FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 7. 1958 ,Senate Creates Special Group To Plan U.S. Space Conquest FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Community Living Planned for 1960 By DAVE FINEMAN Community living will be a reality in 1960 for undergraduates with the cernp!etio - n of 11 new residence halls tentatively approved by the Board of Trustees. . Plans have been set for men's halls next to McElwain, Simmons and,. the women's halls and women's halls behind Nittany and on the east end of Pollock area, with community dining on the program. Announc?ment of the plans 'yesterday means the Board of Trustees at least tentatively ap proved the long-range features of the community living report presented at the board's Jan. 24 and 25 meetings. University offi cials to date have declined to com ment on the fate of the report. Four of the women's halls are scheduled to go up—"up" here means up to eight stories—on the eastern half of the present Pollock circle. These halls will house about 1000 women and will have breezeways connect ing them with a proposed 2000- capacity dining hall. The men from Nittany will Oat there along with the female oc cupants of the four halls. Four additional 8-story halls will be put up on the Turf Plots to house about 1060 women. The Turf Plots are not— as some of the trustees thought in an in itial panic—the famous Jordan Fertility Plots. They are the ground adjacent to the flower gardens behind the Nittany area. Three men's halls will be built on the western half of Pollock area—one oriented to McElwain, one to Simmons and the third, the largest one, to South Halls. The men from these halls will eat in the dining rooms of the halls to which they are adjacent. In the central portion of Pol lock area, between the proposed halls for men and women, tennis and volleyball courts will be con structed. All of the halls in Pollock area are tentatively scheduled for oc cupancy in 1960. and the halls in the Turf Plots for 1961. One- and two-bedroom apart ments for about 216 married graduate students are a 1 s o among the to-be-completed-in -1960 plans. They will face the stretch of College Avenue on the other side of the Home Management Buildings. President Eric A. Walker. at yesterday's Senate meeting, said the funds for the construction of these halls and other projects will probably be gotten through a 820- million bond issue. The Univer sity presently has a $22-million bond issue out.
