Blanket Permissions r & t u g , Tourgian WEATHER Granted Cloudy with Some Snow VOL. 47—No. 17 Straw Vote For New Shop Guides CORE Student sentiment is for the establishment of a new non-dis crinatory barber shop downtown, according to an advisory vote by almost 50 persons at a CORE meeting last night. After a lengthy discussion a straw vote showed that 28 fav ored a new shop with a withhold ing of patronage from existing shops. Nineteen present favored a new non-discrimnatory shop alone. The shop it was averred would be second to none in town, in fa clities, location, or personnel. The location would be in the Gregory building on the second floor. The suggestion was made that tickets worth 25c on each of four haircuts be sold, to indicate how many students would be willing to support the shop. IFC Makes Survey Willard Agnew orfered to make a survey among the members of IFC to see how many of them would support the new shop with or without suspension of patron age. He also suggested that the Presidents of Pollock Circle and Nittany Dorms do the same. A suggestion was also made that CORE organize a corporation to actually own the shop and em ploy the barber, so that no ques tion could arise in the new shop about discrimination. Action had tentatively been postponed until next week at press time. Lion Party Names Steering Group Lion Party is the name adopted by the new campus political Party organized recently.

The young and the young at heart congregate around the soda bar, 101 l before the attractive stone fireplace in the lounge, and circle the slippery ball room floor. George Donovan, student union manager, beams gleefully as he reports that business is getting better every day. "We're drawing a crowd in the morning.
