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.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
to Be Required
in Dorms One Year
By JIM STROTHMAN
The plan was first disclosed
at the annual Board of Trustees
meeting in Harrisburg last week
and the exact details of it are
expected to be released by
President Eric A. Walker in a
speech at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in

The new plan will permit fra
ternity men transferring from oth
er schools to move directly into
their respective fraternities with
out having to reside in the halls'
for a year. The new rule will in—
volve only independent men
transferring with advanced stand
ing, as well as the students who
have a change of assignment
from the University campuses to
the main campus.
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.
Had the plan not been initi
ated, the University would be
losing money because of the
wasted space in the dormitories,
he said.
Information about the plan will
!probably be distributed to trans
fer students from the admissions
office as soon as the plan is of
ificially released and publication
of it can be made.
Gary Gentzler, Interfraternity

to be held at 7 - 30 p.m. Monday
in the Hetzel Union assembly
room.

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.

Traffic Bans
Ar ^ Enlarged
Pollock to Become Dead End;
Central Parking Unaffected
Pollock Rd. will be closed to all through traffic beginning
Monday. 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
