PAGE 4 Ik 4 ll II 1 The XGI winter term service project came off real well! The trip to the Coatesville V A Hospital on Friday, Feb. 28, included 3 reporters, 9 frat members, and 2 guitarists. Many thanks to Jane Jones and Jane Shue for their music. The f rat received a thank-you letter from Coatesville for the visit. It was reported that "lumpless" Pat Truitt found a multi-colored shower curtain in the so-called "mens" room or was that the "hers" room? The new officers of the frat are: President - Paul Skodacek (pronounced Sko-da-sa-check); Vice President - Edna Keister (alias Ed. Keister according to Swatara PD); Secretary - Bruce Sommers; Treasurer - Ken Harris. Inauguration was held at last Tuesday night's meeting along with frat picture taking for the yearbook. The XGI "little man" project in Vendorville is under way. It was started last Sunday and should run for a few more weekends. We hope to see some other organizations start on their projects in Vendorville also. Happy finals to all - first meeting of the spring term will be April Ist. Surely you can make it - nothing happens the Ist week of classes. Why not stop in the lounge tomorrow (Friday) and wit ness the finish of "lumpless's" operation.

Conditioning Policy, 1975 As an energy conservation measure, and also with due consideration to budgetary implications, the following policies are applicable to the furnishing of air conditioning in 1975. These policies are issued at this time for planning purposes. Further study will result in more definitive and detailed guidance at a later date. The primary objective of these guidelines is to reduce the amount and cost of air con ditioning and humidity control furnished, but to maintain essential activities. The policy is therefore directed to necessity and quantity. a. Necessity (1) I feel strongly that the highest priority should be placed upon furnishing air conditioning to student classrooms. The density of occupancy, coupled with prevailing temperature and humidity conditions, makes it mandatory to maintain a suitable en vironment for the learning process. XG I Reporter Jorn Jensen c. Your comments and recommendations, are UAW Air (2) Specific temperature levels must be maintained in the Computer Center so that the equipment can function properly. (3) The library requires some humidity control to protect our investment. (4) Conference rooms and the auditorium need air conditioning but only when scheduled for use. (5) Because of density of occupancy and heat producing equipment vendorville will require air conditioning. (6) Other activities require examination. b. Quantity (1) It is planned to establish 80 degrees - 82 desrees F range as the criteria level for turning on air conditioning instead of the 78 degrees F level used in 1974. (2) There are 14 heating cooling zones in the Main Building. If consolidation or relocation of activities could result in vacating any complete zones for the summer, considerable savings could result. Similarly, we can no longer afford the luxury of air conditioning the entire building to satisfy a weekend schedule in one area only, such as the auditorium. I am therefore appointing a committee to review various possibilities, including scheduling of classrooms, auditorium, etc. (3) As a policy, effort will be continued by the Physical Plant Depart ment to improve in strumentation, automatic controls and cut-off equipment, and to study possibilities of reducing central heating plant operations to correspond with the reduction in air conditioning.
