A senior man was dismissed
from the University and a senior
coed received office probation and
an 8-week strict campus, result
ing from an all-night party before
Christmas at the male student’s
town apartment.
Brought before the Senate sub
committee on discipline yesterday
afternon, the coed was charged
with going to a male student’s
apartment without permission and
remaining out of the residence
hall past 1 a.m.
The male student was on dis
ciplinary probation at the time of
the incident, according to Asso
ciate Dean of Men Harold W. Per
kins. He will be allowed to finish
the semester before his dismissal.
Perkins said the party was ap
parently a "spontaneous gather
ing’’ including town students and
two out-of-town couples, one
married and one engaged.
He said the coed did not realize
how late it was until she was un
able to get back to the residence
hall on time and decided to risk
staying out all night.
“By doing this,” Perkins said,
‘‘she compounded the situation.”
Perkins said her absence might
never have been noticed, but she
received a long distance phone
call and was not found in her
room.
No Relief in Sight
From Cold Wave
A stationary high pressure area
in central Canada means "no re
lief in sight” from the present
sub-freezing temperatures in this
area. Cold northwesterly winds
will continue to bring arctic air
and freezing temperatures today
and tomorrow.
It will be partly cloudy and
windy today, tonight and Sunday
with a high of 25 and a low of 12
tonight. Monday will see a con
tinuation of the fair and cold

The Larry Sharp committee,
headed by Steve Garban, had
hoped to obtain the Kingston Trio
for a concert during the special
week. The trio would have been
available for the originally plan
ned week in March.
Feldstein said the Sharp Week
may be planned at a time when
the trio can be obtained if the
present date cannot be had.
Feldstein said that no defi
nite alternative plans have
been made, but several have
been considered.
If a new date would have to be
chosen, Feldstein said, one con
sideration is trying to work the
Sharp Week in with a concert
by the Four Freshmen on Feb. 14.
The concert will be sponsored by
the Jazz Club.
In addition to the concert,
other tentative plans have been
started for a Student Night, on
which collections would be
made in residence halls, frater
nities and downtown; a Penny
a-Minule Date-Night, on which
all women students would be
given special 11 o'clocks and
be asked to pay a penny for
each minute after 10 p.m. they
remained out, and a Coffee
Day, on which proceeds from
coffee sales in downtown restau
rants would go to the fund.
In other business at Thursday’s
meeting, Cabinet chose a design
for a new bulletin board on the
Mall. The design, chosen from
four preliminary designs, was
made by Francis Ventre, senior
in architecture from Old Forge,
who presented the drawings to
Cabinet.
The drawing will be presented
to the Physical Plant and if they
are approved, the bulletin board
will be built by students.
Cabinet also made two appoint
ments: Ronald Siders, judicial re
organization committee chairman,
and Jane Kleinfeld and Donald
Claggett, Freshman Customs
Board co-chairmen for 1959.

Commencement Speaker
IFC to Discuss
Diploma Delay
For 7 Debtors 1
The Interfraternity Council will
hear at its Monday meeting a
report on the controversial prob
lem of a plan to withhold diplo
mas of graduating seniors if they
owe debts to individual fraterni
ties.
The IFC will hold a dinner
meeting at 5:45 p.m. at Delta Chi.
Edward Hintz, IFC president,
has appointed a five-man commit
tee, chaired by Hart Langer, pres
ident of Sigma Chi. Others named
to the committee were Charles
Carlson, David Pratt, Robert
Echols and Challen Bonar.
The group will meet sometime
over the weekend to discuss the
problem and will then present a
recommendation of action to the
IFC Monday night.
At the last IFC meeting, the
problem of fraternity members
leaving debts to fraternities when
they graduate was discussed and
considerable pro and con opinion
was voiced on the plan to with
hold diplomas.
If the IFC passes a recommen
dation favoring- the withholding
of diplomas to those students in
debt, its recommendation would
be sent to a University committee
for final action.
In other business, the presi
dent’s manual, describing all In
terfraternity Council and Univer
sity regulations pertaining to the
fraternity system, will be distrib
uted to the presidents.
The manual was compiled prior
to Christmas upon the recommen
dation of the IFC and was assem
bled by an IFC committee and
members of the dean of men’s
office staff. The manual was
placed in a loose leaf binder so
it may be added to at a later date
if necessary.

Charlie Speidel has indicated he
will go along with the lineup

to one possible change. That

Late Library Hours
Unlikely for Exams
Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, said yesterday
it looks as if the library closing hours will not be extended
during final examinations as has been requested by All-
University Cabinet.
However, he said the later hours have not been ruled out
definitely. i
“It is the feeling of most of our.
staff,” McComb said, “that it isn’t'
really an essential service sincej
only about 250 students can be|
accommodated.” j
There was similar feeling j
among a few members of Cabi
net at Thursday's meeting, but
ihe rest of the members felt
that although only 250 could be
accommodated it would help al
leviate the problem.
Cabinet members also sug-!
gested extended closing hours for
classrooms for study use. The
classrooms usually close at 10 p.m.
as does the library.
If the library hours were ex
tended, McComb said, only the
first floor would be open. This
would mean that the reserve book

no reference books could be ob

hours.
Personnel is one of the big
problems in extending the lime,
he added, and there are only a
few that might help.
Concerning recent complaints of
noise in the library, All-Univer

he contacted Alpha Phi Omega
