To Discuss Pro
The Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs yesterday approved a
- written request to hear a repre
sentative of the Interfraternity
Council at its regularly-scheduled
meeting Wednesday morning.
Either Robert Bullock, lEC
president, or Daniel Land, presi
dent-elect who will be installed

night, will appear before the
Committee to discuss further the
Committee's action to place three

Fall Below 2.0 Average
The Committee placed Delta
Tau Delta, Pi Kappa Phi, and
Lambda Phi on probation Mon
day for falling below an All- Uni
versity 2.0 average the past sem
ester.
The Committee said its reason
for making the move was "not
particularty because the three
fraternities were at the bottom of
the list among University fra
ternities, but because they fell
below the average required for
graduation from ,the University.
The Committee also approved
applications from three honorary
societies.
Similar to Alpha Phi Omega
The three groups applying were
Gamma Sigma, women's service
fraternity which is similar to
Alpha Phi Omega, national men's
service fraternity; Delta Phi Al
pha, national German honorary,
and Sigma Tau Delta, national
English honorary.
Margaret Nichols, junior in arts
and letters from Scranton is pres
ident of Gamma Sigma; Francis
Fochler, sophomore in. pre-medi
cine from Altoona is president of

'Ugly' Horse
Browses in Yard;
Excites Neighbor
State College Police discovered
yesterday that it isn't too unusual
for a fraternity to have a horse
in its yard.
They were called to Pi Sigma
Upsilon fraternity to find out just
what the fraternity was doing
with a horse,
A complaint came from a near
by resident who apparently
thought it was strange for the
fraternity have a horse there
overnight. But the police didn't.
It seemed that the fraternity
used the horse to boost its entry
in Monday's Ugly Man parade.
The parade over, the horse was
tethered at the fraternity.
Police agreed the horse was
doing nobody harm but advised
that the horse may be better off
back from where it came.
The entry in the police regis
ter read simply: "7:15 p.m.. Rec'd
complaint, that there was a horse
at 139 McAllister Street."

That border was quiet today.
But an Israeli army spokesman
said the water pipeline on Lahav

Finding they were in the wrong
room, the pair told Tribunal they
used the same procedure to break
into .the fly-tying classroom. Af
ter taking fly-tying articles from
the room, Wenner went outside
and waited for 011iver to lock the
door from the inside and climb
out the window.
As 011iver climbed out the win
dow, they were discovered by
Campus Patrolman Fred N. Hite.
Wenner ran, but Hite caught 01-
