Cabinet to Air Proposal
To Deny Cars to Frosh
A proposal to deny freshmen the right to have cars on campus
and the final approval of the new All-University constitution will
be brought before All-University Cabinet meeting tonight.
Cabinet will also hear proposals to set up a Joint Student Com
mittee on Town Affairs and a Student-Faculty Board in each College
to hear student grievances. Cabinet will meet at 7 p.m. in 203
West Dorm
Drawing Set
For Today
Drawing for the West Dorm
housing for next year will start
at 8:30 a.m. today in the • Room
Assignment Office in Nittany 20,
Francis H. Gordon, room assign
ment officer, said yesterday.
Frank J. Simes, dean of men,
James W. Dean, assistant to the
dean of men in charge of inde
pendent affairs, Otto E. Mueller,
director of housing, and represen
tatives from the Association of
Independent Men will be present
for the drawing.
Gordon said that numbers will
be drawn through the last name,
and that all the names will be
placed on the waiting list. Stu
dents will be given room assign
ments as openings are made.
Cordon announced that they
would get the room assignments
out as fast as possible, but it
would probably not be until the
end of April or the first part of
May. He added that it is difficult
to hand out room assignments as
long as as applications are still be
ing received.
Some students thought .t hey
should be able to witness the
drawing for rooms, according to
Gordon. He claimed that this is
not practical as the Room Assign
ment Office will not hold many
people, so he feels the students
will have to be satisfied with their
AIM representatives. The office
will do its best to serve all the
students fairly, Gordon added.
Another registration period for
men who cannot meet the schol
astic requirements will be held
from March 29 through April 8.
All students who have a present
semester standing of first through
seventh- semester, and who were
not eligible for registration by
academic average may pick up
application forms at the Room
Assignment Office or at the War
ing Hall Post Office.
U.S. Should Profit
From Yalta, Says Ike
WASHINGTON, March 23 (W)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower
suggested today that there is room to profit from American "mis
takes" at the controversial Yalta conference without trying to "just
damage reputations."
Eisenhower refused at a news conference to question the mo-
tives of the late President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt at the 1945 Cri
mean meeting with Premier Stal
in of Russia and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill of Britain.
"Now, in this matter . . . there
is nothing, as I can see it," he
said, "to be gained by going back
10 years and showing in the light
of after-events, that someone may
have been wrong, or someone may
have been right."
Eisenhower's r e mar ks didn't
halt a Republican hunt for politi
cal ammunition in the Yalta docu
ments made public last week by
the State Department.
Chairman Style Bridges (R
-NH) of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee indicated he
didn't intend to stop the search.
"Of course," he said, "we have
got to think of the problems of
today and tomorrow. The best
uide post for the future can be

Final Action at Constitution
Cabinet will take final action
on the new Constitution tonight.
It was read, discussed, and amend
ed at the last two Cabinet meet
ings.
Last week a motion was made
by Robert Dennis, Association of
Independent Men president, to
add a clause for impeachment of
All-University officers-. The mo
tion was defeated.
An amendment was made which
will require the All-University
president to have a 1.3 average
to be eligible for office.
Any changes that , have been
made to the constitution, or any
proposed changes that had' been
defeated, may be brought up
again at tonight's meeting.

sad lessons of history."
To a question whether he be
lieves the release of the Yalta
papers "might cramp styles in fu
ture conferences," the President
replied: "Well, I would hope not."
On this subject of future con
ferences aimed at peace, Eisen
hower said he believes there have
"got to be new exploratory talks"
once the European Allies have
ratified the Paris agreement to
bring a rearmed Germany into
their anti-communist front.
He said at first these talks
should be at a level beneath that
of the chiefs of state of the Unit
ed States, Britain, France and
Russia. He said he "could make
a lot of concessions" to arrange
such a conference. He indicated
its results w ould •determine
whether the Big Four should go
on from there to what he called
a "meeting at the summit."

STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1955
Dropping Salaries
Agreed by ICCB
By MIKE MOYLE
Members of Intercollege Council Board last night agreed that college council presi
dents should not receive compensations.
ICCB is composed of the nine presidents of the councils so, if the idea is aceepte4
members will be be, in effect, stripping themselves of compensation.
Presently each council president receives $l5, and the president of ICCB gets $25
The board also discussed the
matter of compensation for other
campus groups such as the class
officers, Tribunal, and Traffic
ODK Gets
Approval
Of Senate
Omicron Kappa, local leader
ship fraternity, received the Uni
versity stamp of approval yester
day from the Senate Committee
on Student Affairs, Wilmer E.
Kenworthy, director of student
affairs, has announced.
At the end of a probationary
period of one year, the OK society
may petition to the national lead
ership fraternity, Omicron Delta
Kappa, for affiliation, Kenworthy
said.
The movement to establish an
ODK circle at the University was
started in September. Twenty
five junior and senior men and
members of the faculty and ad
ministration were selected to be
charter members last week. More
men will be tapped before the end
of the semester.
Junior and senior men who are
scholastically in the upper 35 per
cent of the men in their college
and who are outstanding in one
field of student life, or a leader
in two or more fields, are eligible
for membership.
They are screened on the basis
of character, campus service and
leadership, and their adherence to
democratic ideals.
The five major fields of student
life, according to ODK, are stu
dent government, social and re
ligious affairs, scholarship, publi
cations, forensic and applied arts,
and athletics.
Dr. Robert Bishop, national
secretatry of ODK was at the
University in February to answer
questions about the national or
ganization and to help the organi
zational committee write a con
stitution.
Concert Set
For Tomorrow
The Earlham College choir will
present a concert at the Univer
sity Baptist Church at 8:30 p.m.
tomorrow.
The 34-voice choir from Rich
mond, Ind., has sung with the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
and last year, while on an East
ern tour, presented concerts at the
United Nations and Harvard Uni
versity. The choir is directed by
Manfred Blum of Cologne, Ger
many.
Its repertoire includes works
from classical composers Heinrich
Schultz, Bach, Handel, Beethoven,
Palastrma . , and Montoverde, as

