Preliminary sing tryouts are scheduled for April 13 and instead of 12 and 13.

Cabinet Parking A report dealing with the adverse parking situation at the University was presented to All-University Cabinet last night by Thomas Dye, former Lion party clique chairman. After showing considerable enthusiasm, Cabinet moved to table the report for future consideration. In presenting the report, Dye asked Cabinet to wait at least until next Thursday's ses sion before taking action, since an issue such as the parking situ ation would require a certain amount of research and consider ation. Ross Lehman, assistant secre tary of the Alumni Association and ex-officio member of Cabi net, further commented that pre vious Cabinet bodies have at tempted to deal with the parking situation, but to no avail. He add ed that the parking problem should not be dealt with hastily and that a conference with the proper administrative representa tive would perhaps be a step in the right direction. Two Factors Stated The report singled out two fac tors which were reasons for the Council of Administration pass- to Hold Up Payments he Athletic Association, will be effective until action is taken by the Supreme Court or until the matter is again brought before Cabinet for further consideration. Moorhead also told Cabinet of his plans to introduce a motion to rescind Cabinet's approval of student government compensa tions. Wants No Embarassment He added that his reason for making the motion to stop pay ment on the checks was to avoid !embarassment of having to ask iforthe return of the money in the event the Supreme Court rules that compensations are unconsti tutional. Obviously annoy to uy Cabi net's hassle over the matter of stopping payment on the checks, George Donovan, manager of as sociated student activities, asked !Cabinet to make clear which i body—Cabinet or the Supreme 'Court—would be the one to grant. the power to write checks for student government expenditures. He said that if all Cabinet action were to be brought before the court, the court might have to !approve even the smallest ap propriation, such as money for a Nittany Lion statuette for the Swiss gymnasts. Lutter Backs Move Rudolph Lutter, last year a Lion Party candidate for All- University president and a strong opponent of compensations, urged Cabinet to hold up the payment of compensation checks, stating that it would be a black mark i against Cabinet if the checks !would be sent out and cashed. Lutter called the sending out of the checks, a "psychological move" stating that if the checks were sent out, all people con ' cerned would be inclined to think that nothing more could be done in any attempt to gain the ouster of compensations. He said, "Any such psycho logical move is completely un called for." Beard cautioned Cabinet against letting itself get into a political discussion. He said that he felt (Continued on page eight) Tables Report By RON GATEHOUSE ing the freshman car ban last spring. The reasons were elimi nation of automobiles as a dis traction from studies and to solve the problem of cramped parking space. Quoting from tne report, Dye said, "The bark generated tre mendous student concern, not only over the ban itself, but also over the possibilities of the fur ther banning of upperclassmen's automobiles." Consider Increased Facilities Three recommendations for Cabinet action concluded the re port, the first of which read, "Recommend to the Council of Administration that it considers a long-range program for increas ing parking facilities."
