PAGE rwo Panhel May Cut Transcript Rule Action will be taken to eliminate the Panhellenic defer red grade clause next term if sororities still require a mini mum scholastic average then, according to Janet Carlisle, assistant Panhel rush chairman. Miss Carlisle, who has been appointed chairman of the Housing Poll On Facilities Starts Today The Chamber of Commerce survey to determine the avail ability of town housing for students and faculty members will begin today. About 104 students have volun teered to act as interviewers in covering each building in the State College area. Paul Mazza, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said, that twice as many students are need ed for the survey. "If each per son who has volunteered to serve as an interviewer would brim* one friend with him when he calls at the Municipal Building to begin the survey, we would have an ample number to do the work," he added. Students may volunteer for the survey by going to the Municipal Building on Frazier Street from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and to morrow. The survey questionnaire, drawn up by William C. Mather, head of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, is designed to de termine the quality and amount of facilities available aIS well as the rental preference of property owners. Mazza said the chief aim of the survey is to obtain the total num ber of rooms and apartments along with the total number of vacancies, to be correlated in con nection with University planning for handling future enrollments. Students Given Phone Warning Students living in campus resi dence halls may not accept charges for out-of-town telephone calls made to their residence hall telephones, Wilbur Diehl, super visor of the telephone division, said yesterday. Concerned about the problems resulting from acceptance of un paid calls, both for the student' and the University, University officials yesterday placed a small card outlining the use of the tele phone system in rooms through out the campus. The notice explains that the telephone system in residence halls was designed to make pos sible on-campus calls and to re ceive calls from any point, local or long distance, so long as the long distance calls are prepaid. There is no provision for individual students for toll calls. Leadership Shingles The shingles for students whc took part in the leadership pro gram last semester are now avail able at the Iletzr2l linjon desk. next rush program, said she was amazed to discover that coeds !cannot be exempted from the rul ing by a statement from their ad visors. "It's a crime that any girl should miss her average because of a deferred grade," she said. One of the chief complaints against the deferment clause has been that the University recog nizes deferred gra.les as special cases, but that Pantie' takes it for granted that the coed will fail, Thereby making it impossible for many girls to register for rush. According to the Panhellen is constitution, "A girl is ineli gible for pledging if her tran script carries any deferred grade, unless that deferred grade when averaged as a fail ure will make her semester av erage not lower than 2.00 for upperclasswomen and 2.3 for second semester freshmen." The clause was inserted to avoid any difficulties with coeds who might have one or more de ferred grades which they eventu ally fail to pass and which would, drop them below the required av erage. Mrs. Nancy M. Vanderpool, assistant dean of women, said. It would be difficult to remove a girl from rush once she is in it,l she said. The University issues deferred grades to students who are "ab sent from a final examination for reasons beyond their control." The students must have authorization from their deans in order to re ceive a deferred grade, and must make up the required work with in four weeks after the beginning of the following semester, ac cording to University Senate Reg ulations. Nearly 400 deferred grades were filed last semester, accord ing to University records. As of Thursday, 79 of these grades had been fulfilled and no sta tistics are available on them. In the remainder there are 62 coeds who are now second semes ter to sixth semester in standing. Many of these girls have more than one deferred grade. There may be no need to take any action against the deferment clause, Miss Carlisle said. A com mittee has been formed to set up next term's rush schedule, and many of the committee members favor an early rush that would eliminate scholastic requirements for freshmen, she said. Room Checks-- (Continued from page one) parents nor students would be very happy about such a situa tion, Dean Lipp said. The administration recognizes that' present living arrangements create undue difficulties for some students. These difficulties will be worked out by the sorority hous ing chairmen for the Greeks or through regular channels for the independents, hut the women must move back into their as signed rooms first, Dean Lipp em lhasized. - AN OUTSTANDING AND DIF FERENT MOTION PICTURE THAT TAKES YOU INTO A WORLD OF BUR LESQUE HOUSES . . .
