Trout Slaughter
Stumps Officials
' How the ammonia got into the
Spring Creek last weekend and
killed 200,000 trout is still puzzling
state authorities and a University
chemist.
"Nothing seems to make any
sense," the chemist said.
One of the biggest puzzles in
the case to him is the lack of odor
of ammonia in the stream and
surrounding area.
However, if the ammonia was
in the form of salt, no odor would
be present, he said, •
Another big problem is what
percentage of ammonia is needed
to kill a trout, and especially to
kill 200,000 fish.
The kill is the worst in the
state's history.

many fraternities are not repre
sented at the meeting or abstain
from the balloting.
The amendment, which was in
troduced Nov. 26. also calls for a
review of the FMA and gives IFC
enforcement power over the pro
gram.
The amendment was introduced
shortly after the council went on
record by a 39-3 vote as favoring
"in general" a cooperative buying
program. IFC also approved of
the present FMA program in an
18-15 straw ,vote, with 13 absten
tions.
16 Willing to Join
A survey by a council commit
tee disclosed that 16 fraternities—
non-members of FMA—were will
ing to -join the organization for at
least a semester if all other houses
would do the same. Only four of
the 49 fraternities contacted in
dicated that they would not join
the association under any circum
stances.
The amendment to be voted on
Monday reads:
"In view of the fact fraternity
joint-buying programs are a vital
and integral part of fraternity
systems at other major institu
tions, and that the Penn State
FMA piogram. sponsored by IFC
AFC during the past four years,
has proven the value of such a
program for fraternities on this
campus:
'Official Buying Agency'
"The IFC, which is the, parent
organization, now declares the
FMA to be the official buying
agent for all fraternities affiliated
with IFC and that fraternity
membership in IFC automatically
includes membership in FMA; the
constitution of FMA be reviewed
in consultation with the executive
committee of IFC in order to in
corporate the necessary changes
in organizational structure arising
from this action; IFC shall exer
cise the same power to enforce
fraternity participation in the
joint-buying program as it does
to enforce all its other decisions
relative to Penn State fraternity
welfare."
Opponents' Views
Opponents of the amendment
have said they believe their fra
ternities can get better savings
outside the association. A list of
seven reasons why houses had
not joined the organization as it
exists now was included in the
IFC survey.
Proponents of the amendment
have contended that 100 per cent
fraternity participation in FMA
would open the way -to savings
far beyond the discounts and re
funds now given members.

Cumberland), chairman of the
Senate Highways Committee.
Wade termed the route - as
"Pennsylvania's main street:*
More people inside the state use
this highway than use the turn
pike.
The biggest part of the total
estimated expenditure will be
spent in Allegheny County. where
U.S. 22 is part of the Penn-Lin.
coin Parkway. That part of the
project will cost $63.039.361.
Farley said he could not pin.
point any date for starting the
project, but said he hoped it
