board
he brought her back to ths dorm
itory a few minutes before 1 a.m.,
and tried to revive her before tak
ing her into the building.
Erroneous information received
Monday by the Daily Collegian
said the coed had been found in
a snow bank early Saturday morn
ing on the south side of Hamilton
Hall.
People in Cadiz, Spain, are
claiming there is a spring in their
district that gives water “with the
qualities of wine,” but no hang
over.

WDFM to Program
Mock Broadcasting
Preliminary auditions of live programs for radio station station
WDFM will begin Sunday and lead up- to dry run broadcasting
starting Dec. 1, Doris Berkowitz, stationmanager, and John F. Price,
assistant to the general manager, said yesterday.
The dry run, to be broadcast on a continuous seven-days-a-week
basis, will involve mock broad
casting of all scheduled shows
without actual' airtransmission
Time schedules of shows have
not yet been made, final, David
R. Mackey, general manager,
said.
The'date of actual broadcast is
being held up by lack of equip
ment antennae, a broadcasting
tower, and turntable arms, Price
said. Some of the electr&mc equip
ment has been on order since
March, hut has not yet arrived.
Student and faculty suggestions,
made in - a poll conducted two
weeks ago in dormitories and
town living units, were followed
closely in setting up a tentative
program of shows, Price and, Miss
Rerkowitz said.
Letters asking for recommenda
tions for programming were sent
to faculty members and about 250
student leaders, the latter being
asked to obtain recommendations
from the organizations they rep
resent. .
Price and Miss Berkowitz said
faculty response to the poll was
overwhelming, and in many cases
included detailed suggestions for
engineering and transmission.
However, they said, only about
ten of the 250 students notified
replied to the letters, either in
written or verbal form.
Musical shows predominate in
the present tentative program.
This is in accordance with the
trend toward a student demand
for all kinds of music, especially
classical and semi-classical, as
shown by the poll, Price said.
The program will also feature
national, campus, sports and wea
ther news broadcasts.
Human interest shows have
been planned to present promi
nent students and members of the
faculty and administration to ra
dio listeners on a non-academic
level.
Shows have also been planned,
upon student request, which will
explain the operations of. campus
organizations and professional

Price said.
• He said that many of the shows
to be presented will be trans

not have sufficient broadcasting
facilities to produce all live shows.
