DECEMBER 8. 1955 FIVE CENTS Dress Rule to Be First Supreme Court Rule The Supreme Court will function for the first time since its inception tonight when it decides on the constitutionality of the dress rule, now in effect in the men’s dormitories. The Court, made up of senior members of Women’s Judicial and Tribunal, will decide whether or not All-University Cabinet overstepped its jurisdiction when it passed the dress rule in the fall of 1953. of having men dormitory residents wear coats and ties up at the Student Encampment in 1953. That fall it was Bruce Lieske, president of the Association of. Independent Men, has said he will push for a ruling of unconstitutionality at tomor row night’s hearingi Lieske said he thinks the ruling is unconsti tutional because Cabinet does not have the right to legislate to an individual campus group. Lieske said that the only legal way to have the dress rule is to have the individual councils vote on it. Seely to Defend Rule All-University President Earl Seely said he will “defend” the Cabinet action. Court Chairman Karl Schwenz feier said that the court procedure will follow as closely as possible the proceedings of a regular court of law. He added that some sort of pro cedure had to be set up because the Court had never before func tioned. According to the plan, the pro ceedings will begin with a read ing of the entire case from the conception of the idea at En campment to the passing of the rule by Cabinet. The report will be .read by Dean Belt, secretary of Tribunal. Belt to Read Complaint Belt will read the letter of complaint from. Lieske, which started the proceedings leading to the hearing. In this letter will be the reasons for challenging the constitutionality of the ruling. On this point, Schwenzfeier said that in the future a letter of- this kind will have to be sent to Seely in order to have a case heard by the Supreme Court. After the case has been fully put forth, Schwenzfeier will call on Seely and Lieske to announce a list of the people who will speak for and against unconsti tutionality of the ruling. Schwenz feier implied that because the case is a clean-cut one there will probably be only the two main speakers. The idea ner first came ICCB Vetoes All-University Open Houses Inter-Collegiate Council Board, composed of the nine college council presidents, has voted not to hold an All-University open house. ‘ The Board discussed the prob lem with the. Council of Adminis tration,* a faculty administrative body, and decided it would not be advantageous, to have all the colleges hold an open house on the same day. - The All-University open house held last year received little par ticipation and was not a success, according to Fred Seipt, president of ICCB. Seipt said that some colleges, liberal arts and business adminis tration for instance, do not have any material to show.at an open house. Others, however, like the College of Agriculture have so many events throughout the year that are-similar -to air open-house than an open house is unneces sary. Some colleges will still hold their individual open house, but not in conjunction with others. Each college will set its own date. Lowenfeld New Art Ed Head Viktor Lowenfeld, professor of art education, has been named head of the department of art ed ucation, effective Feb. 1.

Attlee, 73 next month, stepped down because of age and uncer tain health after 20 years in the post, six of them as Prime Minis ter in crisis-ridden times after World War 11. The bespectacled,, pipe-smoking Socialist retired only seven months after age also forced Sir Winston Churchill, his friend and rival for political dominance, in to private life. Within minutes after Attlee an nounced his retirement at a party caucus, Leftist Bevan began op enly canvassing support in bal loting which begins Friday to name a new leader. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Board to Question When the two speakers have made their points the board will question them on anything which might have a bearing on the case. When this is completed the court will make its decision along with the reasons for the decision and any recommendations it might have. If the dress rule is found to be unconstitutional, the councils from the residence areas will of ficially vote on whether or not they want the dress rule to stay in effect. All three areas have already taken unofficial votes on the mat ter and two of them, Nittany and West Halls voted to wait until the Supreme Court has reached a de cision. Pollock Council indicated, that the majority of students in that area favor a revision in the dress rule. Most politicians, however, said the odds favored victory for Hugh Gaitskell, 49, a Socialist in tellectual, or Attlee’s lieutenant, Herbert Morrison, 67, a profes sional politician. Both are mod erates. The consensus appeared to be that Gaitskell has the edge. The outcome, which may be known by next Wednesday, was seen as likely to determine whe ther Labor retains its present policy of intimate friendship with the United States in foreign af fairs or swings toward the inde pendent line advocated by Bevan. A Bevanite victory would be sure to mean Labor demands for sweeping new nationalization schemes and government controls. to the Sunday din passed by Cabinet.
