Weather Forecast
The Nittany Lion had decided
to stay in his den today to fin
ish his term report and perhaps
to study ahead of time for his
finals. But as he peered outside
and discovered that the girls
were once again taking sun
baths, he decided to hop into
his car and investigate the ex
panded parking lot at Whipple's
Dam. The forecast for today
calls for sunny and mild wea
ther with a high of 68 to 75.

along the turkey trail.
The new road, which will also
pass east of the Wagner Mili

mile Road, will continue past
Park Avenue across University
farmland until it comes to a
wood. The road then will make
a 90 degree turn to the south

he dean's staff would deal with
independent men, especially those
living off campus, Simes said.
The new position would include
some of the duties dealing with
downtown men which now are
handled by William B. Crafts, as
sistant to the dean in charge of
resident counseling, and Harold
W. Perkins, associate dean of
men.
"We need someone exclusively
in this area," Dean Simes said.
"We feel we have not been giving
as much attention to the indepen
dent men's activities as we
should," he said.
If the new position is created,
the duties, as outlined by Simes,
would be:
6"To assist or advise the Asso
ciation of Independent Men in its
activity both on and off campus.
•"To cooperate with the acting
coordinator of student activities
and the office of the dean of wo
men in developing social and rec
reational activities among all men
students.
• "To assume responsibility in
the area by off-campus housing
for men ,and married students by
providing information about suit
able housing, resolving household
er-student problems, and raising
standards among householders in
accordance with University policy.
• "To evaluate requests for re
lease or exemption submitted by
men students in reference to Uni

ommend appropriate action.
• "To assume responsibility for
counseling of students withdraw

• "To assume a proportionate
share of the responsibility for

•"To maintajn a liaison with

Road—will extend from south
Pollock Road will not be cut
thro•agh to meet University Road.
Trainer said that continuing
Pollock Road at the present
time would be a mistake since
the Nittany area is still heavily
populated.
Entrance Road which now joins!
the highway at the site of the
new cloverleaf will end at the
Home Management Houses.
As part of the highway project,
Route 545 will be widened to
four lanes from the cloverleaf
to Dale-Summit.
Once the project is completed,
cars will have access to the eam•
pus by taking University Road
td Park Avenue and then Short
llidge Road to Pollock Road.
However, Trainer said, once the
Nittany Area is vacated Pollock
Road will probably be extended
to meet the new bypass.

This is the second lime the.

similar motion was defeated 20
to 6 in December.
An amendment to the motion
will be made tonight, according
to James Goodwin, board alter

clarify the motion and make it
clear that it will take a two
thirds vote of the Board of Gov
ernors to bind the president's vote.
John Morgan, former AIM pres
ident, said last week he believes
the directed vote amendment is a
sign of a lack of confidence by
board 'members in the president.
