The vote was unanimously in favor of the proposal. Final ac tion of the Council will not be known until its next meeting however. At that time the pro posal will be put to a final vote on the floor.

Lines from the Lion Dear Gang. Here I am back again in this inverted mine shaft. The place hasn't changed much except for a few pit holes here and there. I guess John L.'s boys are out for another $lO a day I'm still a little bitter about those Temple students who painted my monument last week. If I ever meet them I'll send them to my/brother in the Bronx Zoo, he'll know what to do with them. An admirer of mine, Doris Langwell, is look ing for them. She's hot on their trail along with Dick Tracy and Chief Juba. From what I've seen of the Panthers they're pretty tough but I think after we grind them up a bit they'll taste pretty good as pantherburgers. Don't forget to bring your mustard! An extra company of the 'we cleaned up the numbers racket' police squad has been detailed to Pitt stadium but I sure hope they have more luck than they did last year. Their ranks opened like a sieve after the game when the "Battle for the goal posts" started. They had a front row seat for some of the greatest fistic battles the Smoky City had seen since the Billy Conn golden era. Playing safe, college officials have decided to put up wooden goal posts for the game since steel ones are hard to replace. The Milligan gang realizes now that they'll surely have to replace them before another game can be played on the panther home grounds.

The vote came at a special meeting called Wednesday by CORE'S executive committee, af ter a student group proposed a new plan to end barbershop dis crimination in town. Affirmative action consisted of a statement promising "renewed efforts to find suitable barbers who would operate a non-dis criminatory shop," said Dr. Har old F. Graves of the executive committee. Advertisements for barbers will be placed in newspapers in "an other metropolitan area," said Dr. Graves. Replies previously had been received from ads in Pitts burgh and Harrisburg papers. Difficulty in obtaining equip ment and in finding living quart ers for the barbers was reported as the chief obstacle faced by CORE early this month. The Council has $lBOO with which to conduct its work. This fund is the result of last spring's ticketselling campaign that gave purchasers four 25-cent coupons toward haircuts in the proposed non-discriminatory shop. A poll taken for CORE by the Inter fraternity Council last March showed 82% of those who answered favoring establishment of the shop, but the plan to with hold patronage from existing shops was rejected by 68% of the voters. Members of CORE's executive committee include, besides Dr. Graves; Dr. Arthur H. Reede, Corbin Kidder, Margaret Robin son, Ellen Stanleys, and Mrs. P. X, Rice.
