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.

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.

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-

ing program demands a strong
and efficient body to regulate
fraternity-freshman contact, and
to prevent dirty rushing. 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.
