FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21 AIM Club Board Votes HUB Support The Association of Independent Men’s Board of Gov-j emors has appropriated up to $lOO in support of two l simulated nightclub programs for the spring semester. Temporarily named Club HUB, the programs will be held on April 12 and May 10 in the Hetzel Union Ballroom in conjunction with administra tion plans for social and recrea tional developments for students. The board committee working! on these programs has set up a contest, running from Sunday through March 1, to find a suit able name for “Club HUB." Stu dents may submit suggestions for names at the HUB desk. The win ning suggestion will be rewarded with a reservation for two for an evening in Club HUB. Tentative plans for the trans- , formaiionof the HUB ballroom into a night club call for a | dance band, entertainment (pos sibly a faculty talent show), small tables situated around the dance floor and buffet refresh ments. Reservations will be made in advance for an even ing in the "night club" and will cost approximately 51.25 per couple. The board voted financial sup port of “Club HUB” Wednesday night with the expectation that if the programs prove successful. Club HUB will become basically self-supporting. After considerable debate, the board also voted to send dele gates to the National Independent Student Association convention during the last week of March in Oklahoma. 1 Louis Wonderly, board secre-j tary, objected to sending the dele j gates on the grounds that it was a waste of the students’ money He said the Association of Independent Men's structure at the University is much slronqer than any other school in the association, so our delegates > do not gain much from the ! convention. He said, “Why should we give this money to help other col leges?” Chem-Phys OK's 'Direct Vote' Plan The Chemistry-Physics Student Council has approved a “directed vite” plan which would require its president to vote on All-University Cabinet according,to the council’s opinions. The plan, which was approved by a 13-3 vote, would also require the president to vote in accordance with council opinion on the Inter college Council Board. A somewhat similar proposal was defeated recently by the Association of Independent Men after a- bitter battle. The Chemistry-Physics Council plan would provider that a two thirds vote of the council on any issue would instruct the presi dent to vote in accordance with council opinion. •The plan had been discussed by the council after members of other student councils expressed dis satisfaction over their presidents voting down a voluntary ROTC resolution presented to Cabinet. The motion was tabled at the council’s last meeting and was revised by Donald Zepp before it was approved Tuesday night. Walter Davis was appointed parliamentarian at Tuesday’s meeting and Irving Klein was named chairman of an Academic Honesty Program Committee. Van Zandf to Talk On 'Atomic Age' Rep. James E.. Van Zandt (R.- Blair, Centre, Clearfield) will speak on “The Atomic Age" at the annual Cosmopolitan Club banquet at 6 tonight.

Problem, of Deferred Rushing Faces Enforcement Difficulty Third of a Series I Probably the stiffest prob- ! jlem facing a deferred rushing 1 jsystem is enforcement—keep-! ing freshmen away from fra-] ternities and fraternities away from freshmen. In a school the size of the .Uni versity, the problem is magnified. It is a case of keeping 55 frater nities and more than 2300 fresh man men separated—or at least separated to the point where no definite rushing could be carried Future Snows Could Prohibit Town Parking In the event of another snow-i ‘fall in the near future, parking! may be prohibited completely on| borough streets, according to Burgess Roy D. Anthony. This possibility has come about due to the current snow removal problem in the borough, accord ing to the burgess. Snow has been pushed to such heights in parts of State College that if more snow falls before the current piles are removed, the only place to push it will be alongside these piles, Anthony said. In such a case, he said, the streets would be so narrowed as to make park ing prohibitive.- Borough Manager Robert Y. Edwards yesterday said the bor ough has spent $6500 in the last month and a half to combat the effects of storms. He compared this to a total expenditure of $7900 for snow removal spent during the entire fiscal year of 1956-57. Edwards said the borough has received offers of assistance from county civil defense headquarters following Gov. George M. Lead er’s emergency declaration on Wednesday, but does not need as sistance at present. Carnegie Tech Prof To Teach HEc Grads Dr. Jules Labarthe, professor of textile technology at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, has been appointed as visiting professor in the College of Home Economics. He will teach graduate students in textiles. announcing ... THE FORESTRY BALL Dancing 9 to 1 Semi-Formal Tickets Available: Forestry Office and HUB Desk on. This would not be easy Would fraternities take it upon themselves to do this, without official surveillance? The mem bers of the Interfratemity Coun ci . at a meeting last week where the topic was discussed, seemed convinced that the system would not work on a purely honorable basis, and that ''dirty rushing” would crop up immediately. So the question of dirty rushing seems paramount. How to control it appears the greatest problem connected with the system. This is the situation as. viewed I at the council meeting: If a fra ternity wants to rush a freshman, couldn't its members rush him during his first semester, without other fraternities knowing it or at least .being able to do some thing to prevent it? This could be done, they said,' by a group of fraternity men tak- 1 ing a nu-mber of freshmen! somewhere,' probably out! of town, and entertaining them! iwhile telling them of their frater-' inity’s virtues. This fraternity] would thereby have a jump on] the houses which abided by the regulation and waited until the second semester to rush the fresh men. This would bring up with other houses this serious problem: should it go against the rushing code or should it take the chance of losing its best 'rushing pros pects without ever, having a chance to rush them? One fraternity president said at the meeting that his house would obey the rule, and added “let the other houses dirty rush if they want to.” This might ap ply to some houses, but the feel ing was that if one or two houses started a dirty rushing policy, the move might snowball and soon include a large number of frater nities in the illegal practice. With this in view, the IFC seems to think a deferred rush- Spring Week Deadline fer Indie Entrance All groups, excluding fraternities and sororities, can pick up application blanks for Spring Week entrance at the HUB Desk on Friday, February 21 Additional Information: Cal!

The body to be effective would need ihe power to mete out penalties to offenders, probably both to fra ternities and freshmen. The rushing code would also have to define just how much contact would be allowed be tween fraternities and freshmen, and exactly what constitutes ru thing and marks the difference between a casual conversation and a rushing attempt. It could be a touchy problem. And if there is a controlling body and defined code of penal ties as it seems there definitely musr be if the system is to work, would even this prevent dirty rushing entirely? How thorough a set-up would be. necessary to make the system effective, and prevent even the most undercover rushing opera tion from succeeding? This ques tion is still open to argument.
