The meetings were to be one
part of a campaign planned for
the next two weeks prior to the

time the plan will go before the
student body in a referendum,

funds for campus AM radio facili
ties.
The trustee , , accepted the gift,
with the stipulation that if in
structional needs could be met
through contract with a private
station, then the funds would
be allocated to the College of the
Liberal Arts "to further the train
ing of students in the mass com
munications media."
Dennis said Monday if the
University's—negotiations with
WMAJ are concluded satisfac•
!wily. the money probably will
be used for such projects as
scholarships and internships for
communications students.
None of the gift money would
go to WMAJ, he said.
Specifically, Dennis named as
included in the WMAJ proposals:
•Turning over to the Univer
sity a room in WMAJ's Glennland
Building studios.
• Aid in training communication
students.
• Use of tape recorders.
•Running a direct wire from
WMAJ into Carnegie Building.
Concet ning progress on the
talks with WMAJ, Dennis said,
"all we've done with them is to
sit down and start negotiating."
He said on March 18 that he
expected some sort of agree•
ment, possibly a long term con
tract, to be reached within a
month.
"We would certainly like to be
gin this program by September,"
he said.

He said he hoped that the next
meeting would be a great im

All-University president Jay
Feldstein also expressed his dis
appointment over the lack of in
terest on the part of the student
body "to acquaint themselves with
the facts of the plan for their own
future benefit "
Feldstein said he believed that
the lack of attendance was due to
the fact that the realization of
the importance of this step for

WSGA To
Explain Big
Sister Plan
Members of the Women's Stu
dent Government Association Big-
Little Sister Committee will hold
meetings tonight in women's resi
dence halls to explain the Big
Sister program planned for next
fall.
The program was started this
year to help freshman women feel
more at home when they arrived
on campus for the first time. Lit
tle sisters are assigned to upper
classwomen in the same curricu
lum and, when possible, from the
same home location.
Freshmen, sophomores and jun
iors may pick up applications at
the meetings tonight. Big sister
requirements are a 2. all-univer
sity average and a character ref
erence from the coed's hostess.
According to Dorothea Harms,,
committee chairman, a big sister{
has two responsibilities. She must'
write during the summer telling
her little sister about campus ac-,
tivities, courses, dress and cus
toms and then visit her in Sep- 1
tember to personally welcome her i
to the campus.
Miss Harms said that freshmen
who had big sisters this year were
glad to have someone to turn to
,when they had personal problems
land questions.
Applications should be returned
Ito dormitory hostesses by April
112. Big sisters will be sent their
little sister's address around the
first week in August.
Town women may get applica
tions at their meeting or at the
Hetzel Union desk.

Board issued 97 blackmarks, 32

two strict week campuses yes

Sixty-one black marks were
given for signing in or out in
correctly for vacation, 19 for one

orderly rooms when leaving for
vacation, 6 for excessive noise
and 2 for failure to have a guest
sign in or out properly.
One o'clock removals were
given to 32 women students who
signed out incorrectly for Easter
vacation. One woman student re
ceived a lenient weekend campus
for the same offense.
Two strict weekend campuses
were given for dating on a trav
eling one and for a drinking of
fense. Although the woman stu
dent was over 21, the board pen
alized her because it thought her
co n d u c t was unbecoming to a
Penn State woman.
Two strict week campuses were
issued for first drinking offenses.
Letters will be sent to the two
offenders' homes.
The Daily Collegian reporter
was barred from hearing one of
the cases. The only explanation
given was that the board felt it
would be best that the reporter
; not be present.
