By NICKI WOLFORD
The Association of Indepen
dent Men Board of Governors
last night voted against ap
proval of the proposed AIM-
Leonides merger and sent it to
a committee for study.
Only four of the 34 member
board voted to approve the mer
ger._ '
Leonides approved the merger
Monday night by a vote of 17
to 6.
In proposing the motion for
merger approval, parliamen
tarian Carl Smith said lack of
communication between the
groups was the obvious reason
for the merger.
As an example of this poor
communication, he cited the an-

ly to Hear Report
s Officers Bill
By CAROL BLAKESLEE
The assembly will also hear the
first reading of the proposed
amendment to the SGA constitu
tion which asks that the SGA I
President chair the Assembly in-i
stead of the vice president.
For the recommendation to
become an amendment it must
be passed at three Assembly
meetings. The first two read
ings must be passed by a ma
' jority vote and the third by a
two-thirds majority vote.
Jean Van Tassel, chairman of
the Reorganization Committee,
;will present the recommendation
(concerning class officers to the
Assembly.
I Miss VanTa3sers committee was
(asked at last week's Assembly
;meeting to further study a bill
introduced by Campus party for
!an amendment to the constitu
lion
The original bill suggested
that a president, vice president
and a treasurer be elected by
Assembly provided for his class;
each class: that each class presi
dent hold one of the seats on
and that each vice president be
the president's official alter
nate assemblyman.
Miss Van Tassel's committee will
suggest that each class advisory
board draw up a list of students
qualified to hold the vice presi
dential position. The class mem
bers who sit on Assembly would
then elect a class vice president
from the students on the list.
Each class president's appoint
ment of a secretary-treasurer
would be subject to the approval,
of his advisory board.
In this way, Miss Van Tassel
said, "a type of check-and- bal
ance system would be set up."
In other business, the assembly
will hear reports from the Pep
Club and the School Spirit work
shop of the 1959 Student Encamp
ment. Both will be given to Lan
ney Dey,. senior in business ad
ministration from Camden, Ohio.
No Student Tickets

All student tickets have been
distributed for the concert by
Leonard Rose, cellist, and Leon
Fleisher, pianist.
Less than 45 non-student tickets
remain on sale at the Hetzel
Union desk.
The Artists Series program is to
be held at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in
Schwab Auditorium. Fleisher and
Rose will perform works by Bach,
Brahms and Beethoven.

Banquet. He said not one pro

He said many of the groups'
Joint activities were carried out
by AIM alone.
Philip Haines, president of
the Town Independent Men
Council, speaking against the
merger, said "We are a little
premature in trying to make a
decision since only 5 or 6 mem
ber of the board have ever
even sat in on a Leonides meet

Haines said he wanted definite
proposals about how the new or

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1959
Strike Injunction
Remains Unsettled
World at a Cc:nee ... Page Four
PITTSBURGH (/P) A U.S. district judge ordered the record 99-day steel strike halted
temporarily yesterday.
But the strike rolled on as an appellate judge delayed execution of the Taft-Hartley
edict. A stay of the order was granted until this morning.
That meant no reopening of mills and pickets continued on duty. He said the Taft
,Hartley injunction would not be
vine effective if the union asks a
'ull 3-membei third Circuit Couit
ianel in Philadelphia for a fur
.her stay pending formal hear
ng of the union's appeal.

ment, "just imagine what it would;
be like if women sat on the
board."
He said AIM members wouldl
not be interested in hearing about
"housemothers teas and things."
Frank Pearson, AIM vice
president, said the merger
would solve the problem which
will arise with the new com
munity living program.
Stafford Friday proposed a sub
stitute motion which would study
the merger and bring back re
ports both to AIM and Leonides.
This motion was endorsed by the
board.
After endorsing the substitute
motion, Smith said, "Two inde-1
pendent organizations are worth
less. I only hope this committee
will bring back to us the pur
poses of the merger. We just
can't pass it by."
