Given Gr
"Greeks in Brotherhood" was chosen as the Greek Week
theme and two dates of the Week's activities were changed
at a committee meeting Wednesday.
Preliminary sing tryouts are scheduled for April 13 and
instead of 12 and 13. Because the outstanding pledge ban
quet and exchange dinners will
be held on the 12th, it was de
cided that there would not be
enough time after the dinner for
tryouts, William Mills, IFC-Pan
hel sing co-chairman said.
The date of the IFC-Panhel ban
quet was changed from the 16th
to the 18th because the Nittany
Lion Inn was not available on
the 16th.
The exchange dinner and pledge
banquet on the 12th mark the
beginning of the week. Prelimi
nary sing tryouts will be held
on the 13th. Work projects are
expected to start at 12:30 p.m. on
the 14th with the final sing com
petition scheduled for the 16th.
'A banquet on the •18th will con
elude the Week's activities.
Each fraternity and sorority
will send a pledge to the out
standing pledge banquet. The
chapter president, the IFC repre
sentative or rushing chairman,
and the chapter adviser will at
tend the IFC-Panhel banquet.
Organizations will receive bills
for the banquets which should be
returned before the affairs are
held, Mills said.
Greek Week was shortened this
year so the students would not
lose interest in the events, he
said.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 1 (JP) The University of
Alabama's trustees "permanently expelled" Negro coed Au

school teacher readmitted to the
Tuscaloosa campus by Monday.
Miss Lucy, first Negro ever en
rolled at the 125-year-old school,
was suspended Feb. 6 after three
days of rioting by• students and
"outsiders" over her presence.

Deadline Extended
For Traffic Cases
The deadline for traffic viola
tors to report to the dean of men's
office has been extended to
Thursday, March 8
Letters are being sent by the
office to students who have not
paid parking and traffic fines in
a general crackdown on such of
fenders.
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

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."
