Feline Female Gets 10 Votes On Frosh Ballot By BARRY FOSTER A near catastrophic hoax shook the freshmen elections last week when a female cat, and mother of four, got her ""name"" on the ballots for secretary - treasurer and received ten votes. The Kitty, whose petition bore the data: Kathleen Katy, Kindergarden- Primary major from Carpentersville, Ill., is a pet of the neighborhood. Journalism student Judy Slifer became aware of the hoax plot; saw a story in the making, and followed it through. A group of kids decided to run Kitty for Secretary-Treasurer in the Frosh elections strictly as a joke. ""The kids put Kitty's name (Kathleen Katy) on a petition, had it signed legally, and turned it in."" According to Student Government President Dave Collins, Elections Chairman Steve Baxter checked the names of those students who signed the petitions. ""In checking the names and addresses of all candidates at the Student Center Information Desk, Steve found that there were three candidates which had no information listed about them,""- said Collins. Collins says that Baxter was then ""informed that the list was not complete and he was to list the candidates with petitions on the ballot in order to make the COURIER deadline."" Consequently, kittish Kathleen Katy's name appeared on the ballots and received ten votes. Prior to residing at 719 West Adams (the Alpha Sig House), Kitty was a guest of the men at Happy Haven, 717 West Adams Street. One of the men from Happy Haven said the news about Kitty came as quite a surprise. ""Nobody from Happy Haven ever made the headlines before,"" he said. Alpha Sigma Alpha President, Jan Smith told the COURIER that her sorority was not behind the plot to hoax the elections.

Greene revisited Red China last in 1960. Mass Pictures Planned For ""62"" Sequel Phil Myers, organization editor of the 1962 Sequel, has announced the following schedule for pictures starting Nov. 6.

Students Named To Disciplinary Committee The membership for the student-faculty disciplinary committee has now been completed with the naming of students to the committee. At the recent meeting of the newly formed Faculty Senate the names of Ronald Mead, Wayne Sheehan and Carolyn Barnes were approved. Grace McKone and Mary Gushing were approved as alternates. Under the terms of the University Constitution the All-University Student Government submits the names of five students to the Faculty Senate. From this list three of the five are selected. This year the forming of the committee has been delayed because of the transfering [transferring] of responsibilities from the Faculty Council to the Faculty Senate as prescribed in the University Constitution. As of this date this committee is available to meet with students who have allegedly breached the standards and mores of the university community as stipulated in the Student Agreement. In addition to the above names the faculty members on the committee are Dr. George Potter, Dr. Earl Foreman and the student's faculty adviser. Dr. John Henderson, Dean of Student Personnel Services is chairman of the committee. Dr, Simmons, Counselor for Men and Dr. Ehrhardt, Counselor for Women are ex officio members who are-used as consultants and have no vote in any disciplnary [disciplinary] action. Dean Henderson has a vote in case of a tie vote among the committee members. Marv & Pat Attend Journalism Meeting In Troy, New York
