Such a program has been approv ed and is in immediate effect. The need for such a plan has been obvibus for some time, es pecially at the present as the 38 Units in the tWo areas represent 1890 students. The ,counseling program is set up to aid the student in adjusting himself. socially and academic ally. Program_ Needed According to D. A. DeMarino, Assistant Dean of Men, "4 pro gram was needed in order to sup plement- that of the classroom, thereby realizing the - value of total educational development of the individual.

October a, STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1949 Non-Racial Barbershop .Opens Success Crowns Group's Year-Long Efforts; New Shop Established Opposite Post Office A non-discriminatory barber • shop has been established in State College, the Council on Racial Equality said yesterday. The announcement by Prof. Harold Graves of CORE came after a year of agitation for establishment of such a shop which at one time produced a two week-long boycott of downtown barbers who re fused to cut the hair of Negroes. Prof. Graves said yesterday that CORE tickets, which entitle the holder to a free haircut, would be redeemed at the shop, located on East Beaver avenue opposite the Post Office. The tickets were sold two years ago to raise funds for setting up such a barber shop. A fund of more than $l,BOO for this purpose was raised by CORE before the beginning of last year. Mark Butler in Charge Prof. Graves said that CORE has approved the barber shop, run by Mark Butler, who came to State College this summer to in quire about setting up the shop. He said that the shop definitely does not discriminate against Ne groes. Downtown barbers consistently have refused to cut the hair of Negroes, forcing them to cut their own hair or go out-of-town for haircuts. Last November CORE placed advertisements in Pittsburgh and Harrisburg newspapers in an at tempt to locate barbers willing to operate such a shop. A number of replies were received but the dif ficulty in obtaining equipment and living quarters for the bar bers held up further action at that time.

CORE did not view, establish ment of a non-discriminatory bar ber shop as solution to the prob lem, but rather hoped in this way to bring about' a change in the policies of downtown barbers. Picketing Halted Picketing was halted after the Christmas holiday and never was taken up in earnest again. An in formal committee was formed in an attempt to negotiate with bar bers to change their policy, but these efforts failed. Then a one day token bOycott was called by NAACP. There was little action then un til May, when the Pollock Circle and Nittany Dorm councils offered CORE the use of a room in the PUB for a barber shop. They quickly learned, however, that the proposal probably would have to be approved by the Board of Trus tees. At that time, CORE officials said they would favor such a plan.
