of cheating on finals, President Eric! A. Walker suggested to
the University Senate yesterday that the military system for
printing and distributing confidential and secret material be

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.
