A strong surge of arctic air
moved into Pennsylvania last
night and it will remain for a
few days. This cold air mass,
which has temperatures of 35 de
grees below zero in its core, has
prompted a cold wave warning to
wlil
be issued for the State College
area. Following on the heels of
the snow and rain of yesterday,
this air mass will be attended by
strong winds, partly cloudy skies,
and a few snow flurries today.
With diminishing winds and clear
skies tonight, the temperature
will fall to one of the lowest
levels of the winter.
Although no snow of conse
quence is due for several days,
there is no relief from the cold
weather likely in the next few
days.
Windy and cold weather will
continue this afternoon with a few
snow flurries likely. Temperatures
will be close to 12 degrees early
today rising slowly to an after
noon high of 25 degrees. Clear
and cold tonight with a low of
only 4 above zero.

Board Chairman Ronald Siders
said the group’s recommendation
will be sent to the Senate Sub
committee on Organizational Con
trol today. The removal of social
privileges will be effective Mon
day.
The board heard seven cases
et last night's hearings and ac
quitted three fraternities. Two
more will be acquitted upon
presentation of a transcript to
bear out the testimony of the
fraternity presidents.
Theta Delta Chi, Phi Kappa
Sigma and Theta Chi fraternities
were found not guilty of pledging
men without the proper average
while Phi Kappa Psi and Delta
Sigma Phi must present the tran
scripts of the students involved
in order to be formally acquitted
of the charge.
The hoard plans to hear one
more case—Beta Theta Pi—on the:
same charges, Siders said. Beta
Theta Pi was unable to appear
at last night’s hearing and will
be heard next week by the IFC
judicial body.
This is the first instance in
two years where the board has
recommended removal of social
privileges for a fraternity for
pledging men without averages.
The Senate Sub-Committee will
hear the case probably today and
make its If the
fraternity’s social privileges are
removed, it may not entertain wo
menguests at any time during the
probation period.
Last week the board completed
a series of inquiries into late and
non-pledge registration violations
and fined several fraternities.

The Kremlin is creeping in on
campus.
An unknown pair of Russian
students created havoc and ac
tivity on the fourth floor of Ewing
Hall Sunday morning when they
converted the names of all the
coeds there into Slavic. The re
jaction to this came fast and fur

Mysierious notes appeared on
the mirror in the washroom.
"Comrades: There will be a
meeting in the hall closet at 12
midnight. Feb. 29. Bring your
own vodka," and "There will be
a meeting in room 420 (no such
room exists in Ewing) of the
F. 8.1. to counteract the subver

housemother saw the signs. The
name cards were torn from their
slots on the doors; bulletins of
meetings were stripped from the
mirror; ring leaders were sought;
whispers of subversive activity
swept through the halls.
All seemed quiet on the So

new signs appeared, ovilches
