Byers said the check cashing

before and are doomed to failure
before they start.
The planks propose the Univer

the Book Exchange be expanded
to include a book store.

Byers, in answer to a Daily

reorganization. This was done by

The Outing Club is helping with
the project and hopes to develop
the pond as a recreational area,
according to Mark Smythe, club
president.
A concrete drainage gate is
now being built in the center
of the original earth dam to
facilitate future draining of the
pond as a part of the research
program.
The original earth darn of_ the
pond on Shaver Creek was built
by a State College conservation
group.
The research program is rota
tional and the lake will be drained
and fish collected, for scientific
study' at future dates, Cooper said.
Special fishing regulations
will be set - up for the pond—.
flies will be the only type of
bait permitted. a daily limit
of two fish per person will be
allowed and no fishing from
boats will be permitted. The
fishing season will be extended.
Cooper said the 6 1 / 2 -acre pond
is on state land and the Univer
sity has a long-term lease on the
area. ..
Permission for the project was
obtained from the Department of
Forests and Waters, the Division
of Dams in Harrisburg and the
Fish Commission, Cooper said.
Panhel May Establish Open Bidding
By JANET DURSTINE
Panhellenic Council may
establish an open bidding sys
tem for sororities.
Under this system, any see
ond semester freshman women
with a 2.3 All-University average
or above or upperclasswomen
with a 2.0 All-U average or above
could be given a bid at any time
in the semester after formal rush.
This would eliminate the spring
informal rush period.
It has not 'decided when the
plan, if passed, would go into ef
fect.
The idea has been - approved
by sorority advisers. it is felt
that under this system, more
women would have a chance to
join a sorority.
Coeds would not have to reg
ister for open bidding. The coed
could answer the bid whenever
she chose. •
The council will act on this pro
posal at a special meeting Tues
day in the Sigma Sigma Sigma
suite in Hibbs Hall.
The council will also decide
then whether to adopt a fori.ial
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN: STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Over Rambler
John D'Angelo, senior in edu- 1
cation from Philadelphia, thought
his sleek black Cadillac was about
the greatest thing on the road—
until yesterday.
That's when the Cadillac, being
driven to the Nittany Halls by its
now red-faced owner, drank its
last drop of gas, left its roar be
hind and came to a chug-chug
ging halt.
While D'Angelo stood scratch
ing his head for a solution to his
problem, he heard a friendly and
helpful "beep-beep" behind him
—the "beep-beep" of a tiny Nash
Rambler.
Without another beep, the little
car pushed the big, sleek Cadil
lac to the gas station, D'Angelo
sliding down into the front seat
so he couldn't be seen.
Not a word was spoken by
either driver. The driver of the
Rambler just laughed as he pulled
away, and D'Angelo's face got red
der—especially when• the midget
car left the station with a short
"beep-beep."

For
Students who want tickets for the Canadian Players' per
formance of George Bernard Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple"
ought to get to the Hetzel Union desk early this morning.
Tickets for the troupe's Friday evening performance of
William Shakespeare's "As You Like It" were given out
within a few hours of the time
distribution began Monday.
Ticket sales and distribution'
for Saturday evening's perform
ance will begin at 9 a.m. today.
Tickets for non-students cost
$1.25. Students may pick up tick-,
ets by presenting their matricula
tion cards.
Those who were too late to
get tickets for Friday's per
formance may still see the play
by picking up tickets for the
matinee_ performance scheduled
for 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Both evening performances are
scheduled for 8:30 p.m. in Schwab
Auditorium. Following Saturday
evening's show, a reception for
members of the troupe will be
held at Tau Kappa Epsilon frat
ernity. Students who wish to at
tend may sign up at the HUB
desk.
The Canadian Players', produc
tion of "As You Like It" brings
with it quite a story, The idea of
teen-age girls swooning over a
Shakespearean actor seems a lit
tle far fetched, but it happened
to Ted Follows who portrays Or
lando in the play.
The show had a nre-tour ner
formance before the student
body of Etobicoke Collegiate in
suburban Toronto, and when it
was over Follows was mobbed
by an admiring throng of high
school girls. Attempts to take
pictures of the cast in costume
were completely disrupted by
mobs of females following Fol
lows around the stage with
autograph books.
Finally he stretched out full
length on the stage and spent
over half an hour talking to stu
dents and signing autographs.
The mood of the meeting, how
ever, was completely shattered

The machine is used for Univer
sity registration data.
It was suggested that ber
muda shorts parties be substi
tuted for the traditional cos
tume parties, which were felt
too expensive and involve too
much work.
No costumes would be worn,
'the suite would not be decorated
and entertainment would be lim
ited to 15 minutes plus group
singing.
Some council members, how
ever, felt the parties gave an op
portunity to see the rushee in a
different situation from the or
dinary rushing events.
