THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
of the Interfraternity Council
parking committee, last night said
he. XFC president Daniel Land.j
and All-University President Rob
ert Bahrenburg will appear be-1
fore the council to present the
petitibns, which are being circu-|
lated among fraternity presidents,'
alumni, and townspeople in the
affected area. !
Landis' has requested all fra
ternity presidents to deliver orj
mail the petitions to the Frater
nity Affairs office, 203 F Hetzel
Union, before 5 p.m. tomorrow. I
Enacted Over Summer
The restriction, enacted over the,
summer vacation, would bar park
ing from 2 to 6 a.m. on one side]
of the streets in the area, while!
parking is prohibited at all times 1
on the other side of the streets. I
Enforcement of the 2 to 6 a.mJ
ban, originally scheduled to go
] into effect immediately, was de
layed until Nov. 1 to give fra
ternities time to make other park
ing arrangements, according to
borough officials.
Almost All Affected
Landis said “almost all” frater
nities within the area are affect
ed, with “very, very few” excep
tions. Most of the houses could
solve the problem created by the
ban only by “detracting from the
value or the appearance of the
property,” he said, with many
fraternities having to use lawn
space for parking.
Some fraternities would find it
impossible to work out a practi
cal solution using their own re
sources. according to Landis. In
any case, he said, if the ban goes
into effect, any kind of a solu
tion to the parking problem will
take “quite some time at quite an
expense.”
Text of Petition
The petition to be presented to'
the council reads: “We, the under-]
signed, in order to insure a more]
equitable parking arrangement in
the Borough of State College, par
ticularly in the general fraternity
area. ... do hereby petition the
State College Borough Council to
remove the enforcement of the
2 a.m. to 6 a.m. parking restric
tion.”
Petitions were distributed to
fraternity representatives at Mon
day’s XFC meeting.
The area affected by the park
ing ban is bounded by S. Allen
street, E. Beaver avenue. High
street, and Irvin avenue.

Party Meetings
Set Tomorrow

parties .will swing into action to

chinery for the coming fall elec

Concert Association
Gets 1230 Quota;
Closes Campaign
The membership campaign of
the State College Concert Asso
ciation closed at 5 p.m. yesterday
when the 1,230 quota, determined
by the seating capacity in
Schwab Auditorium, was reached.
Student membership in the As
sociation reached a new high this
year, according to David McKin
ley, president of the Association.
No figures were made available.
McKinley also said that many
sorority, fraternity, and indepen
dent groups bought blocks of
memberships with the plan to ro
tate the tickets for the individual
numbers among members of the
groups. This, as well as a general
increase in student interest,
greatly boosted student participa
tion, he said.
One or two additional concerts
will be added to the series for
the 1956-57 season. The Pitts
burgh Symphony Orchestra, the
Westminster Choir, and Eileen
Farrell,' soprano, have already
been booked.
Coeds Don Air Force Blue
By JODIE HOUGH
University students have
seen a variety of coed fashions
through the years, from bus
tles to Bermuda shorts.
A new dress style this fall is
the Air Force Blues. Women en
rolled in the WAF Cadette pro
gram will wear regulation WAF
uniforms matching those worn
by the AFROTC. Unlike the uni
forms for male officers, the blouse
and gored skirt outfits for wo
men will not have braid on the
sleeves.
The University is one of ten
large schools where the. program
is starting this year. Others are
the universities of Maryland,
Florida, Texas, Omaha, UCLA,
George Washington, Butler, Mi
ami of Ohio, and Southern Illi
nois University.
The experiment will determine
whether the Air Force can pro
duce sufficiently qualified female
officers to maintain its peacetime;

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1956
AIM Board
Approves 3
Car Grants
An Association of Independent
Men freshmen car screening board
Thursday night recommended
that three freshmen be permitted
to operate cars on campus.
Robert Sevier, chairman, said
the board recommended the three
cases for reasons of hardship and
emergency.
Two. of the cases involve stu
dents whose fathers have heart
conditions. The third involves a
student needed weekends at home
for farm work.
The board reviewed three other
cases but did not recommend
them. These cases, Seyler said,
were students desiring personal
cars on campus.
Simes Hears Report
Seyler said he discussed the
three cases recommended by the
board with Frank J. Simes, dean
of men, yesterday. He also sub
mitted a written report to Simes.
Recommendations of the board
are subject to final approval by
the dean of men’s office.
Students submitting letters who
have not heard from the board
will be contacted early next week,
Seyler said.
Applications Accepted
■ Students who desire to be in
terviewed by the board may sub
mit letters at the Hetzel Union
information desk, stating reasons
for needing cars.
The board will meet again from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday in 217
Hetzel Union. Eight interviews
are scheduled.

cer on campus, said approxi
mately 50 women have inquired
about the program. It is now open
to all interested women who are
qualified, but a quota will prob
ably be established in a few years.
Capt. Nathaniel Holman, who
has women in his classes, said a
somewhat different approach is
used in instruction.
Reaction 'Skeptical'
. “Girls in the junior class have
missed the first two years of
training and so do not have as
much background as the boys,”
he said. He added that there has
been a ‘‘skeptical” reaction about
the program among the • men in
the classes.

pleting the advanced course, a

duty with the opportunity of be
