a means of preventing excessive
absences before and after vaca

for further study of the problem.
Several recommendations had
been made, including one calling

who presided over the monthly
meeting, told members this was

32 Years Old
Yesterday’s meeting marked 32
years and two months of exis
tence for the Senate since its es

body is the legislative division
of the faculty.
Under the new rulings, pre
pared by the Senate committee on
rules, the charge for failure to
pay fees on time is $1 for each
day of delinquency up to five
days. If the fee is six to ten days
late, the fine is $lO, and after the
tenth day of delinquencv. the stu
dent is subject to suspension.
Formerly a student failing to
pay his fees in the required per
iod was asessed a flat fine of $5.
Another revision in the rules
(Continued on page eight)
T rustees
May Enact
Revisions
Changes -in the administrative
organization of the University are
expected to be acted upon tonight
at a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees executive committee, a Unit
versity official has revealed.
If the changes are considered,
they will probably involve re
naming existing academic divis
ions now called “schools” as
“colleges,” with major- -divisions
within them becoming “schools”
suitably, subdivided into “depart
ments.”
sPersonnel would also be af
fected with staff members receiv
ing new titles in keeping with
the new academic divisions or the
change in the name of the insti
tution itself. Thus, for example,
deans of schools would become
deans of colleges and the director
of the* College Health Service
would be the director of the Uni
versity Health Service.
Other University bodies would
eceive new hames if the word
.ollege presently appears in their
name, the official said. President
Milton S. Eisenhower told mem
bers of the College Senate yester
day that as of Saturday they
would be the University Senate.
The Trustees in announcing the
name change in-October said the
change in names o'f the academic
divisions would increase the pres
tige of many of the University’s
units while retaining the present
close affiliation now enjoyed
within schools. The'Department
of Forestry was cited as one group
that wanted “school” status to put
it oh a par with similar programs
at other schools.
They pointed out at the time,
however, that such adjustments
do not imply the introduction of
new areas of academic specializ
ation at the expense of the pres
ent program.. Full control of such
matters lies with them, they said,
and a mere change of name to
recognize a position the Univer
sity had already attained would
not alter the situation in any
other way.

Planet Jupiter
May Be Seen
At Observatory
The University observatories
will be open from.B to 10 tonight
and Sunday night, if the weather
is favorable, to view the planet
Jupiter.
Jupiter is the largest and most
massive planet in the solar sys
tem. It is larger than all the other
planets put together.
On Dee. 13 the planet will be
directly opposite the sun and will
be about 390 million miles from
the earth. Dr. Carl A. Bauer, as
sistant professor of physics, said.
This is the closest Jupiter can
come to the earth.
Members of Alpha Nu, astro
nomical society, will operate the
telescopes and answer questions.
Since the observatories cannot be
heated without decreasing' the
quality of the telescopic images,
visitors should dress according to
the weather.

Remove Paint
Four pledges from Sigma Phi
Alpha staved up until the early
hours of Wednesday morning and
took some first-hand lessons in
Rock Cleaning 44.
The “lesson” was designed by
the brothers of the house to re
move the blue paint on the rock
under the Old Willow tree. The
rock and the pylons at the en
trance to Pollock road were
doused with paint by. West Vir
ginia fans on Oct.’ 31. University
workmen removed the paint from
the pylons several weeks ago.
Now that they have completed
the first half of their training in

John Alampi, Jack Guerin, Jack
Forrest, and Robert Kurtz, said
they hope nobody decides to give
an unsolicited coat of paint to
other campus objects.
