Push second session of the 88th Con gress convened in the politi cally charged atmosphere of a national election year. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, assistant Senate Democratic leader, told news men after attending the White House conference with John son that it had been decided to give the tax cut bill priority in the Senate. March 1 Deadline The tax bill has been passed by the House, and Humphrey said every effort will be made to expedite it through the Sen ate Finance Committee in time to lay it on Johnson's desk by March 1. There is some chance that House leaders might extricate the civil rights bill from the Rules Committee and pass it about the time the tax bill reaches the Senate floor. This would pose a delicate scheduling problem for Demo cratic leaders in the Senate. Their present plan is to inter cept the civil rights'bill 'when it arrives from the House and place it directly on the Senate calendar, thus bypassing the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee is headed by Sen. James 0. Eastland. D- Miss., who has no enthusiasm for civil rights bills. Short Message Due _ . President Johnson will start the legislative ball rolling shortly after noon today when he goes before a joint session of the House and Senate to de liver what is billed as the shortest State of the Union Message in 30 years. The opening sessions yester day were brief, formal, and weighted with things to come rather than with any imme diate drama. The Senate met for 23 min utes and then adjourned until today. The House. where it lakes longer to call the roll for a quorum because of its much larger membership. remained in session for 55 minutes. It adjourned after hearing the news that another member had died as , Congress was about to reconvene. 2 Vacant Seats Rep. Howard H. Baker, R- Tenth, 61. was stricken with a heart atack while shaving at his home in Knoxville and died. Baker's death leaves two vacancies on the House Ways and Means Committee, which is heading for what may be a close vote on a program of medical care for the aged un der Social Security. Rep. Wil liam J. Green Jr., D-Pa., died Dec. 20. The medical-care bill is ex pected to be one of the pro posals that Johnson \yid lay before Congress in his message today. Johnson's message also is ex pected to stress a campaign against poverty and unemploy ment through educating the unskilled and retraining those whose skills have been made obsolete by automation. Spring Week, Greek Week and intramural athletics will be suspended. All Saturday and. Friday night parties on all- University weekends will be l allowed. • For three consecutive ! terms, the fraternity will be! placed on social probation ex-: cept for Friday and Saturday night parties on all-University weekends. •For four consecutive terms, the fraternity will be denied its vote in IFC. A letter will be sent to the fraternity's pa-, tional headquarters to inform it of the situation. Five Terms e For five consecutive terms, the scholarship committee will recommend further restrictions tailored to the particular fra ternity's situation. A 25-minute discussion was held before the program was passed. At that time the main objection was that the program "placed too much pressure on the fraternity too soon." Peter Lockhart, IFC presi dent, explained that heavy pressure was applied after the second term because the com mittee found fraternities that "went under the average for the first time had a much easier time pulling out the next term than the fraternity that had been under a number of times." James Culp, scholarship vice, 1 president, added that the corn-1 mittee found that after twol 'terms of below-average per formance, most fraternities vol untarily eliminated Friday night parties." Justify Existence Guy Jackson, Acacia frater nity president, said, "I don't see how we can justify our existence to the administra tion if we don't match up to the all-men's average." Under the former academic program, a fraternity that fell below the 2.35 average for three consecutive terms lost Spring Week and/or Greek Week privileges. This penalty constituted the first punitive action taken, al though the fraternity was re quired to report on remedial steps after two tern the 2.35 average. IntramUral athletics were re stricted after four terms of poor scholarship and the schol arship committee could decide, on further penalties after the fifth successive tern, when a fraternity average fell below 2.35. According to Cozadd, IFC vice president, the new pro,qram is designed "to en courage greater scholarship" in the fraternity system. The all-fraternity average fell below the all-men's aver age every term during aca demic year 1962-63. Prior to the fall term 1962, the all-fra ternity average was above the all-men's average for five con secutive years.

Scranton's 1964-65 fiscal year budget, presented yesterday to the General Assembly, proposes a $4l million increase in state expenditures for public education in Pennsylvania. Scranton's program for public instruction from kindergarten through college in the year beginning next July 1 calls for expenditures totaling $595,359,535, which would be nearly 51 per cent of the total state general fund budget of $1.168 billion. At the same time, the governor asked the legislature to approve an immediate $3.6 million appropria- sidered.
