off a fund-raising campaign so
the club could sponsor its Four-

Whatever the eventual reaction

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

up and down in elevators of the
towering structure to cheer their
distinguished visitor. Security of

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

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

increase its treasury when nei

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.
