was sent bac
last night by
Cabinet.
Cabinet appro ed on first read
ing the report if Ronald Skiers,
judicial reorgan, zation committee
chairman, but not before asking
reconsideration of a section on an
Organizational Board of Contiol
and also on parts dealing with
individual board membership.
Cabinet questioned what reg
ulatory and disciplinary powers
would be included in an Organ
izational Board of Control.
According to the proposed judi
cial setup, such a board would
have "regulatory and disciplinary
powers over all student , groups
chartered by the Senate Commit
tee on Student Affairs excepting
social fraternities and sororities."
Robert Franklin, editor of The
Daily Collegian, questioned how
the board would have control
over such. groups as student coun
cils, Association of Independent
Men, The Daily Collegian and
WDFM.-
Siders said that all such groups
would come under the board's
control but he could see very
few occasions that would ever
arise to warrant any action.
Edward Frymoyer, AIM presi
dent,- said no• such occasions are
apparent now but there may be
some in the future.
Frymoyer objected to stipula
tion that the board would legis
late its own regulations.
"In previous action, we have
forbidden the SGA assembly
from legislating anything with
in the Jurisdiction of another
organization." he said. "But if
we passed this (concerning the
organization board) we would
be allowing a board to do some
thing we forbid the assembly."
Siders cited the example that
all organizations being responsible
for their debts would be one area
of jurisdiction of the organization
board.
As a res,ult of the many ques
tions raised concerning the board,
All-University President Jay Feld
stein referred the entire section
back to committee.
Cabinet became involved iri

On Educatio and Athletics
One of the ajor criticisms of
the University' athletic program
in the past fe years has con
cerned the lag of expansion of
athletic faciliti for the rapidly-
growing studen population.
The general reeling is that the
present faciliti s are insufficient
not only for i tercollegiate and
intramural athl • tics but also for
"free time" sp • its activities.
According t• Athletic Direc
tor Ernest B. McCoy, this prob
lem =will soon; be solved. For
future plans call for the addi

the campus. This move is expect
ed to be completed by the end of
next summer.
Among the more immediate
projects is the construction of
two wings onto Recreation Hall
and the partial reconstruction of
the present gymnasium.
"We already have our re
quests before the General State
Authority on the two new
buildings," McCoy said "and we
hope for approval within a
year."
McCoy added that state funds
are available because the build

Campus Station Said
Forgotten for Nothing
Wilbur Lewellen, WDFM station manager, said yesterday
that the University's consideration of contractual agreements
with WMAJ would be a case of giving up the idea of ever
having a campus AM station in exchange for essentially
nothing.
He said, "From whatl have - geen of the WMAJ proposals,
they contain nothing that we at
WDFM do not already have or
could not easily provide."
Mickey Bergstein, WMAJ sta
tion manager, told a Collegian
reporter, yesterday that the plan
being considered under a long
term agreement would not pro
-1 vide for more weekday student
broadcasting over WMAJ. It may
include some extra hours on
weekends and the possibility of
including more students in the
downtown setup, he added.
Under the present agreement,
WDFM broadcasts two hours a
night over WMAJ. Additional
time is given to special events.

Student government reor
ganization plan was approved
last night but will go before
the students in a referendum
in the April elections.
A petition signed by 617 stu
dents, or 5.2 per cent of the en
tire student body, was presented
to All-University Cabinet by Rob
ert Laßar, president of Agricul
ture Student Council. The petition
was upheld by 23 Cabinet mem
bers, one member abstaining dur
ing a 5-hour meeting.
The petition read:
"Having considered properly
the student government reorgan
ization plan we feel that a pro
gram so important and complex
should be favored by the student
body before it is instituted by
Cabinet. We therefore petition
that in order to ascertain , feel
ings on this important matter,
the plan be put to the popular
vote of the entire student body."
James Holt, senior in agron
omy from Philadelphia, speak
ing for the petition, said that
while the petition did not re
quire Cabinet to submit the
plan to a referendum, it urged
Cabinet to give the student
body a chance to vote on the
government they would be
working with.
The petition was circulated for
48 hours, according to Holt, and
was given to students who said
they had a good idea of the re
organization plan.
Daniel Thalimer, chairman of
the reorganization committee,
(urged Cabinet members to place
the plan on the ballots in this
spring's elections. Thalimer said
"Cabinet cannot turn down the
request of the student body."
Thalimer explained further
that a ruling by Cabinet in fa
vor of the referendum does not
stop any action as far as the
approval of the entire reorgan
ization plan by Cabinet goes.
By the time it is submitted to
the student - body the cant' titu
tion will be complete.
All-University President Jay
Feldstein also spoke in favor of
a referendum. Feldstein said,
"This issue will get students in
terested in the spring elections
and the voting percentage will be
higher." -
In a referendum, 20 per cent of

purchase some equipment used
in the new broadcasting setup,
such as recording machines and
typewriters, to be used wherever
the University sees fit. Students
would have access to additional
space the station expects to ob
tain soon, he said.
Concerning allotting more
time to student programs, Berg--
stein said: "I think the present
14 hours a week is more than
enough for strictly educational
programming."
He included in this such pro
grams as panels, discussions and
reporting of campus events.
Asked whether he thought
WMAJ could fulfill the instruc
