BA Council
Is Youngest
At University
The major student organization
of the College of Business Ad
ministration is the Business Ad
ministration Student Council.
The council strives to estab
lish better student-faculty rela
tionships, to promote the College
of Business Administration on
campus through higher moral and
scholastic standards, to make
recommendations on the curricu
la being offered in the college,
to co-operate with other student
councils on the many phases of
campus activities through the
means of the Inter College Coun
cil Board, and to provide for mat
ters pertaining to the welfare of
students within the College.
In its first year of operation
from 1953-54 the council spon
sored a number of student ac
tivities. Last fall the council held
a student-faculty mixer at the
Temporary Union Building and
worked with the University to
promote Career Day. In the
spring, the councils held two
coffee hours.
Michael Doyle edited the Col
lege newspaper, the BusAd Bulle
tin, through its first year of pub
lication. A council committee is
now studying the possibility of
a college magazine to be edited
by students of the College. .
Council President Richard Fav
ro Tuesday will address the new
students in the College on stu
dent participation in government
and council work.
Council officers for this year
are: Favro, president; James
Ginsberg, vice president; and
Kaye Buterbaugh, secretary
treasurer. Freshmen members
will be elected this fall.
The possibility of formulating
a society for the promotion of the
College through various tech-'
niques and activities- as well as
high scholastic attainment is be
ing considered.

Yes Children,
It Will Rain
At Penn State
The weather at Penn State, is a
great topic of conversation. It is
different, from that anywhere else
in the world.
There are two things about the
weather that a student may be
sure of. First, it will rain or snow
on every big weekend. Second,
there will be a monsoon season
somewhere between the middle
of March and the middle of May.
Last year, for instance, there
were 18 inches of snow Junior
Prom weekend. The football
game was played nevertheless.
Penn State students never learn
to like the weather but many of
them learn to live through it. In
1953 it even snowed on Spring
weekend.
The monsoon season is another
weather idiosyncrasy of Penn
State. For over a month each
year it rains almost every day. If
it stops, it stops during the class
hour and starts again during the
ten-minute break between classes.
When the rains finally begin
to let up the students’ thoughts
turn to Whipple’s Dam with its
beach and swimming facilities.
They plan weekend picnics and
late afternoon excursions. The
sun shines warm and bright while
they are in class, but as they run
for their transportation, the
clouds empty again.
One can also be fairly. certain
that in the. winter oiie. or two
days before vacation starts there
will be an ice and snow storm.
A final certainty about Penn
State weather, is that during ex
amination week it will be ab
solutely gorgeous.,

to this year’s convention in the

Serve on AIM
Judicial Board
This year’s Association of Inde
pendent Men Judicial Board of
Review will be unique in at least
one way. It will be the first im
portant student judicial board to
be selected from applicants in
stead of by appointment.
An evaluation of this new sys
tem has been studied over the sum
mer. On the basis of this evalua
tion AIM will decide whether to
continue the plan in the future.
Previously the eight members of
the board and the chairman were
appointed by . the AIM president.
But this year only the chairman,
Edward Stoops, was appointed.
The judicial board handles all
cases involving independent men
except those having relations with
groups outside the University and
would have a bearing-on the Uni
versity’s name. Its decisions are
turned into the Dean of. Men’s of
fice in the form of a recommenda
tion. Only twice in the past two
years has the Dean of Men’s office
refused to accept the board’s rec
ommendations.
Most of the cases the board han
dles are concerned with drinking
and damage in the dormitory units.
Most of the punishment has usually
been office probations, but this
year chairman Stoops hopes for a
“wider variety of discipline areas.”
The board will generally meet
once every other week. Stoops
hopes to get it ready to handle
cases by the first week of school.
Last year, he said, the board
wasn’t ready for work until De
cember.
