tion of Independent Men for
$1132.17 for alleged damages to
Adamitz's vending machines
while the machines were in Nit
tany dormitories in . 1950, the
Daily Collegian learned yester
day.
Adamitz said he had no com
ment, and insisted the whole mat
ter was in. the hands of his law
yer. Edward L. Willard, of. the
State College law firm of Willard
and Dunaway, who is Adamitz's
lawyer in the matter, also de
clined comment. He refused to
say if the suit has, been filed or
if he has possession of an alleged
contract between Adamitz and
thc: Nittany, Council allowing Ad
amitz -to , put the vending ma
chines in the dorms.
Meanwhile, it .was discovered
that Ross , E. Lehman i , assistant ex
ecutive alumni secretary, was ad
viser to AIM in 1950 at the time
of the alleged damages_ and is
making an investigation of the
matter on behalf of AIM. Lehman
was out of town last night.
These statements were learned
from James W. Dean, assistant to
the dean of men in chatge of in
dependent affairs and adviser to
AIM, who saic 3 he knew nothing
of the facts behind the threatened
law suit, but intends to hold a
meeting with AIM president, Rob
ert Dennis, and Lehman "as soon
as possible." -
Adamitz has claimed Nittany
Council is responsible for what he
termed are damages amounting to
$1132.17. Knciwledge of whether
he can sue AIM for a matter re
lating to' the Nittany Council
could not be obtained last night.
Adamitz sent a letter to Den
nis Wednesday announcing the
threat to suit AIM for the sum.
Dennis has declined to make com
ment until all the facts and de
tails in the background of the
case can be brought to light.

tabulated, he added.
Approximately 28,000 tickets
were sold at last year's Carnival
in. which 44 groups participated.
A total of $5900 was 'collected
froth both nights of the 1953 Car
nival, which was also given to
the scholarship fund.
After the first hour and a half
of last night's Carnival, ticket
stations were beginning to sell
the second batch of 20,000 tickets,
Enelow stated.
An estimated crowd of approxi
mately 10,000 persons packed Car
nival grounds Wednesday and last
night to see shows presented by
45 groups. Only one booth was
closed voluntarily after the first
night' of the Carnival, according
to Richard Grossman, Carnival
co-chairman.
Booths, which were situated at
the ex-Windcrest living unit, were
reviewed by. nearly 30 checkers
during the • two nights _of the
Carnival. Only ten groups were
given a first warning because
they were deemed inappropriate
by standards set by the Spring
Week committee. A second warn
ing would have resulted in the
closing of the • show.
"We have had no trouble con
trolling Carnival shows this year,"
Grossman stated: "Groupi which
were •
warned revised their shows
to meet our standards, and all
organizations have been most co
operative," he added.
In addition to booths compris
ing _ three midways which - were
sponsored by student , organiza
tions, the Carnival included con
cessions selling , candy floss; pop
corn, and soft drink s. Rides

registrar.
Under the new plan, the depart
ments will have a better idea of
what demands will be made in
certain courses, Williams said.
This should eventually result in
fewer closed - sections.
Freshmen Benefit
The new plan will also enable
a larger percentage of freshmen
to get the courses they are sup
posed to schedule in their fresh-.
man year. Under the last registra
tion plan, many freshmen have
had to take freshman courses in
other years because upperclass
men filled the courses first.
The plan is also designed to
eliminate any congestion which
might occur at the deans' stations
in Recreation Hall during regis
tration.
Seniors Considered
The seniors will not be left out
in this plan, Williams explained.
Departments will be required to
take care of the needs of seniors.
Williams said. that the fall se
mester would be the best time to
change the registration plan be
7.ause the head of the alphabet
in the senior class was scheduled
to register fir s t under the old
too.
Each student will register twice
during the four years on the first,
middle, and last day of registra
tion.
To Eliminate Crowding
Another reason for this plan is
to eliminate crowding at certain
stations during registration. In
stead of having large lines for
senior courses and small lines for
underclassman courses during the
first day of registration, the num
ber of students registering for
courses will be spread out. Wil
liams said this should result in a
more even flow of students dur
ing registration.
Schedule Mailed
The schedule for registration
will be sent to each student with
his transcript for the spring se
mester. The new schedule will
also be printed on the fall semes
ter timetables.
Registration for the fall semes
ter 1954 will be in Recreation Hall
from Sept. 15 to 1&. Students will
be admitted for registration only
in accord with the alphabetical
schedule.
Fee Payments
All students must pay their fees
to the bursar before reporting to
Recreation Hall. Advance pay
ment of fees will again be con
ducted. Forms for fee payments
will be mailed to students in Au
gust. This system is used to elimi
nate congestion at the Bursar's
office.
Each student must see his ad
viser at least 24 hours in advance
of his scheduled time to report
to Recreation Hall in September.
Special students and University
employees will register Sept. 18.
