God in States
Party Decision
Remains Firm
Lewis Goslin, Lion Party vice
clioue chairman. said yesterday
the party would stand firm in its
defiance of the all-University elec
tions committee's rejection of a
plank in the party platform.
The elections committee Thurs
day ruled out the plank stating
opposition to the chaperoned dat
ing policy which will go into ef
fect Sept. 1 and proposing reten
tion of unchaperoned dating in
fraternities.
Goslin said he did not know how
the party would effect its oppo
sition to the committee ruling.
That will be decided by the party,
he said.
When asked if the party would
back down on its stand if its can
didates were to be penalized votes
in the spring elections, April 7 and
8, G-oslin said he did not know,
but he believed the elections com
mittee had no right to set up a
penalty for an infraction of the
elections code or refusal to abide
by committee decisions before
any infraction had been commit
ted.
Edwin Kohn, elections commit
tee chairman, said violations of
the elections code and decisions
made by the committee will be
punished as stated in the elections
code and upon the authorization
of All-University Cabinet.
If the Lion Party chooses to re
sist the code, Kohn said, it will be
penalized accordingly.

Changes in Orientation Week
A re Recommended by Cabinet
Proposals that men's hat so
cieties take over Orientation Week
and that a big-little sister program
be adopted by Colleges not now
having one were recommended to
councils concerned Thursday
night by AII-University Cabinet.
The proposals were a fraction
of an Orientation Week Evalua
tion submitted by Robert Smoot,
evaluation committee chairman.
Smoot listed the main failings of
the, program as pre-orientation
week mailings, insufficient train
ing of counselors, insufficient
coverage of activities and student
government by counselors, poor
instructions on registration, poor
information on fraternities, and
unsuccessful campus tours.
Major Recommendations
Major recommendations from
cabinet to various councils will
be:
1. That men's hat societies as
sume the responsibilities of Orien
tation Week counseling. This
would mean that hat society mem
bers would meet with counselees
three times during Orientation
Week, would conduct campus
tours, and counsel in all phases
of student activities.
2. That college councils assume
responsibility of curriculum coun
sel.ing. VII t'n , ;ystem fresh
man men would be divided ac-
Each unit sponsored by one or
two organizations will be expected
to meet generally accepted stan
dards of good taste in both theme
and attire, Brill stated. Applica
cations will be sent to organiza
tions concerning the class in which
they are entering, the general
theme and description of the unit,
and the proposed attire of the par
ticipants. The applications must be
turned into the Student Union
desk in Old Main by April 7, when
they will be reviewed by the Par
ade Committee and a student
screening committee representing
All-University Cabinet. Only one
application need be submitted if
two organizations are sponsoring
a unit.
Must Adhere to 'nen
In the case of non-approval by
the committees, the group will be
notified by April 14, and may then
turn in a revised application on
or before April 23, Brill said. All
units are expected to adhere to
the plans approved on-the initial
application blank,. and will be ex
pelled from the parade if they
violate the set stipulations, he ex
plained.
Each unit in the parade must
be preceded by a banner of at least
3x3 feet, in order to aid the judges
in determining what organizations
are in the unit. One car, station
wagon, or jeep may be used to pull
a float, and no more than $2O may
be spent by any unit marching in
the parade. Loudspeakers are pro
hibited, Brill stated.
To Follow Same Route
The parade, which will follow
the same route as last year, will
form on Nittany and Fairmount
Avenues, and will go down South
Allen Street, turn right and pro
ceed up College Avenue, and turn
left on Shortlidge Road. At Pol
lock Road, the parade will-turn
left and go across campus, turning
right on Burrowes and will then
disband near Recreation Hall.
Chances To Be Sold
For IFC Ball Dates
The Campus Chest commit
tee will sell chance donations
for Interfraternity-Panhellenic
Council Ball dates with Joan
Hunter„ Homecoming Queen,
1952, and Joseph Barnett, jun
ior class president, beginning
Wednesday.
John Robinson, raffle chair
man, announced sales will con
tinue in Hamilton lounge and
in front of Carnegie Ha 11
through March 31 when the
drawing will be held.
cording to curriculum and meet
in these groups throughout the
semester. The recommendation
also includes adoption by women
students of a big-little sister pro
gram in all colleges.
Personal Interviews
3. That all faculty advisors have
a personal interview with their
advisees at least once during their
first semester.
Cabinet will also recommend
to councils a better ex
planation of regulations on fire
arms and automobiles in the oren
tation booklet, establishing a com
mittee of this year's freshmen to
read orientation booklet material
to insure that it will be suffi
ciently clear to incoming fresh
men, and allowing all students re
turning to campus from student
encampment to counsel to stay in
the dormitories for one extra
night. .
Cabinet A.ccepts Report
Cabinet accepted a, report rec
ommending that members of cab
inet meet with students on . April
12 to discuss the functions of stu
dent government. These colloquies
will replace the formal Student
Government Day programs held

Senate Group
OKs Decision
Of Tribunal
The decision of Tribunal to give
two students deferred suspension
for drinking in ,their dormitory
room and illegally possessing a
revolver in the dormitory was ap
proved yesterday by the Senate
committee on student affairs sub
committee on discipline.
A second' semester civil engi
neering major was placed on of
fice probation by the sub-commit
tee Thursday for introducing ma
terial that might have been used
for cheating in an examination,
according to Dean of Men Frank
J. Simes.
Simes said the Tribunal recom
mendation was approved by the
sub-committee since all disciplin
ary cases involving the placing of
the action in a student's perma
nent record must be presented to
a sub-committee.
The students had appealed a de
cision of the Association of Inde
pendent Men's Judicial Board of
Review which recommended that
the students be brought before the
sub-committee.
Simes said the student was
given office probation because his
guilt could not 'absolutely be de
termined. Office probation means
the offense does not go on the
student's permanent record un
less there is another offense be
fore the end of the probation per
iod.
