Third Party Charter Denied to Liberals Liberal party’s application for a charter has been denied by the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, Dr. Monroe Newman, chairman, said yesterday. The committee will reconsider the application if certain sections of the party’s constitut In compliance with Senate regulations, Liberal party’s appli cation went before the Senate Subcommittee on Organization and Control last month. The sub committee makes recommenda tions on charter applications to the Student Affairs Committee. At that time the subcommit tee returned the party consti tution and asked the Liberal party officers to revise certain sections. A clause designed to limit the number of fralernity and sorority party members was among those not approved by the subcommittee. Party members were confident that the application would be ac cepted, said Richard Snyder, party chairman. The officers were led to believe that if the changes were made, the subcommittee ®aily^(EnUi'gt STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING.

Snyder said he was informed by Newman that the Student Af fairs Committee was asked to make the decision because its subcommittee had been stale mated by a 2-2-1 vote. The char ter was then denied for a second time until certain sections are changed. ■ "This seems like another 'We'll give you a charier, IF ...' statement" said Snyder. There has been no decision as to whether another revision will be made, he said. "We already have made one concession." The points that the committee found fault with still center around the party’s membership (Continued on page five / i FOR A BETTER PENN STATE 1961 the fraternity will be under strict observation, Robinson said. A $5O fine, payable by Decem ber 1 was also upheld by the Subcommittee. The property involved was ap proximately $97 worth of equip ment stolen from Bell Telephone Company on Burrowes St. near College Ave. on Sept. 12, Robin son explained. It was brought to the atten tion of the Board of Control Tuesday night that this prop erty was in the possession of two members of Sigma Nu. These men claimed that they found the porperty on fraternity premises around the lime of Homecoming Weekend, Robin son said. However, due to the length of time the men involved kept this property and due to “other simi lar reasons,” the Board decided that the fraternity was respon sible, he added. The Board recom mended the penalty Tuesday night and the Subcommittee ap proved it today. The removal of social privileges prohibits the entertainment of women guests on the fraternity premises until Feb. 1. However, special permission has been granted to allow Kappa Alpha Theta sorority to hold their pledge formal at the House Saturday night since the event had been previously scheduled, he added. This penally will not affect the fraternity’s rushing privileges, but just applies to social func tions, Robinson said. Concert Tickets Still Available About 250 student tickets are still available for the University Artists Series concert which will be presented at 8:30 tonight in Schwab by the German baritone, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.. About 60 faculty and non-stu dent tickets are also available at Hetzel Union desk. A young man, Dieskau is con sidered by some to be the world’s finest concert baritone, according to Nina Brown, Artists Series’ secretary. Although he is a member of the Berlin Opera, Dieskau finds the concert stages his favorite medium. Dieskau is appearing at the University during his third tour of the American Continent. His other appearances will be in ma jor cities across this country and Canada.

He is coming at the request of Richard Haber, SGA pi-esident. who said yesterday that Walker will discuss the effects of the 4- term system on the students and student organizations. Haber said that he thinks that the students, who are most direct ly affected by the new plan, are the least informed on the overall changes which the plan will insti tute. “I think that there should be better communications between the administration and the stu dents and SGA should provide those communications,” Haber said. “Having Dr. Walker speak to SGA seemed to be appropriate at j this time. Even if he only spoke! on jelly beans, it would be some thing,” Haber said. | Haber said that he asked Walk-! er if he would speak on the 4-1 term plan yesterday and Walker said that he would like very much to speak to the Assembly. Haber said that Assemblymen will be able to ask Walker ques tions about the 4-term system and that students should contact the Assemblymen it they had particular questions which they would like Walker to answer. Walker’s talk will be first onj the agenda and should begin at! 7:30 p.m. which is the scheduled j time for the SGA meeting.
