Tribunal to Quiz

police last Wednesday morning will go before Tribunal tonight,

WH Council
Hears New
Constitution
A new constitution for the west
dormitory area was presented to
the West Halls Council last night
The reorganized constitution was
proposed to conform with the re
cently rewritten constitution of
the Association of Independent
Men and to meet changes made
by> the housing board concerning
the west halls area.
Under the old constitution, each
112 men in the West Halls area
were represented by one council
man. Since the housing depart
ment has divided several floors in
half with fire doors, the residents
are cut off from their representa
tives.
Under the new constitution, ge
ographical areas will be set up,
and each of these areas will be
represented by one councilman.
This will increase the number of
representatives on the council.
Also, two representatives at
large will be elected to the West
Halls board of governors. This
places them on the council, ac
cording to the new constitution,
and gives them a vote in council
affairs.
Committee chairmen will not
have to be members of the coun
cil in order to serve, as was man
datory in the old constitution.
The new constitution must be
read to the council once more. The
representatives will then take the
constitution before their respec
tive units for a vote. The consti
tution must be passed by two
thirds of the 17 units before it can
go into effect.
In other business of the council,
Frank Simokat, sixth semester
electrical engineering major, was
appointed social chairman for next
year.
The council voted to give a
freshman from the west halls area
an outstanding freshman award.
The recipient will be named at
the council banquet tomorrow
night in the Terrace Room of the
Hetzel Union Building. Keys and
other awards will also be present
ed. James W. Dean, assistant to
the dean of men, will be the guest
speaker.

Extension Center
Draws Many Groups
The Extension Conference Center, formerly knoWh as
the Temporary Union Building, is now bringing groups from
all over the state and nation to the campus.
The center, which forms a part of the University’s twelve
extension areas, is designed for adult or continued education,
rather than undergraduate education. It has sixty conferences,
institutes, and short courses
scheduled to be held through No
vember and has already held
twenty conferences since its op
ening' on March IS
These conferences bring 3B to
350 representatives to the exten
sion conference centers. Every
county in the state, and every
state in the Union has been rep
resented at the conferences.
Informal Conferences
Conferences and institutes are
the informal order and include
discussion periods, lectures, and
workshops. Short courses are
somewhat formal, involve a more
limited field, and are more con
centrated than the average under
graduate semester course at the
University. The short courses
bring men in industry, business,
and other occupations sent by
companies for continued study in
a short period of time.
This week,-two conferences are
being held. A traffic officers
training school, which will con
tinue for two weeks, brought
some 35 traffic officers from all
over Pennsylvania. A Cuban medr
ical workers conference, with
representatives from Cuba sent by
the government’s Foreign Opera
tions Administration program and
conducted by the labor division
at the University, is also meeting
this week*

The TUB has been completely
remodeled since its pre-Hetzel
Union Building days, inside, the
walls have been painted and
furniture recovered. The exterior
has also been painted. 1
The Extension Conference Cen
ter, headed by T. Reed Ferguson,
hopes in the future to have over
100 conferences a year in the
building, which was formerly a
recreation center for students.
