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.

State To Increase
Education Outlays
HARRISBURG (AP) Gov. 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-
