No. 71 Trustees Okay Plans For New Construction Preliminary plans for the construction of an addition to the Electrical Engineering building and for alterations to Carnegie, the Stock Judging Pavilion and the ice skating rink were approved at the Sat urday meeting of the Board of Trustees, Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, said yesterday. The Electrical Engineering ad dition will be located east of the present building and south of Willard, Wiegand said. According to the proposed plans, the unit will have three floors, and will be linked to Electrical Engineer ing by an underground passage way and a floor level, covered walkway. The addition, which will be constructed by the General State Authority, has an alloea- Group Readies Housing Survey Questionnaire The questionnaire to be used in the Chamber of Commerce off campus housing survey has been completed and a tentative date— the week of Feb. 20 has been selected for conducting the sur vey. William G. Mather, head of the Department of Sociology, assisted by a committee of representatives of student organizations, drew up the outline of the questionnaire Monday. The questionnaire was put in its final form at a Burgess Committee meeting Tuesday night. Under present plans, student leaders expect to obtain some 200 volunteers to conduct the survey under Chamber of Commerce di rection. The all-inclusive questionnaire, primarily, is designed to deter mine the number of rental units —including rooms and varying sizes of apartments within the Borough limits, according to Ma ther. Once the data is obtained, plans for follow-up action will be determined, he said. BOOM FOR ONE MORE—Work is progressing on the dining hall for the new Turf Plot Residence Halls. The whole project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1961. Sty t iattgftOlnUfgmn [: lion of $1.67 million, Wiegand said. The architects will now proceed with the final plans which will be completed by Sept. 1, he added. The alteration of Carnegie, the Stock Judging Pavilion and the ice skating rink have been desig nated as Phase I of the Arts and Humanities Project, Wiegand said. Phase II of the project in cludes the construction of an Arts and Humanities building north of the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel. Carnegie will be converted in to a communications center with facilities for the School of Jour nalism and the Division of Aca demic Research and Services, Wiegand said. Facilities will be provided for television and mo tion picture production as well as still photography. The Department of Music, which is presently in the build ing, will be transferred to an other building, he added. Plans also call for the addition Bookstore Managers Discuss Expansion With an eye to the recent request of the Board of Trus tee’s for information on the need for establishing a University operated bookstore, the three downtown suppliers of text books were questioned yesterday on their own expansion plans. Edward Brown, manager of the Athletic Store, com- I mented on expansion by saying i "Three days out of the year we , need a bigger store. The rest of , the time you get lost in here.” ! The “A” Store was founded in 1 1904 and provided food for i thought on the present site of the (Corner Room. In 1926 they moved ‘across the street to their present location. Brown, who termed the ; students agitating for a bookstore 1 "wet behind the ears”said that the “A” store owns that entire building and could expand verti cally or horizontally whenever they felt the need. However, no expansion is planned for the pres ent, he added. Sidney B. Swanson, manager of i Keeler’s, commented, “a bookstore can’t run on the 20 per cent prof it it makes on textbooks.” Keeler’s, which has "The Uni versity Bookstore” as a sub-title. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 13. 1961 of a two-story wing on the west side of the building, Wiegand said. The wing will house two studios for either television or motion picture production, he said. The Slock Judging Pavilion will be converted into an arena type theater seating about 370 persons for fhe Department of Theatre Arts, Wiegand said. The central part of the pavilion will be excavated and rooms that can be used for classroms will be constructed below the stage, he said. The ice skating rink will be completely enclosed, Wiegand said, The building, which will be called the Pavilion, will be used for ice skating in the winter and as a multi-purpose building in the summer, he said. Since heating is not desirable in the winter and since it is not needed in the summer, there will be no provisions for a heating plant, Wiegand said. By MEG TEICHHOLTZ moved to its present location late in 1958. It was started in 1926 in a store near the Cathaum Theater on College Ave., using the base ments of several adjacent stores for storage space. Swanson noted that the growth of the store will paral lel the growth of the Univer sity. "Before the war," he said, "one store could have handled the students. Now the existing facilities are adequate. Metzger’s mast recent expan sion was to build a branch store, "without the black granite front,” located opposite the women’s res idence halls in 1958. Fred Metz ger, manager of the store, said that there are definite plans for expansion that will be applied should the need for it become ap parent. Metzger’s was