One will be played on Beaver Field, the other will be on the IM Field.

After filling out the cards, the rushees will turn them into the head hostess in their residence hall. Women rushees who live in town will turn them into Mrs. Virginia Hathaway in Atherton Hall.

Moroccan officials said there were 1000 dead obviosuly a guess at the stage rescue opera tions had reached last night— and many more injured.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2. 1960 The football team cannot play in Beaver Stadium, he said, because the condition of the field will probably be poor that early in the spring. The com mittee cannot plan the carnival for Beaver Field either because the contractor is scheduled to begin moving dirt for the new building there anytime. He will probably have begun by April 30, Caplan said. The drill field adjacent to the Wagner Military Science Build ing is the first alternative to the IM Field, he said, if electric power can be extended to the drill field. Other suggestions were the parking lot between Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi, where the carni- 1 val has been held before, and the skating rink. "The last resort would be to switch the carnival to Monday night." Caplan said. Monday, May 2, was originally scheduled as the rain date. The carnival last yea" covered an area 120 yds. by ( 0 yds. It could be limited to a smaller area, carnival chairman, Robert Wayne said, but the larger area would be better. The final area needed will depend on the number of groups which enter the carnival. There will be 12 judges for the (carnival, three for each of the story categories plus three for games. The judges will be mem bers of the staff and faculty and one or two merchants from State College, Wayne said.

Any student is eligible to en ter animals. No experience in showing and fitting is necessary. Last night the entire city of 40,000 was being evacuated, the Moroccan radio said. A French settler evacuated from the area said, "All I can remem ber is screaming and weeping and' blood. I do not want to live there lany more." I Rear Adm. Frank Akers, com mander of the U.S. Fleet air arm in the Eastern Atlantic and Medi terranean, toured the stricken city and reported a number of Ameri cans were among the injured. He said it was a great disaster and that Americans, Europeans I and Moroccans in the wreckage were in pathetic condition, some l having been trapped more than half a day. He reported the Aga dir Hospital was destroyed.

Simes to Discuss Ruling on Transfers Dean of Men Frank J. Simes will attend the SGA Assem bly meeting tonight to answer questions on the University ruling requiring almost all transfer students to live in the residence halls. A motion to rescind a proce dural ruling which limits debate of the SGA President at Assem bly will also be discussed. The Assembly will meet at 7:30 -in 203 lietzel Union. The ruling on transfer housing has been a controversial one since it was first announced by the Uni versity. At the Assembly's last meet ing it debated a motion to go on record as opposing the regu lation. However, with lengthy discussion the motion was ta bled, removed from the table and then retabled to be pre seated again this week; Howard Byers (U.-Sr.) who pro posed the recommendation said his main objection to the ruling is that it offers an option to those ICCB On Assembly? See Page 4 erday, were given because a party which the fraternities held last weekend at Sigma Alpha Mu. According to Robert Parsky, chairman of the board, fraternities had also been negligent at the door and four freshmen entered without being checked." The recommendation for loss of social privileges must be approved E by the Senate subcommittee on fI group discipline. The committee lis expected to meet later this !week, Parsky said. The freshman who was caught drinking has also been penalized. He has had all rush ing and pledging privileges re moved and may not have any associations with any fraternity for a year. He is also being re ported to On-Campus Tribunal for his actions. Parsky explained that the 4- week penalty means that neither fraternity may entertain women during that period with the ex ception of parents The probation penalty simply means that the fraternities will be under the careful observation of the Board for. the remainder of the semester. "At the end of the four weeks, the fraternities may resume all activities and all privileges," Par sky said, "but they will be under stricter surveilance." On Feb. 12. 1957. the same two fraternities were penalized for the same offense as was in volved in the present case; that is, the violation of the IFC rush ing code which states that fresh men under the age of 21 may not drink alcoholic beverages at a fraternity function. In 1957 the fraternities lost their social privileges for five weeks land were placed on probation for three additional weeks. At that time, the IFC Board of Control said that the violation was on of "negligence" and not a di rect violation of the code. This was the reason given for the le nient penalty at that time. who wish to join a fraternity or have a "valid reason" for not liv ing in the residence halls. He said he realizes the Univer 'sity's situation, but that he does not agree with their solution to the problem: "We ought to realize !that the University exists for us; we do not exist for the Univer sity," he said. Byers said he feels the students oppose the ruling and that it is Assembly's duty to take this opin ion to the administration. Assembly will also debate a suggestion from the Rules Committee to rescind the proce dural ruling passed last spring which allowed the SGA Pres ident to speak at Assembly only in executive reports and to, of fer expert or executive advice. Jay Hawley, Rules Committee Chairman, brought the motion before the SGA Cabinet Monday night, but Cabinet expressed no opinion on it. Hawley told Cabinet the corn mittee felt the ruling was unne cessary. The SGA Reorganization and Re-evaluation Committee also favors eliminating the ruling, he said. FIVE CENTS
