Disciplines
Girl, 3 Men
The Senate Subcommittee
on Discipline placed one man
on disciplinary probation, sus
pended one coed and placed
two men on suspended sus
pension last week. In addition,
the office of the dean of men put
two men on disciplinary proba
tion.
The girl, a sophomore in liberal
arts, made an unauthorized visit
to the downtown apartment of a
male student, according to Dor
othy J. Lipp, dean of women.
The girl, she added, was dis
coyered missing when she was not
present for a fire drill held in her
residence hail.
The student had a long record
of minor offenses; Dean Lipp
said, and was also on academic
probation.
The boy whose apartment she
visited was already on probation
with the dean of men and was
placed on disciplinary probation
by the committee, Leroy S. Au
stin, associate dean of men, said
yesterday.
In another case, two students
were' caught shoplifting in a store
downtown were placed on sus
pended suspension until June
1962, Austin reported.
The case was referred to the
subcommittee by the dean of men
after the Pollock tribunal had
handled the case and in a split
decision recommended office pro
bation for both students.
These students can be suspend
ed by the dean of men upon any
further violations.

Army Smashes Venezuelan Rioting
CARACAS, Venezuela (?P)—
Crack army troops poured
into the battle-strewn streets
of Caracas last night to smash
bloody and destructive rioting
against , the government.
President Rornulo Betancourt
said the systematic waves of vio
lence were launched by Commu
nists and other leftists seeking to
overthrow him and set up a Cas
tro-style revolutionary regime in
Venezuela.--
Even schoolboys subverted by
the leftists were reported firing
on police with pistols during the
day.
The fourth straight day of
hoodlum attacks, without let
up, prompted the Moderate So
cialist President •Betancourt to
call out the army and' suspend

ments that with student coopera
tion they would be able to erase
the current deficit in the next
months.
Last spring, according to a
statement issued by President
Walker, Housing and Food Serv
ice were finding increasing diffi
culties in operating within their
present budget.
Diem stressed that "complete
cooperation" of the students as
well as "imaginative thinking"
by his organization would be
necessary to continue to keep
the fees at the current rate.
Diem cited the rising costs of
raw food, labor and supplies be
sides rising costs in general as
the reason for considering a pos
sible hike in fees. However, in
the areas of heat, light and water,
students can help, he added.
Greater consideration of Uni
versity property and greater
care in the use of utilities could
possibly provide enough sav•
ings to avoid a future increase
in fees, Diem said.
Students should show the same
consideration of University prop
erty and furnishings as they do
of their home furnishings, he said.
Such a seemingly small thing as
cutting across the lawn results in
faster floor depreciation, hiring
janitors to clean the mud from
the floors and fixing up the grass
in the spring, Diem said. Avoid
ance of wasteful and inconsider
ate action would he a saving, he
said.
Diem said that in view of in
flation, the University has done
an excellent job in "holding the
line" and that his organization
would continue to put forth ev
ery effort to forestall an in
crease.
He would make no prediction
as to a possible increase for the
Tune or October quarters. The
fees were increased in 1957 and
now range from $702 to $BOl a
year.

Out-of-Season
Temperatures
To End Today
The out-of-season weather pat
tern responsible for the unusually
warm weather the past tw o
weeks, will come to an abrupt
end today.
Scattered showers early today
will give way to windy and much
colder weather this afternoon and
tonight. Snow flurries and squalls
may develop late in the day and
continue tonight.
The mercury will begin a rapid
drop during the late morning
which should carry temperatures
from the low 50's before noon
down to the upper 30's by mid
afternoon, and then below the
freezing mark early tonight.
Tonight's low will be about
25 and tomorrow's high should be
near 34 degrees. Tomorrow will
be partly cloudy, windy and con
siderably colder.
A severe storm system which
developed in the Central section
of the nation late Sunday prompt
ed a major shift in weather con
ditions over much of the nation.
Blizzard conditions accompanied,
by heavy snow, gale force winds
and near zero temperatures swept
across the Northern Plains and
into the Western Great Lakes late
yesterday and last night.
The new weather regime that
now dominates the weather pat
tern will probably cause progres
sively colder weather in this area
during the next few days. The
mercury may dip close to 20 de-1
grees tonight and possibly into ,
the teens tomorrow night.

bowl game set a precedent and
that students would be willing to
make up classes missed on the
day preceding final examinations.
"The bowl is as much of a Uni
versity function as classes are,"
Haber said.
Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, spe
cial assistant to the president for
student affairs, told Haber yester
day that if the students • wished
to request the half-holiday it
would • have to be through SGA
action.
Bernreuter later told the Col
legian That it we's "unlikely the
administration would approve
such a holiday." He explained
that students had requested the
free day before finals for study
and that making up classes on
this day would defeat the pur
pose of having such a free day.
Another plan for the altering
of Christmas vacation to permit
attendance at the bowl game was
advanced yesterday by Anthony
Gitt, junior in electrical engineer
ing from Springfield.
Gitt is now petitioning for an
extension of Christmas recess by
three days. He would like to gee
vacation begin on the Friday eve
ning before the bowl game and
suggests that the time missed
could be made up by students re
turning from vacation one day
earlier and attending classes on
the freeday before examinations.
He said he has not found a way
to make up the third day.
Gitt's petitions are posted in
the Hetzel Union building, War
ing lounge and at his fraternity
house, Sigma Alpha Mu.
When Penn State hosted the:
first Liberty Bowl game in Phila
delphia last year students were
given a half-holiday. Saturday)
morning classes were cancelled
and the classes missed were made ,
up on the morning of the free day:
just preceding final examination',
week.
Last year, however, Christmas;
recess was to have begun that
same Saturday afternoon and with
the added holiday it began Friday
evening. Christmas vacation does
not begin until Wednesday after
noon after the bowl game this
year.
SANTA CLAUS COMES TO TOWN: The Christmas season offi
