Today's Weather- Clear and Cold VOL. 55, No. 27 . Penn Game Half-Holiday Asked Sinclair's Amendment Given Second Steading All-University Cabinet last night approved the second reading of an amendment by Benjamin Sinclair, president of the Board of Dramatics and Forensics, which would establish a set procedure for substitutions on cabinet. The second reading of an amendment by Richard Favro, presi dent of the Business Administra tion' student council, which deals with the approval of committee chairmen and compensated posi tions, was postponed until the next cabinet meeting. The reading of Favro’s amend ment was postponed when he amended his original motion so as to change its meaning. The amendment must now be read at the next two meetings of cabinet. If Favro had not changed his amendment, last night’s reading would have been the second. An amendment must be ■ read at two cabinet meetings and voted upon at a third. AIM Board Warns Five Freshmen By TED SERRILL Five first semester men last night received judicial warnings from, the Association of Indepen dent Men’s Judicial Board of Re view for climbing out a second floor window of Hamilton Hall arid slashing a window screen. The first semester student climbed down from his window on the second floor of Hamilton Hall Oct. 13, and was forced to enter -the room directly beneath hi.-t through a slashed screen. He received a board judicial warning and a recommendation to the Dean. of Men’s office for an in formal consultation with James W. Dean, assistant to the dean of men in charge of independent af fairs. It was brought out in court hearings that the student was locked in his room by the other four men by the insertion of a pencil between his door and door frame, preventing him from leav ing his room. The four received board judicial warnings and a recommendation to the Dean of Men’s office to pay for the dam age incurred by slashing the screen. The student, knowing that he was scheduled to meet with Pershing Rifles within ten min utes of his discovery of the jammed door, attempted to climb down to the window beneath his own, hoping to climb through it and leave the building. After reaching the ledge of the first-floor window, which is a full story above ground, he found that the only way he could enter the room was to slash the screen. He told court that the other four students had shouted through the door just before he climbed out that they were attempting to re (Continued on page eight) Junior Week Heads Named By Thalimer Committees for Junior Week have been named by John Thal imer, class president.

Thomas Kidd, cabinet parliamen tarian, was in the chair while Speer presented his • amendment. All-University president Jesse Af nelle is with the football team, enroute to Fort Worth, Texas. Sinclair’s amendment as altered by Speer, now reads that the vice president of an-organization shall replace the president in case he is' unable to attend a cabinet meeting and that the heirarchy as established by the constitu tion of the organization shall de termine further succession. Cabinet Vacancies Speer’s amendment states . that in case of a vacancy. in the All- University offices, the chairman of Tribunal or Judicial in . that order shall sit on cabinet. Sin clair’s original amendment stated that the chairs should be left va cant. The amendment will be voted on at the next meeting of cabinet. Speer made the amendment be cause he said he felt, the All- University positions were-impor tant enough that they should be filled. He said he thought that the Tribunal chairman and the Judicial chairman were logical choices to fill the positions, since they are already ex-officio mem bers of cabinet. Favro Changes Favro changed his amendment to read that all appointments for committee chairmen and compen sated positions be revealed to cabinet members the Tuesday be fore the appointments are brought up at cabinet for approval. Favro’s original amendment re quired that committee chairmen and all compensated positions be approved at two successive cabi net meetings. Favro said he felt the two meet ing waiting period in his original amendment was not necessary. He said his purpose in making the original amendment was not to question the. power of the presi dent to make appointments, but only to give cabinet members a chance to become acquainted with the appointees..

Turner Discusses Fraternities 7 Rights Fred Turner, dean of students at the University of Illinois, distinguished between the rights and privileges of fraterni ties in a speech at the Interfraternity Council Workshop banquet last night. The banquet, held at the Nittany Lion Inn, marked the close of the IFC Workshops which started Tuesday with dis- cussions in fraternity houses. Dis cussion group leaders presented brief reports of their workshops at the banquet.

The trophy, held previously by Theta Delta Chi, was presented for scholastic improvement during the spring semester. Turner, in his speech, outlined six areas in which fraternities have rights and privileges and distinguished between the rights and privileges in each area. Be fore stating the six areas, Turner said it was a privilege for all stu dents to attend the University. He further‘said it was the stu dents’ responsibility to attend the University and to graduate from it. Failure to do this, he said, was a distinct failure on the students’ part. Turner said basically, fraterni ties exist at an educational, insti tution only because they are per mitted to by that institution. He ’ (Continued on page eight) Europe Union Created A nine-member.

Cabinet Seeks Students On Senate Committees All-University Cabinet last night accepted and sent on to the University Senate a recommendation that students serve, in advisory capacities, on Senate committees. Thomas Kidd, parliamentarian and co-chairman with Janice Holm of the Student Encampment campus-community government committee, presented the report to cabinet. He said the recom mendation was made so the stu dent sitting in on the Senate com mittee would become a source of student opinion for the Senate committee. Also, the student representa tive would have a ready expla nation of the reasons Senate took a certain action, Kidd said. The two exceptions to the stu dent representation recommenda tion were the Senate committee on rules and the Senate commit tee on student affairs. There is already voting power for the stu dent representative on the student affairs committee. The report also recommended] Tgtatt By NANCY FORTNA Defends Amendment See Page 4 University May Study Plea Today The University Council of Administration is expected to receive a recommendation this morning asking that class es be dismissed on Saturday, Oct. 30, to allow students to attend the football game be tween Penn State and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania in Phila delphia. Action was initiated last night, when All-University Cabinet passed a motion calling for the half-holiday providing that class-, work be made up at the discretion of instructors. Action Not Final It was emphasized by All-Uni versity Vice President John Speer, who introduced the motion, that the action of cabinet is merely a suggestion and it is in no way binding until positive action is taken by the Council Of Admin istration. This group will repre sent the faculty and administra tion approval of the plan, he said. In making the motion calling for the half-holiday to be grant ed for the Penn game; Speer said that student opinion, as he saw it favored the Penn weekend to the Pitt weekend on Nov. 20. He said this opinion was also held by All-University President Jesse Arnelle who was then on his way to the Texas Christian football game and could not attend cab inet. Opposition Voiced Arguments in favor of having the holiday on the Pitt weekend were voiced by Watson Leese, president of the Liberal Arts stu dent council, and Richard Favro, president of the Business Admin istration student council. Leese said that he felt many people were staying home from the Penn game since it was being carried on tele vision. Favro explained that he felt the holiday should be for Pitt since the Panthers would be playing here next year. He also said it seemed there would be more en thusiasm for the Pitt game if Penn State were to go undefeated until then. Class Make-Ups The plan of having the class work missed made up came in the form of an amendment proposed by Robert Dennis, president of the Association of Independent (Continued on page eight) that representation on the stu dent affairs committee be changed to be comprised of three voting students—the All-University pres ident, one man, and one woman. Either the man or the woman chosen would have to be a cabi net member.
