FMA Votes
To Operate
Until Spring
The Fraternity Marketing
Association Board of Trustees
last night voted to continue
operations next semester un
til such time as the Interfrat
ernity Counc 1 can set up a
cooperatiVe b ying program of
its own.
- The action wis taken only after
IFC President Daniel Land as
sured the bo.rd that IFC will
financially un. erwrite the pro
gram for next- semester.
• Land also revealed that Presi
dent Eric A. Walker and Wilmer
E. Kenworthy, director of student
affairs, will appear before the
Committee on Student and Staff
Welfare of the University's Board
of Trustees to secure official
sanction of an IFC cooperative
buying program.
IFC Asks Action
FMA's action was taken upon
a request from the IFC executive
committee. In a letter to Assis
tant Dean of Men Harold W. Per
kins, president of the FMA board,
Land asked the association to
continue its present program "un
til IFC receives authorization to
operate an IFC program."
Such a program, he said, will
be established before the end of
the spring semester, if authorized
by the University. He also said
that "it is the hope of the (IFC)
executive committee that the
FMA will further agree to give
IFC the benefit of its knowledge
and experience in the projected
buying program."
Seen Closer to IFC
' Joseph Eberly, IFC parliamen
tarian, told the trustees he en
visions a group similar to the
FMA board, but under closer
control of IFC, operating the co
operative buying program in the
suture.
. He said IFC will endeavor to
set up such a program as soon as
possible while it would still have
the advantages of FMA assistance
and time to become established
before next year.
.Land's letter also pledged IFC
support to work with FMA to ef
fect "an orderly transfer of buy
ing functions" if the board would
agree to continue its program.

Campus Plans Set
For Civil Defense
Tentative emergency plans for the operation of the Uni
versity Civil Defense program in case of air attack, invasion
or natural disaster are being set up, according to Director
Joseph Intorre.
The main purpose of the plans in the event of an enemy
attack is to provide an evacuation center for residents of the
surrounding area. The University
was chosen because it already
has many of the facilities re
quired for handling large vol
umes of people.
The University program, which
will coincide with the State Col
lege program, will involve the
organization of such departments
as housing and registration, trans
portation and ,c ommun ication,
foods, security, medical and utili
ties.
The State College program, di
rected by Col. William R. Young,
will be a separate organization.
Bomb shelters for the protec
tion of students in case of an air
raid will be set up in basements
of campus buildings. For exam
ple, during World War I. women
students housed in Women's
Building took shelter in the base
ment of Burrowes during prac
tice raids.
Senate Proposal Aimed
At Filibuster Restraint
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (EP)
—A motion aimed at changing
the Senate's rules and placing
restraint on filibusters was in
troduced today by Sen. Clin
ton D. Anderson (D-N.M.) The
Senate agreed to a showdown
vote on the issue at 6 p.m. tomor
row.
Two developments accompanied
Anderson's move to clear the way
fora civil rights program-legisla
tion which filibustering Southern
senators have talked to death in
the past.
Offers Motion
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas promptly
offered a motion to table Ander
son's proposal. A similar parlia
mentary maneuver four years ago
succeeded in kililng Anderson's
1953 attempt to change the rules.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
By PAT EARLEY
An emergency radio service
will be set up using the Univer
sity's existant radio station, WD
FM, which could be converted in
to a shortwave station. In State
College during the 1936 flood.
broadcasts from the campus eased
the minds of parents who had no
way of getting in touch with stu
dents.
The program will include the
organization of an emergency
[ telephone net which will be used
in case regular telephone service
is disrupted.
Students will be recruited for
various duties under the program,
such as carrying messages on
campus. Other jobs have not been
outlined.
Included in the tentative plans;
will be the division of residence!
halls into units with a warden l
appointed for each unit.
The vote at that time was 70-21.
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland of California
came out against the proposed
method of changing the rules, al
though not necessarily against
putting a checkrein on filibusters.
Anderson's motion, which he of
fered on behalf of a coalition of
Northern and Western senators,
was that the Senate take up for
consideration the question of
adopting new rules. The group's
contention is that the Senate rules
do not necessarily continue from
one Congress to another, but may
be changed at the beginning of
each new Congress by simple ma
jority vote.
'Has Continuing Rules' -
i But Knowland said:
"I believe not only that the
Senate is 'a continuous ly:dy . but
that it has continu;ng rules. Any

Senate Votes to Admit
Reporters to Meetings
The University Senate yester
day approved a recommendation
by the Rules Committee to admit
reporters from student publica
tions to Senate meetings.
Under the new rule student
publications reporters will be ad
mitted to the Senate's meeting
for the rest of the academic year.
After that time the Senate will
have to approve it again or it be
comes ineffective.
teLy Chao - ,: corc ticn in th• Sen-
The GOP leader said a filibus
ter can be broken under the Sen
ate's present rules "if you are de
termined to do it." The present
rules require the votes of 64 sen
ators, two-thirds of the entire
membership, to shut off debate
nd force an issue to a vote.
Rules Not Practical
The bipartisan group headed by
Anderson contends the present
rules do not provide a practical
way of ending filbusters_ They
say it is almost impossible to get
a tow-thirds majority of the en
tire chamber to agree to deny sen
ators the right to go on talking.
It was agreed at the Senate's
opening session today that debate
on Anderson's motion would be
limited to six hours—three to a
side. The Senate will meet at 11
a.m., one hour earlier than usual,
Ito get the debate under way.

With Charges
President Eric A. Walker
will review the suspension of
an unidentified faculty mem
ber for alleged unfounded
"derogatory and defamatory"
charges against the adminis
tration of the University's ath
letic program.
The suspension verdict could
possibly be changed, depending
on the President's• findings, a
University spokesman said yes
terday.
The University announced the
f acuity member's suspension
Wednesday after a three-man fac
ulty committee's in v est i gation
found the charges "were mali
' ciously made with deliberate in
l
tention to discredit the College
of Physical Education and Ath

The University has ref Used to

Prof Admits Authorship
A University spokesman said
the faculty member had admitted
authorship of a series of anony
mous letters and postal cards in
which he accused the University
of lax administration of the rules
and regulations governing its in
tercollegiate athletic program,
among other charges.
Approximately 50 charges were
reportedly made by the professor,
and among them:
Connivance to admit athletes
illegally to the University.
Bribing instructors to give pass
ing marks to athletes.
The exact contents of the let
ters and postal cards have not
been revealed by the University.
Charges Made in 1952
The charges reportedly were
first leveled in 1952 in a letter
to the University provost and
have been repeated many times
since, principally in anonymous
letters and postcards to legisla
tors and other citizsms of the
state. Gov. George M. Leader re
portedly received a letter.
A number of these communica
tions were returned to the Uni
versity for inspection and investi
gation, the spokesman said.
In his call for "an objective,
thorough-going fact-finding inves
tigation," President Eric A. Walk
er asked only that the committee
pass judgment on the truth or
falsity of the charges. The com
mittee, the spokesman said, was
given access to all University
files and authorized to interview
