The hint came in criticism of what he called the confusion within the opposition Labor party The Socialists who make up the Labor party are “now split not only into two halves but into many factions,” the 80-year-old Conservative leader said in a message to voters urging support of G. W. Guthrie Jones in a spe cial parliamentary by-election. The chief split is over Left winger Aneurin Bevan. Clement Attlee’s Shadow Cabinet, the Laborite nigh command in Par liament, is seeking Bevan’g ex STATE COLLEGE PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 11. 1955 Kitchen FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Cabinet Opposes Power To Veto Members' Acts All-University Cabinet last night voted in preliminary action to remove from the pro posed constitution a clause which would give Cabinet power to rescind any acts of a mem ber group which are deemed detrimental to the good name of the University and the wel fare of the. student body. The action taken is not final as Cabinet cannot vote on the constitution for .two more meetings. The group must again discuss the constitution at its next meeting and cannot take action on it until the third. Robert Dennis, president of the Association of Independent Men, moved that the clause giving Cabinet power over legislation of its member organizations be stricken from 7 udor 1 Group Will Perform On Sunday ' Renaissance music represent ing various nationalities will be presented by the Tudor Singers of Bethlehem at 3 p.m. Sunday in Schwab Auditorium. .

Men May Sign Rushing List Men interested in fraternity rushing may still sign a prefer ence list in the dean of men’s of fice, 109 Old Main, according to John Russell, Interfratemity Council rushing chairman. Russell reported that four fra ternities are still rushing and will contact men who sign the list. Russell also reported that the program for rushing at the cen ters is in progress. Fraternity rep resentatives traveled to Hazleton, Pottsville, and Erie centers last week and will travel to Dußois this week. Lists of prospective rushees will be compiled so fraternities may contact men during the summer. pulsion from party councils for rebellion against the party line on British defense matters. The Conservative# present ad ministration has until October 1956 to run, but the government can call a general election any time before that. The object would be to pick a date when political and economic winds could be expected to favor the incumbents. Churchill told Jones, the Con servative and National Libera) candidate in a by-election of Wrexham, he “should win the vote of every man and woman who approaches politics with a free mind of prejudice.” “What prospects does your So cialist opponent hold out to the electors? 7 ’ said Churchill. • “His party, disgruntled by defeat ami disillusioned by. the failure-o^ify the constitution because he felt that it would violate another clause in the constitution which prohibits Cabinet from passing legislation which lies exclusively in the scope of any member or ganization. Another change in the consti tution which Dermis proposed was that requiring candidates for All-University offices to have an All-University average of 1.5 in stead of 1.0 as is specified in the constitution. The proposal was defeated by Cabinet. A provision in the new consti tution .which requires the mem bers of Tribunal to have 1.3 All- University averages was ques tioned by Cabinet members. A change in the clause which would reduce the average to 1.0 was asked by Robert Smoot, substi tuting for senior class president, but was defeated by the) group. It was also discussed by the group that a system be placed in the constitution providing for le gal substitutes in the event of the absence of a Cabinet member. The majority of Cabinet felt a substitution clause would not be feasible and any member of Cab inet should have the right to chal lenge any substitute for a voting member. John Speer, All-Universify vice president, explained that in the absence of the president of a member organization who is a voting member of Cabinet, the vice' president legally becomes head of the organization and can assume the voting privileges on Cabinet. The major change in the con stitution, that of establishing a new judicial system with a Su preme Court to hear appeals con cerning the constitutionality of any legislation passed by Cabinet and over all cases involving vio lations of the All-University Elec tions Code, was discused but no action was taken on it. . Benjamin Sinclair, chairman of the Board of Dramatics and For ensics, disagreed with the plan. He pointed out that Cabinet could pass a constitutional law with which the court" would disagree and would declare unconstitution al. Cabinet then could - take nq action on the decision and would be stymied. cherished theories, is now split not only into two halves but into many factions perpetually nag ging at one another.” Hurling a barb at the Bevan challenge to Attlee’s leadership of the Labor party, Churchill ; asked his Conservative colleague: “Has your opponent made dear to which group he belongs?’’ The government’s budget, slat ed to be presented in April, may give a more definite tip cn the prospect of an election, possibly ’ this fall. The Laborites were not un aware of the possibility of an early vote. There was behind-the scenes maneuvering within the Labor party to quiet the feud and pleas for unity through compro mise—possibly letting Bevan off with a reprimand rather than ex ipulsion.

Physical Plant Launches Drive, *Keep Off Grass' The University Physical Plant yesterday launched its 4rive to preserve the grass on captious by asking that students refraih from taking short cuts across the grass.
