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."

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.
