IFC was told that all pledges involved in the work shops were enthusiastically be hind the idea of a pledge council. Discussions Limited The Liberal Arts Student Coun cil last night voted unanimously in favor of extending the Christ- mas vacation. The council favored the exten sion because of the hazardous traveling conditions caused by a short Vule vacation, and because of the inconvenience it causes students who hold vacation jobs. Voting Mar Be Extended The council will also look into the possibility of extending the balloting for freshman representa tives to Thursday. Only 1 i fresh men out of approximately 37S en rolled in the college, voted yester day. On Thursday, the ballot boxes would be placed in Waring lounge] in the morning and in the Hetzel Union building in the afternoon. Apathetic Relations Exist Council members cited the apathy that existed in the Liberal Arts college between the faculty and the students. Barbara Bud nick, junior in journalism from Schenectady, N.Y., was appoint ed chairman of a committee to look into ways to improve stu dent-faculty relations. The committee will report on the possibility of the council elect ing another adviser for the coun cil, to assist R. C. Maloney, assis tant dean of the college. 15" Apply far Scholarship Virgilio Volpe, senior in arts and letters from Norristown, said that 15 applications for the Liberal Arts scholarship have been turned in. He said that the winner will be announced as soon as possible. Kay Vise, the council's Nation al Student Association representa tive to the National Congress, read her report and concluded that she thought it would be wise for the council to continue to send repre sentatives to the Congress. 1 22 Groups Prepare For Mardi Weekend Twenty sororities.

I Results of the Fraternity Mar keting Association poll, released at the meeting, pointed out a need for a price comparison between members and non-members of FMA, which IFC vice president Howard F. Thompson said would be conducted in the near future. A poll of SO houses. Thompson said, showed 10 houses which might join if their chapters ap proved the move, and two houses which they said definitely would not join the group. Food Buying Croup FMA is a food discount buying organization for member fraterni ties. but. since its inception, it has been plagued by lack of sufficient members. More than 30 of the 54! fraternities on campus presently! belong to the group. FMA will try. Thompson said, to make a price comparison be tween FMA prices and the prices of a non-member which has con sented to throw open its private food price list.

Woodward, as sistant professor of chemistry, is studying the solution properties of synthetic polyampholytes. Synthetic polyampholytes re semble proteins but are simpler in structure. Dr. Woodward’s project is sup ported by the Frederick Gardner, Cottrell grant of $2860 which hej received from the Research Corp oration. ; Woodward explained that the polyampholytes are chemical com-, pounds which have acidic and basic chemical groupings built in to the molecule. They are pro-; duced by chemical processes and have no biological activity. Synthetic Systems He said that more can be learned by studying the simple synthetic systems about “the more complex naturally occurring sys tems such as proteins and nucleic acids.” Woodward hopes that the ex perimental information can be, used to either confirm or disprove' recent theories in the field.

Grant Aids Project Decision Ti Court Issue Causes Turmoil on Campus The question of the Supreme Court elimination., which has caused heated debate in All-University Cabinet during I the last two weeks, is probably the most important campus issue at present. The Supreme Court as it stands now is a judicial body that has constitutional jurisdiction over Cabinet, legislation if it is appealed. The court is composed of the senior members of the Women’s Student Govern ment Association Judicial Board and Tribunal. Last year the Court met twice. It reviewed and reversed the de cision of the All-University Elec tions Committee and Cabinet when the Lion party was penal ized votes for violating the Elec-i tions Code. Penalty Illegal Cabinet and Elections Commit tee approved the penalty and, [when the Lion party appealed to [the Supreme Court, the court de clared the penalty illegal. The other case brought before the court last year concerned the Sunday dress rule in Waring HalL After Cabinet’s approval, the court once again reversed the de cision of the highest student gov erning body on the grounds that' the decision was unconstitutional because Cabinet had no authority over personal matters. Talk about Supreme Court abol ition was in the air last’year, but the push came in September when a Student Encampment Workshop recommended its elimi nation and the transfer of its l functions to Cabinet. Action Postponed All Encampment recommenda tions are discussed by Cabinet. [The court question arose Oct. 4 [but it was postponed until Oct. 18 when it was included in a revi sion of the Cabinet constitution. I In order for Cabinet to amend its constitution the revision must be approved at three consecutive [meetings—by a majority at the [first two meetings, and at the third meeting, a two-thirds ma jority. The amendment in the revision eliminating the judicial body was supported by a 13-11 vote Oct 18 and by a 14-9 vote Oct. 25. The showdown vote is sched uled for tomorrow night. If two more Cabinet members vote in favor of the amendment the Su preme Court will be abolished. TIM Cart Races Set for Saturday The push cart race sponsored annually ,by Town' Independent Men will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sat urday in the Osmond parking lot. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Campus Chest accord ing to James Tipton, TIM presi dent. Students may register at the Hetzel Union desk any time be fore the race. Registration fee is $5.