founded in 1915 at its location on S. Allen St. The building as it now stands, how ever, was built after a demolish ing fire. Metzger did say that testbooks comprise about one third of the store's business. Anonymous Students Charter Buses By ROCHELLE MICHAELS Signs have been placed in the residence and dining halls by an anonymous group calling them selves the Student Transporta tion Association who are adver tising chartered buses leaving for New York City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, the day after final exams end. As far as can he determined, these signs were not placed in the halls by the Student Government Association, or any other campus organization. Neither the names nor the telephone numbers of the stu dents who organized the associ ation are included on the signs. The only comment states, "For additional information inquire at time of payment." Mass confusion , will probably dominate the halls on Jan. 20, since the signs read that cash pay- Rusk Says No Sudden Change Faces Senate Questioning On New Foreign Policy WASHINGTON (TP) Dean Rusk, soon to become the Kennedy administration’s secretary of state, indicated yes terday there will be no sharp departures from Eisenhower administration foreign policies, at least for the present. Rusk, 51, submitted to questioning by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, although he won’t be nominated formally until after John F. Ken nedy is inaugurated as president Jan. 20. Rusk was before the committee for more than two hours and aft erward Chairman J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.), said it won’t be necessary to call him back. Ful bright—who at one stage was in the running for the secretary of state post—said his committee will consider action on Rusk's views on a number of interna tional issues—Red China, Cuba, disarmament, summitry, U.S. re lations with its allies, the fate of U.S. fliers held in Soviet prisons, to list a few. This is the essence of what Rusk said on the major questions: • Red China—"l see no pros pect at the present time that nor mal relations can be considered or established with Red China." • Cuba Acknowledged being very much disturbed by events there, but declined to say much more on this situation. • Summitry—lt would be “quite wrong to be dogmatic” in opposi tion to summit meetings and state visits. He did not rule out the possibility that Kennedy might attend a summit conference pro vided there was any hope such talks would be fruitful. • Disarmament—The Kennedy administration is giving intensive study to the question of disarma ment negotiations and hopes to be able to move on this matter promptly. • Imprisoned fliers—“We will do our best” to win freedom for two U.S. Air Force officers held by the Soviet Union since their scout bomber was downed north of the USSR last year. • Relations with allies —it is “a matter of large importance” to try to persuade friendly nations, espe cially those in Europe, to shoul der a bigger share of the load of military and economic aid to free world countries in need of such help. ment for the trip must be madejfall on the bus line,, not the slu in the “vicinity of this list” onidents who chartered the trans that date between 5 and 7 p.importation; The Student Transportation As-1 Monroe Newman, chairman of sedation claims to have an “effi-'the Senate Committee on Student cient, express bus service” on a Affairs, could not definitely aseer “comfortable, accredited inter-tain whether or not this group state bus line.” iwas chartered by the Senate, al- Robert G.

Ac cording to Albert E. Diem, vice president for business ad ministration, a-U n i v e r s i ty committee is now working on a plan to relieve the congestion caused by the two-whceier in vasions. The committee has not yet come to any definite decision but most likely the University will take over the bicycle registra tion and charge a nominal lee, h® said. At the present time, bicycles are registered downtown for 50 cents. Should the University take over registration, the money from these fees will bo used to build bike shelters and parking spaces. According to Diem, the pile-up of bikes which occurs around the main academic buildings is dan gerous and unattractive. Diem explained, however, that this situation is hot entirely the students’ fault because there is no place, available to put the bikes. The proposed bicycle shelters would he portable, Diem said, so that they could be moved' from time to time as different build ings become more populated with cyclists. The committee has not yei de cided how much will be charged to register a bicycle or for what period of time the fee will cover. Diem said that the final regu lations and registration will prob ably be decided sometime during the spring semester and will most likely go into effect on June 1. though he “did not beheve so.” George L. Donovan, co-ordinator of student activities, stated that he wanted a copy of the sign in his office for “investigation” to morrow. Richard Haber, president of SGA, stated that he "hopes this is not a joke." "If it is," he con tinued. "it could hurt many students who might otherwise have signed up for rides." A spot check by the Daily Col legian showed that residence and dining hall personnel have no in formation leading to the person or persons who placed the signs on 'the various bulletin boards.
