Frymoyer Endorses New HUB Hours
By ELAINE MIELE
Fraternity men and upper
class independents will bene
fit from the extended hours
in The Lion's Den, as well as
freshmen who are restricted
by the deferred rushing pro
gram, Edward Frymoyer, presi
dent of the Association of Inde
pendent Men said yesterday.
He also said that he thinks the
extension of hours will be suc
cessful if enough publicity is
gievn to the new closing time.
The reason that there are few
people in the Lion's Den during
the later hours of the week
end evenings is that people
know the early closing hours
and make a rrangements to go
elsewhere. irymoyer said.

has been in University Senate
committees.
'The recommendation was lost
after Shelley, head of the com
mittee on courses of study, de
cided it should not come under
the jurisdiction of his commit
tee.
Shelley said he sent it back
to the committee on academic
standards, then headed by Dr.
Lawrence E. Fouraker. But Four
aker received no such notice, he
said.
Shelley thought he may have
sent it mistakenly to some
other committee but he found
it on his desk Tuesday—seven
months after it was originally
passed by Cabinet.
Shelley said last night that
there was a discussion among
committee chairmen and it was
decided the recommendation be
longed in the academic standards
committee.
"I sent it back yesterday
(Tuesday)," he said.
Arthur D. Brickman, no w
chairman of the standards com
mittee, said last night that he had
not received the recommendation
vet but that Shelley had told him
it was being returned through
campus mail.
Commenting on the recom•
mendation. Brickman said: "I
have not heard any argument
that would lead to changing the
ruling, but I have not spoken
with anyone on the committee
1 yet."
"I personally think that the
objectives of phys ed do not de
pend on whether a guy is a vet
eran or not," he said.
Brickman commented further:
"It is not a course you take for
accumulative knowledge. It is a
minimum physical education pro
gram.
"I don't see any reason why it
should be changed, and I'm a
veteran myself," he said.

and transfer students will have
"big sisters."
Names will be given out soon
after Christmas vacation. allow

Racky came to Acacia with

Racky has solved the ques

tion which can pay you real
dividends in both social and
business advancement and

Whether in business, at social
functions, or even in casual
conversations with_new

in which you can make a good
impression every time you
talk.
To acquaint the readers of
this paper with the easy-to
