    WWNESDAY, OCT
House Mother
To Be Started
Ronald.Resh, lnterfraternity Council vice president, an
nounced Monday that a new training program is being
developed for house mothers.
According to Resh, the program is being drawn up by the
Dean of Men's office in conjunction with the fraternities.
A guide book for house mothers
is being written to aid them in
the proposed program.
At 9 p.m. tonight WDFM and
WMAJ will present an IFC dis
cussion program which will deal
with this problem and others
which face the fraternity system.
Gary Gentsler, IFC president,
announced that fraternities
must submit to the borough by
Nov. 1 chest x-ray pictures of all
kitchen help handling food. The
chest x-ray program is designed
as a protection for the frater
nities to prevent the possible I
spread of tuberculosis and oth
er diseases of the lungs.
Robert Parsky, IFC Board of.
Control chairman, explained some
of the IFC rules concerning rush
ing and fraternity parties. Accord
ing to Parsky, pledges who at
tended a full 12 weeks of sum
mer school this year must count
summer school grades as their
last semester averages. Transfer
pledges from schools outside the
Commonwealth Campuses are
given an automatic 2.0 average.
Parsky reported that soror
ities which hold dances at fra
ternity houses must make ar
rangements for two men to be
on door duty the entire evening.
To aid in positive indentifica
lion of IFC checkers, an orange
identification card has been issued
which will be sufficient to gain
entrance to any fraternity house.
Parsky said that the new cards
should eliminate the problem of
unauthorized men posing as IFC
checkers.
Dance Planned
By West Halls
West Halls Council reviewed
plans for its combined dance with,
Nittany Council at the regular
council meeting Monday.
An allotment of $125 was made!
to cover expenses. The council
also approved a motion to charge
25 cents admission. It must now
be approved by Nittany Council.
It was also decided that the dance
would be an informal "stag or
drag" affair,
Terry Schnure, freshman in
engineering from Lewisburg, was
appointed food and housing
chairman by the council.
Suggestions for the improve
ment of housing facilities were
also discussed. The council will
request that automatic hand dry
ers be installed in the West Halls
rest rooms, as well as drinking
fountain attachments.
Breakfast--
(Continued from page four)
More night classes were sched
uled this year than in past
years.
Academic excellence—
Prexy's theme for many
speeches this year is not
a thing of the future, but a
present realit y. Academic
standards have stiffened and
many of the "snap" courses
have gone by the wind. The
fail-out of freshman is alarm
ingly high.
The area of innovation, ex
ploration and good old-fash
ioned "trying" is perhaps Penn
State's weakest point. But it
isn't as weak as many believe.
The University ranks among
the leaders 'in finding new and
better methods of instruction
and use of resources. The key
to Penn State's future lies in
exploration and innovation.
