Pollock Hints Fraternities
May Get Campus Land
Edward 0. Pollock, assistant dean of men in charge of
fraternity affairs, said yesterday there is a possibility that,
fraternities may be allotted plots of land on east and west
campus for future expansion.
Pollock said he had no idea of University plans for
land allotments to fraternities.
Eng Council
To Endorse
Bookstore
The Engineering Student Coun
cil voted Tuesday night to en
dorse a proposal in favor of a
university bookstore if the ques
tion comes before All-University
Cabinet.
The bookstore situation was
first discussed at Summer En
campment. The Business Admin
istration Student Council has also
voted in favor of the project.
The council decided to hold an
open house in the spring semester
and to disgard plans for a science
fair exhibition and an engineer
ing pamphlet.
William Shelly, freshman in
mechanical engineering from El
dred, made the motion to elimi
nate the exhibition and pamphlet.
He explained that the projects
would run into "a lot of money"
and be costly to the council's
treasury.
A coffee hour for students and
faculty members in the College
of Engineering and Architecture
was also set at the meeting. It
will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. to
day in 206 Electrical Engineering,
according to committee chairman
Karl Kirt.
John Bergey, senior in indus
trial engineering from Harleys
ville, reported on his trip to Chi
cago to receive an award on be
half of the college at the 18th
National Convention of the Indus
trial Management Society held
Nov. 9 to 11.
Mary Raup, sophomore in ap
plied arts from Jersey Shore, was
named at a meeting to represent
the council at the marriage coun
selor conference sponsored by the
University Christian Association.
Gene Shue, senior in industrial
engineering from York, was ap
pointed to the All-University
Cabinet Recreation Committee.
Phys Ed Group
To .Send Two
To Convention
The Physical Education Student
Council voted to send two repre-
Sentatives to the convention of
th e American Association of
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation at a council meeting
Monday night.
The two representatives will be
sponsored by the Centre County
Association. Council decided that
both representatives must have
completed their practice teaching
sessions since the convention will
deal principally with student
teaching.
Council also voted in favor of
a semi-formal dance to be held
by the Student Major Club of the
College of Physical Education
from 9-12 p.m., December 16 at
a local fraternity house. The fra
ternity will be named at a later
date.
The council will hold its first
faculty tea from 4-5 p.m. today
in McElwain Lounge. Approxi
mately 30 people—consisting of
both faculty members and physi
cal education majors—are expect
ed to attend the tea. "We hope
to have every physical education
major attend at least one of the
teas," Ann Farrell, president of
WRA, said.
The Student Major Club will
sponsor as its next student con
vocation a gymnastic exhibition
showing the progress of women
in the gymnastic field, Bill Seek
ingot., club president, announced.
The convocation will be under
the direction of Gene Wettstone,
head coach of the gymnastic team.
All physical education majors will
attend the convocation.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE . COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
However, since future Univer
sity expansion will be on the golf
course and east of the Nittany-
Pollock area, any allotment to
fraternities would probably be
made in these areas, Pollock said.
Interfraternity Council estab
lished a committee Monday night
to look into the possibilities of in
cluding fraternity expansion in
University expansion plans which
are now being drawn up.
The committee was directed to'
inform University officials that
fraternities wished to be included
in future expansion plans.
Houston Elam, senior in busi
neis administration from Lans
dale told IFC that all the land
in town which is within fraternity
building zones is bought up.
Therefore, Elam said, if frater
nities are to grow along with the
University, they will have to ob
tain building sites on University
property.
Elam, chairman of the expan
sion plan committee, said last
night he had not contacted any
University officials, but was plan
ning to do so in the next few
weeks.
After conducting inquiries into
future University aid possibilities,
the committee will report back to
IFC.
Elaborating on future expan
sion, Pollock said he favored set
ting aside parcels of land which
fraternities could use for expan
sion at a later date. The land
would be given out, he said, on
the basis of "first come first
served."
Pollock said if fraternities
could not expand in the future,
they would be reduced to a minor
ity group.
At present, fraternity men
comprise one-fourth of University
enrollment. If enrollment increas
es to the expected 20,000 without
a corresponding increase in frat
ernity men, the ratio would de
cline to approximately one-tenth.
Rice Will Direct
Scene From Play
Betty Rice, senior in arts and
letters from State College, will
direct a scene from "The Living
Room" for the Director's Theater
at 5 p.m. today in the Little Thea
ter in the basement of Old Main.
The play by Graham Green is
a drama about a girl who is torn
between love and the laws of the
church.
Included in the cast are Kath
ryn Kelleher as Rose, Paul Talley
as James the Priest, and Grace
Bonnert as Teresa.
Condition Fair
The condition of Mrs. Betty W.
Vinson of State College remained
fair at the Philipsburg State Hos
pital today. She was injured ser
iously in an accident in Philips
burg Sunday in which her hus
band, Kaye W., was fatally in
jured.
Archaeology
Exhibition
Will Open
An exhibit relating to the three
archaeology courses offered at the
University will go on display to
morrow in a showcase in Sparks
lobby.
A general liberal arts display
of writings of faculty members
will be exhibited in another
showcase at a later date.
Dr. Frederick R. Matson, pro
fessor of archaeology who has re
cently returned from excavating
in the Near East, is in charge of
the display entitled "Archaeology
at Penn State."
Dr. Matson will display some
of the archaeological tools which
he uses in his field work. One
shelf will be devoted to the arch
aeology of Europe and Egypt and
will contain stone tools and, wea
-1 pons 20,000 to 50,000 years ago,
and a piece of wood from an
Egyptian mummy case dating
back to the 20th dynasty, and an
arrowhead from 4000 B.C.
War clubs, pottery fragments,
and arrowheads of the North
American Indian will also be dis
played.
A third shelf will contain man
made pottery from Jarmo, the ear
liest village site known to man,
and stone microlith tools, and
small flint tools used for scrap
ing and cutting.
A brick with cuniform inscrip
tions described as mostly self ad
vertising for the Babylon kings,
glass fragments from Selucia, the
Hellenistic capitol of the Near
East, and Arabian glazed pottery
up until 12000 A.D. will also be
shown.
Dr. Matson said the exhibits
will probably be changed every
month.
Big Sister System
May Be Adopted
The possibility of inaugurating
a "big sister" system for freshman
women was discussed by Fresh
man Council Tuesday night.
Under the proposed plan each
freshman woman would be coun
seled by an upperclasswoman.
The council decided such a pro
gram would assist freshmen in
adjusting to University life.
Revisions of the election of
dormitory unit officers and fresh
man senators to WSGA were con
sidered. Nominations, speeches,
and campaigns were suggested,
but no decision was reached.
DeMolay Club Will Meet
The Penn State DeMolay Club
will meet at 7 tonight in 102 Wil
lard.

