Jazz Club-SponsoreA 'Concerts To Be Discussed Tomorrow Jazz C 1 u b - sponsored jazz concerts—to be or .not to be. will be argued tomorrow morning at a meeting of ad ministration, student govern ment and Jazz Club officials. The meeting was called by Dr, Robert G. Bernreuter, special as sistant to the president for stu dent affairs, who announced last week that the club could not sponsor any major concerts until at least the fall of next year. ' Attending the meeting will be Bernreuter, All-University Presi dent Jay Feldstein, Geo r g e L. Donovan, coordinator, and Wil liam F. Fuller, manager of Asso ciated Student Activities; Theo dore D. Richards Jr., faculty ad viser; Ronald Palmer, president, and Peter Duncan, former presi dent, of the Jazz Club; and Ro bert Franklin, editor of The Daily Collegian. ternreuter, who said he made an, Khrushchev Further Talks up the first formal business meet- will, fact-finding mission to Mos ing of Macmillan S and Khrush- cow. chev at the Kremlin. They met Monday morning in a 2 1 / 2 -hour conference that a British source said "went off very well indeed." As in the case of the informal Macmillan and Khrushchev ex changes Sunday at a government villa 50 'miles southeast of Mos cow, neither side listed specific issues nor disclosed what the gov ernment , chiefs Said about them. The disarmament dead lock, however, apparently was a ,topic. The question of German unity and the future of West Berlin also rank high as problems of in ternational concern. - !ed what he 1 s "frankness our country It was the first formal confer ence of the British leader's good- er . followed By DENNY MALICK the decision on the concerts be cause of the club's financial in stability. expects that ' there should be more jazz concerts if incorporated with the Artist Series. , He explained 'yesterday that the major jazz concerts will be sponsored by the. Artist Series next fall and it will be up to the Jazz Club to sponsor smaller con certs "within its financial capa city." But Jazz Club 'officials have protested the decision, especially since they have been barred from having concerts in either Recrea tion Building or Schwab Auditor _ ' mum. Richards and Palmer have questioned,. B e r.n reuter's judg ment of the club's financial standing: There is about $l6OO in the treasury, they said. This will drop several hundred dollars with a contribution to World l University Service, which called off a fund-raising campaign so the club could sponsor its Four- Freshman concert. Bernreuter said the Artist He was host to Soviet authori ties at a stag dinner at the British Embassy Monday night. Whatever the eventual reaction of Soviet officialdom, Macmillan has made a hit with Moscow Uni versity students. He went from the Kermlin to lunch at the British Embassy, then paid a 35-minute visit to the 32-story university with a mes sage of goodwill from British youth. He got a riotous welcome. Thousands of youngsters crowd ed corridors and fought their way up and down in elevators of the towering structure to cheer their distinguished visitor. Security of ficers were frustrated in efforts to keep them in an orderly file. University Expansion The University is studying the possibility of providing fraternities with land and money at lower interest rates for expansion, President Eric A. Walker said last night. Walker, addressing a joint dinner of the Interfraternity Council and the Association of Fraternity Counselors, said Series sponsorship of jars con certs will continue during the 1959-60 school year after which a study will be made concern. ing its success. The study will determine whether the' spon sorship will continue. ' He urged that in the meantime the club bring top jazz groups by working with other organizations such as the Spring Week Com mittee. In this way, he said, they would be able to have the groups here but would not be financially responsible. The f i n .si ncial responsibility will undoubtedly be brought up at tomorrow's meeting to ,gether with how the club can increase its treasury when nei ther Schwab nor Recreation Building is available. IFC Opens Halls To Fraternities Fraternity members will be permitted to visit the resi dence halls at any time to see students of second-semester standing or higher. The Interfraternity Council last night voted to lift the ban on fraternity members visiting the dormitories from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The new ruling is effective immediately. The motion was brought to the' floor after Edward Hintz, IFC president, read a letter from itich ard Hufnagel, Pi Kappa Alpha, requesting that • the dormitories be open to fraternity men at night as well as in the daytime. In the I past fraternity members were only allowed in the units from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Hufnagel said it is an injus tice to the fraternity men not to be allowed in the halls to extend bids to rushees as there are relatively few first-semes ter freshmen in the living units. He said there are no first se mester students living in the Studies Needs By BILL JAFFE the University realizes the need for expanding the fraternity sys tem and will do everything pos sible to help the expansion. Whether the University would rent or sell the land for a new fraternity has not been decided, Walker said. An administration committee will also have to de termine if the University can le gally borrow money for such pur poses arits low interest rate. "We won't move the present fraternities located on campus," Walker said, "and the new land would not be able to interfere with buildings for' educational purposes." The land would be within reasonable walking distance-- three miles, Walker quipped. Under the present plans, the University borrows money at 4 per cent interest, Walker said, and it must supply a 200 per cent base on which to amortize the land and buildings. Fraternities would have to pay 6 per cent in terest rates it they borrowed the money themselves. Walker said he hopes to have the study completed in six weeks and he will present it to the Board of Trustees at its June meeting. "The University spends about $6OOO per person to build lodg ing and dining facilities for its students," Walker said. The fraternities can provide the same facilities at a much cheap er rate. Education today is a 24 hour, 7-day-a-week job and can only be accomplished in a community atmosphere of scholars and stu dents. Fraternities can and do provide this feeling of commun ity living, Walker said. He cited declining enrollment figures for the University of Pittsburgh, University of Penn sylvania and the University of Temple as examples of the de creasing interest in a commuting educational program. Only the University enrollment has in creased since 1940 while the others have declined, he said. "The increasing number of married students attending the University poses a particular problem to the fraternities," Walker said. Twenty-five per cent of the students attending universities in the nation are married and it is now common for students to have a car, wife and baby when they enter.

Ronald Siders, Board of Con trol chairman, said the board had interpreted the deferred rushing rule passed last year to include the' presentspring semester. Quiet hours have prevailed in the dorm itories thus far, Siders said, and the original intent of the rule was to keep fraternity men out of the units during study hours. Edward Kormos, Sigma Pi, moved that i. ushing privileges be extended to all first-semester freshmen during the spring se- (Continued on page eight)
