Proves Chest Claim
Campus Chest officials yesterday produced a check for $382.33,
paid last April 16 to the March of Dimes, to prove money from last
year’s Chest drive has been allocated to that organization.
The action came as a result of a statement last month by Prof.
Evan Johnson, chairman of the State College drive committee, that
his group did not accept any funds
from last year’s Chest drive.
Johnson said at the time that it
was against the policy of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis for the group to accept
money from . joint. fund raising
campaigns.

Must Be Returned
Coming on the heels of the
check’s release was Mrs. Balser
Weber’s announcement that the
money will be returned to the
Campus Chest as soon as funds
secured in this year’s March of
Dimes are available. Mrs. Weber
is Centre County drive chairman.
Mrs. Weber said the county
group accepted the check because
it was anonymous in nature, but
said the money must now be re
turned because the group cannot
accept funds from joint fund rais
ing campaigns. The Campus Chest
combines several drives into one
on campus.
Johnson said he did not know
the money had been given to the
county group until William Klis
anin, Campus Chest chairman,
showed him the check yesterday
afternoon. Johnson said on Jan. 9
that the money was not accepted
last year and added that money
from this year’s Chest drive could
not be accepted because of the
national ruling.
Sends Letter
Klisanin said he was aware of
the national ruling, adding that
the March of Dimes was included
among Chest beneficiaries because
the money 'was accepted last year.
Klisanin said a letter was sent
to the organization this year, ask
ing if it wished to be included
in the drive, and no rejection was
received/
The check, signed by Herbert
Axford, last year’s drive chair
man, was endorsed by Mrs. Weber
and John H. Truby, who is also
associated with the group. It was

schools may contact her for an
appointment to appear before the
board, which will decide if the
cases warrant customs’ immun
ity.
. At a special Tribunal meeting
last night, seven freshmen were
granted exemptions from cus
toms. Four were given immunity
because they had attended other
schools which had customs- regu
lations.
Two were given exemptions
because they were veterans an<i
one because he was over 21.
A definite date for the end of
men’s customs has not yet been
decided upon, but according to
Miss Yerger, women’s customs
will end Feb. 24.
Women’s customs remain un
changed from last semester.
Men’s customs are also un
changed except for the addition
of special meetings with hatmen
at which the frosh will be ques
tioned on customs rules and led
in cheers and songs. The first
such meeting had been scheduled
for tomorrow night, but has been
postponed until Monday.
Committee
To Report
On Salaries
The members of College Em
ployees Local 67 will meet to
night to hear a report from a com
mittee which conferred with
President Milton S. Eisenhower
on the College’s salary increase
program.
The union, which claims to rep
resent about 500 of the College’s
1800 non-academic employees,
has. protested' against the Col
lege’s present policy of increasing
salaries on the merit basis. The
union has asked for a $5O a
month across-the-board increase
for all non-academic employes.
The committee met with Presi
dent Eisenhower Saturday fol
lowing an address by the Presi
dent to the employees. Monday
the President issued a statement
summarizing the College’s wage
policy and program.
_ Although there were no indica
tions what the committee would
report to the union membership,
it was not expected that they
would have much more to say
than what was included in the
President’s statement.
The meeting will be held at 8
p.m. in the Odd Fellows Hall in
State College..
Campus Parking Solution
Discussed by Wiegand
Stating that the ultimate goal is to give a campus parking space
for all those who want to park there, Walter Weigand, director of
the physical plant, outlined the College parking problem and dis
cussed possible solutions at the Dean of Men’s student advisory board
meeting last night in Old Main.
Wiegand told the student leaders of the various campus groups
that at the present time It was im
possible for all persons having
cars to park on campus and that
some restrictions are necessary
until the College can reach the
“ultimate, ”
The all-College committee made
up of Chairman Wiegand, a mem
ber of Milton S. Eisenhower’s
adivsory council, deans of various
schools and student representa
tive David Mutchler has reached
no definite solutions to the prob
lems but came up with a possible
solution.
That possible solution, Wiegand
said, a stop-gap measure until all
the planned parking lot additions
and enlargements can be com
pleted, is that only commuting,
disabled and on-campus car own
ers will be permitted to park on
campus.
Constrict Circle
Commuters, Wiegand said,
would be considered as those out
side an imaginery circle which is
to be drawn around and through
sections of the borough of State
College.
Wiegand declared that the plan
was to continually constrict this
circle as parking space was in
creased until the imaginary circle
had been drawn up to the campus.
Major Sore
Restrictions have also been pro
posed for faculty and staff mem
bers, Wiegand said. Staff curtail
ment of parking would take the
form of a quota issued to the
heads of each school who would
decide those who were permitted
campus parking.
Wiegand listed one of the ma
jor sores in the parking problem
as the jamming up of convenient
areas such as the lots between
Grange and Temporary building,
the lot behind Osmond and the
Engineering building lots. •

Panhel Asks
Co-Chairmen
For Dance
Panhellenic Council last
night unanimously refused to
sign an agreement giving In
terfraternity Council sole
chairmanship of the IFC-Pan
tiel ball.
The council, however, did not
close the door to further nego
tiations. It recommended by a 16-3
vote that IFC president Stanley
Wengert, who presented the pro
posal, suggest to the IFC execu
tive committee that Panhel re
tain its present unpaid co-chair
manship.
The agreement also calls for
three fourths of the profits to go
to IFC and one fourth to Panhel
in proportion to the amount of
money contributed by fraternities
and sororities.
IFC VP Chairman
If the profits of the dance are
sufficient, the proposal states, the
dance chairman shall be compen
sated along with the other com
mittee members.
According to the new proposal,
the IFC vice-president would be
chairman of the dance and would
be assisted by a member of Pan
hel and two other IFC repre
sentatives.
Wengert said he will take the
Panhel recommendations to the
IFC executive committee for re
consideration.
Claims Concessions
Previously Panhel had gone on
record against the proposal at its
recent workshop. Wengert went
before the council in an attempt
to clear up several points in the
agreement.
Wengert told the Daily Colle
gian last night that the new agree
ment represented concessions by
the IFC. He said that under the
new agreement the Panhel mem
ber of the ball committee would
be paid the same compensation
given to IFC members of the
group. Last year, he said, the
Panhel representative was not
paid.
He also said that under last
year’s agreement two IFC officers
were paid from the profits of the
dance. Under this agreement, he
said, these officers would be paid
from IFC’s share of the profits.
Mil Bail
Tax Lien
Removed
The Department of Internal
Revenue has ruled that the tax
lien charged to the Pennsylvania
State College Military Ball com
mittee need not be paid. The lien
had been levied Nov. 7 for aN
leged admission taxes at previous
Military Balls.
The decision was passed after
Lt. Walter D. Chadwick, Navy
adviser to the committee named
in the lien action, appealed to the
Navy judge advocate’s office iri
Washington.
A compensation payment, made
by the committee to the Scranton
office of the revenue bureau, from
assets held by the committee has
been returned and settlement has'
been made.
. The lien, for $1585.43, includ
ing a penalty assessed at a later
date, was called an unnecessary
assessment by the Washington
office.
Lt. Cmdr. Richard N. Billings
called the assessment as case of
people in the field not knowing
what the rules are.” He termed
the outcome “satisfactory. 1 *
