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

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.
Approximately 50 to 75 chairs
have been placed in the rec room
to facilitate everyday viewers.
Hiester said that more than 100
persons may be accommodated
for special viewings,
The original plan to set view
ing hours has temporarily been
sidelined by the television com
mittee. A two-week trial period
will be run to determine if hours
for viewing will be needed. The
set will be available to anyone
during the next two weeks.
Hiester also said that the reg
ular rules of the West Dorm code
will be in effect' regarding the
hours that women may view pro
grams.

Thirty Organize Outing Club
By NANCY GRAY
Over thirty students met last
week in Willard to organize a
Penn State Outing Club, a group
that would provide and improve
ice skating, boating, swimming,
and all outdoor recreation by its
activities. .
Harold White, assistant profes
sor of recreation, explained that
the club is modeled after the
Dartmouth Outing Club. It was
formed to stimulate an interest
in outdoor life, for a more crea
tive use of leisure time, and to
develop higher personal traits.
The Dartmouth Outin? Club has
had a successful career serving
thousands annually for over 40
years. The organization is sepa
rated into three interest groups
who take charge of various ac
tivities on the campus.
They are the winter sports di
vision with particular emphasis
on skiing; the cabin and trail di
vision, maintaining 100 miles of
trails and 20 cabins and the carn
ival division presenting the na
tionally known Dartmouth annual
winter carnival.

The Dartmouth Outing Club is
made up primarily of students
but is open to the faculty, and
all interested persons. Studentfe
are the active and voting mem
bers, others are associate mem

■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.

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

of physical education, said.
Graduates and undergraduates
may become members. Faculty
members and residents of State
College may become associate
members.
