MARCH 1. 1960 Transfer Protest Discussed By CAROL BLAKESLEE After a half-hour debate last night the SGA Cabinet voted to oppose a recommend dation that Assembly protest the University ruling on trans fer housing. SGA President Leonard Julius explained that it was an "eco nomic necessity" for the Univer sity to require all transfers- to live in the residence halls. The ruling excepted those who wished to join a fraternity or those who gave a valid reason for not want ing to live in the halls. The main opposition to the rul ing was voiced by Harald Sand strom, president of the Associa tion of Independent Men If the University needs to fill the halls, he asked, why is it offering any option at all? The halls could be made more attractive to get students to live in them, he said. ICCB President David Epstein suggested that SGA was not being very discriminating by "constant ly running to the administration" with opposition to their plans. Cabinet took no stand on a Rules Committee proposal to re scind the ruling which limits the SGA President's debate at Assem bly. Two Cabinet members sug gested that the Supreme Court, rather than Assembly, should de cide the constitutionality of the ruling. In other action Cabinet ap proved a bill to have more tele phones made available in the Hetzel Union Building, but added that students should be able to call downtown on the phones and that the funds should come from the administration, if pos sible, and from SGA if not. Cold Weather Will Continue It's too early to determine whether March will go out like a lamb, but there's little doubt that shell come in like a roaring Nittany lion. Present indications point to a continuation of sub-fr peratures for at least three more days. And to make things worse, some snow may fall tomorrow night. Today will be mostly c lou d y_ and quite cold with a few brief snow flurries and a high of 28 degrees. Very cold weather is due to night as the mercury slips to the 14 degree mark. During a formal call later at the Presidential Palace, the President reiterated that the Americas are determined, "to oppose any ag gression from outside, no matter what form it may take." "A principal purpose of my visit here," he said, "is to demonstrate our eagerness to remove from our mutual relations any possible sus picion, fear or restraint—to dem onstrate our hope to work with you in perfect trust. In this effort a primary factor is the observance by all of the principle of non intervention." Pledge Date Set by IFC March 27 will be the earliest possible date that men may be pledged by fraternities this semester, the Interfrateinity Council decided last night. In other business, the Council discussed a new plan in regard to transfer students who wish to join fraternities. SGA Extends Flight Deadline To March 15 The deadline for making deposits on the SGA spon sored flight to Europe this;, summer has been tentatively extended to March 15. With two-thirds of the necessary applications already received, SGA President Leonard Julius said he expects many more by the end of the week. Assemblymen and members of the SGA Flight Committee vis ited fraternities last night to give first-hand information on the pro posed flight. SGA is offering round trip tick- F ets to Europe on a flight sched ' uled to leave New York for Lon don June 13 and to return from Paris July 23.

Both men and women who wish re-assignment to their present rooms and those who wish dif ferent rooms may apply. Sorority women are not to sub mit contracts individually, Otto E. Mueller, director of housing, said. They should be turned in together, he said. Nittanyimprovement May Cost $150,000 The plans for improving living conditions in the Nittany area will cost a "minimum" of $150,000, Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration, said. The plans have been completed and are now being esti mated, Diem said, and as soon as estimates are complete a formal request for the appropriation will be filed. Diem explained that an in formal request for the necessary funds had already been made and he expects a definite answer with in the next two weeks. When asked whether or not he thought the money would be granted, Diem said: "I have a suspicion if will, and if so the work will be done this summer." A more, complete plan of the projected improvement work will not be released until it is begun in late spring, but it includes general landscaping and painting, he said. "There will always be a dif ference in the quality of housing in the Nittany area," Diem said, "but the difference in cost will probably widen in the future." He said the rates charged for living in Nittany would not be lowered, but that they would By KAREN HYNECKEAL Greek Week Chairman Ronald Novak explained the difficulties in obtaining a room in which to hold the IFC sings. A motion to move the pledging date up to March 13 was proposed by James Cober, president of Tau Kappa Epsilon. Heated discussion followed with many presidents protesting that this change would make rushing "more frantic than it already is " Others objected that it would not give the rushees time to see as many houses as possible. The motion was defeated by a 30 to 22 vote. David Espenshade, president of Delta Tau Delta, then moved that the date be moved up to April 10. This motion was also 'defeated. The Council finally voted to be gin pledging men at noon, March 27. Steven Ott, IFC rushing chair man, emphasized that "rushing does not end on March 27, but this simply means that rushees who have accepted bids may be come pledges on or after this date. "By our deferred rushing sys tem, rushing continues all semes ter and thus gives rushees ample time to make a wise decision," he said IFC President Gary Gentler reminded reminded all freshmen who are the least bit interested in joining a fraternity to wait before sign ing their housing contracts. Once a contract has been signed, the man is bound by it to live in the residence hall for the entire year. "Since these contracts do not have fo be signed immediately, r would advise the freshmen to give careful thought to their future plans regarding frater nity life before deciding, Gentz ler said. In regard to transfer students, a new 3-week plan has been adopted, Gentzler said.

In discussing complaints made by some Nittany men. Diem said that a lot of little com plaints had piled up. He ex plained that the water problem in the area had already been taken care of. The Nittany Area Council de cided at its last meeting to send a letter to each of the state legis lators in Harrisburg, describing their living conditions and ask ing for increased appropriations for the University. When asked for a comment on this action, Diem said: "The legis lature hasn't anything to do with residence halls. They might be interested, but none of the state appropriations goes for this."
