Today's Forecast! Cloudy and Mild VOL. 58. No. 100 Cabinet to Consider Trustees Meetings, 'Gentleman's Code' A motion seeking open Board of Trustees meetings, tabled at last week’s meeting, will face All-University Cabinet again tonight. Cabinet will meet at 7 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union. The request to open the Trustees meetings was brought up last week by Carroll McDonnell, president of the Chemistry andj Physics Student Council, who; said the meetings should be opened because the University is a state institution.,/ Last week’s postponement was] asked by Thomas Hollander, sen-j ior class, president, who called at tention to the “taint” which he said could be inferred by Cabi net's making such a request. Hollander urged Cabinet to try to discover why the meetings are [closed before saying that they [should be opened. The AU-Universily Elections Committee’s "gentleman's code" recommendation also will be up for approval at tonight's meet ing. The new code, if approved, would eliminate penalties for minor infractions of the Elec . lions Code, formerly penalized by vote docking and fines, and provide a penally—disqualifica tion of candidates for major code infractions only. The “gentleman’s code” recom mendation, approved by Elections Committee last week, would de crease the committee’s control over politics and leave much of the responsibility of upholding the Elections Code with the par ties themselves. The recommendation would also lake away Elections Com mittee's power to judge cases of code violations. The new pro posal. provides that if the Com mittee decides a violation of ihe code has been committed, the case will be taken before Cabi net. ‘ 3 Pledges Ruled Off AIM Board Related Article on Page 2 Three seals on the Association! of Independent Men Board of Governors were declared vacant last night by AlMrPresident John Morgan because their holders are fraternity social pledges. Morgan ruled that social pledg es are not truly independents and therefore should not be allowed to sit on the board. The ruling was upheld and clarified by the AIM judicial Board of Review following last night’s Board of Governors meeting. No mention of the question was made at the board meeting, at which preliminary nominations for AIM officers were made. In their interpretation of the ruling the judicial board de clared: “Any man who is a pledge reg istered with the dean of men’s office to a fraternity has affiliated himself with a fraternity and therefore is not an independent as defined in Article I of the AIM Constitution. ‘Therefore, such a person is not eligible for participation in, nor membership on, independent governing bodies such as the Board of Governors, area councils or floor councils. “Also, such a person is ineligi ble to vote for AIM representa tives.’’ The ruling was based on the part of the AIM Constitution which says, “All undergraduate male students enrolled in the Pennsylvania State University who have no affiliation with a recognized social fraternity shall be known as independent men.” -i» C- ; ___ j . —Daily Colleyimn photo by John Zcrby NAME-THAT CELEBRATION—RonaId DiFelice, sophomore in counseling from Woodlyn, drops a suggestion for the Spring Week theme in a box at the Hetzel Union desk.

Lion Expects Mild Weather The Nittany Lion has again left campus. When last seen he was heading for the woods in search of his woodland friend, the groundhog. Enraged over literally being caught short—in her raudas and short sleeve shirt, the Lion headed to his mountain hide away and the warm glow of the fire. “When I get my hands on that groundhog I’ll give him the back of my paw,” he mumbled. “Here it is almost five weeks after he saw his shadow and it will be a cloudy and mild day with a high] of 38-43.” I Army Hunting Explorer II received from Explorer 11, and Eisenhower dismissed the idea 'that -was questionable.
