No Immediate Action Bullock commented yesterday afternoon that "We don't intend to take any direct action until we're certain how things stand." Roy Williams, president of Pi Kappa Phi, and Allen First, presi dent of Pi Lambda Phi, said last night that they would let the IFC handle the situation. James Quinn, vice president of Delta Tau Delta, said that some members of the fraternity believe that a discrepancy had been found in computing their individual averages, thus possibly leading to an error in the computation of the fraternity over-all average. Averages Being Checked However, the recorder's office, now in the process of rechecking the three fraternities' averages, reported that although an error had been made in computing Del ta Tau Delta's average, the cor rected figure was not high enough to give the fraternity an over-all 2.0.

PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 13. 1956 Lion Party Votes Restored by Court The Supreme Court Wednesday night unanimously decided that Elections Commit tee did not have the power to strike the Book Exchange and parking planks from the plat form of the Lion party and that the votes which were docked because of these planks should be officially returned to Lion party. This action switches for the second time the results of the junior class secretary-treas urer election. Mary Mertz is once again the junior class secretary-treasurer. Miss Mertz originally polled more popular votes than her Campus party op ponent, : , ,earie Thierwechter, but through the Elections Committee i "vote-dock" ruling' Miss Thier wechter was named secretary treasurer. The Supreme Court's decision restores 90 votes per candidate to the Lion party, making Miss Mertz the winner by five votes. No other positions were affected by the ruling. No Power Granled In its official statement the 'court based its decision on Article 5 Paragraph 3 of the Electioza, Code. The court felt that this pas sage did not grant sufficient ,power for the Elections Commit tee to censor party platforms cr to delete planks from these plat forms. Robert Spadaro, Lion party clique chairman, who argued the second case for the Lion party, pointed out to the court that the Elections Code, in Article 5 Para graph 3. said that platforms had to be turned in to Elections Com mittee by a certain date but made no mention of the power to throw out any platform or part of a platform.
