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.

Community Forum Speech
Scheduled appearance of Har
old E. Stassen in the Commun
ity Forum *lecture series is in
doubt, due to the pressure of his
presidential campaign, said Bruce
V. Moore, general program chair

broken his contract to address the
Forum audience, but the inability
of the program committee to get
a date commitment is an indica
tion that a cancellation may be
expected. He has cancelled most
of his engagements at other col
leges and universities.

Here we have a table-hopper,
a strange species of hot-dog

"This is great," says the hopper.
