A provision was made for a
limited extension of the 1965
deadline if a group with a dis
criminatory clause can prove that
it is powerless to eliminate its
clause by deadline time.
A University official said last
night that these extension pro
visions are necessary to provide
time for gr o ups to petition
their national organizations for
changes.
AT PRESENT, the University
of Pittsburgh does not maintain
discriminatory policies in employ
ment, student selection or hous
ing.
The request for an official
statement on discrimination came
from Pitt's School of Medicine
and was aimed at the elimination
of certain official University
meetings held at private clubs
which discriminate.

counterparts were Gamma Phi

Robert Napier and Robert M.
Des Marais, professors of archi
tecture, who judged the contest,
used a 100-point system in judg
ing the displays.
The 37 Greek entries could
have achieved a maximum of 10
points for originality, 40 for pre
sentation, 20 for aesthetic value
and 30 for adherence to theme.
None of the winners received the
maximum number of points, she
said, although the judges did
award them points of 90 or above.
In the sing competitions, four
fraternities were selected instead
of three, as planned, because the
judges, Peter Gano and Louis
Mitinger, said they had reached
a tie among the four finalists.

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.
The festival will include a stu
dent artists series, a student art
exhibit and performances by the
Meditation Chapel Choir and the
University Symphony Orchestra.
A dramatic performance may also
be scheduled for sometime during
the weekend.
The art rental library, originally
scheduled to open this week in
the HUB, will ndt open until
March 8, Williams added.

and to the Office of the Dean of
Wonien.
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.
Under new business the council
also voted to close the open
bidding period Feb. 28. Sororities
who at present have a member
ship of 30 or below have been
extended special privileges and
are exempt from the deadline.
