TIM to Ask
Night's Use
1 f HUB Lot
The Town Independent Men'S
Council decided last night to ask
Albert F. Diem, vice president
for business administration, to
open the HUB parking lot this
Saturday night.
The Council is holding Las
Vegas Night at that time and an
ticipates the need for more park
ing facilities.
Prior to the decision, Robert
Fry, council member, reported to
Council that he has been investi
gating the current parking situa
tion. Fry said that he was told by
John Pezzoni, director of person
nel parking, that University em
ployees do not pay for their spaces
and that more parking permis
sions have been alloted to em
ployees than there are spaces.
Fry said that he has also talked
to Philip Mark, traffic violation
officer, who told him that all
money collected for tickets is put
toward scholarships.
As for the $l5 fee paid by stu
dents for parking spaces, Mark
told Fry that the money is used
for maintenance and the construc
tion of new lots.
TIM Council centered its main
discussion around the HUB park
ing lot. One member reported that
he had spoken to Louis Berrena,
food service manager. Berrena
said that the closing of the HUB
lot might be the reason that the
terrace room has not had the extra
business which was expected this
year.

cided to delegate Fry to ask Diem
for the .opening of the lot on ;
Saturday.
In other business, Council de

Over 825 coeds from 24 sororities will participate in the
Greek Week exchange dinners next Wednesday, Ron Smith,
dinner co-chairman announced last night.
Members of all sororities on campus except Delta,Gamma,
which probably will not be able to participate because of
scheduling conflicts, will be en
tertained in the 49 fraternities
participating, Smith said.
Changes in the point system
have been made to provide that
each sorority with 50 per cent
participation will receive five
points toward the over-all Greek
Week trophy. Former rules re
quired 75 per cent participation.
Each fraternity participating will
automatically receive five points.
This will be the first time that
all the sorority women will eat
in the fraternity houses. In pre
vious years fraternity men were
entertained by sorority host
esses in the residence halls.
Fraternity. hosts will pick up
the coeds at 5:30 p.m. in desig

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE

Hall he had organized to guard
it, Adam Gajewski, junior in
electrical engineering from Nan
ticoke, protested, "I don't know
but they should have been there."
He added that marauders
from Syracuse were expected
some time during the rest of
the week and made a plea for
the men of Penn State to join
in guarding the Lion in one of
the shifts between 8 p.m. and
4 a.m.
Gajewski also said that he is
working on a plan whereby the
guards will send someone to call
the first and second floors of the
West Halls residences and ask for
help in case the men guarding
the Lion are overpowered by the
scheming Syracuse plotters.
Evelyn Cline, freshman in edu
cation from Derry, said that as
she was looking out of her win
dow in McKee Hall, she saw four
bays painting the Lion. "They're
painting the Lion," she screamed.
The mysterious painters heard her
cry and began running madly
down the street.
However, the Lion, once more
stands proudly unblemished as
the men and women from West
Halls scrubbed the Lion with
water and Whisk. One coed
who was not supplied with a
mop used her hairbrush to wash
the Lion clean.
In response to the mounting
spirit to beat Syracuse a "Squeeze
the Orange" pep rally will be held
at 7 tonight in front of Old
Main.
A motorcade will begin at 6:30
tonight behind Simmons, will
pass all the residence halls, go by
the fraternity houses and parade
back through town ending at Old
Main.
Speakers at the rally will be
Linecoach Sever (Tor) Toretti,
Henry Oppermann, captain of the
football team, and Jim. Kerr, star
halfback.

pre-medicine from Haverford,
