The kitchen has been organized
for efficiency and surrounds the
open square cafeteria on three
sides. Emphasis is placed on fine

Labor Party Divided; England
Ready for Election—Churchill
LONDON, Friday, March 11 (/P)
—Prime Minister Winston Chur
chill hinted today he thinks the
time may be right for calling a
snap general election. 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

The chief split is over Left

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

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

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.

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.

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.
Walter W. Trainer, supervisor
of landscape construction an d
maintenance, said that the grass
is easily destroyed when people
walk on it now that the ground
is moist and soft. A re-seeding
program to cover bare spots on
campus will begin in the near

Barricades have been erected
to protect bare spots, Trainer said,

ed to prevent new ones from ap
pearing.
Last year, in spite of keep off
the grass campaigns by Aloha
Phi Omega, national service fra
ternity, and other student organ
izations, the cost of replacing
grass on campus exceeded $l5OO,
he said. That was an improve
ment over other years when the
cost went as high as $4OOO, Train
er said.
