Glenn, director of the' College Health Service, re ported yesterday. Many cases of the disease, which he termed grippe, have filled all the regular beds and several ex tras; he said. He added,-however, that the condition is not serious and facilities are still operational. No ailing students' G o'll eg e health officials would normally put to bed were turned away, he said. Students did report yester day with mild cases and tem peratures and were told to go to their rooms and stay there. Their absence from classes will, not be officially excused, he said. Thirty-eight beds were filled in the 30 bed-capacity Infirmary yes terday. Extra-beds had been moved in from nearby women’s dormitories. A general doublihg up of beds in rooms has been necessary. Glenn said earlier he believed the diseas’d was probably the grippe, and not influenza. The ill ness has symptoms of chills. and aching muscles. Because the dis ease is a contact disease, no pre cautions will prevent the disease since students contact -each other daily in classes. Students suffer for three to four days he said, and are released from the Infirmary 24 hours, after their temperature goes down. Town Council Receives New Constitution • A new constitution that would require, election. of all represen- ward votes, and elect executive. committee members in the spring, - was ~ introduced for the first time to Town Council last night. Thomas Kidd, a member of the constitutional committee, > said the changes were in line with - a hew policy to be. carried, o.ut • by; the Cabinet Projects' Council to" ex amine the constitutions of cam pus organizations and streamline them. Kidd submitted the consti tution to the council. According to the proposed con stitution, students wishing to be come a ward representative must submit a petition signed by a des ignated number of students liv ing in his ward. Kidd declared this would eliminate apathy in town council elections. Previously, students wishing to become mem bers of the council nominated themselves. The plan for spring election of members of the executive commit tee. the president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, was passed by. a straw vote. It was argued that the plan would give •be council a head start in setting up an organization at the begin tuug of .the' fall 1 semester. ' The constitution must be read agaut before action can be taken on it. TODAY'S WEATHEH i CLOUDY WITH SNOW STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11, .1953 Dr. Elburi Osborn New MI dean Mark Sees Parking Situation Unchanged .Surveys of. the parking situation on campus show no changes of parking space between semesters, Capt. Philip A. Mark has stated. Permits will be issued, to students filling the requirements of the parking plan, but the remaining spaces are in remote areas of the campus, om lots 50, 72, and 73. Mark expressed the opinion that the number of spaces vacated by graduates and the number of new permits '“issued, are , nearly the same; He said," “We dire trying'to' take • care of everyone who de serves a permit.” ■ Students who have-moved in side the commuting boundry and have permits issued to them when they lived outside the line are no • longer entitled to them. Mark admitted that the Campus Patrol cannot, check all students’addres ses to determine ' whether they are still entitled to. a permit, but added that the illegal - permits should be removed. , The Campus Patrol reported to Tribunal 1115 parking . violations for -the. fall semester. Approxi mately another 1000 violations were reported against staff mem bers and an additional 1000 against “visitors,” cars without permits and not owned by stu dents. , These t«i cke t s, according to Mark, were issued on-routine pa trol, and no special campaign was conducted. Although 1115 is - a large number of tickets, the total is not great’ considering the large number, .of students enrolled, Mark said. That is a rate' of one violation for every ten students. ..' Violations by staff members are reported'to department heads for action. Mark said the staff “is as bad as -the students, and in some cases, worse.” He noted that the only difference between staff members and students is a few years of age. Apparently, both like to park near their classes. Students who live outside the line ' designated for commuters, about seven blocks from campus, are eligible for permits in areas with vacancies. Students with physical handicaps certified by the College Health Service may also receive permits.

UN Korean Action Seen Essential by Cordier Interview on page two The Korean episode is a vast expression of common interest, common collaboration, and com mon sacrifice - essential for the success of a group such as the United Nations, Dr. Andrew W. Cordier told more than 200 stu dents, faculty members, and vis itors last night. People of the United States have had some resentment about the United Nations because of the Korean action, .Dr. Cordier said, but if the United States and the other UN countries had not taken that action, “we would be. in more serious problems.” Dr. Cordier is executive assis tant to the secretary general of the UN. In a post-question period com ment, Dr, Cordier said he was “worried about the fear present in this country today.” “We may be fearing ourselves into World War III,” he said. He added that these fears are fre quently unnecessary, for “there are few. enemies among us.” " “The time is too short to spend time in hunting enemies,” Dr. Cordier said. “We must look for collaborators in a plan for world peace. We should be strong arid, calm ,and serene rather than fear ful and afraid,” he said. Speaking of the recent action of. President. Dwight D. Eisen- Dr. Edward Steidle, dean of the School of Mineral In dustries for 25 years, : will retire with emeritus rank June 30, President Milton S. Eisenhower announced yesterday. He will be succeeded by Dr. Elburt F. Osborn, associate dean of the school. It was through- the effor School of Mining and Metalli into the present School of Min eral Industries, which the Dean dedicated to. the principles of “diligent search for mineral truth, and the energetic discovery, com plete extraction, and maximum utilization of our irreplaceable mineral resources.” Research Program Active Since Dean Steidle’s appoint ment to the College in 1928, the undergraduate enrollment of the school has increased from 144 to a peak of 590 and graduate enroll ment from none to 170: There are now 4000. students enrolled per year in extension training as com pared with 300 25 years ago, 1400 in correspondence courses as com pared to none, and more than 200 staff members as compared to 15. The research program, which had no projects underway in 1928, now includes some 100 approved projects. At the. College, Dean Steidle organized the only mineral industries art gallery in the world. Dean ' Steidle was graduated from the College in 1911 with a degree in mining, had the techni cal degree of Engineer of Mines confered upon him by the Col lege in 1914, and received a doc tor of science degree from Alfred University in 1943. On Carnegie Tech Faculty The dean held various mining and engineering positions in the United States and Canada until World War I, when he served as a captain in command of the Ist Battalion, Ist Gas Regiment,/First Army in France. He was wound ed and cited for service. Returning in 1919, he was ap pointed to the faculty of Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he organized a cooperative research fellowship program before com ing to the College in 1928.

She said the reduction in guest fees for weekend visits to dormi tories from $1.50 per night to 75 cents, if only clean sheets are ordered, eliminates most financial problems of the women student teachers. However, the council passed a resolution to request the head of women’s housing to draw up a mimeographed sheet of regula tions concerning all phases of housing to be sent to prospective student teachers.. Edward Crossley, chairman of the projects committee, will, in vestigate the possibility of having the drawing for elementary edu cation teaching assignments be fore the women sign up for dor mitory rooms in the spring. This will coordinate the Education school and the department of housing and eliminate confusion. Council reconsidered and ac cepted the recommendation from the Infer-Student Council Board that all schools hold a joint open house May 2 since learning that the purpose is to interest more and better high school students in the College. It will recommend to the board that the open house be held in the fall, as most high school sen iors have already been accepted by a college in May.
