Independents
Will Operate
Judicial Board
All independent students with a 1:0 All-University average will
have an opportunity to serve on the Association of Independent Men's
Judicial Board of Review, as a result of a measure passed last night
by the AIM Board of. Governors.
This Judicial Board of Review will review disciplinary cases in-
volving independent men, subject
to overrule by the Dean of Men's
office. Edward Stoopes has been
named chairman of this Judicial
board.
To apply for one of the eight po
sitions on this judicial board, the
independent must fill out an appli
cation, to be placed later this week
at the Student Union desk in Old
Main, and be interviewed by a
special committee which was
named last night by newly elected
AIM president, Robert Dennis,
presiding over his first board of
governors meeting.
Not in Constitution
This judicial board is not offi
cially in the constitution, but the
amendment concerning it was
passed on third reading last night
by the board along with three
other amendments. All four must
now be passed by three of the four
councils represented on the board
of governors—which are West
Dorm, Town, Nittany, and Pollock.
The amendments were pushed
through for vote hurriedly by the
board of governors, thus follow
ing an• expressed desire of the
board to bring the amendments up
for council vote before the semes
ter runs out. The board hopes to
have the amendments part of the
constitution for the next school
year.
Newly Passed Amendments
The amendments are:
1. Compensation for AIM offi
cers for a full school year at the
following rates: president to re
ceive $lOO, the secretary and treas
urer $5O, and the vice president,
$25.
2. The Executive Board of AIM
be composed of the four officers
of the AIM and the presidents of
the four councils.
3. These standing committees be
set up and a chairman named by
the AIM president: National Inde
pendent Student Association, pub
licity, social, projects, and elec
tions.
4. The amendment concerning
the Judicial Board of Review.
Robert Harding served as chair
man for drafting these amend
ments.
According to the procedure for
independents interested in serving
on the Judicial board, the deadline
for returning the applications to
the board will be a week from Fri
day.
Committee Will Decide
The committee, named by Den
nis and passed by the board last
night, will pass on applications
and interview those qualified as

viet-style voting. Molotov sup
ported this position again today.
The official American spokes
man said the speech was "right
out of the archives. It has been
delivered on innumerable occa
sions by Mr. Molotov himself and
also by Mr. Chou En-lai, Red Chi
nese foreign minister. It is full of
tired adjectives."
Molotov also made another ef
fort to get Communist China ac
cepted as a member of a "Big
Five," a feat which so far has
been successfully blocked by un
compromising U.S. opposition.
"The specific feature of the Ge
neva Conference," he said, "is the
indisputable fact that only five
states—France, Britain, the United
States, the People's Republic of
China and the U.S.S.R—are parti
cipating in the discusion of both
questions (Korea and Indochina)."

Opens Tonight
At Windcrest

The carnival, one of the main
events of the sixth annual Spring
Week, will be situated at the

stands will be provided, and there
will be four rides which include
a ferris wheel, comet, merry-go
round, and barrel of love.
Booths on the Carnival grounds

It seems that the weather and
Penn State activities just can't
get together!
Today will be partly cloudy
and rather cool, the meteorology
department reported yesterday.
Rain by tomorrow morning is
predicted. Tonight should be
slightly warmer.
Rumor has it that next year
fraternities are planning to have
Eskimo themes for Spring Week.
Groups must have their booths
cleared by midnight tomorrow,
Richard Grossman, carnival co
chairman, stated. A violation of
this rule will result in a removal
of part of the group's carnival de
posit, he added.
Carnival-goers may purchase
tickets to enter booths for ten
cents each at ticket stations on
the carnival grounds. Proceeds
above the expenses for Spring
Week will go to the Penn State
Student Scholarship Fund.
Twenty-five to 30 checkers will
review carnival shows and if
booths are found 'inappropriate
the group will be warned. A sec
ond warning will mean the clos
ing of the booth, Grossman stated.