Requests for release from
the housing and food service
contracts from students of third
semester standing or higher
now living in the Nittany
and Pollock Circle residence
halls will be accepted until
5 p.m. Jan. 4 at the room as

Nittany 20.
AIM Again Debates
Collegian Circulation
The matter of insufficient circulation of the Daily Col
legian once more came up at the meeting of the Association
of Independent Men's Board of Governors last night.
Ross rehmairi, assistant secretary of the Alumni Associa
tion, and a member of Collegian Incorporated, the publisher ,
of the Collegian, was present at
the meeting and answered all
questions that the board had
about the workings of the Col
legian.
Bruce Lieske, AIM president,
began discussion of the topic
when he reported that his motion
to All-University Cabinet last
week concerning the formation of
a committee to look. into the pos
sibility of increasing Collegian
circulation was defeated.
Lieske said that Cabinet felt
that he best way to investigate
such • possibilities was to go di
rectly to •Business Manager of
Collegian and see exactly what
circulation policies are presently
in use and what chance of a
change is possible.
Lehman, a former Collegian
editor, answered various queries
from the board about the profit
made by Collegian and about the
feasibility of having more Colle
gians printed.
Lehman pointed out that Colle
gian, must keep some reserve in
order to keep up maintenance and
to provide for possible expansion
in future years.
However, some of the questions
strayed off the original topic and
began to delve into the questions
of who makes the policy of the
paper and how the new senior
boards are chosen.
The board of governors finally
voted to discuss the matter in
executive session at the next
meeting.
Harold Dean, AIM social chair
man, reported that he discussed
the matter of turning the ball
room of the Hetzel Union building
into a "nightclub" on weekends
for the social entertainment of
independent students, with George
Donovan, manager of Associated
Student Activities.
Dean said that he and Dono
van both agreed that the idea had
merit but that it would have to
be held in the Terrace Room ra
ther than in• the ballroom. Dean
said that he felt that the ballroom
would not lend as 'much to the
"nightclub" atmosphere as would
the, Terrace Room. The board
agreed to this revision in plans.
Two Outing Club
Divisions to Meet
The field and stream and cabin
and trail divisions of the Penn
State Outing Club will meet at
7:30 tonight in 317 Willard.
A deer-hunting drive will be

Outing Club will be discussed.
A movie, "Story of the Canadian
Pine" will be shown.
First limestone rock used to
construct the original Old Main
building at the Penn • State Uni
versity was laid August 18, 1856.
Between 1913 and 19 3 0, 1000
acres were added to University
farms.

Ag Council
Approves
Constitution
A revised agriculture student
council constitution was read for
the second time and approved at
the council meeting Tuesday.
The new constitution, embody
ing only minor changes from the
previous one, will go into effect
at once.
Under new constitution, the
time limit for the 18 agriculture
member clubs to elect representa
tives to the council has been ex
tended. The by-laws that have
been added from time to time to
the old constitution, were placed
in the body of the new consti
tution.
Carl Relater, chairman of the
Ag Hill Party, reported approxi
mately 1480 tickets were sold for
the affair.
Darwin Braund, chairman of
the faculty evaluation test com
mittee, reported the questionnaire
has received the approval of Rob
ert B. -Dickerson, Associate dean
of the College of Agriculture. The
program has been sent to the
department heads of the College
of Agriculture for their final ap
proval before it can be carried
out, Braund said.
The council discussed plans to
hold a coffee - hour Dec. 12 from
3:30 to 5 p.m. The location has not
been decided. Council president
Fred Seipt said that extension
workers who will be on the cam
pus at that time for a conference
have been invited to the affair.
This will give students a chance
to meet their county agents and
extension workers, Seipt said.
The next meeting of the coun
cil will be held Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.
Schools Lauded
At Conference
WASHINGTON UPl—Delegates to
the White House Conference on
Education were in agreement to
day that the nation's schools "are
doing the best job in their his
tory' in teaching the three R's.
But they agreed too that "im
provement is desirable and neces
sary." . .
A number of the 1,800 participat
ing delegates—some others are
sitting in only as observers
grumbled that the first of the giant
conference's reports last night was
too generalized.
There were those who thought
the delegates should have given
solid backing to modern theories
that emphasize adapting the child
to his surroundings.
