Enrollment Problems Face Ogontz Center Filled-to-capacity dormitories, classrocm shortages, an d over t..xed parking facilities are prob lems not entirely peculiar to the main campus of the University. An upsurge in enrollment has brought about a somewhat crowd condition at the r Ogontz Center. There are now 590 full-time bac calaureate students students ma triculated, SO more than last year. Part-Time Enrollment In addition there are 116 two year Associate • Degree students, 37 more nurses, and 16 coopera tive merchandising students at Ogontz, swelling full-time enroll ment to 759. Part-time enrollment includes 512 persons in 46 differ ent evening classes, and 40 taking a professional engineer review course. Of the 590 _baccalaureate stu dents, 165 are women living at the center. When dormitories became filled, the overflow was assigned quarters in the Student Union Building, formerly , used by visit ors and enrollees in special adult education programs such - as man agement workshops. Buildings Remodeled Additional classrooms and lab oratories were quickly provided by remodeling smaller buildings on the Ogontz campus. Although there are large, paved parking areas,. parking is as much of a problem as at the main campus.

Tottrgiatt Holiday Veto Stirs tSo What' Attitude By LARRY JACOBSON Editorial on page four The University's announcement Monday night refusing to grant a half-holiday for the Penn-Penn State football game Saturday in Philadelphia met with indifference from most students yesterday. Coinciding with the veto of -the holiday, a University spokesman said yesterday football tickets already sold for McCoy Says Conference 'Unlikely' A football conference of east ern independents would be a boom to eastern football, but the prob lems involved in creasting such an organization make it a very unlikely project, Ernest McCoy, ;University athletic director said in Philadelphia yesterday. McCoy spoke to the Philadel phia Football Writers Association on what he described as the "whispering campaign against eastern football." Calls For Aid He called upon college officials, publicity directors, sports writers and radio broadcasters and tele casters in this section of the coun try to rise to the defense of east ern football, according to the As sociated Press. "This insidious whispering cam paign that eastern football is on the skids is a lot of damn non sense," said McCoy. "Football originated in this sec tion of the country. This is where the power was and still is. But we have to sell it," he said. Not Entire Answer Asked if the formation of a strong conference of eastern inde pendents to combat the publicity of the Western Conference, Pacific Coast Conference, Southwestern Conferences and other strong leagues wasn't the answer to his proposed war of words. McCoy agreed it would be a big help but expressed doubt as to its feasi bility. University Observatories Offer View of Mars Weather permitting, the Uni versity observatories will be open to the students and public for ob servation of the planet Mars from £lto 10 p.m. tomorrow and Friday. Dr. Carl A. Bauer, associate professor of physics at the Uni versity, said that Mars is unusual ly close to the earth at the present time and that many of the plan et's characteristics can be viewed through the University's 6-inch refracting telescope. Applause broke out almost immediately, however, when he went on to say: "Some of you feel strongly to the contrary. "But what is important is that we agree that once the Supreme Court has decided this controversial question we ac cept that decision as law abid ing citizens. Cities Common Goal "Our common goal is the orderly accomplishment of the result decreed by the court." Stevenson said too, the office of the presidency should be used "to bring together those of opposing views in this mat ter—to the end of creating a climate for peaceful accomp lishment of this decision." Arkansas Gov. Orval Fan bus, who introduced Stevenson, told reporters later he didn't think the i crowd reaction was "particularly si,,,,,;fient." Holiday Veto See Page 4 the game would not be refunded. Although many students felt the University had been unfair by not granting a holiday, the general attitude seemed to be one of "So what?" When asked, many students said they didn't think the game was important enough to war rant. a ,holiday. Others felt they would rather not trAve classes the afternoon preceding the Thanks giving vacation. If approved, the holiday would probably have been made up Nov, 21 with classes ending at 5 p.m. instead of 11:50 a.m. The "disinterested" group in chided those who said they wanted a holiday so they could go home. Students in this cate gory said.they definitely would not go to the game if a holiday were declared. but there was a good chance they would go home. Frosh Unhappy Discontent with - the University decision seemed to lie mostly with freshmen. "it's ridiculous," one frosh said, while another felt as long as students were willing to make up classes, there was no reason for denial of the holiday. But like it or not, the lack of a holiday didn't seem to be inter fering with students' plans for the weekend. Faced with the prospect of collecting unexcused cuts in their classes, almost all students who originally planned to go, said they were going to the game anyhow. No Refunds Allowed This attitude was reflected at the University ticket office in Recreation Hall. A University spokesman said yesterday there was only one request for a refund and it was turned down. Last year, the official said, re quests for refunds flooded in af ter the University had granted a half-holiday for the game. "'So we decided before sales started this year not to make any re funds," he said. University An -Agency- Explaining the decision, the spokesman said the tickets are the property of the University of Pennsylvania and the University does not have the authority to re fund money. "We're only acting as a sales agency," he said. The tickets were sold in good faith, he explained, and it was the student's responsibility not to depend upon the holiday when he made the purchase. Small Sale Yesterday At the time the University made the decision to axe a pos sible holiday, sales totaled little more than 1000, with approxi mately 150 tickets sold Monday.
