AIM Board
To Discuss
Rink Pass
The Association of Independent
Men’s Board of Governors will
hear new developments in the plan
to have season tickets for the ice
skating rink tonight.
Nelson Seidel, chairman of the
projects committee, last week told
the board that a season-ticket
plan had been rejected by Ernest
B. McCoy, dean of the College of
Physical Education and Athletics.
The board voted, however, for a
continuation of a search for some
sort of plan by which season
tickets could be used for the rink.
According to Seidel, McCoy’s
objection was based on the as
sumption that such a plan would
only cause the rink to lose mfofeiex.
McCoy said that last yew the rm,
!B dt& Sitt&fcyear of operation, jost
$BOOO and any new plan should
be designed to help make money
to offset Otis loss.
McCoy added that at present
the rink offers one of the lowest
ice-skating fees of any college
skating rink in the country.
Also scheduled for discussion
is the plan to hold a regular so
cial function for independents
every Friday night in the Hetzel
Union building.
Last week AIM voted to hold
this function—to be patterned af
ter a night club—in the Terrace
Boom of the HUB. The original
plan was to have the “night clpb”
in the ballroom. However, Harold
Dean, social chairman, reported
last week that the Terrace Room
would be a better spot since it
would facilitate working with
Food Service who is supplying
the food for the night club plan.
Dean also said that he thought
that the Terrace Room would be
easier to turn into a night club
than the ballroom.
Independent Choir
To Give Concert
The Association of Independent
Men-Leonides choir will present
a concert of Christmas music at
7:15 p.m. tomorrow in Simmons
Lounge. Charles Matz, graduate in
music education from Mohnton,

He reached his. room without

The board felt that since he did

have to take definite action on
the case. _

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE- PENNSYLVANIA
University
To Donate
Historic Site
The University will donate the
Northumberland home of Joseph
Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen,
to the borough of Northumber
land at ft ceremony today.
Four ofiicals will represent the
University in the presentation.
They are Dr. W. Conrad Feme
lius, acting dean of the College of
Chemistry and Physics; Dr. A.
Witt Hutchison, acting head of the
department of chemistry; Dr.
Donald E. H. Frear, professor of
agricultural and biological chem
istry; and Walter H. Wiegand, di
rector of the department of the
physical plant.
The home was purchased by
University graduates and other
chemists in 1919, after learning
that it was no longer in the hands
of the family. In 1932, the group
deeded the property to the Uni
versity, which has maintained
it since.
In addition to a large white
house on the property, there is a
small brick building which serves
as a museum for Priestley’s scien
tific instruments. Replicas of
some of the equipment no longer
available are also in the museum.
Priestly fled from his birthplace
near. Birmingham, England, when
he was persecuted for his religious
teaching of the Unitarian faith.
Re found refuge in the woods of
Central Pennsylvania and in 1795
built his home at Northumber
land.

NSA Membership

(The first in a series of three articles explaining NS A)
NSA is a campus topic of conversation. What is it, in addition
to this?
NSA stands for National Student Association, which is com
posed of 300 member colleges and universities. The total number
of students represented in the confederation is 600,000.
With this numbex of students
NSA is the largest representa
tive national student organisa
tion in the world. The repre
sentatives are usually appoint
ed. not elected, and carry their
own ideas to the conventions,
not the - ideas of the student
bodies. In this sense the total
of 600.000 students is not rep
resented at the NSA meetings.
Once a year voting student
representatives of member col
leges, as well as interested ob
servers, attend the National Stu
dent Congress. The number of
representatives sent by each
school is based' on school enroll
ment.
At the congress, representatives
divided into committees to work
on specific issues such as plans,
programs, and policies for NSA|
to follow during the coming, year.
Committees also work on national
and international issues concern
ing education.
In addition to the committee
work at the congress, training
sessions for student govern
ment leaders are carried out to
help representatives gain a
working knowledge of leader
ship programs.
The yearly congress lasts
more than a week.
Another part of. NSA is a Na
tional Advisory Council, com
posed of educators and leading
public figures.
In addition to its national and
international scope, NSA works
on a regional level. There are 19
geographic regions in the- na
tional organization. Regional
meetings are. held twice a year
to establish programs and poli
cies ' representative of the area
opinion and individual member
schools.
Regional organisations, the
main link between the member
schools and the National Con
gress. plan specific projects for
the benefit of its region.

Unit to Submit
Three Election
Suggestions
The All-University Elections
Committee decided Monday night
to submit three recommendations
to All-University Cabinet ip its
post-elections report Thursday
night.
The report, which will be sub
mitted by Roge. Beidler, chair
man, will ask Cabinet to include
a referendum listing three choices
for dates of future half-holidays
at every spring and fall elections’
site.
[ Students would be able to vote
. for the two half-holidays they
want for the following semesters.
The referendum is planned to
draw more voters out to the All-
University officer and class elec
tions as well as the student coun
cil elections. The latter will be
held at the same time and place
as the officer and class elections
this spring.
The committee also voiced its
continued approval of the use of
voting machines during elections
and will recommend their contin
uance this spring.
The third recommendation will
request an increase of the com
mittee’s elections’ budget to $125
to allow for nun®' non-partisan
publicity urging students to vote.
The committee originally plan
ned to submit an amendment to
the elections code to "Cabinet
