donations yesterday by sending requests to about 70 student groups.

WD Lounge
Use Denied
To Clubs
Permission for student organ
izations to use lounges and rec
reation facilities in Hamilton, Ir
vin and McKee Halls was refused
by the West Dorm Council Mon
day night.
If the lounges are open for
meetings of organizations there
may be a violation of the West
Dorm dating code, Robert Solo
men, dating code committee chair
man, said. Under the dating code,
women are only permitted in the
Hamilton, Irvin, and McKee
lounges and Hamilton and McKee
recreation rooms Friday and Sat
urday nights and Sunday after
noons.
• Robert Hance, council presi
dent, said there are to be no meet
ings in the lounges except floor
meetings or meetings of the coun
cil without consent of the council.
Action 'Necessary'
The action came after Hance
received a letter from Ronald
Steif, president of the Poultry
Club, asking for the Hamilton
lounge and recreation room' from
7 to 10 p.m. tomorrow. A letter
explaining the action of the coun
cil was sent to the Poultry Club.
The council felt the action was
necessary to prevent the lounges
and recreation rooms from being
occupied every night by organ
izations, thus not permitting dor
mitory students to use the lounge
facilities.
Sheet distribution for area stu
dents will start at 10 a.m. instead
of 8 a.m. Monday, Joseph Somers,
housing committee chairman,
reported.
A committee to investigate the
possibilities of having a television
set installed in the main West
Dorm lounge was 'set up by the
council.
Extend Deadline
A jazz concert will be held in
the main West Dorm lounge after
the basketball game from 9:30
p.m. to midnight Dec. 12, George
Forsyth, social committee chair
man, announced. A Christmas par
ty will be held in the main lounge
from 9 p.m. to midnight Dec. 13,
Forsyth said. Only couples will be
admitted upon showing their meal
ticket and matric card, he said.
Joey Frank's orchestra will play.
The social committee will meet
at 7 tonight in 127 Hamilton, For
syth said.
The council set the deadline for
nominations of representatives at
large to the Association of Inde
pendent Men's Board of Governors
for 5 p.m. Friday. The deadline
was set after only two nomina
tions were filed with the elections
committee.
Campus Chest

The Campus Chest total in
creased $5OO yesterday over Mon
day's total of $6400, according to
Joseph Haines, student solicita
tions chairman. The drive closed
Nov. 22.
The new total of $6900 repre
sented an increase of $4OO from
student contributions and an in
crease of $lOO from faculty-ad
ministration contributions.
Complete returns are not yet
available for tabulation of stu
dent contributions, Haines said.
He repeated his request that soli
citors who have not turned in all
International Business Machine
cards for student pledges should
do so. The cards should be re
turned whether or not the stu
dents have been contacted, he
said, as the cards are needed to
complete tabulation.

The Penn St ate Scholarship
Fund listed among the Campus

contributions be turned in by Dec.

would be accepted after that date.
Organizations that wish to con

a $25 scholarship. The fund was
given a principal of $lOOO from
the 1951 Spring Carnival when
it' was set up. The principal is
now about $llOO.
Hay said the committee is hop
ing to add to the principal so
that a few small scholarships may
be given in the spring and that
in a few years a number of $lOO
stipends may be given each spring.
The scholarship fund is spon
sored by All-College Cabinet.
Tribunal Hears
25 Parking
Violation Cases

night of infractions of campus
traffic and parking regulations.
A total of $2O in fines was col
lected.
A 'second offender was fined
$2 for illegal parking in the Min-1
eral Industries service drive. The
driver has a permit for a parking
area next to the Temporary Class
rooin Buildings. The student pro
tested that he was susceptible to
colds and had to walk in the
rain to his classes on 'center cain
pus and asked that he be allowed
to exchange parking permits with
a friend who attends classes on
Ag Hill but has a parking permit
for an area behind Sigma Chi.
James Schulte, Tribunal chair
man, explained that according to
present regulations such an ex
change could not be made without
the permission of Captain Philip
A. Mark and the Campus Patrol.
Fourteen students without driv
ing permits pleaded guilty to
driving on campus during school
hours during the rainy period
from Nov. 21-23. Schulte warned
that campus regulations still ap
ply during inclement weather.
Offenders were each fined $l.
A car owner received a $1 sus
pended sentence for illegal park
ing. He reported he loaned the
car to a friend who incurred the
violation. The fine was suspended
because the car is no longer on
campus.
One case involving an infraction
by a graduate student was dis
missed. Tribunal has jurisdiction
only over undergraduates at the
College. Two other cases were
dismissed because of insufficient
evidence.

JOSE CARREIRO'S interest in snow snowballed when he re
cently saw , it for the first time. In his native land the only snow.
seen is either made in Hollywood or is out of reach on the
mountaintops.
Azores Student
Finds Ist Snow
'Not Very Cold'
Equipped with the first over
coat he's ever needed, Jose F. T.
Carreire, exchange student from
the Azores Islands, witnessed his
first snowfall during the Thanks
giving vacation.
His report: "It's "very beauti
ful," it's not' as cold as expected,
and it is worth writing home
about. Jose wrote his parents
about snow, which he had pre
viously seen only on mountain
tops and in the movies: about 14
degree weather, which he exper
ienced in Northwestern Pennsyl
vania during the vacation period:
and about sleighriding.
Surprised that the snow is "not
very cold," Jose is looking for
ward to one or two feet at it.
And now Jose too is "dreaming
of a white Christmas." Says he:
"Christmas without snow is not
Christmas."
Only thing that Jose doesn't
like about all this is the ice on
sidewalks and roads. But if there
must be ice, Jose will enjoy this
too. He's going ice-skating Sat
urday.
