From Three Committees
Reports on last fall’s All-University class elections, the
Junior Prom and Junior Week, and Orientation Week were
approved by All-University Cabinet last night.
Roger Beidler, chairman of Ihe Elections Committee,
recommended that voting machines again be used in the Het
zel Union Building for the spring elections and that the
IFC May Set
February Date
For Pledging
Fraternities will probably be
allowed to pledge freshmen some
time in February, Robert Bullock,
Interfraternity Council president,
said last night.
Bullock said the exact date for
legalized pledging will not be
known until the University re
leases fall semester grades to frat
ernities.
He also reminded fraternities,
that under the new system they
must register all men they pledge
with the Fraternity Affairs Office.
Complete rushing lists will be
sent to fraternities early next se
mester, he said. The lists will in
clude the names of men who have
been pledged by a fraternity, in
addition to eligible freshmen.
This way, he said, fraternities
will know who has been pledged,
and what men are still eligible for
rushing.

committee’s budget be increased
to $125 for the spring semester
and $75 for the fall semester. The
money is to be used for impartial
advertising.
SLely Asks Deletion
All-University President Earl
Seely asked Cabinet to delete
from the report a recommenda
tion requesting the holding of a
referendum vote during the
spring elections allowing students
to select one football half-holi
day. Under a plan now under
consideration students would be
allowed two floating half-holi
days in the fall and one full holi
day in the spring. The holidays
would be determined by Cabinet.
The recommendation was taken
out of the report by Cabinet
which decided to wait until the
Council on Administration meets
next week.
Amendment Suggested
Beidler also read the commit
tee’s proposal to add an amend
ment to the Elections code which
would not permit any elected of
ficer of a political party to run
for any office in any other politi
cal party for a period of not less
than a year after his resignation.
This request came after Wil
liam Snyder, former Lion Party
vice clique chairman, ran for
the same post in the Campus Par
ty last December.
Interpretation Questioned
Patricia Farrell, Women’s Rec
reation Association president, and
Harold Dean, head of the Cab
inet Secretariat, said the amend
ment could be interpreted by
Elections Committee any way it
pleased if an officer of a political
party decided to start a party of
his own.
Since Cabinet felt this would
possibly delegate too much pow
er of decision to the committee,
it deleted the amendment from
the report, allowing Election
Committee to rewrite the amend
ment if it wished.
Bahrenburg Reads Report
The report on the Junior Prom,
read by Robert Bahrenburg, jun
ior class president, detailed the
events of Junior Week and the
prom. Bahrenburg said he thought
the week was “very successful”
and described the week’s pep
rally as “one of the largest and
best in several years.” He also
said, “The Junior Prom was at
tended by more than 1000 couples
and people were turned away
from the Chapel Service.”
George Yingling, Engineering
and Architecture Council presi
dent, read a report on last Sep
tember’s Orientation Week pro
gram in the absence of Vernon
Sones, Orientation committee
chairman.
$125 Allocation Approved
Cabinet also allocated $125 to
the Junior class for a Christmas
party held for faculty children
in December.
Seely announced the following

Brinks Case Solved
By FBI; 6 Arrested
BOSTON, Jan. 12 (/P) —The nation’s biggest cash holdup
—the $1,218,211 cash Brink’s job—has been solved, the FBI
announced today.
Within hours of the announcement six men all with
criminal records—were held in bail of more than $lOO,OOO
| each for a hearing in two weeks. Their bail totaled $670,000.
They were brought into court
with each manacled between two
FBI men
Two other men are in custody,
one serving a term in the Western
Penitentiary at Pittsburgh, Pa.,
the other in a Massachusetts jail
for gun-carrying.
Two others are being sought.
The FBI said 11 men were in
volved in the holdup—seven were
the masked gang wearing identi
cal chauffeur's caps, Navy-type
pea coats and gray trousers.
One Is Dead
One of the 11 men died “of nat
ural causes” a year ago, the an
nouncement said.
In addition to the cash, the rob
bers’ loot included $1,557,183.83
in checks, money orders and se
curities. It never was disclosed
whether any of this was negotia
ble.
The six men arraigned were:
Adolph Maffie, 44, of North
Quincy; Joseph F. McGinnis, 52,
Boston; Vincent J. Costa, 41, of
Pembroke; Michael V. Geagen, 47,
of Milton; Athony Pino, 48, Bos
ton; and Henry Baker, 49, of . Na
tick.
Already in Jail
Already in jail in other cases,
but charged with the others are
Joseph J. (Specs) O’Keefe, 47, of
Boston; and Stanley A. Gusciora,
36, Boston.
Thomas F. Richardson, 48, of
Weymouth and James I. Faherty,
44. of Boston, are being sought.
The 11th man named by the FBI
was Joseph S. Banfield, 45, of Bos
ton, who died a year ago.
The FBI said it has turned over
all its evidence and reports in the
case to Boston’s Suffolk County
Dist. Atty. Garrett Byrne.
Sitting Extended
Byrne announced he has ex
tended the sitting of the Suffolk
County grand jury—now in ses
sion—and will set aside all other
business to procede with the
Brink’s prosecution.
. The announcement of the solu
tion of the baffling crime said it
was “an FBI job all the way.”
Because of that, Brink’s express
may not have to pay any of the
$lOO,OOO reward it offered for “in
formation leading to the arrest
and conviction” of the robbers.
FRIDAY. JANUARY 13. 1956
AIM Tables
Discussion
On NISA
The Association of Independent
Men’s Board of Governors Wed
nesday night voted to table dis
cussion on the National Indepen
dent Student Association until it
could be determined which stu
dents are interested in attending
the NISA convention in the
spring.
AIM president Bruce Lieske
brought up the subject when he
named Thomas Smith and Wil
liam Johnson as delegates to the
spring convention. However, sev
eral members of the board ques
tioned this move on the grounds
that since the two had not been
questioned on the matter, it was
possible they may not be interest
ed in attending the convention.
The board then agreed to delay
naming the delegates until the
Board members and others—who
might be interested—could be
questioned.
The board also voted to have
the Recreation Committee look
into the possibilities of installing
lights on the poles at the ice skat
ing rink to light both the rink
and the adjacent basketball
courts.
John Dennis, Pollock Council
representative, who first raised
the question, said the courts were
heavily used, and that lights
would greatly benefit the East
Area recreation program. He said
he had no idea of the cost of in
stalling such lights.
FBI men cannot accept such
awards.
The FBI had been close on the
trail of the arrested men for a
long time. All but one of the ar
rested men were called before a
U.S. grand jury here three years
ago.in an inquiry which failed,
however, to produce any indict
ments.
