PAGE TWO Restrictions Announced On Off-Campus Living The Board of Trustees has approved a policy requiring men living off campus, un less in their own homes, to live in rooming houses inspected and approved by the University. University representatives will inspect downtown rooming houses and fraternities for conditions of health, sanitation, fire safety, minimum housing requirements and terms and conditions of occupancy. I The new policy will be put into effect as soon as feasible, according to Frank J. Simes, dean of men. It is an extension of a program begun in 1953 with a voluntary inspection of off-cam pus living facilities. Checked Last Year Last year volunteer teams front the Alpha Fire Co. of State Col lege cheeked rooming houses and fraternities m several areas of the borough as part of a borough wide inspection for possible fire hazards. No definite time has been set for the beginning or completion of the inspection, according to Harold W. Perkins, assistant dean of men. The process of inspection will be gradual, he said. Students will not be asked to move this se mester. To Determine Facilities Simes said the new policy will help students get adequate off campus housing and will enable the University to determine fu ture housing needs. As housing facilities are a fac tor limiting enrollment, Simes said, it is essential to the growing needs of the University to know exactly the number of downtown housing facilities available. Inspection Invited Under the program begun in 1953, representatives from the dean of men's office at the invi tation of householders have in spected some downtown rooming houses. Houses approved are list ed for student reference. The policy now approved for men is similar to a policy used prior to World War II when many women lived in approved down town rooming houses. Other colleges and universities require school approval of off campus housing. Dietician Joins Home Ec Staff Clarice D. GulUckson, dietetic specialist for the Veterans Ad ministration for the past 20 years, has joined the staff of the College of Home Economics.

PENNSYLVANIA > "wiiUHFI —Dtilr Collexfon Photo bjr Georft Harrison USED BOOKS and linei of students can be seen all week in the Helzel Union cardroom. ÜBA Lowers Rates; Charges Cut in Half Increased business has enabled the Used Book Agency to reduce its handling charge from 20 cents to 10 cents. Under the new rates, buyer and seller will each pay a 10-cent service charge as opposed to a previous rate of 20 cents each. The agency will accomplish collection by raising by 10 cents the quoted price of the book and paying the seller 10 j cents less than the quoted price. As before, there will be no handling charge if a book is not sold. ; The new price will continue to be in effect unless there is a great! unexpected drop in student sup port of the ÜBA. No Handling Charge Tentative plans are that event ually the operations will not cost the student anything, according to Mark Levine, spokesman for the Book Exchange and the .Used Book Agency. The BX is now under a self service system, on an experi mental system. At present it is not as efficient as it was hoped to be. However, it is impossible to tell how the new system will work out because of the increased busi ness during the first weeks of the semester, Levine said. Levine said that in speaking with the students they felt that the new self-service system is better than the old one. Self Service Under this system, the student picks out the articles he wishes to buy and then takes them to the clerk. This gives the student a chance to have a better look at the merchandise and he does not have to wait for other customers. The ÜBA will not receive any more books to be sold. It will con tinue to sell books until noon Fri day in the Hetzel Union cardroom. The hours for the ÜBA are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and 9 a.m. to noon Friday. The BX will be opened from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. It’s regu lar hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, will be in effect for the -emainder of the semester The ÜBA will start to return money and books Feb. 18 in the Hetzel Union cardroom. Failure to claim money or books within 10 days of this date will result in forfeiture. Painting Scheme Brightens Return Of Collegian Staff The Daily Collegian cityroom was a little brighter yesterday when staffers returned to work after a long mid-semester layoff. The cityroom, where most of this newspaper’s copy is written and edited, was painted over the vacation. Physical Plant painters must have gone wild when they wielded their brushes, for three walls are painted yellow and brown and the fourth, green and brown. The ceiling is white. None of the shades could be classified “dull.” The cityroom was included in the Carnegie Hall paint project, a move to brighten up some of the classrooms and offices in the building, one of the oldest on campus. Frosh Board Will Meet The Freshman Class Advisory Board will meet at 7:30 tonight in 209 Hetzel Union to discuss plans for a class dance. Now - 1:58. 3:51. 5:46. 7:41. 9:36 iSTT k Jjp k “THE RAINMAKER” Starts Friday— University Aid Approved For IFC Buying Program The formation of an Interfraternity Council-sponsored cooperative buying program moved a step closer to reality with the announcement yesterday that the Board of Trustee* has authorized University officials to counsel with fraterni ties on buying problems. j Under the board’s action, var ious departments of the Univer sity would be available for con sultation with an IFC buying agency and could assist in the audit of its books. Such an agency has been pro posed by IFC officers to assume the food-buying functions of the Fraternity Marketing Association, which will suspend operations by the end of the semester. Letter from Land The board’s action was taken in response to a letter from IFC President Daniel Land requesting University aid and official recog nition for the proposed organiza tion. Although the board did not spe cifically grant University sanc tion to the IFC program, it helped clear the way for the University Senate Committee on Student Welfare to charter the planned organization, if it is established by IFC. Cites Rising Costs In his letter, Land said that “today’s costs are rising so rapid ly that in the very near future fraternity living will be priced beyond the reach of the average student, upon whom the frater nities have depended for their members,” unless some force, such as cooperative buying program, arrests these rising costs. The proposed program has been described as similar to the pre sent FMA, but under closer IFC control. Eventual expansion of the categories of buying to in clude most of the needs of frat ernities has been suggested as a natural development for the plan in the future. FMA Voted Suspension FMA voted to suspend opera > tions by the end of last semester after IFC defeated an association backed amendment to the coun i cil’s constitution which would I have made membership in FMA mandatory for all council mem ; bers. But the association’s Board of Trustees last month agreed to continue operations this semester until IFC can establish a program of its own. The board members agreed to the extension of opera tions after Land assured them that the project would be finan cially underwritten by IFC and pledged the council’s support to effect “an orderly transfer of buying functions.” Physics Dept. Gets Grant of $3OOO The Department of Physics has received a $3OOO grant from the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Wilmington, Del. It will be used to support re search in the department concern ing the relation of physical prop erties of high polymers to their molecular structure.
