Freshman Council acted wisely in lifting the 5:30 dating ban from frosh coeds' rules, but we doubt if it will come up with any substitute regulation fulfilling the same purpose. The former rule, forbidding freshman women to date after 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, was chiefly to keep frosh in .the dorms “with the books. Most likely the originators of the bill thought that if evening dates were ruled out, the new women wouldn’t be so prone to pass up studies for social life. Unfortunately, the rule did no such thing. With a few exceptions, frosh coeds dated as much as any other coeds on weeknights. From this, it’s apparent that it’s not the rules but the women’s attitudes that keep them “aca demically inclined” on weeknights. And as we have pointed out so many times this year, the desired collegiate attitudes, be they scholastic or social, cannot be expected from new students without a decent amount of orientation. Frosh Council's answer to its problems does not' lie in a substitute regulation. It will be found only in more intense counseling of fresh man women, from the moment they step on the campus until they meet the required adjustment to college life. Possibly the pending Basic College Plan, which would set up an organized system of fac ulty advising, will be part of the solution. But the faculty can’t do it all. The students them selves, upperclasswomen especially, and the dean of women’s office, will have to provide the rest of the answer. College women will adjust—scholastically and socially—if they have examples to follow. And no rule book is a personal enough example to take effect on anyone. Brain Work Needed Ideas for the $9.5 thousand Senior Class Gift have been accumulating in the suggestion boxes around campus, but more suggestions are still wanted. The gift committee needs as much support as can be given them if they’re to pick five top suggestions to go on the final ballot. In a Daily Collegian poll, published Thurs day, objects or decorations for the HUB and the All-Faith Chapel predominated. Other sug gestions that caught our eye were television sets for the dorm and an arena theatre. These, and most of the other suggestions, are good. They would add much to both the appear ance and quality of the University. But three still aren’t enough for the commit tee to choose from for the ballot. We urge all students to stir up some thoughts on this matter. We ask also that students not be blinded to other areas for improvement by the impressiveness of the HUB and the chapel. Should the gift turn out to be an object for one of these buildings, all well and good. But in the selections, let’s not forget the other as pects of the University that welcome attention. To give an outstanding contribution to the University, from the Centennial graduating class, will take the support and interest of every student here. Tribunal: Hearings and Recommendations By TED SERRILL (This is the second of two articles explaining the pow ers and functioning of Tri bunal, men’s student judicial body.)

The applicants are then screened by a committee com posed of the All-University president, dean of men, Tribu nal chairman, and secretary.

After they are acquainted with the case, the student is called before the court. The complaint is read to thiv student who then is asked to tell his story in his own words. Witnesses may be called, if desired. After questioning the .student. Tribunal will dismiss him and reach a decision. On a succeeding day the THE DATLT CPtLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA -*» . WILLIAM . DEVERB. Business Manager Spring Training Student ball players are the latest encroachers on the right of University grass to grow without fear of being molested. Concurrently with the announcement by the. Physical Plant that it has started its annual drive for preservation and encouragement of grass on campus the department of housing has said ball playing must be confined to desig nated areas. This latter action was taken in ac cordance with the regulation banning ball play ing on dormitory grounds. The “keep off the grass” campaign is an old story, but seldom does it involve student ball players. Actually, they are big offenders with football in the fall, baseball in the spring, and snowball in the winter. Persons engaging in these sports should keep in mind that the game is not only a danger to the grass but to the participants and to passers-by. These areas are not meant to be athletic fields and so are not clear of obstacles. Trees, steps, curbs, and chain fences dot the lawns, ready to trip players and injure them. Stray balls and running participants are a possible menace to people passing by on the sidewalks. Physical Plant has provided recreational areas. It is not necessary for students to work off steam on campus lawns where they may endanger themselves and passers-by and where they will hurt the appearance of the lawns. Thank You— The University took another step in elevat ing scholastic standards when it decided to hold off Swedish gymnast Steffan Carlsson’s matriculation here for. a year. In the process, we lost Mr. Carlsson to the University of Iowa; but meanwhile we did per haps gain something no athlete can give a school through physical prowess alone. Interfraternity Council was generous in vot ing the gymnast a scholarship last November. It’s unfortunate Mr. Carlsson didn’t have the formal education qualifications to enroll here at the time. Ultimately, however, we'll thank the Uni versity few hanging on to its academic values.* —P.M. Gazette...

The Other Half Once in a while, thought not too often, even librarian-exchange editors can get away from dusty stacks of old newspapers and hear a little of what’s going on, first hand. And such was this weekend when, for news of what’s new at other schools, the sources ara. students and not merely papers. For this weekend, the Penn. State men’s debate team is playing host to more than 100 debaters from Pennsylvania and nearby states. And some of them have coqie with amusing tales to tell. One of the biggest things here is of course Centennial, and along that line “Pat” O’Brien, men’s de bate coach, asked the following question on a pre-convention quiz show Thursday night: “What two big schools are celebrating their birthdays this year?” And up jumped the charm ing Miss from Mount Mercy, saying "Penn State and us." The intended answer had been Michigan State, but it seems Mount Mercy is celebrating this year, too. The Pittsburgh girls' schools is 25 years old now. The birthday celebration there includes a series of academic convocations and some extra-spe cial social events. The pre-convention quiz broad cast brought up some other in teresting gems of information too. At Allegheny College in Mead ville a bridge runs across a ravine in the center of campus. The striking feature of the bridge is that the 13th plank is painted pure white. Tradition has it that an incoming freshman girl does not become a “coed” officially un til an upperclassman has kissed her while standing on the special "'lank. However, the Allegheny dele gate assured the audience that all frosh become coeds very quickly at Allegheny. Some people never seem to be satisfied ... or, at least the dele gates from Pitt didn’t seem to be too impressed with the Hetzel Union Building. The first com ment was, “Neat . . but have you seen the one at Ohio State?” Fol lowed by, “And that student un ion at the University of Alabama is. really terrific.” Hmmm! As part of the quiz broadcast, the delegates were asked what their college's pride in '54-'55 was. One western Pennsylvania school which. I'm sure, would prefer to remain nameless, said its pride was that in this past year it bad definitely estab lished itself as a scholastic in-. - SATURDAY. MARCH 12. 1955' By ANN LEH dilution. Gone were the days. . the delegates said, when some one could claiin its interests were athletics. No, the reasons aren’t a new library or atomic reactor or Pul itzer Prize professor. Their foot ball team this year had a perfect season—not a single win, and the basketball team wasn’t far behind with 3 wins to 25 losses. But. for University - debater Carl Sapperstein the debate congress proved quite an ex perience. After most of the delegates had been shown to their lodgings in area hotels, motels and fraterni ties, Carl had the honor of show ing . some late comers to their weekend homes—Pollock dorms.
