ent men."
MacCallum broke the $7.50 as
sessment down into weeks and
days, ending up with a figure of
approximately $.28.8 a week, ap
proximately four cents a day.
He also stated that the present
rate was absolutely needed be
cause anything lower would come
out to less than the amount need
ed to pay off the yearly interest
on the loan. The present figure
would give $135,000 to the fund,
with $lOO,OOO going toward the
yearly interest, the rest toward
paying off the capital and main
tenance of the building.
Clark's petition followed and a
hectic verbal battle ensued over
the term "questionable tactics."
Clark's 53.8 percent turnout on
the petitions •he circulated turn
ed against him when several ques
tioners wanted to know if the as
sessment was as "hush-hush" as
he claimed, then how did he ob
tain that number of signatures.
Amendment Tests
Richard Schweiker, former All-
College parlimentarian, cited the
fact that the present two consecu
tive meetings with passage by a
two-thirds vote, was the most
stringent test that the amendment
could be put to.
Several requests for a referen
dum were entered; but no one
had a plan whereby the machin
ery could be set in action and the
results tabulated before the June
10 meeting of the joint Alumni-
Trustee board which will decide
upon the assessment.
Michel then brought his some
what inconclusive petition forth
and submitted it to Davis.
The petition, which asked for a
reconsideration of the assessment,
was signed by 349 residents of
Pollock Circle, 91 out of 160 men
in four fraternity houses and a
"sizable number of girls" in the
first floor east wing of the Wom
en's Building.
Dean Gladfelter, chairman of
the Board of Publications, Dosed
several questions on the SU build
ing. Gladfelter stated that too few
people on campus knew much
about the SU building and what
it would do for them.
He asked how the SU was to
be operated and controlled, and
how was this to be determined.

answered that the setup was to be
similar to the administration of
the present TUB, with George
Donovan, manager in charge of
associated student activities, and
a SU board composed of students.
Gladfelter then asked if the
proposed ballroom was big enough
to house the crowd that would
attend an All-College dance with
a name band.
Thomas Morgan, former editor
of the Daily Collegian and a mem
ber of the SU committee, answer
ed that while the first ballroom
would only equal half the floor
space of Rec Hall, lounges, coffee
shops and other attractions on the
same floor would take care of the
overflow crowds.
Gladfelter then asked Morris
about the completion date and if
the present two to three million
dollar figure included furnishing
of the building.
Morris estimated that 18 to 24
months would be needed for com
pletion. He also stated that the
appropriation would include fur
nishings.
Richard Schweiker questioned
the reliability of the polls pre
sented to cabinet. He said that,
to have an effective poll, the poll
takers should be completely un
biased, which was not the case at
the cabinet meeting.
To the point that many demo
cratic bodies provide for and use
a referendum, Peter Geisey, past
IFC president, replied that a ref
erendum is a possibility but that
a referendum should not be used
for every proposal brought before
cabinet.
Several persons pointed out that
this assessment was an unusual
matter and
,that, in this case, a
referendum should be held. It
was also pointed out that the pe
titions presented to Cabinet might
not be accurate but that they do
show there is opposition to the
plan.
About this time Richard Bard,
AIM president, moved that each
speaker be limited to threft mi
nutes. The motion was passed
unanimously.
More discussion followed then
Nancy George, president of the
Pan Hellenic Council called for
the question.

Gods Pleased—

medicine man put in their appear
ance spraying cold fire about and
chanting native prayers.
Then in a final plea to the
sun gods, the high priestess
"plunged her dagger into Allen's
breast and withdrew a bloody
heart." After carrying it to the
high altar, she and the three
maids backed away in humble
reverence.
Suddenly the Spirit of the Car
nival, represented by Rudy Val
entino, leaped into the flaming
circle doing gleeful,-flips and cart
wheels.
This, combined with the sacri
fice and the prayers, seemed to
please the benevolent sun gods,
and they blazed their approval
with a blinding flash of light to
bring the ritual to an end.
By JACK GARRETSON-BUTT
That sprawling bunch of trailers facing Mt. Nittany often
jokingly referred to as "the rabbit patch," is a well integrated,
well governed, third class borough.
Windcrest, the home of the married veterans at Penn
State, occupies the unique position of being a borough within
a borough. Independent of the government of State College,
it is run by a student burgess and a seven-man council. These
eight officials are elected each
semester by adult inhabitants of
Windcrest
It is commonly believed to be
the only borough now in exist
ence which exists entirely on a
college campus. Something of a
curiosity because of this, Wind
crest was written up in a national
magazine not long after its incep
tion in 1944.
This unique position in the
governmental structure, however,
has posed several problems in the
past. When the town of State Col
lege introduced a local head-tax
last year, they wanted to make
the veterans of Windcrest pay. It
was only after a stiff struggle in
which the College and Windcrest
council fought shoulder to shoul
der, that the measure was defeat
ed on the grounds that the whole
of the Windcrest area is on cam
pus.
The adult population was unof
ficially estimated at more than
500 persons, and with children, at
more than 1,000. It is likely that
more chidren have been born of

Windcrestians than • have ever
been born of an equal number of
couples in the same time. The vets
and their wives point to this rec
ord with pride.
Windcrest is scheduled to be
disbanded in June,: 1951. But,
hopes are high that its life will
be extended because of a great
waiting list which still exists. The
rents are cheaper than in town,
and of course, many landlords in
town forbid children.
In Windcrest, children are an
integral part of the scene; for, in
order to live in a small school
trailer, it is necessary •to have
one child, and two children are a
prerequisite for living in one of
the larger trailers.
With its future uncertairf,
Windcrest is not progressing by
leaps and bounds, but is certainly
not losing any ground.
