stipulated hours. The ruling does
not include those who are ‘>not
members of the family.
In other business the Senate
voted unanimously to accept aj
new constitution submitted by
Janis Somerville, chairman of the!
constitution committee. The con-,
stitution cannot be approved until;
after the Senate Sub-Committee 1
on Student Affairs approves a

cause the committee will not con
sider chartering any other groups
until it passes on the SGA Con

to charter all student groups.

Cold Weather
Should Remain ;
Flurries Due
A second surge of arctic air
overspread the commonwealth
last night, and an increase in snow
flurry activity was predicted for
early today.
Heavy snow squalls should
again deposit some snow in the
higher mountains northwest of
here today, but only a dusting-of
snow is likely in the local area.
Snow squalls have left up to
six inches of snow in some sec
tions in western Pennsylvania
during the past two days.
Clearing skies and diminishing
winds will allow temperatures to
skid to the lowest readings of
the season tonight. A minimum of
24 degrees is predicted [for early
tomorrow.
Today is expected to be mostly
cloudy, windy and cold with fre
quent snow flumes. The high
should be about 39 degrees.
Clearing and colder weather is
seen for tonight.
Tomorrow should be partly
cloudy and slightly milder with
increasing cloudiness late in the
day. A high of 46 is likely.
Light rain or possibly snow is
indicated for tomorrow night.

lo make the motion, and fox the'
people in the Senate to vote for
adjournment." Foianini said.
Altough the students didn’t ex
pect the Senate to grant the re
quest, they expected good reasons
for not granting the holiday rather
than a' “show of bad manners,”;
Foianini said.- i
“Respect is a mutual thing and
is is difficult for students to re
spect those who act in this way,”
he said.

student member of the calendar
committee, said that after ..all

however, until student govern

In a previous meeting the Sen
ate had voted to allow coeds to
wear bermudas in the dining halls
for Saturday evening meals. Up-,

policy has been reconsidered and
|no action will be taken on it

constitution are set. j

vote. In order for action to have
been taken on the request, a Sen
ate member would have had to‘
move that the request be granted.
Miss Ganter said that she and
Klein plan to start work next
term on plans for a longer Easter
holiday. She said it was evident
| from the reactions they had re-
I ceived that work should have
been started earlier bn the Thanks
giving holiday.
Klein said that the Senate had
apparently wished to make it
clear that student government has;
nothing to do with the term’s
calendar once it is formulated.

4 Disciplined for Theft
. Three of the four students' in
volved in stealing two chairs from
University residence halls were
suspended from the University
by the Senate Sub-Committee on
Discipline Tuesday. The fourth
was placed on disciplinary proba
tion.
The four students, members of
Phi Delta Theta fraternity, took
chairs from Beam and Thompson
Halls last fall. They were appre
hended during September of this
year. ',
A senior in business admini
stration who suggested that the
chairs be taken was given a
deferred suspension for the re
mainder of this term and was
suspended for the winter term,

suspension allows the student to
finish this term before his -sus
pension takes effect.
The student will be placed on
suspended suspension when he
returns to campus in the spring,
he said.
The two students who ac
tually took the chairs were also
given a deferred suspension for
the remainder of the term and
suspended for the winter term.
These students will be placed on
disciplinary probation when
they return to campus in the
spring, Leasure said.
The other student involved who
was placed on disciplinary pro
bation until the end of the spring
term, only helped move the chairs
from Phi Delta Theta to the men’s
apartment in the Metzger Build
ing, Leasure said.
