PAGE TWO Cabinet Tables Screening Plan A motion to set up a committee—applicants screening board was tabled by All-University Cabinet Thursday night. The motion proposed by All-University vice presideht John Speer asks that the nine college student council presidents form the board. The board would screen all applicants for cabinet committee appointments and make recommendations to the All-University president. The president appoints with the approval of cabinet. Speer said the proposed board would aid the president in ap pointing capable persons. It would not in any way hamper his power of appointment, he said. Could Curtail Powers Helen Sidman, fifth semester arts and letters major, speaking from the floor, urged cabinet to carefully consider the motion be fore voting. “This motion is a little deeper than it might ap pear,” she said. “I think that there is a danger this could curtail the executive powers of the All-Uni versity president.” She said she was speaking nei ther for nor against the motion, but felt that it should be more thoroughly examined. In speaking for the motion, Richard Favro, president of the Business Administration Student Council, said he felt cabinet mem bers should examine appointment applications because they must approve the president’s appoint ments. In the past some dissatisfac tion resulted over cabinet appoint ments. It was charged last spring that certain groups of people ex ercised strong influence over the appointments. Student Group To Conduct Concert Drive Eleven students have been named to a central committee to direct the Community Concert Association campaign among stu dents. Members of the series last year may renew their memberships this week. The campaign for new members will open Monday night with a kick-off party at 7 p.m. in Atherton Hall. Student leaders are Barbara Murdough, Mary Kelly, and Jeanne Maxwell, women’s resi dence halls; William Mills, James Miller, William Neal, and Rich ard Hurlbrink, men’s residence halls; Stanley Michalski and George Buckhout, fraternities; and George Black and Joan Mc- Kinley, town. David H. McKinley, campaign chairman, urged present members to get in touch with one of the student workers this week if they wish to renew their membership. Membership price is $6.10. Headquarters for the campaign will be located in 204 Old Main. Workers will report their sales there. Memberships, will be limited to 1215, the seating capacity of Schwab Auditorium where the concerts will be held. The cam paign will close as soon as this figure is reached, or at noon Oct. 9 at the latest. The local committee will meet at the close of the campaign to arrange the program for a year. Clique- (Continued from page one) must again sign the master list, opposite his original signature. Previous Code The code previously stipulated that clique members register at the Student Union desk. They would have been issued member ship cards which would have been stamped at clique meetings. At tendance at at least one meeting prior to the nomination meeting also was required. In speaking against pre-regis tration, Famous said “Registra tion at Student Union wouldn’t aid elections.” Voters' Apathy He pointed out that “voters’ apathy” includes “registration apathy,” and that many persons who might wish to attend clique meetings would fail to register. This would cut down clique mem bership, he said. Famous also pointed out the possibility of having several hun dred clique cards duplicated “for only a few dollars.” Favro Makes Proposal The proposal was put into a motion by Richard Favro, presi dent of the Business Administra tion Student Council. In supporting the motion, Ben jamin Sinclair, representative of the Board of Dramatics and For ensics and former Lion Party clique chairman, said pre-regisra tion didn’t eliminate the possibil ity of altering registration lists. “This system is fool-proof,” he said. In another alteration to the elec tion code, the words Waring Hall were substituted for Hamilton Hall as a permanent polling place. Candidates for La Vie To Meet Tomorrow Candidates for the 1955 LaVie will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow in 405 Old Main. Only juniors will be accepted as candidates. The senior board will meet im mediately following the candi date meeting. Senior boarders will attend the candidate meeting. No Names Dropped Speer explained that under the proposed system, the board would recommend or disapprove of ap plicants but that no applicants’ names would be dropped. Speer said the mechanics of the board’s operation had not been fully worked out. . Leonides president Joan Pack ard made the motion to table the suggestion. Alexander Ayers, LaVie activi ties editor, asked cabinet to list the names of persons they thought should be included in the “per sonalities” section of the 1955 class book. The ' personalities section each year includes pictures of some of the outstanding members of the senior class. He asked each member to com pile a list of not more than 50 seniors to be submitted to the Student Union Desk in Old Main. From the individual lists a master list of those persons most fre quently mentioned will be com piled, he said. The LaVie senior board will select the 35 or 40 to be included from this master list, he explained. Miss Packard and Sally Lessig, president of the Education Stu dent Council, were named • co chairmen of the Dean of Men’s coffee hour committee. Others named to the committee were Miss Sidman and John Aikems, third semester agriculture edu cation major. Carol Schwing, seventh semes ter education major, was named chairman of the new cabinet sec retarial staff to be set up under the All-University secretary-treas urer. The report of the student en campment committee on academic honesty was postponed.

Leader, Demo cratic candidate for governor,'de-, fending his 1951 vote against the loyalty oath law, Wednesday night pointed out that 7 President Milton S. Eisenhower also op posed the act.’ Accordihg to an Associated Press report, Leader declared: “The Republican politicians who are attacking me for my vote on the Pechan Act are also’ attack ing Dr.-Milton Eisenhower, presi dent of Penn State University, and brother of the President of the United States.” President Eisenhower, along with the heads of the University of Pittsburgh, Temple University, and the University of Pennsyl vania, objected fo the measure at a Senate public hearings in 1951. “My opposition' to the Pechan Act, which calls for meaningless oaths by public employees and teachers, was based upon its use fulness as a measure to curb sub version; by . its discrimination against the patriotic Pennsyl vania religious, sects whose re ligious scrUpples prevent them from taking paths, and by its in sulting - inference that Commu nist sympathizers are found par ticularly among public employees, school 'teachers, and university faculty members,” Leader told a St Marys’, audience.
