PA., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21. 1956 FIVE CENTS Spring Week Plan Stresses Carnival Spring Week Committee has decided to suggest to All-University Cabinet that points for Spring Week be distributed so that 45 per cent of the overall points be given for the carn ival, 25 per cent for the Mad Hatter's Parade, 15 per cent for the coronation of Miss Penn State, and 15 per cent for the He-Man Contest. Members of the committee said they thought the carnival should be weighed most heavily because participation of more students is involved. Only one or two students will be entered from each group in each of the other three contests. It was suggested that 50 per cent of the total points be given for the carnival; how ever the committee decided that this would give too much of an advantage to the group Flip of Coin Decides Slate For Elections After nearly 45 minutes of hag gling last night, the All-Univer sity Elections Committee, work ing in conjunction with the Cam pus and Lion party clique chair men, decided that the All-Univer sity offices for the March elec tions will be arranged between fraternity and independent men as follows: All-University presi dent, independent; All-University vice president, fraternity; All- University secretary - treasurer, indepenaent; senior class presi ' del% fraternity; and junior class president, independent. In keeping with a decision by All-University Cabinet passed last Thursday night which provided that three of the top five posts be filled by Independent men, Rob ert Spadaro, Lion party clique chairman, and Jack Abele, Cain pus party clique chairman, sub mitted numerous variations as to how the five positions should be arranged. Each clique chairman finally submitted a slate which was acceptable to him, and a coin was flipped. Campus party won the toss. The slate submitted by th e Lion party was independent, fra• ternity, independent, independ ent, fraternity, in that order. Commenting on the final de dision going in favor of Campus party, Spadaro said, "Naturally the party will be hurt by the out come, and this calls for somewhat of a shakeup in our plans as to who we will run next month." Earlier in the meeting, Abele commented that his - party had a wealth of candidates .from which !to choose.

Carnival North of Ice Rink Daniel Van Duyne, carnival' chairman, presented a report on, where the carnival could be held. The committee voted in favor of 1 holding the carnival north of the ice rink. Van Duyne said they would be able to use the parking lot and the field lust north of it. Van Duyne suggested that be cause of the shape of the area the carnival would probably be set up in four rows instead of the three that have previously been used. He said there is a baseball field next to the area which is being seeded and will be fenced off for the carnival. Site Is Central Location Van Duyne mentioned that the area, the Nittany Recreation Area, is the same distance from the cen ter of the fraternity district as Recreation Hall. Although the committee has de cided in favor of using the area it must be approved by Cabinet and officially reserved for the carnival. The committee voted to suggest "Book Titles" as a theme for the Mad Hatter's Parade. Themes for past years have been "Comic Strips", and "Movies," and "Penn State Through the Past 100 Years." This year the parade will in clude only one contestant from each organization or two contes tants from each entry group. The criteria on which the contestants will be judged is artistic, original ity, and humor.
