president of the board of trus
tees for the Fraternity Mar
keting Association, announced

ing that the total sales as of April

largely due to the addition of
four fraternities to membership
in FMA, bringing the total mem

formally.

"LADY KILLERS"
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Students refusing to vacate such
quarters will not be allowed to
register for the semester after the
one in which the declaration of
hazard was made, the Trustees
ruled.
Upon being informed that a
building is declared a hazard, the
University, Trustees ruled, will
notify the students residing there
and also their parents or guard
ians.
The Alpha Fire Co. of State
College in February began a
check of fraternity houses and
business places. The inspection
will continue next week with
rooming houses. and later, but
not this spring, will extend to pri
vate homes.
When the inspection began.
Town Independent Men submit
ted a list of ten rooming houses
where students reported they be
lieved fire hazards existed.
Thomas Sauers, fire chief, said
yesterday that to date they have
found fewer fire hazards than an
ticipated. He also reported co
operation on the part of owners
in correcting hazards noted.
One chief hazard noted by the
volunteer firemen has been over
loading of electrical circuits, Sau
ers said.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director
of student affairs, said yesterday
that "if and when reports are
made which lead Borough offi
cials or state officers to declare
any dwelling unsafe, it v•ouid be
unwise for us to allow students
to continue to live there, even
though they might be willing to
do so."

ment of the program here at thel
University. Some of those insti
tutions with successful programs,
are Stanford University, Ohio;
State University, University of'

Faculty Club
Hears Talk
On Pakistan
Pakistan is a "very steadfast
ally of American and western
bloc countries," Cyrus E. French,
professor of animal nutrition, told
the Faculty Luncheon Club yes
terday.
French recently was a member
of a survey team which traveled
to Pakistan and Iran to determine
the nutritional conditions in Pak
istan's armed forces.
One team made the study in'
Iran, and the other in Pakistan.
French said. Each group included
eight Americans.
Team Members Travel
The team members traveled
from one large city to another
working in army and navy posts,
he explained.
French spent three months in
Pakistan, and there he heard John
Foster Dulles. secretary of state,
speak at a SEATO conference ses
sion.
Twenty-four colored slides of
western Pakistan were shown to
illustrate the lecture, which was
attended by approximately 50
faculty members.
One of the guests at the lunch
eon was Jamila Khalid, a grad
uate student in home economics
from Pakistan.
Forestry Director to Speak
Maurice K. Goddard. director
of the school of forestry, and state
secretary of forests and waters,
will speak at next week's faculty
luncheon.
His topic will be "Forests and
Waters." This meeting will con
clude the luncheon program un
til next fall, it was announced.
Two Scholarships
Created for Frosh
Two freshman scholarships for
$5OO and 5250 have been estab
lished at the University by busi
ness concerns.
Bituminous Coal Research In
corporated of Washington D.C.
has established a $5OO scholarship
for a male freshman interested
in the field of fuel technology on
the basis of scholarship, character,
and need.
The Pittsburgh section of TV
Guide has established a $250
scholarship in the School of the
Arts for a freshman interested
in a career in television on the
same basis.
One trustee suggested that it
may be possible for FMA to be
represented on some of the fra
ternity councils to meet with the
fraternities. They would thereby
have the opportunity to discuss
the purposes and possible advan
tages that FMA would approach
all the fraternities without call
ing a special meeting.
The next meeting of the board
of trustees will be held at 8 p.m.
May 23 at the home of Mrs.
Marion F. Keister.

Student Tutoring Service
Offers Help in 5 7 Courses
There are some students that
get 4.0 averages and then there
are the other kind. It is the other
kind that the new student tutoring
service sponsored by the dean of
men's office is aimed at.
The service, instituted a few
weeks ago by a committee head
ed by William B. Crafts, assist
ant to the dean of men, offers
help in 57 courses, anything from
accounting to zoology.
A list of tutors and courses was
given to dormitory counselors
and housemothers who in turn
announced the plan to their
groups. Also, a list is available
in the dean of men's office. How
ever. Dean Crafts said that there
has been little use of the list, so
far, and he hoped more students
would ask for help.
Tutors were accepted if they
wished to tutor the subject they
are majoring in and if they had a
B average in all their subjects.
