Students with automobile per
mits will be allowed to park in

changed: no daylight parking will

Diem said the night-time re
laxation of rules was to permit

acuity-Trustee Meeting
Sellout Crowd Expected for Seminar
Tickets for the 1959 Faculty-
Trustee Symposium which
will open at 3:30 this after
noon have been sold out.
Dr. Roy C. Buck, co-chairman
of the arrangement committee,
said 475 tickets were sold and the
sale was closed, although there
were orders for more.
Seventeen University trustees
are expected to attend but a few
more may come, according to
Harriett Nesbitt, co-chairman.
The symposium is sponsored by
the University chapter of the
American Association of Univer
sity Professors, and will take the
place of the annual Faculty-Trus
tee Dinner.
‘The attendance at the sympo
sium will be the largest since the
mendations.
The Encampment reunion
would be for students who at
tended the 1959 Encampment.
Its purpose would be to review
the progress of workshop re
ports, discuss new factors and
recommendations and to review
in general the accomplishments
and objectives of Encampment.
Jaffe will also recommend that
students applying for noil-ap
pointed positions to Encampment
should be interviewed by the En
campment committee and work
shop chairmen, instead of by the
Cabinet Personnel Interviewing
Committee.
Other recommendations in
! ciude:
• Faculty and administration
member's selected for Encamp
ment should be rotated to give
all members the chance to attend.
• Participants should be more
fully.informed of workshop top
ics either by their chairmen or
through their own research, so
they can discuss them more ob
jectively and thoroughly.
• The 1960 Encampment chair
men and business manager should
be appointed by. April 1 so the
jworkshop chairman can be ap
-1 pointed earlier than in the past.
This would allow more time for
research and planning.
The SGA Assembly will also
bear a report from Peter Luckie,
chairman of the Rules Committee.
He will ask the Assembly to ap
prove two procedural rules.
First, that speakers from the
gallery must be recognized by
an Assembly member; second,
that the method of filling va
cancies be altered to provide
for the appointment of a fresh
man class president.
The SGA Constitution now|
states that a class president must
make appointments to fill vacan
cies. This, however, does not take
into account the possibile vacancy
in a presidential post, which is
now the situation in the fresh
man class.
The Assembly will also hear
reports from Larry Byers on the
Executive 'Cabinet, from Alan
> Elms on library expansion, from
. Jay Hawley on the Mall bulletin
,iboard, and from Carmella La
[jSpada on UN weekend, Oct. 23
1 and 24.

On
to Hold Vote
Honor System
Students in the College of Mineral Industries will be
voting in the near future on the adoption of an academic
honor system.
The election was disclosed by James Reed, chairman of
the Committee for Academic Honesty, at a meeting of the
Mineral Industries Student Coun
cil Tuesday night.
According to the charter for the
program, which has been* ap
proved by the college, "the hon
or system shall be used in all
exams in courses offered primar
ily for Mineral Industries upper
classmen which are designated by
the dean as honor courses.”
Students in these honor
courses will participate in the
system by signing an honor roll
obligating them to the provi
sions of the charter.
The honor system can be put!
into effect curriculum-by-curri-!
culum only after 85 per cent of
the upperclassmen enrolled in
that particular curriculum ap
prove it in an election.
Dr. B. F. Howell Jr., professor
of geo-physics and advisor to the
council, stated that voting in the
geo-physics and geo-chemistry
departments will begin ' next

registration, it constituted a vio
lation of the semi-strict silence
period.
The suspension means that
Kappa Kappa Gamma may no
.longer rush this semester, nor
may it pledge any new girls dur
ing this time. The penalty will
not apply next semester during
formal rush. A letter will be
sent to the chapter’s national
headquarters explaining the
offense.
Marjorie Miller, president of
Kappa Kappa Gamma, said tie
rushee was definitely not invited
to, nor did she attend, a party
following the initiation of the
spring pledge class.
The violation was reported to
Panhel within 48- hours, the
rushee’s hostess was called Mon
day and the report was verified
by • the sorority president. The
Panhel judicial committee met
yesterday afternoon ami in a
unanimous decision, with the Pan
hel president and advisor abstain
ing, voted to suspend rushing
privileges for one semester.
The Panhel president and ad
visor abstained because they
knew that Kappa Kappa Gam
ma was the sorority involved.
The name of the sorority was
not revealed to the other mem
bers of the committee.
In commenting on the incident
Carol Dominick, Panhel president,
warned that all sororities are
cautioned in the future to adhere
to the rushing code.
Miss Miller said yesterday that
the offense was not committed
jinlentionally and occurred be
cause of a misunderstanding of
j the rushing regulations.
| The judicial committee consists
jof Miss Dominick; vice presidents,
jCarol Bradic and Wendy Parr;
|treasurer, Gretchen Van Kirk;
l secretaries, Bai-bara Curion and
jCynthia Talbert; a "stray Greek,’’
lAnn Dunkle; rushing chairman,
| Sue Chapman; and Panhel ed
ivisor, Mrs. Norma Mountan.
By CAROL du CHACEK
week, as three of the members of
the department have shown a de
sire for the program. He expressed
a belief that “if the system is
passed in one curriculum, it will
probably pass quickly in others.’’
In the event of classes with
considerably small enrollment,
it is possible that the vote must
be unanimous before an honor
system will be used in the
course.
President John Bonesteil urged
members of the committee to
speak to department heads and
| instructors, and also try to ex
i plain the system to students in
| class.

ed chairman of the Mineral In
dustries Open House to be held
for all prospective freshmen on

nated for freshmen elections for
