NCAA Defeats Bap
On Spring Practice
A proposal to ban out-of-season practices, including spring foot
ball; which had been strongly advocated by Penn State the last few
months, was defeated at the final meeting of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association Saturday. The vote was 113-54.
The NCAA did, however, vote to limit spring football and out-of
season basketball practice, restricting drills to 20 sessions in 30 days.
Pollock Dorms
Will Undergo
Wide Repairs
Repairs -in Pollock Circle dor
mitories will be undertaken by
„_the College to make possible their
use for two or three more years
while long term planning is he
wing conducted for- the construc
tion of new permanent dormi
tories to replace them, according
to Walter H. Wiegand, director
of physical plant.
The new dormitories, which
will probably'be of cheaper con
■ struction than the West Dormi
tories, will house 1000 men stu
dents.
The 14 units that form Pollock
Circle were moved to. the cam
pus in 1946 from Maryland to
provide housing for 840' students
v arid were exp'ected to be used for
'a period not to exceed five years.
The continuing capacity enroll
ment on campus forced College
officials to use -these units to
meet the student housing need.
At present 13 of , the buildings
are in operation' with facilities
for 769 men.
Wiegand explained that these
units cannot be operated effi
ciently until such repairs as
painting of interiors and exter
iors, restoration of flooring and
supporting members, and re
placements of furnaces and hot
water heating. units in some of
the units are .completed.

-Bowl games, basketball tourna
ments, and other post season
games will be allowed for at least
one more year. A committee was
appointed, to study such games
with a report to be given at the
next" convention.
The convention also adopted a
constitutional - amendment that
all. aid to athletes must be ad
ministered’by the institution. This
will require all funds donated by
the alumni be given to the insti
tutions.
Harold R. Gilbert, graduate
manager of Penh State athletics,
said he. thought only the limit on
spring football and basketball
practice and the new amendment
would have a. direct effect on
Penn State athletics.
Defies Presidents
The Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference, of which Penn State
is a member, had already taken a
stand against bowl games.
The action taken by the NCAA
limiting spring practices and the
bowl games defied the program
that had been presented by the
committee of college presidents
sponsored by the American Coun
cil on Education. The presidents’
committee had called for elimi
nation of both out-of-season prac
tices and bowl games. '
Hugh" Willett was reelected
president of the NCAA for a third
term and Earl Holbrook of Ne
braska was elected secretary
treasurer.

Sorority Heads Favor
Construction of Houses
By MIMI UNGAR
and LYNN KAHANOWITZ
Thel construction of sorority
houses as a long-term plan was
favored by 15 of the 19 sorority
presidents polled by the' Daily
Collegian.
Two presidents opposed the
idea while one qualified her neg
ative answer by saying that she
would rather see sorority enter
tainment facilities. One other
president felt that she would
have to look into the question
more fully before giving an an
swer.
Nine of the 14 sorority advisers
available for comment opposed
the measure. There were five ad
visers who thought that sorority
houses might -be a good idea in
the future when construction and
finances are not so tight.

A leader of the. Women’s Frat
ernity .Council advisers’, group,
said ’that ...there .is ho' heed for
houses, since the suites are very

Arabs Favor
Russia Says
Carlson
By LYNN KAHANOWITZ
Quoting an Arab parable that
an enemy of your enemy must be
your friend, John Roy Carlson,
author and undercover investi
gator, explained why the Arab
nations were favoring Russia.
The Greek born American citi
zen told the near capacity Hillel
Forum audience last night that if
the United States and Russia
should go to the war, the Arab
states would remain neutral but
aid Russia.
Carlson said that the fanatic
Communist left and fanatic Arab
right were meeting on the com
mon ground of hatred of the
West, of Israel, and of democ
racy.
Communism is making great
inroads in the Middle East be
cause of the absence of the middle
class, Carlson said. Seventeen out
of 19 million Egyptians live in
undescribable squalor, he said
adding they are born, live and
die in disease. Yet Egyptian King"
Farouk squandered, hundreds- of
thousands of dollars at the gamb
ling tables of Europe during his
honeymoon while his people were
dying at home, Carlson said.
Farouk, Carlson cited, is the
symbol of the ruling class whose

