THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
This vote will apply to all cases
except those that pertain to the
constitutional matters.
In stating why he thought
Thompson women should be in
cluded on the council. Daniel
Thalimer, president, said:
"At present the council can go
before the administration armed
only with opinions and feelings
of the men in this area. Since the
men number only 1200 of the
1600 students here, I feel that the
other quarter of the population
should be represented."
Little Discussion
The motion met with the imme
diate approval of the representa
tives, as it was passed with very
little discussion.
Wells Hunt, treasurer, pointed
out that women representatives
will probably eliminate a lot of
the friction between the men and
women who live in the West Halls
area.
Thalimer added:
"The presence of women in the
council would give this council
for the first time a representation
from the entire area. Since this
area houses both men and women
students there are many prob
lems concerning both which could
be settled."
Scholarship Trophy
Francis Fochler. junior in pre
medical from Altoona, was an
nounced winner of the 1955-56
scholarship trophy for the high
est average in the West Dorms
area. His All-University average
is 3.94.
The council voted to hold elec
tions for the representatives-at
large on Jan. 9 and 10. Thalimer
said that another member for
elections committee is needed.
Men interested in this position
may notify their unit presidents
'or Thalimer.
The music committee reported
,that 25 long-playing records, cost
ing $lOO. will be purchased for the
dining halls by the dean of men's
office.

State Commission
Investigates Death
Of 200,000 Trout
The State Fish Commission is
continuing its investigation today
to discover the source of ammonia
that killed almost 200,000 trout,
valued at $lOO,OOO, in the State
fish hatchery and Spring Creek
over the past weekend.
State officials said this was the
worst loss of fish by stream pollu
tion in the history of Pennsyl
vania.
The commission has determined
that the contamination came from
the State College area, but has
been unable to pinpoint its source.
Thinking that the ammonia may
have come from the University,
investigators have checked sam
ples from the campus sewage sys
tem, and have also tested some
of the dead trout with geiger
counters to determine whether
the University's nuclear reactor
caused the poisoning.
Analysis of the samples from
the sewage system has not turned
up anything yet, and the results
of the geiger counter tests were
negative.
RESERVATIONS.
For Commencement, June 7th,
will be accepted at 8 a.m.
