JUL The three were fined WS each THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA May Finance Political Parties By PAT EVANS Collegian Personnel Director (Fourth of a Series) from the Student Encampment Workshop on Present ProV the parties would operate on funds provided by Cabinet and 'dministered by the All-Univer aty Elections Committee. The recommendation and oth rs made by the workshop will be aken before Cabinet this fall. If the recommendation gains Cabinet's approval, the student parties no longer will collect and handle their own funds. In the past, Elections Commit tee has set a limit on the amounts which may be spent by a party during campaigning for the fall and spring' elections. The party treasurers have collected the mon ey by assessing the party candi dates, the party officers and corn inittee members. The parties often have been ac cused of spending more than the amount allowed in the Elections Code and "doctoring" the finan cial statements to 'conceal the overspending. Several years ago, a party ran up an illegal $155 debt at a down-, town printing company. The par ty officials responsible had been graduated before the debt was discovered. It has not yet been paid. The workshop recommendation would leave to the parties decis ions on how to spend the money. But the actual cash would be kept in the Associated Student Activities Office, and bills would be paid by the ASA. Under another Encampment recommendation the delinquent $155 debt would be paid by Cabi net. The workshop on student gov- 1 ernment problems also discussed decentralized voting. With this system, voting machines would ) be placed in scattered locations during campus elections. Students would vote at the polli nearest their residence hall, fra ternity or rooming house. In past elections all the voting machines have been in the card room of the Hetzel Union Building. The workshop asked that Cab inet appoint a committee to study the feasibility of putting a de centralized voting program into effect. One section of the workshop's report was devoted to com;•.nsa tions. money paid to student& for their positions in student activi ties. The -workshop recommended that all compensations for Cabi net -positions be abolished and a more adequate expense account system be provided for Cabinet members. It also asked that the-present amount allotted for compensa tions be used for grants-in-aid for students unable to hold elect ed or Cabinet-appointed positions without such assistance. The workshop discu_tepd the problem of student activities con (Continued on page eight) and costs totaling 413.50 by Jus tice of the Peace Guy G. Mills after being found guilty of dis orderly conduct charges. The hearing was held May 31. The two seniors. Pritchard and Berry. may apply to the Senate Sub-Committee on or after May 1, 1959. The commit tee will consider evidence of maturity and responsibility as evidence for the awarding of the degrees. The riot started 'with the show ing of a midnight movie May 29 at the Cathaum Theatre. Two old pictures were shown to the al -1 most entirely male crowd, most of whom were "letting off .steam" from the final examination period. When the-movie was suspended because of disorder in the thea tre, the crowd became wild and was forced to leave by State College police. Damage to .th theatre was limited to a back cur tain which was partly torn down, to parts of the balcony and a clock Noon Hurried Lunches Ronald Williams, senior in civil engineering from Philipsburg, studed part of a ham sandwich into his mouth as he ran out of his 12 o'clock class and onto his 1. "Can't spop mow," he mumbled through the sandwich, "gotta 'wun o'cwock." He isn't typical, of course, of students this year Monday. Williams has classes straight through from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Most students arrange a lunch hour in their day under the new University class schedules which include noon classes for many students This semester for the first time, classes were scheduled for 12 noon and for 7 at night. John E. Miller Jr., schedul ing officer, explained that the new class hours were necessary because of a critical shortage in class room space. Although. the program is still in an experimental stage, the scheduling office feels that it is the best solution for the problem. Most problems that have arisen have been concerned with the scheduling of noon classes, Miller said. The new program called-for a complete revamping of class hours and the time lunch is served in residence halls.. Students were requested not to schedule hoth a 12 o'clock class and an 11 or a 1 o'clock class, Miller said, since that would leave no time for a lunch hour. However, this did occur in a few instances with the result that the student either eats no lunch at all or eats "on the_run" while :going from clan to class, like Ronald Williams. Ronald's habit, however, is not common practice. In general, the program is working out quite satisfactorily, Miller said.. For this future. however. Miller 400 S only a "worsening" in ,present -affairs because of ..the Universites constant ex pension. Conditions may even necessi tate the-scheduling of classes at 7a.m. and at 5 p.m., although of ficials, -and particularly students and faculty, hope another way may be found to alleviate crowd ed conditions, Miller said. and to vending machines located in the lobby. The three students who were apprehended were caught with an earthenware ease taken from the theatre. Berry and Richardson ran whonspotted by police but Pritchard was caught and held. Members of the Alpha Fire Co. were called by police to help disperse the crowd which swelled into College Avenue from ' the theatre. Students were final ly disbanded by-University offi cials from the dean of men's of fice , and state police. . , Injuries in the .fracas were limited to' those caused by flying rocks and stones. Two firemen were hit by the stones and at least two students were reported struck by flying objects. A large. plate glass window of theEtherMeserve store -was shattered by a stray bullet and a fireman's car win dow was smashed and- paint scarred by rocks.

SEPTEMBER 20, 1958 by a group of students who felt a need for an organization to refl. resent Negro students on campus. The primary aim of the club is to "promote and develop social, aca demic and cultural interests of the students at Penn State and also to promote interracial understand ing," President Donald Collier said. Collier, senior in physical education from Philadelphia, said, "This is going to be dif ferent from most other encamp ments, mainly because we do not know yet what we are going to do. The encampment will consist of informal discussions of a tentative program for the club which the executive com mittee will vole on. We do know that we would like to co sponsor activities with other established organizations." AdVisers to the club, the Rev. Preston Williams, assistant uni versity chaplain, and Dr. Monroe Newman, associate professor of economics, will be present. In the past three years, Entre Nous has sponsored several mixers and plans are underway for another one on Friday. The club has held cabin par ties, as well as Christmas and bowling parties. Last year during National Ne gro History Week, the Entre Nous Chorus was formed. Members hope to reorganize it this year. The voting membership is 25, although many more attend the bi-monthly meetings. These meet ings are open to everyone.
