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

Sinclair’s amendment was al
tered also in an. amendment of
fered by John Speer, All-Uni
versity vice president, but the
chair ruled that the change did
not alter the essential meaning
of the amendment, and an addi
tional reading was unnecessary.
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, in his speech, outlined
six areas in which fraternities

He further‘said it was the stu

a distinct failure on the students’
part.

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.

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.
Cline Questions Wording
Hugh Cline, sophomore class
president, questioned the wording
of the last part of the recommen
dation which states that the cabi
net member selected for the re
sponsibility of serving on the Sen
ate committee on student affairs
would chair cabinet’s standing
committee on student affairg,
