'Vote' Stand
Unchanged
By Cabinet
The Student Government
Association Cabinet restated
last night that it favored ap
pointment of subd}dinate class
officers by respective class ad
visory boards.
The recommendation was in re
lation to a proposed amendment
to the SGA Constitution which
states that class presidents, vice,
presidents and treasurers be
elected by the members of each
class; that each class president
hold one of the Assembly seats
provided for in the constitution;
and that each vice president shall
be the president's official alter
nate on Assembly.
Cabinet's action came after a
report by Donald Clagett, chair
man of the Standing Committee
on Student Legislation, on that
committee's Sunday night meet
ing where the bill was discussed.
In other business, Cabinet dis
cussed a report of the Student
Encampment Workshop on the
Effects of University Expansion
on the Student Body.
Cabinet decided it would urge
the SGA Assembly to delete a sec
tion of the report that states: "The
University should adopt a quar
ter system of scheduling the aca
demic year."
Cabinet felt the recommenda
tion was unnecessary since the
University has made an extensive
study into the problem and is
considering the trisemester sys
tem of scheduling instead.
Cabinet also urged deletion of
a recommendation which would
provide for facilities in the Hetzel
Union Building for the Inter-Col
lege Council Board. ICCB Presi
dent David Epstein said his or
ganization had all its needed fa
cilities and required no more.
lop' Seniors Involved
Regulations on 'soo' Courses Conflict
By NICKI WOLFORD
The University has three
conflicting rules on whether or
not "top notch" senior students
can take 500 courses for credit,
Arthur D. Brickman, chairman
of the Senate Committee on
Academic Standards, said.
Harold K. Schilling, dean of the
Graduate School, sent a letter to
the Senate last February point
ing out contradictions in the rules
listed in three publications. The
Senate referred the problem to the
standards committee.
Brickman said the commit

president of

king life last night at -the IFC
pha.
Phi Kappa Sigma, led the'
asons why he thought deferred
rushing should be dropped.
According to Alaxi, most fra
ternities have not experienced a
decrease in expenses under the
plan; the first semester freshman
averages have not shown appre
ciable improvement; and there
has been increased isolation of
freshmen from the fraternity sys
tem.
' The deferred rushing has hurt
fraternities by depleting their
ranks while the overall size of
the male student population has
increased, he said. He stated
that in the face of these prob
lems the fraternity system has "
become "complacent."
David Espenshade, president of
Delta Tau Delta, supporting
Alaxi's statements, reported that
last Wednesday the rushing chair
men's workshop had voted in fa
vor of throwing out deferred
rushing by a 29 to 3 straw vote.
Don Orr, IFC rushing chairman,
pointed out that three years had
been spent in drawing up the
deferred rushing plan and that it
was still in the experimental.
stage. He suggested that the plan,
be retained with modifications to
the pledging dates.
Wilmer Wise, assistant to the
dean of men for fraternity af
fairs, urged that the council
should not hastily vote out the
plan without - consulting the
other individual members of
the fraternity houses.
The discussion was tabled un
til the next meeting.
Gary Gentzler, IFC president,
announced the selection of Rich
ard W. Moyer as Junior Interfra
ternity Council president. The
first meeting of the Jr. IFC will
be held Monday evening for the
election of a vice president and
secretary-treasurer.
Robert Parsky, IFC Board of
Control chairman, announced that
sometime Sunday morning, nine
trophys were stolen from Tau
Kappa Epsilon. The trophies were
valued at more than $5OO, Accord

the theft is now being conducted.

It's a shame that the person most responsible for Penn State's 20-9 win over Illinois in

We're referring to that infamous Cleveland sportscaster who sputtered forth "them

Kaiser Negotiates
Separate Agreement
PITTSBURGH (in—Kaiser Steel Corp. abandoned the
industry's entrenched bargaining position yesterday in the
record 104-day steel strike and negotiated a separate agree
ment with the United Steelworkers.
It was the first break in the heretofore solid industry
front. Kaiser is the nation's ninth'
largest steel producer.
The agreement was reached in
Washington during meetings of
Kaiser officials and USW leaders.
David 5. McDonald, union pres
ident, said the settlement was on
the basis of a 20-month contract
providing improved wages and
insurance and pension benefits.
McDonald praised the firm's
board chairman, Edgar F. Kai
ser, as demonstrating "real en
lightened leadership."
The California-based company
had been among a group of the
,12 largest steel producers nego
tiations for all 96 strike-idled
firms.
While Kaiser conferred with
USW President David J. Mc-
Donald, union committees met
with some of the other com
panies in Pittsburgh and other
sections of the country.
