PAGE TWO Proposal to Extend Class Ring Purchase Rejected by Cabinet A proposal to permit fifth semester juniors to purchase official class rings was over whelmingly defeated by All-College Cabinet last night. , The proposal was presented to cabinet by Robert Smoot, substitute for Edward Haag, chairman of the ring committee. Smoot said in the report that in view of the expense in volved in the purchase of the rings, fifth semester students should be declared eligible to purchase the ring, thus giving the student the option of wearing the ring an additional se ' mester before graduation. The plan was opposed by Harry Shank, president of the Educa tion Student Council; David Ar nold, All-College secretary-treas urer; and Richard Crafton, sen ior class president. They said they believed the ring should not be sold to juniors because the rings then would not carry the proper significance. Arnold added, more over, that he believed few stu dents would purchase their rings before the end of the fall semes ter. Sixth, seventh, and eighth semester students are now per mitted to buy the ring. Committee Increase In other actions of cabinet, Ma rie Wagner, chairman of the cam pus blood drive committee, recom mended that the membership of the committee be increased, by having every major campus or ganization sending a representa tive to the committee “in order to carry on the work more effi ciently and in order to take on more worthwhile projects.” Terry Stuver, presenting the report for the National Students’ Association, recommended the establishment of a system for the distribution of promotion material on the present blood drive pro gram, and that the American Red Cross be contacted concerning student’s rights to designate the. area in which they wish their blood donation to be used. The establishment of a promo tion system, Stuver said, was de signed to give students informa tion concerning what the blood program does, how it operates, and what part campus donations play in the national program as a whole. NSA Recommendations The designation of blood con tributions, as well as the first recommendation, were in accord ance with the fifth National Stu dent Congress of the NSA, Stuver said. Under this program, he said, students may designate the area, military or domestic, general or specific, for which the donation may be used. Leonard Goodman, seventh se mester arts and letters major, and Fury Feraco, seventh semester arts and letters major, were named to Tribunal by All-College President Richard Lemyre. Lemyre also appointed three persons to be co-chairmen of Spring Week committees. He said these co-chairmen would serve as understudies to the present chair men and may be eligible to serve as chairmen next year. Ross Clark, fifth semester business adminis tration major, was named Carni val co-chairman; Baylee Fried man, fifth semester arte and let ters major, Mad-Hatters; and Bar bara Wallace, seventh semester music education major, He-Man Slni@s-Gives Punishment Explanation By JACK REID Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, yesterday explained the reasons for the apparent discrepancy be tween penalties • inflicted upon two students as a result of the Theta Xi drinking case occurring Junior Prom Weekend. The penalties were imposed af ter a Thompson Hall coed was re turned late to her dormitory fol lowing the Junior Prom. The wo man was in an intoxicated con dition and was taken to the In firmary. Later investigations revealed the woman had been served alco holic beverages at Theta Xi. According to Simes, the penal ties were imposed by two unre lated University enforcement groups. Judicial acted on the woman’s case and Tribunal im posed the penalties on her escort. 3-Week Campus The coed, a first semester stu dent, received a three-week strict campus on charges of drinking and returning to her dormitory 40 minutes late. Strict campus means that she may not leave campus during the three-week period and may not leave her dormitory after 5:30 p.m. Tribunal has recommended to the Dean of Men’s office that her escort be given a deferred sus pension from the University for conduct detrimental to the name of _ the University, under age drinking, and for negligence in the responsibility for the conduct of himself and his date. Fine. Also Imposed The Senate Committee on Stu dent Affairs Wednesday placed Theta Xi on 14-week social pro bation, imposed a §2OO fine, and removed the vice ■president and social chairman of the house from office. They will be given a hear ing by the Dean of Men’s office to determine their individual re sponsibility. Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs and secretary of the committee, said the house was found guilty of violating two regulations of the JFC Code for unchaperoned dating. These were the rules dealing with the serving of alcoholic beverages and pro hibiting freshman women from attending unchaperoned fraternity social functions. TV Installed In West Dorms After a delay of several weeks, the television receiver for the West Dorm area has finally been permanently installed in the rec reation room of Hamilton Hall, Carl Hiester, television committee head, announced yesterday.

Studentfe are the active and voting mem bers, others are associate mem bers. ■Using examples of this and many other outing clubs as a guide, Penn State will be able to develop and capitalize on the many national recreational re sources in the State College area. Beaver Dam in Logan State Forest is being developed, said Professor Fred M. Coombs, pro fessor of physical education, speaking to the group. In this area, nine miles from the campus, on route 45 beyond Pine Grove Mills, ' 97 acres have been leased from the Department of Forests and. Waters. Recreation major students of the Phys Ed school are now re pairing the dam and clearing the area so that it can be used for ice skating. Since the five acre pond is located in a sheltered site, more ice skating may be possible. The 63,355 acres of the state FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1953 Murals Are Major Project Of Art Class The Temporary Building may be plain, but the walls are the most adorned surfaces on cam pus. The murals in various stages on the walls are the semester pro ject of the art education 487 class taught by Dr. Viktor Lowenfeld, professor of education. While still in the classroom the 18 art-ed students choose a topic that is most interesting to them: nature, the dance, life, .a day, and others. They then select a selec tion of wall in Temporary to which the painting may be adap ted. ' Abstract, realistic, or expres sionistic treatment can be applied to the topic. After various draw ings and subdrawings have been done the sketches are traced on a large scaled master ■ drawing. The section of wall the student has chosen is then marked off in squares corresponding to the master drawing, and the student begins a charcoal outline. When light switches, structural beams, doors and windows, cor ners and coat racks must be blended into the mural the job is undoubtedly challenging. The mural is to be painted for the student himself. The usual technique is to enlarge the ma jor object to give it precedence. Thus the weird impression is ac quired by the work. The student is to have no pre-decided color scheme. The only -consideration concerns the surrounding murals, and a general agreement between the students to use bright, vig orous colors adds surprising unity to the separate murals. forest in Centre and Huntingdon counties will be developed for boating, swimming, resident and pioneer camping. The Penn State Outing Club' is being organized under the com bined sponsorship of the All-Uni versity Cabinet Recreation Com mittee and the recreation curric ulum of the School of Physical Education and Athletics. “The organization of a Penn State Outing Club could be the beginning of one of the biggest and most valuable organizations Penn State has ever had from a recreational standpoint,” White said. Club members will go to Bea ver Dam to clear the area for future student recreation. Anyone interested in the project and in the club may report at 1:30 p.m. Sunday to the parking lot behind Osmond, Fred Coombs, professor of physical education, said. Graduates and undergraduates may become members. Faculty members and residents of State College may become associate members.
