If the mediators are unable to bring about a change in the policy of discrimination by town shops, a committee was appointed to be gin work for the establishment of a modern non-discriminatory bar ber shop in State College.

Thunderstorm Floods Dorm 4/ With Mud, Water Torrents of water spelled havoc to Nittany Dormitory 41, head quarters of the Ovaltine Club, Wednesday night. The west wing of the dormitory was• completely inundated with 3 inches of water and mud. "I was studying in my room when I heard a commotion from down the hall," Robert Harrison, president of the club, said. "I opened my door and in comes at least 3 inches of water and mud. Someone had opened the outer door, allowing the water to come in. A bunch of fellows, clad only in undershorts or dungarees, were waving mops and brooms. Men on each side of the hallway tried frantically to barricade their doorways, but the water kept rolling in." Bill Gross, superintendent of men's dormitories, was called and brought additional brooms, mops, and some shovels. He was unable to •get in because the water was two feet deep outside the door and if it "had been opened, water would have flowed in. It took two men side-by-side with heavy mops to push all the water out of the hallway. Rooms 4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9 were the hard est hit.
