Williams, dean of admissions and registrar, said immediately after action was taken by the court changing the College to the Pennsylvania State University, the order for the diplomas was recalled and a new one embodying the changes placed.

PENNSYLVANIA When the order was recalled, Williams said, 400 of the needed 600 certificates had already been done. He explained it was felt students would rather have a de lay in receiving their diplomas than receive one bearing college markings. Schools May Be hanged He said if the academic divi sions now referred to as schools were changed to colleges this would also be included on the re vised diplomas. It is expected the Board of Trustees will consider this question at their monthly meeting Friday. Changes involved, Williams pointed out, would be substituting the word university for college in the heading, three times in the text, and in the seal. The master engraving is done on silver, he said, and added that this will be the first change since the early 20’s. Grade prints or transcripts, as they are popularly called, will also be relabeled to read univer sity, he said. This will be done for all students still in school while former students will have the change noted on their records as the need or occasion arises, he said. Expects Little Confusion Williams stated that he felt very little confusion would come from the name change and there will be no more conflict with the Uni versity of Pennsylvania than now exists.

The conference is an organization of fraternities, which gather to discuss mutual problems and I to advise action. The conference meets in sessions of the national officers of the fraternities and in separate sessions of the under graduates. The “autonomy resolution” of the conference was adopted in the sessions of the national offi cers. The report of the committee on fraternity autonomy supported the adoption of the resolution “as a result of effort by several col lege administrators to regulate membership criteria of the frat ernities on their respective camp uses,” which “constitutes a most I serious threat to the entire frat ernity system.” Resolution 'Objective' The report also laid emphasis upon the “fact that the resolu tion neither contains nor implies opinion with respect to the de sirability or undesirability of ra cial or religious discrimination in fraternity membership.” The resolution as adopted reads: 1. That “each member frater nity should have the right to adopt qualifications for membership ap plicable to all its chapters free from any interference" or restric tion by any non-member. Self-Government Defended 2. That any attempt to restrict or regulate the right of a frater nity to choose its own members from among students in good moral and scholastic standing in any college or university in which it has a chapter is an inadvisable interference with the democratic processes of self-government and with the fundamental principle of free asssociation. 3. That in accordance with such principles, the National Interfrat ernity Conference declares itself in favor of fraternity autonomy with respect to fraternity mem bership.” Reorganization Effected A reorganization of NIC was also effected at this year’s meet ing. Under the new plan, a House of Delegates may be convened on a month’s notice. The group would then have full jurisdiction to act. Representing the University at the conference were Edwin Kohn, seventh semester industrial engi neering major; Temple Reynolds, seventh semester forestry major; Frank J. Simes, dean of men; and O. Edward Pollock, assistant, to the dean of men in charge of frat ernity affairs. / 1081 Get Prom Refunds Refunds of $1.50 each on Jun ior Prom tickets have been re turned to 1081 students, George L.
