PAGE EIGHT 4 Students Design Santo's New Home Santa Claus has come to State College early, courtesy of the College of Engineering and Architecture and the State College Chamber of Commerce who provided him with a home. Santa's little red house at have a chimney but in future! years it will have everything elsei necessary for the comfort of good, St. Nick. Twenty-seven juniors in archi tectural design' and architectural engineering submitted designs for Santa's dwelling, according to Phillip F. Hallock, professor of architect tire. He reported that from there, four designs were used as the basis for the final plan. Those who submitted the top designs are Richard Meinzer, junior in architecture from Ken nett Square: Frederick Psolka, junior in architectural engin eering from Tunkhannock; Win ton Seybold, senior in architec tural engineering from New Kensington; and David Engdahl, junior in archifecture from York. The designs were judged by Ronald R. Rumbaugh. executive vice-president of the local cham ber of commerce. and members of the department of architecture. The little red house was de signed to be demountable for use each year. It was constructed by 0. W. }Touts & Son, Inc. The house is the pilot unit of a Winter Wonderland to be de vrlaped in future years by the State College Chamber of Com merce. HaDock said. As yet it has not been decided what buildinas shall be included in the viTh ge, but the original plan is to construct an addi tional unit each year until it is completed. The idea was originated by the limber of Commerce to enhance Political Party Platforms T. A non-profit University Coop Shop to be set up to give Penn State students the lowest possible prices on such items as textbooks, school supplies, and possibly clothing. This has been tried and proved successful in many other Universities. 2. Voluntary R.0.T.0 program which will fulfill the provisions of the Morrill Act and which has been given the approval of the Department of Defense. _ 3. An investigation into the possibilities of setting up student-run, student-owned, multi-level parking areas in order that the parking problems can be alleviated. These lots could possibly pay for them selves by charging hourly rates which might eliminate the need for the bi-semester parking fees as now assessed. 4. With the announced lack of facilities on the part of the College of Physical Education, the requirements for physical education should be changed to four credits instead of- two years as now stated in the Senate Regulations. This would let students under the four-term system complete their requirements for physical educa tion in one year. 5. The following is the pledge of action to carry out these planks: A. Within the tenure of office and after thorough investigation relative legislation will be brought before S.G.A., along with petitions from the student body. 1, S.G.A. coordinate all student governing organizations into a central group with S.G.A. at its head, including such groups as Leonides, Town Independent Men, campus men's organizations, and community councils and area councils. 2, S.G.A. become a functioning student government by taking over judicial and disciplinary proceedings from the dean of men's and women's offices. By SARALEE ORTON the foot of the Mall may not the mercantile setup of the town during the Christmas season, Hal lock said. He said that the archi tecture students had entered into a cooperative enterprise with the Chamber of Commerce and no Prize was offered for the best de sign. The only reason that Hallock could give for the failure of the little house to have a chimney for Santa's convenience was that it was probably more economical to build it without one. The first Driver Training course for high school students was taught in the State College High School in 1933. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

Campus Party University Party Mystery of Pollock Circle Solved by Head of Housing Probably many Pollock res idence hall coeds; searching their minds desperately for a conversation topic as they leave with their Saturday .night date, have wondered how the brick circle in the ,courtyard fits in the Univer sity's construction plans.
