Sugges
A merger of the j
of Independent Men
ides was recommen
day at the Indie En
Members of the v
the Joint Planning
which suggested th
felt that the two c
should be merged <
more fully with the
living plan.
Carl Smith, encampment co
chairman, said only t iiree or four
other universities of Penn State’s
size have two independent groups.
Women were assured that
they would not be under
represented in the merged or
ganisation. Committees would
be formed to deal with sepa
rate men's and women's prob
lems.
The activities workshop recom
mended that when members and
non-members of hat societies par
ticipate in a University function
such ns Orientation Week coun
seling, all participants wear a
similar distinguishing badge. The
workshop report said that often
members of hat societies have
more prestige among their coun
selees than non-members.
The idea of an independent
honorary group or haf society
was rejected because of the
large number of those, groups
already on campus.
The public relations committee
recommended that student organ
izations be supplied with a list of
borough officials to be contacted
for problems in town-student re
lations. Borough officials would
be provided with a similar list
of student leaders.
The formations of AIM band,
an AIM-Leonides sponsored chor
us and an AIM and' Leonides
quartet was recommended by the
musical activities workshop.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE. PA., TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 22. 1959
By SANDY PADWE
Sports Editor
Lucas more than lived up to
his pre-season press releases by
completing 10 of 11 passes and
running for an additional 48 yards
in seven carries for a grand total
of 202 yards.
"Lucas is tremendous," said
Missouri coach Devine in the
gloomy Tiger dressing room af
ter the game. "He's one of the
best quarterbacks I've seen
anywhere."
Penn State coach Rip Engle
went further. “That Lucas,”
Charles the ripper said, “had his
best day in a Penn State uniform.
He can throw, run and punt . . .
what else is there.” j
While Lucas was outstanding!
the rest of his teammates played
a wonderful game too. Jim Kerr,
captain .Pat Botula, and Dick
Hoak, the starting backfield kept
grinding out the yardage while
the line led by tackle Charley
Janerette spent a good part of
the afternoon in Mizzou’s back
field.

Fraternity Housin
The Board of Trustees is considering several campus sites
for fraternity expansion, according' to Benjamin Jones, mem
ber of the board.
Jones said the board tabled the original proposal made by
President Eric A. Walker because of a possible conflict of
interests with the University’s
long range expansion plans. I
Walker sought land near the|
sheep barns which was purchased!
from the estate of Judge Mitchell,
former member of the trustees.
The land is located on the east
campus across Park Ave. from the
newly opened North Halls.
'The Long Range Develop
ment Committee couldn't make
up their mind which land they
were going to use for expan
sion," Jones said.
He said the trustees wanted to!
be sure any land allocated to
fraternities would not conflict
with proposed expansion. “I want
ed to provide enough land so all
the houses could* move,” Jones
said. He said it wasn’t fair to
provide land for some houses and
not to others.
Jones said no one had spoken
against land for the fraternities
near the radar station, also on
the east campus, “The board was
figuring on a student enrollment
of 30,000 which is a long way off,”
he said, “and even with that num
ber there would still be room near
the station for the fraternities
"I think if the proposal is
brought up again," Jones added,
"it would pass if the site were
near the radar station."
The original announcement of
the proposal being tabled was
made by Walker at the Interfra
ternity Council Encampment last
week.
Walker told the delegates to
the day-long meeting, “the fra
ternities must take the lead in
expansion.” He said the fraternity
system must expand as the Uni
versity expands or face a dimin
ishing role in the future.
The President said the present
houses would ha •» to be full be
ive to be fuu .
fbre the University could be ex
pected to provide land for addi
tional expansion.

AFL-CIO
Criticizes
Khrushchev
SAN FRANCISCO HP) The
AFL-CIO convention adopted un
animously yesterday a resolution
accusing visiting Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev of being
“more truculent and demanding
in his aggression than Stalin.”
Saying Khrushchev is trying to
annex Berlin and then put all
Germany behind the Iron Cur
tain, the resolution continued:
“The present Kremlin course to
ward the problem of German re
unification and Berlin is far
tougher than the harshest Soviet
proposals put foiward under
Stalin.”
It said the threat of Soviet
aggression and worldwide Com
munist subversion stubbornly
persist—"despite all the talk
about Moscow's 'new look' and
Khrushchev's 'peaceful coexist
ence' drive."
George Meany, federation presi
dent, told .the convention that de
spite Khrushchev’s smiling pleas
antry on his current visit, “We
cannot forget that only Satm'day
in Los Angeles he said, ‘The rock
ets are ready: the launching pads
;are ready.’ ”
i "That wasn’t a smiling, jo
| vial Khrushchev, and what does
; he mean?" Meany asked.
I “This means one hydrogen
Ibomb hitting the city of New
iYork, for instance, and a million
people dead within a half hour
and two million mure condemned
to the slow death that comes with
these weapons.
