OCTOBER 7. 1955 FIVE CENTS 4 Program Suggestions Approved by Cabinet Suggestions on the academic honesty program, registration procedure, the commence ment seating problem, and the broadening of the education of students in required curricu lums were received and approved last night by All-University Cabinet. Patricia Farrell, chairman of the Commit tee on Academic Policies, presented a report as drawn up by the committee at Student Encampment before the start of Orientation Week early in September. , • Except for a section on the Commencement seating situation, various: parts of the report were referred to Cabinet Committees and Senate subcommittees. Approval by Cab inet does not mean suggestions in the report will be put into action; they were accepted and read into the minutes. The first point in the report dealt with implementing the academic honesty program by bringing it to faculty members' and students' attention, especial ly freshmen. The section was re ferred to the Inter-College Coun cil Board which may suggest ways in which academic studies in the colleges are carried out. The section suggested that students express their support of the program and urge their stu dent council presidents to bring to the college deans' attention cases where the rules are over looked. Also suggested was that itu dents be reminded by letter of the value that is placed on the program at the University, and that freshmen be acquainted with the plan through hat socie ties, publicity in publications, and Orientation W„e e k welcoming speeches. The question as to how regis tration procedure can be im proved was referred by Cabinet to the Registration . Committee. It was suggested that a dia-' gram of the registration stations in Recreation Hall be printed .on the envelope containing registra tion material; that more atten tion be given to the deans' sta tions on the floor of Rec Hall, and that the administration in vestigate the possibility of allow ing, eighth semester seniors to register early. Admitting that it is desirable to encourage high scholarship in students, the report suggested that honor students be allowed greater freedom in cutting class es, receive exemption from exam inations, receive "Cum Laude" recognition on diplomas ' instead ofjust transcripts, and be al lowed to audit additional courses beyond the normal requirements of their curriculums. Also included in this section, which was referred to the Senate subcommittee on academic hon esty, was the recommendation that the deans' office recognize high quality in instructors by in stituting student evaluation of professors and courses. Another section which was given to the study of ICCB con cerned ways of making changes or additions to curriculums so that students can receive a gen (Continued on page eight) 6 Students Named to Committee The Senate Committee on Stu dent Affairs approved the ap pointments of six students to Sen ate subcommittees at its meeting Wednesday. The committee also received petitions for the sanctions of a chapter of the Civil Air Patrol on campus and a'new student fraternity, pi Sigma Upsilon. Pi Sigma Petition The petition of Pi Sigma Upsi lon was referred to the Senate subcommittee on organization and control. A group of students residing at 139 N. Atherton street organized the house last April under the name of Pi Sigma Upsilon. The members are, now seeking offi- cial recognition by the University as a campus fraternity. - Students approved to subcom mittees were: William Johnson and Patricia Dickinson, subcom mittee on organization and con trol; Harry Fuehrer and Mary Conrad, subcommittee on health and recreation; Daniel Van Duyne and Dorothy Thompson, subcom mittee on student affaris. Wareham Backs Air Patrol Elmer C. Wareham, instructor in music, submitted a petition to the Committee that a chapter of the Civil Air Patrol, for men and women students, be established and officially recognized on cam pus. The chapter, to be called Uni versity Park Squadron 1303, would be a sister to the State College squadron, which has been operating since 1948.

The conference, Hagerty made clear, would be limited to topics cleared in advance by the presi dential physicians. Secretary of St-te Dulles may visit the Presi-; dent sometime next week for a talk before going to the foreign ministers' meeting at Geneva, but this has not been definitely de termined. Medical Report The 11 a.m. medical bulletin said: "The President's condition con tinues to be satisfactory without complications. fie had a good night's rest and feels comfortable and cheerful. His morning exam inations show his temperature, FOR A BETTER PENN STATE pulse and blood pressure to be normal. His cardiogram shows the expected slow evolution. .The doctors here will make an other complete check-up on Eis enhower this weekend. Out of their consultations is expected to come a determination of the course of treatment from then on and decisions on the extent to which the President may step up the pace of conferences and offi cial government business. Visiting Hours Uncertain Just when and how long Nixon will be able to see Eisenhower will be up to the doctors. It may be late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Also uncertain, Hagerty said, is the date of Nixon's departure back to Washington—a statement that opened up a possibility that the vice president might visit his chief more than once. • Tottrgiatt Hospital Releases 4 Students Four of the six students injured in last Saturday's automobile ac cident are home.
