and not littering rooms. "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.

STATE COLLEGE, PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 13. 1959
Library to Extend
Finals Week Hours
By DENNY MALICK
Reading rooms on the first
floor of the Pattee Library
will be open until 11 p.m. to
morrow through Frida/ and
on next Monday and Tuesday
to enable students to study for
final examinations.
Ralph W. McComb, University
librarian, said the closing hour
was extended on an experimental
basis.
The library will close at its reg
ular time on the weekend—s p.m.
Saturday and 10 p.m. Sunday.
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.
McComb said only a skeleton
staff will be on duty during the
extra hour.
Rooms 103, 104, 105 and 107
on the first floor will-be open for
studying.-However, services in the
reference, periodical and circula
tions departments will not be
operating, McComb said.
McComb has said that only
about 250 students can be ac-
Wifhholding Diplomas
IFC to Survey
Debt Payments
The Interfraternity Council plans to question individual
fraternities concerning the withholding of diplomas to those
graduating seniors who owe debts to their fraternities.
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.
Edward Hintz, IFC president,
announced that University
President Eric A. Walker would
, speak to a combined meeting
; of the IFC and Association of
Fraternity Counselors sometime
in February.

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??

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.

You will need a Fall Semester
Identification Card to register.

Office, 4 Willard, no later than

Sets Rules
For Bikes
The University has put into ef
fect a new set of regulations to
protect students and faculty mem
bers—rules for operators of bicy
cles, motorcycles and motor scoot
-1 ers.
Because of the big increase in
the number of bicycles on cam
pus, the University was forced
to establish rules to protect auto
mobile drivers and pedestrians,
Elwood F. Olver, director of the
division of security, said yester
day.
The regulations go into effect
immediately and will be en
forced by members of the Cam
pus Patrol. Olver said students
will be given a chance to ac
quaint themselves with the rules
before penalties Bre given.
Bicycles may only be driven on
roads and not on sidewalks under
the regulations and passengers
may not be carried on the bicy
cles unless a seal for this passen
ger is a part of the vehicle.
Bicycles must have a lighted
headlamp visible for 500 feet and
must have a lighted tail light or
reflector at least one and one-half
inches in diameter and visible for
500 feet if they are ridden at
night.
The rules stipulate that bicy
cles are not allowed to be
parked on sidewalks, inside
buildings, at entrances to build
ings or where they may block
traffic and cause fire hazards.
Bicycles must also have a warn
