William Cole, social chairman, told the board that Vivian Peter son, social chairman of Leonides, had committed that gro up to work with AIM on the project. John Laubach, chairman of the board of governors, named Cole and Thomas Taylor co-chairmen and instructed them to go ahead with plans for the independent sponsored all-College dance. Laubach also asked Ric har d Mills, president - of West Dorm Council, to increase efforts of the committee collecting funds for the victims of the Gentzel , build ing fire. Laubach termed the col lection to date "pitifully poor."

MoYlan Mills, editor of the In dependent, reported that the AIM sponsored' publication would prob ably cost $136 for the semester. C .

William Klisanin, drive chairman,: said about $443 will be _set aside for the organization from this year's drive. - • Johnson said he did not know the March of Dimes was listed among Chest beneficiaries until after the drive ended. The March of- Dimes was included in last year's chest drive but,, Johnson said, "unfortunately we were tot allowed to accept 'the money."

Harshbarger confirmed Harnett's statement and Klisanin could recall the meeting. Harsh barger said ,he ,was unaware the March of Dimes was inClUded in this year's drive. Klisanin said that last year's, contribution to the March of Dimes, totaling about $395, was handed over to the foundation as far as he know.i. He said he has no official record of the trans action. Johnson, on the other hand, said his group did • not ac cept the money.

Speaking on "Creative Types: Visual and Non-Visual Art EX periences," Lowenfeld spoke to a near capacity. audience in 121 Sparks. He was . introduced by Dean of Education Marion R. Trabue: Lowenfeld said if it is true that art is always above its contem poraries then we might, be opto mistic since art is so tolerant to day. Two Concepts Stated He said that when he was stu dying in Vienna, that they were told to blindfold themselves to exclude all the elements so that they might gain the most "valid" production of a thr e e dimen tional figure. Lowenfeld decided to go to the blind to find out the true meaning of this concept of the art of the blind, which he considers "the purest form of non-visual creation." The ar t education professor continued by saying that we can distinguish between tw o con cepts of creativity. The f irst process is through analysis, that is the process of first considering the whole and then the details. The second is a process of syn thesis, or going from details to the whole. The difference in these two concepts is based on the differ (Continued on page eight) By DAVE COLTON Rochelle, N.Y. stars, Ed Miller of the Orange, and State's top scorer, Jesse Arnelle.

The minimum cost of building a house large enough to house sufficient members to support it would be from $lOO,OOO to $160,000, she said, and there is always the problem of securing building ma terials. The Panhellenic Council plans to work with the local Women's Fraternity Council on the basic questions involved in undertak ing the project. Their first step will be to contact other colleges concerning their individual reg ulations on sorority houses. In answer' to the question of whether there have ever been any sorority houses on the cam pus, Miss Levitt reported there had not been. The idea that the cottages were once used as sor ority houses is a fallacy which grew out of the fact that members of the same sorority were housed in cottages previous to construc tion of Simmons and McElwain Halls, she said. None of the cot tages is large enough to hoi.ye a whole sorority, she added.

Stanley Wengert, IFC president, said it would be imperative to have a strong rushing program during spring semesters due to the downward trend of enroll ment. A tentative plan for a Greek Week program was submitted to the council by Wengert. Frater nity representatives were asked by Wengert to take a "strawvote" in their fraternities as to the possi bility of such a program. The proposed week would be gin Sunday, March 30 with a con vocation program in Schwab Aud itorium. A nationally known speaker and the finals in the IFC- Pan-Hel sing would be heard at that.time.

Book Plan Approved By Senate The College Senate has passed a four point •measure regulating changes which can be made in student textbooks. The regulation differs slightly from a similar measure sent to the Council of Administration by a faculty-ad ministration committee. The chief points of the measure as passed by the Senate are: 1. Instructors have the right to select textbooks used in their courses. In courses _running to more than one section, members of the department, shall decide on textbooks. The same books shall be used in all sections. Instructor's Job 2: The titles, authors, and pub lishers of• books to be used shall be reported to the book stores, the dean, and the provost at least 60 days before the opening of the semester. 3. It is the responsibility of the instructor to use the best possible book commensurate with the stu dent's ability to pay. By using second hand books, book costs can be reduced. These are avail able only when books are used for more than one semester; therefore changes which do not result in significant improve ments should be avoided. Students should be required to purchase only books which will (Continued on page eight) 8 Debaters Enter Seton Hill Tourney Eight members of the men's debate team will leave State Col lege today to participate in the first Seton Hill Debate Tourna ment. at Seton Hill College, Greensburg.