Court.
It was pointed out that students
holding positions to which they
are appointed by the All-Univer
sity president or by a class presi
dent probably "deserve" the com
pensation which they receive, es
pecially in the case of Traffic
Court, on whose shoulders rests
the enforcement of the traffic
regulations of the University.
Idea Won't Faze Cabinet
The board decided against
bringing any sort of motion or
suggestion in front of All-Uni
versity Cabinet on the compensa
tion question.
The board also pointed out that
if it is attempted to strip certain
groups of compensation, contro
versy will arise about which
groups' compensation should be
cut and which shouldn't.
On March 14, Liberal Arts Stu
dent Council passed a motion
dropping the compensation of the
LA Council president.
The president of the council
used to receive a $35 compensa
tion from council as well as $l5
from All-University Cabinet.
In further plans for the All-
University Open House, to be held
April 23, President Donald Bell
announced that Alpha Phi Omega,
national service fraternity, will
set up booths at selected spots
on campus to aid the persons at
tending the various activities in
connection with the Open House.
2000 Letters Sent
Also, it was announced that hat
society members have been asked
to wear their hats on April 23
and to aid in the program. Two
thousand letters and 1500 campus
maps are now ready to be sent out
to high schools throughout the
state.
Compensations were first ap
proved by All-University Cabi
net May 7, 1953 on the vote of

AIM Elections Code
Accepted by Board
The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors voted
unanimously last night to accept the amendments and revisions to
the first part of the elections code.
According to the revised code, only the president of West Hall
(formerly West Dorm) Council will be elected in the spring. The
other members of the executive
committee will be elected at the
second meeting of the council in
the fall semester .
This revision was suggested to
the elections committee by the
West Hall Council. James Ken
nedy, president of the council,
said that it was only fair that the
majority of the members of the
executive committee should be
elected from the incoming fresh
men, since West Halls are almost
exclusively for freshmen. If all
the officers were elected in the
spring there would be no fresh
man representation in the fall,
Kennedy added.
The revision further states that
the president elected in the spring
may appoint, with the advice and
consent of the council members,
a temporary vice president, secre
tary, and treasurer to serve until
officers are elected.
The board voted unanimously
to accept the following changes in
the elections code suggested by

X-G-I's Give
Funds for .
HUB Books
Books for the reading room in
the Hetzel Union Building, for
which the X-G-I Club contribut
ed the funds amounting to $l4OO,
will be ready for use by the end
of the week, George L. Donovan,
director of associated student ac
tivities, said yesterday.
The reading room will contain
bound, wooden cases with the
name of the books on them. The
books may be picked up at the
Hetzel Union Desk. Not all the
books will be ready at this time,
but the book service will be avail
able.
Money for the book collection
was given by the X-G-I Club in
1048 when they disbanded. At
this time they turned over their
funds, amounting to about $l4OO,
to the Hetzel Memorial Book
Fund under a trusteeship.
The club stated in their letter
to James W. Milholland, acting
president of the University, "It
is the hope of the Club that the
books purchased will reflect Dr.
Hetzel's great interest in students
and that they will be of a type
suitable for use on open shelves
in a reading room in the perman
ent Student Union Building."
Since the plans had not been
completed for building, the fund
was left under a trusteeship com
posed of R. E. Galbraith, professor
of English composition, Donovan,
and Wilmer E. Kenworthy, direc
tor of student affairs. If, by June
1, 1953, the location for the books
did not seem possible, then the
trustee had the power to assign
the money to another purpose,
"having to do with the welfare of
the students."
The money was to be invested
for not more than five years be
fore the location was possible.

1. That the elections committee
be composed of a chairman and
four members. The chairman shall
be appointed by the president of
AIM with the advice and consent
of the board. The presidents of
the four councils each shall sub
mit one name, chosen with the
advice and consent of their re
spective councils, to the presi
dent of AIM to be appointed mem
bers of the elections committee.
2. That the entire elections
code be incorporated in the by
laws of the AIM constitution.
The four councils, Nittany, Pol
lock, West Halls, and Town, have
ratified the revised constitution.
It is officially adopted, Robert
Dennis, president, announced, and
it will be submitted to the Sen
ate Committee on Student Affairs
Wednesday for its approval.
