Leonides, AIM Sponsor Dink Debut
By PAT DYER
Every year Leonides opens
a busy schedule of events with
Dink Debut when freshmen
frist appear in their navy blue
dinks and namecards.
In this event, as in many oth
ers, Leonides cooperates with the
Association of Independent Men.
This past October and Mardi
Gras found Leonides sponsoring
several independent booths. Coun
cil members organized their units
and Leonides paid the bills.
'TR e Town Independent Men
and Leonides combined their
bluebook files this year to give
independents a wider variety of
old bluebooks. Next semester
the two organisations will spon•
sor a "Bluebook Dance" for
which admission will be at least
one bluebook for the file.

class president. Twelve Univer
sity and 12 Campus party mem
bers were elected to the Assem
bly. Campus party holds the ma
jority of seats with 24 members
while University party holds 18
seats.
The University party, early in
the semester, approved a plan to
revamp their organization. A gen
eral party clique chairman now
presides while five vice chairmen
work under him. The standing
committees include Records and
Budgets, Planning and Programs,
Public Relations, Campaigning
and Publicity.
The fall elections marked the
first time that vice presidents
and secretary-treasurers were
not elected for the sophomore
and freshman classes.
The Elections Commission was
forced to make some' changes in
its code this fall. Assembly de
feated a proposal by the Com
mission that stated that a person
could not change parties after
registering for one in order to be
a candidate on the other party
ticket.
Another revision of In:: code
stated that in pending cases of
disqualification of a candidate
or party, the cases will be taken
before the Supreme Court in
stead of Assembly.
The Elections Commission ex
amined other means of penaliz
ing parties for code violations.

Coeds May
Now Attend
Indie Parties
Coeds may now attend ap
proved independent parties as
a result of one of the Town
Independent Men Council's
most important actions this
semester.
TlM's two most significant
projects this year have been in
the social line—they also spon
sored the highly successful Las
Vegas Night in December.
The dean of men's office ap
proved the request that certain
downtown independent residences
be allowed to hold coed parties,
on condition that the Muses have
separate lavatory facilities and a
game or party room separate from,
sleeping quarters.
Several houses have been ap
proved. They are inspected by the
TIM Board of Control, which sends
checkers to the houses much in
the same manner as the Interfra-
I ternity Council Board of Control.
Las Vegas Night, held Dec. 12
in the HUB ballroom, gave stu
dents a chance to try their luck
at gambling—with play money.
The evening included such stan
dard games as poker, Black Jack
and roulet; a vaudeville show; a
horse race film which gave the re
sults of bets made earlier in the
evening; and auction of gifts.
Philip Haines, TIM president,
went before borough council last
month and asked them to revise
an ordinance forbidding parking
on borough streets between 2 a.m.
and 6 a.m. It was requested that
the ban be lifted on Saturday and
Sunday mornings.
Christmas season brought a
rush of parties for underprivileged
children. Leonides Council mem
bers helped the Nittany Council
with "Project Joey" and enter
tained about 40 children.
Plans for a merger with AIM
were discussed at numerous
meetings throughout the semes
ter, but Leonides did not come
to a decision. This issue is still
being discussed in a joint com
mittee.
A $5O scholarship, the Leonides
Honor Grant, was set up by the
council in January. The scholar
ship will be awarded in the spring
for - the fall semester.
Frost and Holbrook
Featured in Series
Robert Frost, the Pittsburgh Symphony, Hal Holbrook
and the Shakespeare Festival Players these are some of
the outstanding performers that appeared here this fall in
the third annual Artists Series.
Tossy Spivakovsky, violin virtuoso, began the season
with a concert in which he played
works by Mozart, Brahms, Debus
sy, and Bach. Adele Adison, ac
companied by Albert Fuller at
the harpsichord, entertained the
students with an operatic pro
gram
Robert Frost, renowned Amer
ican poet, and Hal Holbrook, re
creator of Mark Twain, drew two
of the largest crowds in the his
tory of the Artists Series. Both
were immediate sellouts and had
to be broadcast over the radio.
Several students received
their first taste of opera-going
when the Goldovsky Grand
Opera Theatre appeared here in
their performance of Verdi's
"Rigoleto." Of equal enjoyment
were the productions of "The
Tempest" and "Measure for
Measure" by the Shakespeare
Festival Players.
The Camera Concerti was also
DO YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY IS
TAXED TO PAY FOR "PUBLIC POWER"?
You and other Americans have already been taxed
about $5,500,000,000 to put the federal government
into the electric business.
Now the lobbyists for this so-called "public
power" are pressing for $10,000,000,000 more—to
put the government still farther into that business.
This additional tax spending would be com
pletely unnecessary. Independent electric light and
power companies, like yours, are ready and able
to provide all the low-price electricity people will
need—without depending on your taxes.
The reason federal "public power" gets your
tax money is simply that most people don't know
about it. So spread the word among your friends
and neighbors. As soon as enough people under
stand, they'll stop this unnecessary spending of
everybody's money.

students. Very difficult classical
music was played by an orches
tral group consisting of only 12
members, leaving much of the
usual cymbal crashing and drum
rolling out of the music.
Among the other performers
who appeared this fall were Leon
ard Rose and Leon Fleisher, the
Pittsburgh Symphony and Art
Hodes and his Dixieland Band.
The Chicago Ballet with Me

The other performances for the
spring semester include: The Ne

Catherine Crozier and Anton
