campaign against school fire
traps would be completed by
June, at which time the de
partment will turn its atten
tion to the campuses of Penn
sylvania's colleges and uni
versities.
John F. Dwyer. director of
the department's Inspec lion
Bureau, said there were about
600 college buildings which
would undergo scrutiny when
the campaign begins. He said
it is the bureau's aim to see
that all the college buildings
be in satisfactory condition by
the beginning of next year's
fall term.
Dwyer said that any build
ing deemed unsafe would be
ordered to close, but that the
order could be appealed. Al
though many buildings may be
ordered to close, Dwyer ex
pressed doubt that any college
would be told to close down
completely.

ITC Must Present
Evidence on Debts
The Senate Committee on Student Affairs has requested
the Interfraternity Council to present further evidence as to
the seriousness of debts left by fraternity members.
The IFC requested the Un
diplomas of graduating senior
frater a nities. The University would
be asked to withhold the diplo
mas only upon the request of in
dividual fraternities and only af
ter every reasonable effort had
been made to collect the debt.
Frank J, Simes, dean of men;
and an ex-officio member of thel
Senate committee, said the com-1
mittee wants specific cases of de-'
linquent accounts from last year
where fraternities would have reH
quested University assistance. Ed-I
ward Hintz, IFC president, is to
give Simes the evidence and he,
will turn it over to the commit
tee members.
The committee will reconsider
the request next week.
By a 50 to 3 majority, the IFC'
voted Feb. 10 to request the Uni-,
versity to withhold the diplomas.
Hart Langer, chairman of al
'committee studying the serious
ness of the problem, made the,
recommendation to request with
holding the diplomas. He said he
had received 42 replies from fra
ternities regarding the prevalence
' of the problem.
Thirty-five fraternities report
ed that the problem does exist,
32 favored the withholding of
diplomas and 10 were opposed to
the plan.

University Will Test
Campus Fire Alarms
A test of the fire alarm systems'
in 28 academic buildings and din
ing halls will be conducted next
week to check the mechanical op
eration of the systems and to fa
miliarize occupants of the build
ings with the alarms.
The tests will be conducted by
members of the staff of the De
partment of Security, headed by !
Elwood F. Olver, aided by mem-1
bers of the Department of -Mail
tenance. No physical actions on
the part of students or faculty
members is required.
"However, we hope that occu
pants of the building will take I
this opportunity to consider
what they would do .in case
their building were actually on
fire," Olver said.
Since situations in various
buildings differ considerably,
generalizations cannot be madei
about the specific course of ac
tion occupants should take in
case of emergency, Olver ex
plained. In most cases, he said,
the person should try to reach the
nearest exit as quickly as reason
able, but in some areas this may
not be the best course of action.
Announcement of the tests will
be placed in all classrooms and
offices prior to the test. The com
plete schedule of tests is given
below so that occupants of the
