Oitr Batig VOL. 60. No. 77 STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1960 FIVE CENTS Transfers To Live All transfer students from University centers and other institutions, in addition to all incoming freshmen, will be required to live in the residence halls for one year, The Daily Collegian learned today. The new requirement is being made because of the extra space made available with the completion of the new halls on campus. Under the previous system, only incoming freshmen were required to live in the halls for a year. Students from off campus campuses and advanced standing students transferring from other colleges and universi ties were permitted to move di rectly into fraternity houses, downtown rooming or residence halls Navy Asks\ Money For Sub Fleet WASHINGTON (./P) The Navy, in a bid to build a mis sile-firing submarine fleet as soon as possible, will ask for $975 million to pay for six more of the craft than are currently planned. If the request is relayed to Con gress and passed there, the Po laris submarine program would be shoved forward by more than a third. At present 15 of the nu clear-powered boats are on the way, in one stage or another. Burke testified earlier that a fleet of 45 such subs, equipped with 16 missiles each to strike at targets in the Soviet Union from under the sea, should give the United States a big enough retaliatory force to keep the Soviets at bay. Questioned by Democratic sena tors, Burke said he probably would continue to support Presi dent Eisenhower's budget even if the President should turn down the Navy's appeal for a stepup in the Polaris program. "If I didn't accept it, I wouldn't remain in my present position," the Navy chief said. Sen. Howard Cannon (D-Nev.), pressed Burke for a 'yes' or 'no' answer as to whether the admin istration defense budget is "doing enough to protect the safety and security of this country at this time." "I can't answer it yes or no," Burke said. News Staff to Meet The news staff of The Daily Collegian will meet at 5 p.m. today in the Collegian city room. The meeting is compul sory for all staffers. —Collegian Photo by Marty Levin BOOKS, BOOKS.

The total fall enrollment of the students in these categories in cludes about 700 students. Half of these would ordinarily live in the halls anyway, a University lofficial said.

(foltrgiatt SGA Chair Debated By Cabinet By NICKI WOLFORD SGA Cabinet decided last night that whether or not the president or vice president chairs the Assembly is "purely an academic question" and Cabinet is satisfied. with the present system. Jay Hawley, Rules Committee chairman, said the only reason for favoring an Assembly chaired by the president is more effective communication. But, he said, he doubted whether or not the differ ence in the effectiveness warrant ed a change in the constitution. Harald Sandstrom, president of the Association of Independent Men, said he thought the issue was raised in the first place be cause encampment members were more concerned with immediate personalities than with long-range operation. When a vote Was called for, Leonard Julius, SGA president, proposed that Cabinet go on rec ord as considering the issue pure ly as an academic question and stand as satisfied With the present system but leaving the decision to change the system up to the Assembly, The bill proposing that the SGA president instead of the vice pres ident choliir the Assembly will be presented at the Assembly meet ing tomorrow night. Prior to the Cabinet meeting, the Rules Committee decided not to include on the agenda a bill calling for the election of class vice presidents.

It will be open only to Fraser Rd. on the west and Old Main on the east. The closing of the road to thru traffic is the first move in the University's plan to close it to traffic entirely in the near future. Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administra tion, said the new arrangement will lift the pressure on students moving to and from classes, and, at the same time, end the frustration created by traf fic congestion on mid-campus. "It is our observation," Diem said, "that thru traffic is steadi ly increasing on Pollock Rd. There are days when the volume is such that pedestrian traffic moves only at great risk." Parking on central campus will not be affected by the change. Diem said that traffic will con tinue one-way north on Fraser Rd., and that all parking space , presently allocated in the cen tral campus area will remain open. The new routing of traffic does not mean that regulations con cerning student driving and non ,emergency stopping will change, 'Diem said. Students will not be able to drive on Pollock Rd. at any time even though thru traf fic has been prohibited, he said. Posts marking the lines of demarcation will be erected on i Pollock Rd., just a few yards east of Fraser Rd. on the west and a few yards west of the service road adjoining Graduate Hall on the east. These posts will be installed Monday. Signs warning "Caution, dead end road" have already been erected at the ends of Pollock Rd. A chain will stretch from a middle post in the road to a post on the curb on the south side of Carnegie Building and at the oth er end of the "dead end," thus blocking one half of the road. The other half will have no chains, but will be divided by a post. Bicycles will be permitted to pass between these posts. However, no power-driven ve hicles will be permitted. Some 328 parking spaces are in volved in the new plan, but none of them will be affected, Diem said. Parking behind Graduate Hall, Osmond Building, Mineral Indus tries and adjacent areas will con (Continued on page twelve) Collegian to Hold Open House An open house for all stu dents interested in joining the news, sports or photography staffs of The Daily Collegian will be held from 6:45 to 8 p.m. tomorrow, Any student with at least a 2.0 All-University average may work on the Collegian.
