Zile :Ba tt u Tou By 808 FRANKLIN or have enlarged existing ones, ranging frOm a pledge class pro ject to pave an area with rolled quarry fill to professional jobs costing well over $lOOO, the 30- house survey disclosed. The ban went into_ effect in the fraternity area Nov. 1. Parking stickers for specified blocks were issued temporarily for persons who could not find off-street parking, but no permanent plans have been made for overnight parking on a permanent basis. Third Alternative A third alternative used by some houses without sufficient parking was the renting of spaces either commercially or from an other fraternity. At least two houses were park ing their cars on their back lawns, hopefully awaiting action to bring some sort of a perma nent on-street plan. Several Not 'Affected Several fraternities were not affected at all by the ban. These houses either had parking lots large enough to accommodate all their cars or parked them in their driveways or on lawns adjacent to the lots. By far the largest new lot opened was Theta Xi's 51-car capacity area. The lot, located at Fairmount and Thompson Sts., is constructed of rolled quarry fill. Renting to Other Houses Theta Xi has reserved six of the spaces for its own use, and has already rented more than 20 spaces to another fraternity, with the rest of the lot still available. Tau Phi Delta has also rented part of its lot. Representatives of many fra ternities contacted said that their kits were filled beyond normal capacity and that they encounter ed considerable inconvenience in moving cars in and out of the areas. Construction Financing Most of the fraternities where improvements were made finan ced the work through their alumni association or directly from house funds. One fraternity renting part of its parking space made a $1 monthly charge to all members keeping cars at the University to cover the cost. Pledges of Alpha Epsilon Pi en larged the house's lot as a pledge project. They hired a steam roller to roll quarry fill over a backyard area adjacent to the fraternity's, existing lot. Patriots Rise Again Soviet, Hungarian Police Quell New Budapest Demonstration BUDAPEST, Dec. 5 (VP) ,Soviet- tankmen and Hungar ian police, confronted by a new wave of patriotic fervor that resembled the revolu tionary atmosphere, roughly dispersed demonstrating crowds in Budacest at least four times today. The police, acting under Rus sian orders, used their rifle butts to break up a throng of 1000— men, women and children—who assembled in Freedom Square be fore the U.S. Embassy in a de monstration against Premier Jan os, Kadar's Communist govern ment. With two dozen Russian tanks patroling in the square, the peo ple had ignored orders to clear out. - FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 6, 1956 AIM Hears Simes Support Community Living Proposal Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said last night that after a comparison of conditiOns when the West Halls dormitories were occupied solely by men as they exist now with women in .Thompson Hall, he definitely favors a commum Simes presented a report to the Association of Inde, ors in conjunction with a preliminary report from the Al?! Library Ranks Needs. Special The Fred Lewis Pattee Library ranks 54th in size out of 107 colleges and universities while the student enrollment places the University among the 15 largest schools in the nation. Ralph W. McComb, University Librarian, said that "if we are going to be the great library we ought to be; the library needs special help." McComb said the library has received more help in the last few years than in the past, but it will take years to build up a better library. AIM Governors Seek Extension Of Rink Hours The Association of Independent Men Board of Governors last night directed its president to in vestigate the possible extension of the ice skating rink hours on Friday and Saturday nights. The motion was passed without discussion. Melvin Weaver, Nittany Coun cil president, who made the mo tion, said he thought the present 10 p.m. closing time on Friday and Saturday nights was too early. No Time Mentioned The board did not direct the president, Lash Howes, to seek any specific closing time. AIM treasurer Norman Hedding announced the appropriations to the councils for this semester. AIM received $1623 this semester from student fees, of which it will appropriate one-third, $541, to the four councils. Allotment Breakdown Nittany Council will receive $82.77, Pollock, $45.44; West Halls, $101.71, and Town Independent Men, $311.08. Several of-the coun cils had received "loans" for AIM already this semester and the larnount of the "loans" will be de ducted from the appropriations. The appropriations are made in proportion to the number of men living in each of the four areas. "Down with the AVH," the throng shouted, referring to the secret police. "No more deporta tions!" Several demonstrators fell un der the police onslaught. Some were arrested and removed, ap parently to police headquarters. Witnesses said the prisoners in cluded children. Among those who saw the up rising was India's charge d'af lakes, I. Rahman. He circled the square several times in an auto mobile. The Hungarians appealed to him to help free persons ar rested by the police. Posters and leaflets appeared on the streets calling for a new gen eral strike. Some demonstrators demanded a "national uprising." The Budapest chief of police urged Hungarians to ignore the rgiatt By ANNE FRIEDBERG Low, Help Reasons Explained Reasons for the present-day de ficiency, he explained, are due to the belief in the past that the University as a land-grant insti tution with limited educational objectives did not need a large li brary. The University, too, has al ways had periods of financial stress and strain, he said. He said this deficiency has cur tailed the Graduate School pro gram and that the future of the [Graduate School is closely tied with the development of adequate library facilities. "The prestige of any institu tion," he said, "is also related to the strength of its library." As examples, McComb cited Dart mouth College and Yale Univer sity. Greatness Affects All "The all of Penn State affects all of us and thus the pres tige of the Library affects all of us," he added. In explaining where the Li brary derives its funds, McComb said the University budget al lows for the usual expenditures. ! Alumni funds and special gifts provide for the special purchases of "extras" such as manuscripts and rare books, he said. Some of the $5 to $6 million contributed ,by business goes into the library !funds, he said. strike call, saying it was put out by "irresponsible elements" seek ing to promote a revival of the fighting. Cooler heads thought a resump tion of the revolt, crushed by So viet arms in early November, was unlikely. Nevertheless, an air of tense expectation prevailed. Many Hungarians said they felt the tough attitude taken by the Russians yesterday and today against the crowds, largely wo men. might lead to a resumption of widespread strikes. Today's manifestations appar ently grew out of a moving dem onstration of about 15,000 women Tuesday honoring the revolution's dead. They braved Soviet armor and• guns in and around Heroes Square to put red, green and white flowers on the tomb of Hungary's Unknown Soldier.

Simes said women were housed in Thompson Hall three years ago on a temporary basis because of the limited women's dormi tories and increased demands from women for admission. Cites 'lnformal Contact! "The informal contact between coeds and men is very beneficial. It helps provide a more normal atmosphere on the campus and stimulates organizations, such as the West Halls Council, to plan a social program including women," Simes said. • In his report to the board, Simes also presented some disadvan tages to the program of commun ity living which he felt could eventually be overcome. "Panty raids were not populair until we had the women up there (in the West Halls area)," Simes said. The main source for this type of trouble has been the West flails area. but one panty raid did origi nate in the Nittany area. Raids Not Conclusive Evidence Simes said that this fact was not conclusive evidence that dem onstrations would occur more frequently if a community living plan were effected at the Univer sity. "Many other factors enter into a panty raid situation. So many of them may have occurred in the West Halls area because there are fewer upperclassmen there than in any of the other men's dormitories," Simes said. Another snag in the proposed elan for community living is that fact that the women's dormitories r which are presently under con struction and whichwill be ready ,for occupancy by the fall of 1958 are not easily converted to ac commodate men.

"At this time of the year, it should be cold and it should be snowing," grum bled the Lion as he took his rep tile-brand rain coat, boots and umbrella from the closet in his den Today is ex pected to be partly cloudy and rainy, with a chance that the showers may change to snow flurries by eve ning. Last night's low was predicted as 45, rising to 50 today. Walker Returns From Harrisburg President Eric A.
