David L. Lawrence. The secretary acknowledged Simon’s request for the governor of a bookstore and said he would | see that the matter be “brought to i the governor's attention at the earliest possible convenience.” Simon, who did the initial com prehensive research on University Bookstores for the Junior Class Advisory Board and later dis tributed his report to SGA, said that he was disappointed in the letter. He said he had hoped Law rence would devote more time and possibly his immediate attention to the request. The second letter was from Mayor Richardson C. Dilworth Philadelphia. Dilworth, one of the governor's appointees, told Simon, "All .of the governor's appointees are sympathetic to this question, but there are two i problems that must be ironed out first." i Dilworth cited the problems as I the University's relations with the [community and the business com ;m unity and, secondly, the finane ling of the bookstore.

Walker to make a thorough study and report back at their June meeting, Dilworth said 15,000 800 ks Accepted By ÜBA Approximately 15,000 books have been accepted by the Used Book Agency so far, ac cording to Lawrence Abrams, chairman of the board of con trol.

Robbins listed several factors which may hold back progress on the plan, such as fair trade laws, public policy in competition, phys ical facilities and capital.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Simon Issue Flings Hopes To Rid Philo. Of 75,000 Birds The birds continue to come back to Philadelphia's City Hall, but a University zoology profes sor still has high hopes of driving them away. Dr. Hubert W. Frings, who re cently has been chasing 75,000 starlings from City Hall, said that he expects that after two more “treatments” the birds will no longer be a problem this winter. "City Hall must have been built by a committee of starlings," Frings said, laughing. He went on to explain that he had never seen a building with so many places for birds to roost. Frings has been using recordings of the distress call of starlings to frighten the birds away from the to of and sides of the building. Many people have written to ask him for recordings of the bird call, he said. However, some knowl edge of the habits of the birds is necessary for success with the method, in addition to a recording of the bird call, he said.

New snow ranged between 15 and 22 inches in those sections bringing the total on the ground to between 20 and 40 inches. Other portions of the Common wealth were ouried under 10 to 15 inches.
