ed that sale of the equipment,
mainly ammunition and .spare
parts, was arranged months ago.

Cabinet Will Hear
Book Sale Report
A report recommending that the Book Exchange refrain from selling new books will
be presented to All-University Cabinet at 8 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union Building.
The report, compiled by the Book Exchange Committee, recommends a "hands-off'
policy with respect to new book sales claiming the BX_does not have the space or money
to handle new books. •
In addition, the report says, correspondence with other schools has advised against
the sale of new books by a stu
dent operated organization.
At present, the Used Book
Agency sells used books at the
beginning of each semester.
During the spring elections, the,
issue was brought to light when,
the All-University Elections Com- 1
mittee forbid the Lion Party to
run a plank advocating that the
BX sell new books.
No Co-op Store
As an alternative to selling new
books in the BX, the report also
frowns upon the establishment of
a Co-op Book Store.
Students wouldn't patronize a
Co-op unless it was situated in
the main shopping area, the re
port says. In. addition, the report
says it would be practically im
possible to obtain and operate
another book store in State Col
lege due to zoning laws.

Week report including many

curred Saturday night, May 5, in
the West Halls triangle area.

name, the student refused to give
it, Binford reported. The student
finally disclosed his identity when
asked for the third time. Binford
reported the studeAt had been
drinking at a fraternity prior to
the incident.
The board also recommended
that a letter be sent to the stu
dent's parents.
The board will meet for the last
time for the semester at 8:30 p.m.

Officials said the sale to the
Arab country was originally ap

Walker Bulldog light tanks. Ship

report of this year's Spring Week.
All-University President Robert
Bahrenburg said the recommenda
tions are for future Spring Week
committees to use or discard as
they see fit.
Recommendations call for an
increase in the number of food
concessions, rides, an d ticket
booths at next year's carnival; a
one night carnival, as was this
year's; and a rule to permit only
one person from each group to
carry a hat in the Mad Hatter's
Parade.
Many Could Hold One Hat
This year, the Mad Hatter's
Parade was limited to one hat
per- group, but more than one
person could be used to carry
the hat.
Evidently spurred by the dis
covery of empty beer bottles in
side two booths this year, the
committee also recommended that
the carnival rule forbidding the

$l6 million worth of arms orders
from the Middle East had been
approved. These included about
$7 million worth from Saudi
Arabia.
Shipper's Convenience
When a newsman asked why
"an obscure port" like Sunny.
Point was being used for the
shipment, White said he did not
know unless it was a matter of
"convenience of the shipper."
The Pentagon would not sup
ply specific information on the
goods involved but some officials
said it woud be logical to con
clude that they included shells for
the 76mm. guns of the tanks.

No Houses
Reported
'Hazardous'
No complaints classifying down
town living units as "hazards"
have been reported to the Uni
versity, Wilmer E. Kenworthy, di
rector of student-affairs, said yes
terday.
The Board of Trustees ruled last
Friday that students living in
dwelling in the borough or sur
rounding areas which have been
ruled hazards for fire, health or
other reasons by public health of
ficials, will required to move to
other quarters.
Students Must Vacate
Students refusing to vacate liv
ing quarters which have been
ruled unsafe will not be allowed
to register for the semester fol
lowing the one in which the evac
uation order was announced; the
Trustees added.
Kenworthy said students who
have complaints about rooming
houses downtown should notify
the Alpha Fire Company or the
borough fire marshal. In this man
ner, he said, the Uniirefsity will
be informed if the building is
declared a-hazard.
TIM Submitted List
The fire company started a
check in February of fraternity
houses and rooming houses after
Town Independent Men had sub
mitted a list of ten rooming
houses where students reported
they believed fire hazards to exist.
In connection with the inspec
tion, Fire Chief Thomas Sauers
has said fewer fire hazards have
been found to date than expected.
Cooperatiin has been good on the
part of the owners in correcting
the hazards, he said.
Social Security
Will Be Aired
Social Security legislation as it
concerns the University will be
the subject of a panel discussion
before the local chapter of the
American Association of Univer
sity Professors at 7:30 p.m. Tues
day in the Mineral Science audi
torium.
Senator Jo Hays, Member of
Assembly Preston A. Frost, Dr.
Kenneth R. Erfft, associate comp
troller, and Dr. Arthur H. Reede,
professor of economics, will make
up the panel. Dr. Arthur F. Davis,
professor of physical education
and chairman of the AAUP fac
ulty welfare committee, will mod
erate the discussion.
Several bills dealing with such
legislation have been before the
present session of the State Leg
'islature.
This will be the final chapter
meeting for the spring semester.
