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. The cost per per
son will be about $285, based on
a minimum of 75 passengers.
A $lOO deposit is required to
reserve a seat on the plane. The
balance is payable by April 15.
Anyone who has been officially
associated with the University for
at least six months and his or her
husband, children or parents may
take advantage of the special
rates.
Students May Obtain
Contracts for Dorms
Housing contracts are available
to students until March 11.
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

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

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. Under this

ferring here from a center may

when the rates are raised in other
areas.
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."
