WEDNESDAY. MAY 5: 1954 Frosh Council Turns New Weekday Date Freshman Council last night unanimously defeated a proposal that first semester freshman wo men be permitted to date after 5:30.p.m. on weekdays. The council discussed another proposal made by the Senate of Women's Student Government As sociation that second semester women with high All-University averages to be given two special 11 o'- clocks. The proposal was defeated in a straw vote but definite action was impossible because one coun cil member left the meeting early, destroying the quorum. ' Council passed the weekday dat ing proposal in January but de cided to reconsider the issue when an unusually high number of fresh Man women were placed on academic probation at the end of the fall semester. A student is placed on academic a ,probation when his All-University average is .5 or lower. Re-vote Asked WSGA Senate last week sent the question back to Council for a re-vote on the basis that a con siderable amount of time had elapsed since the proposal was approved. Council decided to place more emphasis- during the freshman counseling period next year on explaining that the 5:30 p.m dat ing restriction must work on an honor.. system and that it. is de signed to aid students in develop ing their high school study habits to the level necessary for Univer sity work. A committee was appointed to confer on this matter with Patricia J. Thompson, assistant to the Dean of Women, who supervises the or ientation counseling program. Consideration of the proposal concerning two special 11 o'clocks will be renewed at the next meet ing of council May 18. - Sugges tions of an All-University- averlge to be required for granting of spe cial permissions ranged from 1.5 u.p. , In a straw vote, only two of the seven members present voted to accept the , proposal.' Opinions of council members who favor the proposal are summed up by" Mar tha Michiner, acting chairman, who said, "Women who can't make deans' lists should get some recog nition even though their All-Uni versity average isn't 2.5. This is done in other schools." Opposition opinions are summed up by Helena Moraino, :second se mester arts and letters major, who said, "We should not encroach on upperclassmen privileges. Th e people who would get these spe cial hours w, ou 1 d probably not want to use them. They would want to stay in and study." en o.agetrient3 Harper-Goodfriend Mr. and Mrs. William Good friend of Worcester announce the engagement of their daughter Nancy to Ronald Harper, son of Mrs. Robert Harper of West Ches ter, and - the late Mr. Harper.

Day Program includes Folk Dance The Schuhplattler, an old German folk dance, will be included in the May Day program • Saturday afternoon. The basic movement of the dance, consisting of three parts, is based on love, courtship, hate, and jealousy, is the boy slapping his thighs and .stamping his feet. Warren Hommas, eighth semester chemical engineering major, who taught the dances to the local Schuhplattler Club, learned them in Reading from a German folk dance group. Those to be performed as part of the May Day ceremonies will be "Nev Bayreischer," "The Fi gure Dance," and "Dance of Jeal ousy." Couple Dance "Nev Bayreischer" is a couple darice, corresponding to our Amer ican square -dance. "The Figure Dance" is a flir tation dande in which the boy is continually trying 'to steal a kiss from the girl. In Germany the saying goes that if you ask your best girl.to do this dance with you, she accepts, and lets you kiss her, you are engaged and expected to marry. Everything does not always run smoothly, for when one boy has a nice girl, someone else usually tries to steal her. During the dance a girl goes from one boy to an other and the boys end up by fighting over her. gdelvieiss Flower Many years ago some young Ba varians were climbing through the highest parts of the Alps gath ering the Edelweiss flower for their girls back in the village. Now, as long ago, the Edelweiss is the symbol of true love. It is hard to pick because it grows so high up in the Alps and many young men lose their lives trying to pick the flowers. These young Germans came upon a bird call e d the Hour Hound, which lives only in the extreme heights of the Alps. The young men noticed the male called the female to him by slapping his wings to his side and prancing around, doing a stamping step upon the ground. New Application Always on the lookout for new angles for romance, the Germans thought if it would work for the birds, maybe it would bring them results, also. - When they got back to the vil lages they devised the style of folk dancing called the Schuh plattler in which the boy slaps his thighs and stamps his feet. The• Schuhplattler Club was or ganized 1950 under the Penn State Christian- Association. It is now, an' independent organization.
