The Organizational Board
of Control has announced its
plans to ferret out campus
“ghost” organizations.
The board will review all or
ganizations chartered by the Sen
ate Committee on Student Af
fairs to discover if all are still
in existence.
Student Government Associa
tion President Leonard Julius ex
plained the board’s purpose last
night.
“The board is also a type of
court of original jurisdiction,” he
said.
It can hear cases concerning vi*
olations by various organizations.
It may not, Julius said, enforce
its decisions itself, but it may
make recommendations to the
Senate Committee for action.
All the board’s decisions are
subject to review by the Senate
Sub-committe on Organizational
Control.
The board is composed of eight
members, who are chosen by in
terview with the SGA President.
Each member- must be a president
of an organization chartered by
the Senate Committee and must
have a 2.4 All-University average.
Mortar Board Drops
From Hat Council
Mortar Board, senior women’s honorary leadership society,
has announced it would withdraw from-the Hat Society Coun
cil, due to the organization’s lack of purpose.
In a letter to council president Stanley Foster, Mortar
Board listed four reasons as the basis of its decision to quit
the council.
• Since the cheerleaders have
taken control of pep rallies, Mor
tar Board feels that the major
function of the council has been
eliminated,
•Mortar Board questions the
need for $5 ' dues required of
council members! In the past, the
letter pointed out, fhe accumula
tion of council funds was used to
help societies having financial
difficulties. Mortar. Board feels
this is no longer necessary.
•Mortar Board feel? .that each
society has more worthwhile
projects than the council, and
feels that greater efficiency of
time could be produced if- the
individual projects could, 1 proceed
independent of the council.

came out of the workshop on Uni
covered two general areas: the
more efficient and better use of
the physical plant and University
staff; and the expansion of rec
reational, social and extracurri
cular activities.
Another method of insuring
sufficient time to change classes
was a warning system which
would indicate the begirVng
and end of classes.
Members asked that such a sys
tem be investigated as well as
the possibility of synchronizing
clocks throughout the University.
These suggestions were made as
possible solutions to problems
that may arise in he next few
years of both student and campus
expansion.
Transportation, another prob
lem that will come up in the next
few years, was also dealt with by
workshop members.
Some solutions to this problem
were: facilities for bicycle trans
portation on campus; self financ
ing parking on campus; chartered
express bus service betwen State
College and large cities; and the
private establishment of a bus
service between the outlying res
idential areas and the main cam
pus.
In the field of recreational ex
pansion, members recommended
that the University construct a
swimming pool to be converted
during the summer for open air
use, to be equipped for coeduca
tional use and to have spectator
facilities. They asked that horse
back riding facilities be provided
on a rental basis and that swim
ming, diving, weight lifting, and
fencing teams be reestablished on
the intercollegiate level.

could do the job just as easily,
eliminating the need for the
council. It also feels, that the
council's status has not improved
during the past several years,
bringing a need for definite ac
tion. '
Foster told The Daily Collegian
that the issue would be discussed
at Sunday’s council meeting.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 7, 1959
Dock Strikers Sent
Back to Work by Ike
on / ALM SPRINGS > Calif. (/P) — President Eisenhower paved the way yesterday for an
80-day cooling-off halt of the dock strike by invoking the Taft-Harlley law. He said the
Atlantic and Gulf Coast shutdown by the independent International Longshoremen's Asso
ciation threatens national health and safety.
The President deferred similar action in the 84-day-old nation-wide steel strike. But
he hinted he soon may use the
Taft-Hartiey back-to-\voik com t
injunction piovisions in that
shutdown, too.
James C. Hageriy, White House
press secretary, noted the new
collapse of labor-maragement ne
gotiations in the steel strike and
told a news conference at Eisen
hower’s vacation headquarters:
"The President has asked me
to say that this situation is not
collective bargaining, which is
the instrument open to a free
people in major economic dis
putes.
"This seems to bo getting down
more and -more to a trial of
strength between two groups
with the American public the
greatest loser
In Washington, Labor Depart
ment officials predicted a baek
to-work injunction will be ob
tained in federal court by Friday.
An ILA spokesman, informed of
.the President’s action, said in
'New York*. "We always obey the
i government.”
Eisenhower's use of the Tail-
Hartley law in the dock strike
came with the shutdown only
six days old.
In the dock tie-up, which has
halted shipping from Maine to
Texas, Eisenhower said in an ex
ecutive order that the strike “will
imperil the national health and
safety’ 1 if.permitted to continue.
- The President added the strike
also impedes the flow of neces
sary perishable products, includ
ing food, to heavily populated
Atlantic and Gulf Coast polls.
As the first step under the
Taft-Harlley national emer
gency provisions. Eisenhower
named a three-man fact-find
ing board and instructed the
members to report to him by
Saturday. The board makes no
recommendations.
Both sides in the strike were
told to appear today in Washing
ton before the board. The hear
ing is expected lo take only one
day.

Bike Derby Planned
By Collegian Staff
Shine up your bicycles, girls, The Daily Collegian is going
to sponsor a Coed Bike Derby.
Probably one of the first of its kind ever held at the
University, fhe derby will take place Saturday afternoon,
May 21.
A. definite site for the derby has not been established
although the intramural football
field and the new ROTC drill
field, opposite the Wagner Mili
tary Science Building, are being
considered.
The derby date is exactly one
week before the start of the
spring semester final examin
ations. It will be designed to
allow coeds—and many male
spectators—a last chance to let
off steam before finals.
The derby will be open to all
coeds for both individual and
group competition. Independent
groups and sororities will be en
couraged to enter the event.
Although a few “serious” races

will be held, the major part of
the program will consist of comic
races and other stunt events.
- The competition will be set
un so that small organizations
—and small coeds, as well
will have a chance to win derby
trophies. Bicycles, tricycles and
maybe even unicycles will be
used.
Ruth Briggs, Collegian promo
tion manager, and Lolli Neubarth,
public relations director, will
serve as co-directors of Derby
Day. Members of the Collegian
staff will serve as committeemen.
