Panhel Anal sis Panhel May Soon Abandon Fall Rush By SUE LINKBOUM Fifth of Series Panhellenic Council infor mal fall rushing may be aban doned within , the next two years. In. a meeting with the - rushing chairmen from each sorority, Dor othy J. Lipp, dean of women, said that by doing away with fall rush ing, savings would be made finan cially and in student energy. Sor ority women could prepare whole heartedly for spring rushing if they did not have to hold fall rushing. No final decision has been reached yet on the issue. Some of the chairmen attend ing the meeting said they felt that they often got their best pledge classes in the fall. Dean Lipp said that the women who did not make their averages to ....._____:,,. 0 II , .. .., ........„ ity Averages Discouraging,' I ells Council By KAREN HYNECKEAL time in the history of the University that men's average, the All-University frater- I:e and the All-University non-fraternity Ie the same, William E. Wise, assistant to ir fraternity affairs, told the Interfraternity Council last night, Wise said that it was also the first time that 35 fraternities scored the same as or below the All-University Men's average (2.33 for the fall, 1959). "The only good thing about this list is that several fraterni- 1 ties which previously ranked low have moved up. Otherwise, it is pretty discouraging," he said. "You might note that the freshman men made a marked improvement as 47.1 per cent of them received grades above the 2.2 average required for pledging. This is directly com parable to the 1958-59 semester when 44.4 per cent of them achieved an average of 2.2 or above," Wise told the council. Included on the list of aver ages were several statistics re lating to the fraternities. Phi Kap pa Tau made the greatest im provement, moving from 51st to 13th in rank and therefore wins the Sigma Chi Scholarship Im provement Trophy. On the other hand, 15 chapters dropped 10 or more places in rank and six chapters dropped 20 places or more. The report also stated: "It is discouraging to report that two chapters ranked below the 2.0 average required for graduation." They are Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi. In other business, the .newly elected officers were installed. I They are Ronald Novak, presi dent: Chester Lucido, vice pres ident and Benjamin Bronstein, secretary-treasurer. Lucido, IFC Ball co-chairman, announced that tickets for the dance will go on sale on Friday at the Hetzel Union desk. The ball will be held Friday night in Recreation Hall. Before the installation of offi cers, Gary Gentzler, past IFC president, announced that fresh man men who have signed their Housing contracts and paid their $lO and been assigned to a room may cancel that room if they do so before April 25. Their $lO will be refunded. The council will also be accept ! ing applications- for chairmen of !the nine IFC committees and also ithe Board of Control. Any fra ternity man may apply for these chairmanships beginning April 4. rush their second semester would have to wait until the 'fourth semester if fall rushing is abandoned. Suggestions were made to have open bidding for three weeks to pick up coeds who did not rush in the spring. No first-semester students would be eligible for a bid. Another recommendation was to have fall rushing just for stu dents who had been on campus the previous year and not trans fer students. This would decrease the number of rushees. The major objections to this plan is that junior transfer stu dents would have three semes ters as an active sorority mem ber if they could not join one until spring. Dean Lipp said that an excep tion could be made for junior transfers but any other transfer FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29. 1960 Agreement Made Students Stop Picketing Barber Shop Students stopped picket ing Bunn's Barber shop at 2:30 p.m. yesterday but this does not mean they are "backing down," Stephen Blum, chairman of th e group's policy committee, said. Picketing stopped after a mu tual agreement was made be tween Kenneth Bunn, owner of the shop, and the student picketers, Blum said. The joint agreement stipu lated that picketing would be stopped for a one-week "cool ing -off" period while members of the, as yet nameless, group and Bunn discuss the issue, ac cording to Blum. "This will be mediation," he said, "not dem onstration." Both parties agreed to the statement, Blum said. During this period, no Negro Council Heads Considered For Cabinet Seats The SGA Cabinet recom mended last night that seating college council presidents on Cabinet be discussed at next year's Student Encampment. The recommendation followed a long debate on a bill asking that the SGA Constitution be changed to include the college presidents in Cabinet. The bill wil be committed to the SGA Reorganization Com mittee. Jay Hawley, Rules Com mittee chairman, explained that it had not ,been placed on the Assembly agenda for this week because it involved a constitu tional change. _ The committee felt that the same Assembly members should discuss the bill at all of the three meetings required for a constitutional change, he said. This would be impossible if it were brought up for the first time this week, since the new Assembly takes over next week after elections. Walton Davis (Sr.-U.) propon ent of the bill said he only wished the issue to be taken up for con sideration again and discussed on the Assembly floor, rather than have Assembly take action on it immediately. In other action, Cabinet recom mended that a year-round corn (Continued on page four) students would have to wait until spring to rush. If the plan to have only one rushing period during a year goes into effect, a suggestion was made to have open houses held on the weekend after spring registration and then a two-week waiting pe riod before formal rushing actu f 'ally begins. This would alleviate some of the work that is concentrated into the two weeks of rushing and rush chairmen could start the process of getting 'recom mendations on rushees earlier. The possibility of having a few open houses in the fall for pro spective rushees in order to orient them to sorority life before they rush was also suggested. Dean Lipp said that in ten years hence, it is likely that the entire rushing program will have to be revamped because of the large number of women expected on campus then. By NICKI WOLFORD egiatt student should attempt to get a haircut at the shop and there will be no demonstrations, Blum explained. "The fact that he wanted to talk to someone is just what we wanted," Blum explained. In a statement issued after the agreement, Bunn and the student spokesman said: "It should be emphasized that this statement should not be con fused so that it means either side has backed down on its original principles. "A joint agreement of the bases for mediation has been reached and that is the sum total of the action at this time." In explaining the origin of the student group, Blum said, "This is a fantastic exercise in group dynamics." The group should not be identified with other campus organizations or political par ties, he explained.

Peter Day, a student spokes man, said that 120 came to a meeting held on Sunday and each one had different ideas on achieving the movement's objectives, which include work ing on local discrimination problems and expressing sym pathy for the southern Ne groes' problems. ' This issue, Day said, "should not be used as a political tool." During last night's meeting, Blum said, that the group should not be identified. with political parties now because there was "no such thing as a bi-partisan effort during an election."
