kind offered by any university
in the country.

neer of the Pittsburgh Consolida
tion Coal Company, and head of

ber of scholarships now available
in the field.
Only Course in Country
It will, also help increase in
terest in future opportunities for
fuel engineers, he said.
Since the University’s course
is the only one in the country,
Payne said, it is important that
freshman enrollment be main
tained at a relatively high level.

This can be done only by in
creasing financial aid and stres
sing the opportunities available
in the field to promising high
school seniors.

LA Raises Graduation Requirements
The College of the Liberal)
Arts faculty yesterday set the
minimum All-University av
erage for graduation from the
college at 2.0 in an effort to
raise the academic standards
of students.
Previously a student • needed
only 132 credits and 132 grade
points to graduate.
The faculty set the standards to
'comply with a University Senate
scholastic standards report. All
colleges will use this system for
a trial period of one year, ac
cording to Richard C. Maloney,
assistant dean.
620 Students Dropped
Maloney told the faculty that
620 students were dropped from
the University last year. He said
he hoped the new system will
raise the academic standards of
the students.
The new system, as passed by
the Senate, means that a student
must have an average of 1.4 by
the end of the second semester;
1.6 by the fourth; 1.8 by the sixth;
and 2.0 by the eighth.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
By LYNN WARD
[y held in the spring, was rescheduled for October 8 through
Interfratemity Council weekend and Spring Week.
Alpha Phi Omega, national ser
vice fraternity, sponsors the con
test as a money making project.
The 1957 APhiO Ugly Man com
mittee recommended the change
because in the fall “there is not
so much going on and organiza
tions have more time for the con
test and probably more money.”
Provision Not Passed
One provision in the new con
test rules, allowing motor vehi
cles in the parade, was not ap
j proved by the subcommittee.
However further consideration
will be given to it. The provision
would allow two vehicles to be
used by each marching unit,
j With new groups now included,
in the contest five fraternities and
five independent groups will be
in the finals. Location of the fin
als has been changed from the
Hetzel Union ballroom to Schwab
Auditorium to provide for a
greater crowd of spectators. A
ilO-eent admission charge will be
[made to cover janitorial costs in
| the auditorium.
I Separate Trophies Included
The Ugly Man Key will be pre
sented to the overall winner of
the contest; his sponsoring organ
ization will receive a 32-inch tro
phy. Trophies will be presented
to the first place winners in the
two divisions. Second place win
ners in both divisions will re
ceive engraved plaques.
Groups in each division may
sponsor one Ugly Man entry, who
need not be a graduating senior,
as in previous years. A $2.50 reg
istration fee is required at the
time the entry is made.
Will Judge on 5 Points
Judging for the parade will be !
based on presentation of theme,
group participation, originality, ;
organization and whether or not;
the presentation is in good taste.
This means that groups entering
with girls must be orderly andji
reasonably dressed. !
[longs to the “average conscien
tious student.”
“A class of any size, unless
comprised of selected students,
will have a majority of average
students.” he said.
Faculty Drops Courses
The faculty approved dropping
several courses in the School of
Journalism. They are Journalism
2. Principles of Journalism, and
Journalism 35, Sports Writing.
Several other courses were added
and there were several curricular
changes.
The faculty tabled a motion to
support in principle a minority
report of a Senate committee on
reorganization to reduce the size
of the University Senate.
The motion was presented in
the form of a report by Dr. Leon
S. Roudiez, assistant professor of
romance languages.
The reduction proposal would
make the Senate more represen
tative, according to Dr. Roudiez.
It would make Senate posts avail
able only to those members of the
faculty having academic rank.
This would not necessarily in
clude department heads.
Members Dissent
It was on this point that many
of the faculty members dissented,
saying that by not having all of
the departments represented, the

New York harbor handles about

Senate would not be truly demo
cratic.
Dr. Roudiez countered this by
saying that the Senate should not
merely be “a congress of depart
ments” but should instead be
representative of all viewpoints
within the college.
However, the faculty did ap
prove three nominations to fill
the senate post of Dr. Kent For
ster, professor of European his
tory, who is on leave.
Those nominated are:
Dr. Dine Fife, assistant profes
sor of speech; Dr. Malcolm Fr
