Jazz Club to Retain
Schwab, Rec Hall
As Concert Sites
The Jazz Club may now sponsor concerts in Schwab
Auditorium and even Recreation Hall—providing it does not
exceed its funds in making financial commitment.
This agreement was reached yesterday after an hour-long
discussion of the club-s • onsored concerts in the office of Dr.
Fraternities
Get 2.-Week
Social Pro
The Senate Sub-committee on j
Group Discipline has upheld the
recommendation for a 2-week loss'
of social privileges for Sigma Chi
and Phi Mu Delta fraternities. j
Both fraternities were recom-'
mended for the loss of social
privileges by the Interfraternity
Council Board of Control last
Thursday for pledging a student
without the proper average. They
were also fined $5O each by the
board.
The sub-committee, gave both
fraternities an alternative penalty
of a 4-week loss of privileges
effective April 1 to April - 29 if
they did not wish to take the 2-
week penalty. Both fraternities
voted to take the 2-week loss
which began Monday and ends
at 8 a.m. March 9.
The two fraternities will not
be allowed to entertain women
guests during the removal period.
Board Chairman Ronald Siders
said the fraternities were guilty
of pledging one man without a
proper average—a 2.2 previous
semester All-University average
or a 2.0 All-University average.
The board heard seven cases at
last week's meeting and acquitted
three fraternities. Two more were
acquitted when they presented
official transcripts of the men in
volved to the board chairman.
Theta Delta Chi, Phi Kappa
Sigma and Theta Chi were found
not guilty of pledging men with
out averages while Phi Kappa
Psi and Delta Sigma Phi present
ed transcripts to prove their in
nocence. The board plans to hear
the case of Beta Theta Pi, who
was charged with the same vio
lation of the IFC rules, in the
near future.

Robert G. Bernreuter, special as
sistant to the president for stu
dent affairs,
The written agreement, signed
by Bernreuter and Ronald Pal
mer, Jazz Club president, states:
"It is agreed:
1. that the Jazz Club is free
to promote concerts.
2. that, in promoting concerts,
1 the Jazz Club will not, in mak
ing financial commitments, ex
ceed the sum in their account
in Associated Student Activi
ties." •
The agreement overrules a di
rective issued by Bernreuter last
week that the club could not use
Schwab or Recreation Hall for
concerts.
Bernreuter explained that this
directive was made to stop plans
for a jazz concert featuring Da
kota Staton Marith 20 in Recrea
tion Hall.
He said he took this action
because it was too big a risk
for a club which has been fi
nancially unstable for some
years.
Jazz Club officers protested
the decision claiming its $lOOO
- treasury made it quite sta
ble. But Bernreuter said it was
not enough to attempt the Staton
concert which would have cost
more than $3500.
The meeting yesterday hit an
early snag when All-Univerity
President Jay Feldstein and Ro
bert Franklin, editor of The Daily
Collegian, questioned, where the

Larry was still confined to his
wheelchair, but that his spirits
were high.
Sharp was completely paralyzed
when he broke his neck in an
accident in Recreation Hall Oct.
12, 1957.
Miss LaSpada quoted Mrs.
Sharp as saying that Larry was
"thrilled" to be able to come up
for the concert.
The concert, now completely
sold out, is the final event of a
week of activities to raise money
for Sharp. His expenses to date
have run into thousands of dol
lars and Mrs. Sharp said it costs
$5O a week to care for him now.
-The $5O includes twice-weekly
visits by a therapist. He did have
a nurse, but this was discontinued
because of the expense. Mrs.
Sharp is now serving as Larry's
nurse.
Despite the fact that he has
been confined to the wheelchair,

The listener will hear sound
from one radio in one ear and the

they are about the same. Then
the stereo effect will be heard
from anywhere in the room.
Lewellen said the number of
stereo programs will be increased
soon.
" 'HiFi Open House' will prob
ably be in stereo every week," he
said, "and so will some of the
