PAGE TWO Penalty Asked For Nittany 43 Office probation, with the stipulation that the dean of men has the power to remove probation if a 60-hour minimum work project is completed, was recommended for the .34 residents in Nittany Dormitory 43, who violated a University regulation by holding a beer party in their dormitory Dec. 12, by the Association of Inde pendent. Men’s Judicial Board of Review Thursday night. In another case, the board rec ommended office probation for five freshman residents of McKee Hall foi exploding firecrackers and iodine crystals in the dormi tory hallway Jan 3,4, 5, and 8. Attempts to change the decision after John Ball, chairman of the board, and Harold W. Perkins, assistant dean of men, conferred yesterday failed because Ball was unable to contact board members. Letter Proposal Rejected The decision on Dorm 43 was made by the board after Red Cross blood drive officials rejected the board's previous recommen dation to the Dean of Men’s office Tuesday that the involved stu dents donate blood in the next University blood drive. The board, during its discussion Thursday night, rejected a proposal to in clude in the punishment letters to the resident’s parents, informing them of the offense. Office probation with the pro vision that at the first offense by the five McKee hall residents they will be sent directly to the Senate committee on student af fairs, was the original recommen dation of the board. However, when Ball conferred with Per kins, he was informed the board had within its power to recom mend that the students be sent to the Senate committee on stu dent affairs. Two Serve Probation Two of the five were on office probation in the Dean of Men’s office, and four of the five, in cluding the two on office proba tion, were subject to further dis ciplinary action by their resident counselor subject to their behav ior until the end of the semester. All five admitted their guilt. The board’s recommendation, as it stands, will probably not be sus tained, Perkins said last night. Four students in Nittany Dorm itory 35 were recommended by the board for office probation and the removal of the concessions from one for drinking alcoholic beverages in their dormitory, in violation of a University regula tion. Two Admit Guilt Two students admitted posses sion of the beverages. One, the concessionaire, admitted he kept the beverages in the soft drink dispenser in the dormitory’s lob by. The other admitted drinking. The others denied drinking on this occasion, although they ad mitted they had done so in the past. In an action by the Dean of Men’s office yesterday, a first se mester business administration major and a first semester chem istry major were placed on office probation, and a sixth semester arts and letters major was given a warning in two disorderly con duct cases in the borough. Two Fined in Borough The two freshmen were in volved in a Calder alley distur ■ bance. The business administra tion major was fined $2O and costs by Burgess David F. Mack ey. The junior was fined $2 and $5 costs for removing a storm window from a borough diner.. The borough charge against the chemistry major was dismissed. Mackey heard the cases Tuesday. Office probation means the stu dent must report to the Dean of Men’s office at an appointed time each month. If the student is not involved in further disciplinary action during probation, no record will be recorded on his permanent record.