ton said that if the trustees ap
prove sorority houses she will
favor them. The dean added that
the present setup has been a good
one.
A leader of Panhellenie Coun
cil, student group representing
the 19 sororities on campus, be
lieves that houses are needed for
a strong sorority system. She said
that each group should be per
mitted to bui 1 d. as it' has the
money, and that operating houses
would be good experience for the
girls. .
Long Range Policy
'Even though 11 presidents said
they would prefer waiting to
build until all groups are ready,
many added that this would be
impractical since some groups
may not accumulate the neces
sary funds for a long time.
All. presidents and advisers
agreed that this must be a long
range policy. Most said it would
take from five ’to ten years be
fore any houses could be built.
Besides the .time necessary for
planning, the sorority leaders
said- the present curtailment of
building materials as well as fi
nancial unpreparedness would
’ENN STATE
Frosh to Face
Full Customs
With
Incoming freshmen will be subject to a full set of customs, much
the same as those established for last September’s freshman class.
The only major addition to the program is a plan which will re
quire all frosh men to meet at specific places on campus at least once
a week. At these meetings hatmen will question the new stu
dents on customs rules and lead them in cheers and songs.
According to David Mutchler,
Tribunal chairman, no formal co
ordination between men’s and
women’s.customs has been organ
ized, but there is a possibility
that this may come later.
Few. Frosh Expected
No complete figures on the
number of freshmen expected
have been made available. The
admissions office revealed yes
terday that 50 men and 35 wo
men have been definitely enrolled
so far, but indicated that a good
many enrollment fees had been
received which had not yet been
entered in the total .•
Mutchler said that because there
will be so few frosh on the cam
pus it will be difficult to keep
checking on them. He asked that
upperclassmen and hatmen liv
ing in the dorms with freshmen
cooperate in enforcing customs.
The frosh men will be housed in
the Nittany Dorms.
To Wear Cards
No date has been Set for the
start of customs, but it will prob
ably be the first day of classes.
No decision has been made, either,
on the length of customs, but
Mutchler said -they ' would be
kept short.
Frosh men will be required to
wear green dinks, black bow ties,
ahd five by eight inch cards
with their names, hometowns,
and curricula listed. Frosh wo
men must wear green bows in
their hair and the same type
namecards as the men.
The frosh will be required to
buy their customs at the Book
Exchange, where their names will
be checked off a master list.
Price Elected Head
John Price was elected presi
dent of Thespians at a meeting
Sunday night.
Other new officers are Richard
Brugger, vice-president; William
Elmore, secretary; Jack Long
necker, treasurer; Marc Kimel
man, historian; and Carrol Chap
man, member at large.
cause much delay.
The campus was the preference
of 16. of the presidents for the
location of the houses.. One presi
dent said she would prefer hav
ing them built in town if a near
by area could be obtained.
Some presidents suggested lim
iting the amount of money that
could be spent on each house.
One adviser proposed a limita
tion on the.number of cubic feet
per house while another pro
posed building uniform houses.
Another adviser proposed having
larger suites, with the sororities
taking care of their own food.-
Many advisers pointed out that
sorority houses would destroy
the equal basis upon which sor
orities now exist. They said that
rushing would not be run as
fairly as it is under the status
quo;
Another adviser pointed out
that the sorority house question
is one for women’s fraternity
counselors to settle. She also
pointed out that National Pan
hellenic Conference is consider
ing a proposal pertaining to the
building of. sorority houses on
campuses where they are not yet
found.

Parking Ends
This Weekend
Beginning Saturday, parking
along Pollock r'o a d from Bur
rowes to Shortlidge roads will
be prohibited at all times, Walter
H. Wiegand, physical plant direc
tor, said yesterday.
The action was taken upon the
recommendation of the College
traffic committee, he said. Until
Saturday parking will be per
mitted along the north curb af
ter 5:30 p.m.
The decision was reached fol
lowing a discussion of the traf
fic hazard that parking along one
curb creates for two-way traf
fic. Wiegand pointed out that
during the winter months, when
the road is slippery and cannot
be plowed" from curb to curb,
the hazard is increased.
The new parking plan comes
shortly after an announcement
by Wiegand that the committee
is considering plans that would
sharply curtail student driving
on campus. He said at that time
that campus parking was a big
problem, citing that there are
4000 student, staff, and faculty
cars and only 2500 parking spaces.
