ROTC Reconsiders . . .
Army, Air
Cadets
The beard controversy, now in
its second week, has taken a hew
turn. Two of the three Reserve
Officer Training Corps depart-.
ments have changed their original
``no whiskers" order to n - iore
lenient revisions.
Lt. Col. E. H. Lang, Army
ROTC executive officer, said yes
terday that cadets would prob
ably be allowed to have "neatly
trimmed" mustaches. However an
unidentified Army instructor said
that students in his classes would
be required to be clean shaven.
The instructo• said that parti
cularly among the freshman stu
dents a weeks!- growth of whiskers
might be mistaken for unattrac
tive "fuzz" rather than a "neatly
trimmed" mustache.

of air science, said he would al

Labor Panel
Begins Report
On Grievances
The three-man grievance panel,
set up last August to air griev
ances between the University and
its 'employees, met Saturday and
Sunday in Boston to draft a pre
liminary report on how the Uni
versity can best deal with em
ployee organizations.
Eric A. Walker, the University's
representative on the panel, said
the report is not yet complete. The
panel will meet shortly after Feb.
1 to continue work on the report,
he said.
The panel decided to issue the
report at the conclusion of hear
ings held last month in the Nit
tany Lion Inn. In a statement
made at the close of these hear
ings, the panel said that the ques
tion of fundamental working rela
tionships Was a basic solution of
the specific grievances presented
to the panel by the two labor
groups at the University.
The panel will consider the spe
cific grievances after the report
has been issued. A list of some 20
grievances was presented to the
panel when it was organized last
summer.
Xenneth Dix on, president of
Local 417 Building Service Em
ployees International, A.F.L., said
the panel was requested because
of the "general lack of union rec
ognition by the University."

Revisions Committee
May Report Soon
John Speer, chairman of the Cabinet Constitutional Re
visions Committee, said last night heimay be ready to present
a revised constitution to All-University Cabinet at the first
meeting next semester.
The committee has been meeting since early in December,
after Cabinet decided that a complete revision of the All-
University Constitution was nec-
essary
The constitution is being re
vised to follow the United States
Constitution in form. •It will con
tain six articles including: execu
tive powers, legislative powers,
judicial powers, financial powers,
miscellaneous powers and amend
ments and bylaws.
Powers llot Catalogued
It was decided to organize the
constitution in this manner be
cause committee members felt the
powers of Cabinet are not express
ly catalogued and defined under
the present constitution.
The major, change which has
been recommended so far is the
elimination of any sort of substi
tution clause. The present con
stitution states:
"Substitutions for class presi
dents shall be the vice presidents
of the classes. Unexcused absences
shall bind ,the representative over
to Tribunal for men, and Judicial
for women."
No Decision on Absences
No decision has been made on
how absences are to be handled.
The substitution clause has been
a point of controversy since Cabi
net defeated a substitution clause
proposed by Benjamin Sinclair,
president of the Board of Dra
matics and Forensics in 'Decem
ber. •
Speer said the committee mem
berg felt there were too many fa
cets involved to draft an adequate
substitution clause.
Another proposed change will
make the dean of women, dean of
men, the graduate manager of
athletics, and the executive secre
tary of the Alumni Association
advisors to Cabinet.
Ex-officio Members
Under the present constitution,
they are listed as ex-officio mem
bers of Cabinet. The change was
made at the request of several
of those involved.
The committee will meet Thurs
day night to discuss general re
vision of the judicial system. Ross
Clark, Tribunal chairman, and
Nancy Ward, acting Judicial
chairman, will be present to pre
sent their views.
Committee members are: Speer,
chairman; Robert Dennis, presi
dent of the Association of Inde
pendent Men; Patricia Ellis, presi
dent of the Women's Student Gov
ernment Association; Thomas
Kid d, Cabinet parlimentarian;
George Kulynych, president of the
engineering student council; and
Frank J. Simes, dean of men.
The question of beards as a
part of the Centennial celebra
tion has been referred to the
student centennial committee. The
University centennial_committee,
composed of faculty and adminis
tration, said that' beard growing
would not be past of •its Centen
nial program.
The Centre Daily Times, in an
zditorial yesterday, urged towns
people to grow beards "out of re
spect" to the University.

Grading
System Hit
By Council
The Engineering Student Coun
cil last night adopted a resolution
expressing dissatisfaction with the
present grading system.
The proble-ri was presented to
the council ;ay Rudolph Lutter,
who was appointed by All-Univer
sity Cabinet to investigate the
possibility of a grade change.
Lutter, who has presented this
problem to c' her 'student coun
cils at the - Tniversity, said the
present grade system is a distor
tion of the student's actual grade
and it should be changed to a nu
merical system.
Lutter also said that student in
terest in possible change in the
grading system' is not high, and
that students are interested most
ly in discarding the -2 grade.
Agreeing with the students on
discarding of the -2 was Lawrence
Perez, professor of Civil Engineer
ing. Perez said that in his investi
gation of other universities of sim
ilar size he found one using the
University's method. He said he
wants the -2 to be done away
with chiefly because he feels that
the students at the University are
penalized more than re any oth
er students throughout the coun
try.
The council also e:,dorsed a res
olution to ,favor the growing of
beards for the Centennial.
They als oset March 16 as the
date for their annual mixer, which
will be held at the Hetzel Union
Building.
