Community Projects
On Tap for Greeks
Fraternity and sorority members will don old work
clothes today and bring out the rags, garden tools, and paint
and paint brushes for the sixth annual Greek Week work
projects day.
Forty-three fraternities and 23 sororities, including about
570 members, will participate in
the 20 projects in and around the
State College area from 1 to 5 p.m.
One of the primary purposes of
the work projects day is to foster
and maintain good relations be
tween sorority and fraternity
members and townspeople, ac-,
cording to Iris Olbum and Robert i
Steele, projects co-chairmen.
In the past years work projects
day has proven to be one of the
highlights of Greek Week.
Arranging the projects with the
two projects chairmen and acting
as the liaison between the towns
people was Eugene M. Fulmer,
executive secretary of the State
College Chamber of Commerce.
Greek Week was originally in
novated in 1944 at the Univer
sity of Minnesota as a Help
Week to replace the traditional
Hell Week. This is the sixth
year that it has been held at
the . University.
Other events included in Greek
Week, in addition to the projects
day, are the IFC-Panhel Sing,
Greek Sunday, a poster contest,
the Outstanding Pledge Banquet,
'that could spur the ousting of
Beck from the Teamsters presi-'
dency.
Beck's office here said, after
speaking with him in Seattle,
"You can quote Mr. Beck as say
ing 'no comment'
Used sth Amendment
Beck invoked the Fifth Amend
ment in refusing to tell senators
in hearings Tuesday and Wednes
day about his admitted use of
$300,000 to $400,000 of Teamster's
funds. He has claimed to reporters
he has repaid the money, but re
fused to say so under oath_
Beckwas absent from today's
meeting, staying at his home in
Seattle and complaining that he'd
received only two days' notice of
the session.
George Meany, AFL-CIO presi
dent, said the council has sum
moned Beck to a hearing -here

May 20 to answer "for his actions
in bringing the labor movement
into disrepute and his failing to
explain many charges against him
with revrd to misuse of union
funds."
Depends on Hearing
Beck's suspension from his
AFL-CIO offices is effective pend
ing outcome of the May 20 hear
ings.
Incidentally, if Beck shows up
at that hearing, he likely will
have the "judicial atmosphere"—
including right of cross-examina
tion and presentation of charges
—which he said was absent at his
Senate committee appearances.
Such has been the precedent for
similar ousting proceedings against
labor leaders, although none as
high as Beck has ever before been
so accused. Unlike court sessions.
however, witnesses are not placed
under oath.-

Wilson. captured their first sing
