No. 78 UNIVERSITY PARK. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 14. 1963 FIVE CENTS Panhel A ; • proves Judicial Revision By CAROL RITCH The Panhellenic Council ap proved a judicial by-law amend ment last night. The revision stip ulates that at both the prelimi nary and the formal hearings all groups involved in judicial in fractions must be present to give their side of the case to the Judicial Board. FORMERLY the group which reported the infraction was not required to appear before the board. The code further states that the accused shall be informed of the investigation at least two calendar days prior to the pre liminary hearing. USG Postpones Action On Changes in yintaws By JOAN HARTMAN and PENNY WATSON Action on the by-laws amendment requiring all congres sional candidates to submit signed nominating petitions was postponed by the Undergraduate Student Government Con gress last night. Congress then passed a motion stating that the entire section of the by-laws pertain ing to nominations be rewritten and submitted next week. This action came after confusion arose concerning the wording of the original by-laws amendment. THE RULES Committee; Jon Geiger (fraternity), the bill's spon sor; Blake Murphy (Pollock), By laws chairman; and Alan White (town) will meet Monday night to rewrite the nominations re quirements for USG. In other business, David Was son, Transportation Committee chairman, said his committee will sell reduced-rate railroad tickets to Philadelphia and New York City at the end of this term. The committee was originally established two years ago to in vestigate the possibilities of run ning special buses to metropoli tan areas at vacation periods. This plan was found to be infeasible, Wasson said, because the bus companies will not offer lower rates to the student body, and it is also infeasible for USG to charter buses for several rea sons. "USG cannot sponsor chartered buses because in doing so it would encourage students to cut classes at the Thanksgiving and Easter holidays," he said. Also, the committee tried to get enough students to fill a*chartered bus to Philadelphia last year, but only 17 students indicated inter est in the project. If the committee Alpha Zeta presented a sev en-man rock and roll combo which played "I've Got My Eyes on You." Myron Kerstetter of Delta Chi sang "Tonight" from "West Side Story." Sigma Pi's contribution was an accordion solo of "The Jolly Caballero" by Andrew Uroskie and Harold Ar berg of Tau Kappa Epsilon sang "Because." Among the sorority winners were Ellen Aurand of Alpha Gam ma Delta, who played "The Cat and the Mouse' on piano; the Alpha Omicron Pi quintet, which dressed in hillbilly *style for a folk-song medl e y- including "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Tri-Delt's octet sang "Blue Indigo" while dressed in janitresses' clothing. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE A written accusation, defense and evidence shall be presented to the Panhellenic advisor and to the chairman of the Judicial Board. If at the preliminary hearing a solution is reached by the in volved groups, the case will be closed and no public report will be issued. In cases where no solution is reached, a formal hearing will be held at least four days after the preliminary hearing. Both the pre liminary and the formal hearings will be closed to outside groups. Any violation of rules shall be reported in writing by the Panhel lenic president to the national president of the sorority involved, had chartered the bus with only 17 passengers, USG would have had to make up a deficit of over $lOO, he said. Reporting on the USG Commit tee on Fine Arts and Cultural Affairs, originally the Cultural committee, James R. Williams, chairman, said the committee will sponsor a tea from 3-5 p.m. Sun day in the Hetzel Union main lounge. The Alard String Quartet will perform, he said. THE COMMITTEE will also spon2or a spring arts festival May 24, 25 and 26. The purpose of the festival is to point out the cul tural activities available at the University, he said.

In further business the council approved a ticket proposal pre sented by Allen Feingold, music festival co-chairman, and Emil Sos, Interfraternity Council presi dent. The plan calls for reduced group ticket rates for the Spring Week Music Festival featuring the Brothers Four. Feingold said that frater nities had unanimously voted in favor of reducing ticket rates for the sororities if 50 per cent of the individual sorority member ship bought tickets. A nominal percentage will be set up for resi dence areas enabling them to buy tickets at the reduced rates, Fein gold said. POINTS WILL be awarded to sororities on the basis of percen tage of tickets sold in proportion to their membership, Feingold said. This would enable fairer participation between smaller and larger groups, he added. Points will also be awarded for hours sorority members spend in ticket selling booths in the fletzel Union Building, he explained. A trophy will be presented at the musical festival intermission to the sorority which accumulated the highest number of points. Proceeds from the tickets sold will go into a scholarship fund.
