AIM Approves
Initial Plans
For Dance
The board of -governors of the
Association of Independent Men
last night set in motion plans for
an independent - sponsored spring
dance April 19.
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."
A total of $199.05 has been de
posited in the AIM account for
the fire victims, Ray Evert, treas
urer of the board, said, but em
phasized the funds did not belong
in the AIM account and would
be withdrawn.
MoYlan Mills, editor of the In
dependent, reported that the AIM
sponsored' publication would prob
ably cost $136 for the semester.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1952
Didn't Know List
This year's Campus Chest drive
included 'the • March of Dimes
among its beneficiaries. 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."
Handed Over $395
Dr. Arthur Harnett, professor
of health - education, said he in
formed Klisanin and Rev. Luther
Harshbarger, College chaplain,
last- year. of the, foundation's
p o l i c y.. 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.
Included Despite PoliCy
Klisanin said a letter was sent
to . the foundation asking if they
wished to be included in this
year's chest drive. When no reply
was received, Klisanin said, All-,
College Cabinet voted to include
the March of Dimes in the chest
drive. .
The. March of Dimes was in.
eluded on the basis that money
from last year's drive was ac
cepted,' :despite national • policy,
Klisanin indicated. He said last
year's cabinet knew of the foun
dation's policy ruling out con
solidated drives but added he was
not sure. whether the present
cabinet knew of the ruling or not.

Lowenfeld
Says Art
Is Tolerant
Opening the Liberal Arts lec
ture series last night, Dr. Viktor
Lowenfeld told his audience that
never before has art been so tol
erant as it is today.
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

Trustees View
Sorority Houses
As a Possibility
The board of trustees of the College is "not unfriendly" toward
renting or building sorority houses at Penn State, but such a pro
gram must of necessity be a long range one, Marilyn Levitt, president
of the Panhellenic Council, told All-College Cabinet at its final
meeting of the semester last nigh
The trustees specified how
agreed upon must be submitted
At the present time, Miss Le
vitt said, no sorority on campus
is ready to build a house. 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.

IFC Sets Date
For Extending
Bids to Frosh
By TED SOENS
The InterfrAternity Council last
night decided on , , Saturday, Feb.
16 at 8 a.m. as the earliest date
that fraternities could extend bids
to second semester freshmen.
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.
Monday, March • 31—Alumni
smokers in individual fraternities.
Tuesday, April -I—faculty and
student teas.
Wednesday, April 2—An all
pledge banquet at the Nittany
Lion Inn, with one or two pledges
attending from each ' fraternity.
Also exchange dinners at the fra
ternities.
Thursday afternoon, April 3
IFC project day. The evening
would be an open date • so fra
ternities could prepare for Sat,-
urday.
Friday, April 4—IFC-Pan-Hel
ball.'
Saturday, April s—House par
ies.
To add color to the week it was
suggested that the pledges be re
quired to wear something of dis
tinction like an orange dink. The
Greek Weeks at Harvard were
cited as examples. At such a time
all pledges are required to wear
top hats.and carry canes.

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
