011 r Bugg VOL. 59. No. 110 STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1959 FIVE CENTS Cab to Ask Officials To Clarify AM Edtorial on Page 4 All-University Cabinet has unanimously called for a "clarification" of the 1958 sen ior class gift situation. Cabinet on Thursday approved a motion to ask the appropriate officials to "clarify the modifica tion' of the gift, which last year's senior class voted for facilities for a campus AM radio station. The Board of Trustees has ruled that if "contractual facili ties' with comniercial AM radio stations can be used satisfactorily, the gift will not go to build new AM facilities but for other mass communications media work. The Cabinet motion was intro duced by Edward Frymoyer, president of the Association of Independent Men, who said he was making it on behalf of the Class of 1958, the present stu dent body and WDFM. In other business, Cabinet unan imously approved the bylaws to the reorganization constitution after the first of two necessary readings. These bylaws, along with the article on judicial reorganization, will become part of the constitu tion if they are approved again on April 2. The constitution will require no further approval since it has been approved three con secutive times by a two-thirds vote of Cabinet members. Provisions for a Rules Com mittee consisting of seven mem bers elected each semester by assembly members have been set forth in the bylaws. The committee will elect a chair man from its membership. Each political party must have at least one member sitting on this committee. The committee will make all appointments to legislative com mittees, including chairmen. It will prepare the agenda for the assembly meetings, make any special rules of procedure for the assembly, determine the validity of alternates to the assembly, and schedule and determine the for mat for all committee reports. All action of the committee will be subject to the approval of the assembly.

New Deferred Rush Program Comes to a Close Tomorrow The seven - week deferred rushing program comes to a close ' tomorrow. The Interfraternity Council has set tomorrow as the offi cial pledging date at which time second semester freshmen may formally begin to pledge one of the 54 fraternities. The deferred rushing system was instituted last spring by the IFC and first semester freshmen were not permitted to rush fra ternities during the fall semester. Only freshmen with 2.2 All-Uni versity averages may accept a bid to pledge. Fraternities were able to ex Talltgiatt 'ta -. + : By BILL JAFFE Lawrence also placed the blame for the defeat of his state sales tax measure Thurs day on a "strong saloon and automobile lobby" in a question and answer period following his speech. He said the 18 Dem ocrats who bolt e d the party in the vote were under heavy pressure from the two lobbys. "There is no question in my mind that politics and govern ment not only mix, but they are , inseparably bound together by the free expression of the will of a free people," Lawrence said) "We need this interplay of con- 1 cerns with politics," he said. We must remove the stigma from the word "politics" be cause in reality it is an honor able word, Lawrence said. "If we are to have more effective and economical government, we must have wiser political ac tion and more effective politics in government," he said. The stigma of politics can be (Continued on page five) tend bids to freshmen anytime during the seven week rush period but freshmen could not officially accept or sign pledg ing cards. A series of four rush ing open houses were held dur ing the fall semester to acquaint freshmen with the fraternities. In a survey conducted among 13 fraternities by The Daily Col legian, nine fraternities said they did not like the deferred rushing program while four fraternity rushing chairmen favored the new plan. "The program needs lots of im provement, such as clarifying many rules," one fraternity rush ing chairman said, "but generally it was a good idea."

Three fraternity rush chairmen commented that they didn't think the system saved the fraternities any money, which was one of the purposes for instituting it. An other common complaint was that too much high pressuring and salesmanship of the rushees was involved.
