Two Given Probation By Tribunal Two students who Monday were each fined $lOO and given 10 days jail sentences for their part in a hit-run automobile accident have been given disciplinary pro bation by Tribunal. The group, which heard the cases last week, specified, how ev , that the students, one a first semester' electrical engineering major, the other a third semester department of intermediate regis tration student, may petition to participate in extra-curricula ac tivities next fall. The other provisions of discipli nary probation—that the ruling be noted on the student's permanent records and that the student must report from time to time to the Dean of Men—will still apply in this case. The two students pleaded' guilty at the Tribunal hearing to the charge of conduct "detrimental to the good name of the University and unbecoming a student." They also admitted the specifications of the charge: driving- while under the . influence of intoxicating bev erages and leaving the scene of an accident. Tribunal ruled that the students may ask the Dean of Men to al low them to participate in extra- 1 curricula activities after the fall semester of 1955.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1954 In Wake of Election . . . The rejection of the name change yesterday by borough voters makes it almost a certainty that the University will open its own post office in the near future. John L. McLucas, chairman of the committee of 50, said Monday that the University had received assurance from the postmaster general's office that it may open a post office on the campus. The post office will carry a name to be selected by the Uni versity Board of Trustees and will be a sub-station to the borough post office. The main purpose at the cam pus post office is to clear up the current misconceptions regarding the status of the University. University Dateline When the post office is set up news releasesfrom the University will be datelined with the name of the campus post office. This change in the dateline, it is hoped, will eliminate the con fusion, surrounding the State Col lege dateline. ' According to specifications out ! lined in the letter 'to the Univer sity from the Postmaster General, the University must provide ap proximately 600 square feet of of fice space and also heat, light, and water. The postal department will provide the necessary furni ture and equipment.
