Dr. Albert Christ-Janer, direc tor of the School of the Arts, told Cabinet it would cost $60,000 to acoustically equip Rec Hall, and $5OOO to do the same for Schwab. If the student fee is raised $2 per semester, he said, the cultural mately $26,000 a semester, or $52,000 a year. The community program could realize approxi will buy approximately $BOOO worth of tickets, he said, giving the program $60,000 a year. Down Payment Possible The community concert series would be given $6,000 for the spring semester, and the remain ing $20,000 applied as a down payment to the Board of Trustees for the refurnishing of the two buildings, he said. - “The’ Board of Trustees, seeing such action on the part of the students,” he added, “could be nothing but. impressed, and I am sure they would consider follow ing through with generosity.” Cabinet Action Asked Dr. Christ-Janer urged Cabinet to take the first step in making such a program possible saying. “You (Cabinet) are in"a position to make a historic contribution to this _ University— putting this University on a true university level.” . . Preceding. Cabinet’s approval, Dr. Christ-Janer told the group if fees were raised, students would then be given a booklet, such as the Athletic Association uses, permitting them to attend each concert, recital, or movie. Of course,-he added, not all stu dents can get to see a perform ance in Rec Hall or . Schwab at the . same'time. The same thing happens at athletic events, he added. But if the program is especially good, Dr. Christ-Janer said, two performances would probably be scheduled. Committee Needed In order to book top artists, Dr. Christ-Janer suggested a commit tee be established of experts in the cultural field to bring to the campus “the best for the least money.” He listed possible performers arid prices including -the Boston Symphony Orchestra and other similar orchestras, $4000; Victor Borge, $1500; Alistaire Cooke, $1000; Helen Hayes, Catherine Cornell, Raymond Massey, $l5OO to $2000; Burl Ives, $2000; Jascha Heifetz, $3000; and various string quartets and dancing - groups, $l5OO to. $2OOO.

The new amendments will now follow the same adoption proce dure—that of approval by a ma jority at two consecutive meet ings and a two-thirds majority at the third meeting, j Joseph Eberly, chairman of the Court Revision Committee, said [that the new system would have 'appellate jurisdiction over Cabi jnet legislation and electoral pro cedure after the cases have gone to the appropr-ate regulatory ■ body. The Court membership in the revised system calls for 31 seats. This includes the chairmen of the Association of Independent Men Judicial Board of Review, Inter fraternity Council Board of Con trol, Tribunal, Women's Student Government Association Judicial, [Freshman Regulations Board, and [Traffic Court; secretary of Tri bunal and the 24 members of ■Cabinet. 'Group Informed' Eberly tabbed the new Court membership as the "group of best informed students with the least amount of power.” The main points of the commit tee’s recommendations arc that: , 1. Each side involved in an electoral case will be allowed four pre-emptory challenges of mem bers of the court.’ 2. The chairman of the court will be elected by the court from its own membership before each case. 3. All voting will be conducted by secret ballot. The Majority de cision prevails. 4. The Supreme Court execu tive committee will decide whe ther or not the court will hear any case. The executive commit tee will include six court mem bers three from the judicial groups and three from Cabinet— to be selected by the chairmen of Tribunal and Judicial and the All- University president. A two thirds negative vote will be ne cessary to refuse any case bear ing. 5. Trial procedure will be es tablished by the court. 6. All decisions are to be ren dered within one week. Challenge Granted Eberly said that four pre-emp [tory challenges of court members would be granted to the defense so to assure “absolute impartial ity where there could be prede termined bias.” All members, except the chair men, are voting members, he said. Although, in the case of a tie, the chairman would vote also. Eberly referred to the Supreme Court revision as “the most mon strous compromise I’ve ever been involved in.” Frosh Foiled By Bunkbed Students making their nest on the top bunkbed should beware of the fate that may await them if they aren’t careful when turn ing over. Joseph Onufer, freshman in electrical engineering, broke his arm late yesterday afternoon when he accidentally fell out of his top bunk in the Nittany dormi tories. He was taken to the Infirmary by the Campus Patrol and then taken to Centre County Hospital for further treatment. Onufer was resting on his back after a ‘hard day of studies” when he decided to change position. He turned to a side, slightly too far, suffering the broken arm.
