"Students can make it or break it,” he com mented. •In order to set up a system of study rooms for next semester, some campus organization must make a student survey to find out how many students are interested in using these rooms; how many and what size rooms are needed; and where students would like them to be located. Beginning tomorrow night co eds will receive special hours for finals week. Freshman wo men will receive 10 p.m. per missions and upperclasswomen will receive 11 p.m. permissions. With the start of finals just two days away, those in charge of the libraries and the lounges on cam pus are preparing for overflow crowds. The ping pong tables have been taken out of Waring Lounge in the West Dorms area so students will have more room to study there. In addition to their rooms, resi dence hall, lounges and study rooms, the Hetzel Union lounges and ballroom and the main li brary, students may study in any of the college libraries. They are usually open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m, to 9 p.m. Finals begin at 8 a.m. Thurs day and end by 5 p.m. Jan. 23. Conflicts can no longer be filed.

AU-Universily Cabinet had asked that the closing lime be extended until midnight during final examinations. However, the problem of personnel pre vented any hours later than 11.

A committee, chaired by Hart Langer, recommended at last night’s IFC meeting that a survey be taken of the fra ternity system as to the prevalence of seniors leaving without paying debts and to the action which is now used by the fraterni ties in collecting such debts. Langer said he expects the sur vey to be completed before the next meeting, Feb. 8, and his committee will meet prior to the, IFC meeting to evaluate the sur vey and propose a recommenda tion. At its last meeting the IFC discussed a proposal to request the University to withhold diplomas of graduating seniors in debt to fraternities. In other business at last night’s dinner meeting held at Delta Chi, the Council approved the naming of Edward Evers, director of food service for Simmons Hall, to the board of directors of the Inter fraternity Council Purchasing As sociation.

Although this figure represents only a small number of the stu dent body, All-University Cabi net members felt that it wpuld be some help in alleviating the situa tion of students wanting to study outside of their own rooms. Schedule Causes Friday the J3th Although you may not realize it, today is Friday the Thirteenth. Yes, the students of Penn State will have the privilege of seeing not just three but four Fridays fall on the thirteenth day of the month during 1959. This privilege is not due to any lunar mutations that affect only our campus, nor to the fact that our isolation in the Nittany Moun tains cause us to lose track of things like the days of the week. No, the administration has caused this confusion to make up for the class days missed at Thanksgiving. Could this bad luck day be a premonition of our fate to come in the next week-and-a-half?? pgtatt Trio to Climax Sharp Campaign The Kingston Trio, one of the nation’s most popular vocal groups, will appear from 3 to 5 p.m. March 8 in Recreation Building as a climax to the fund-raising Larry Sharp Week. World University Service decided this weekend to give up the dates for its annual drive in order that Larry Sharp Week might be held as originally - planned. j WUS, which last October ' scheduled March 2 through 8 ! for its drive, relinquished its i priority when it found out that I March 8 was the only date on which the Trio could appear, j Because the Trio's performance would be the biggest fund-rais- ! ing project of the week, WUS decided to plan its drive for May 11 through 17. Although the contracts for the Trio’s appearance are still ip the process of being approved and signed, Steve Garban, chairman for the fund, indicated that the | Trio would definitely be engaged ,on that date, I Lairy Sharp Week had been planned for March when the com mittee found out that the Trio was appearing at Princeton Uni versity on March 7. However, Jay Feldstein, All - University presi dent, announced last Thursday that it would not be possible to have the drive as originally planned because of the WUS drive. Feldsiein suggested that the Larry Sharp committee ask the Jazz Club to co-sponsor the ap pearance of the Four Freshmen in February and hold the week prior to that. With the date definitely set, the events for the fund-raising week scheduled so far will be: March 4—Penny-a-Mmute Date Night. March s—Tag Day and a fund raising program over radio sta tion WMAJ. March 6—Coffee Profit Day. March 7—Sophomore Class Dance. March B—The Kingston Trio at Recreation Building. The committee is planning to work in some event with the Sophomore Class Dance since that is the class in which Sharp would be enrolled.
