Lipp, Sorority Plan
Meeting
Housing
A dispute over illegal room switching within a sorority
suite will be decided , by Dean of Women, Dorothy J. Lipp at
a Conference Monday with the chapter president . and housing
chairman.
Several sorority members are now living in rooms other
than those assigned by the De
partment of Housing at the be
ginning of the year. The coeds
requested an official change in
rooms before switching, accord
ing to the sorority housing chair
man, but this request was denied
by housing officials,
Otto E. Mueller, director of 1
housing, said last week that
legal room switching involves
too much paper work in notify
ing University departments.
This combined with the expense
of moving the girls is too costly
to make the move practical.
Concerning unauthorized switch
ing, Mueller said that housing
would take no action but the
women would be responsible for
their originally assigned rooms.
Late Thursday afternoon the
residence coordinator for the area
told the coeds if they weren't
back in their original rooms by
yesterday morning, their parents
would be contacted, the chapter
president said.
Yesterday morning, the coeds,
who had not complied with the
coordinators order, were notified
of the conference with Dean Lipp.
According to the sorority
president, the coordinator, who
told them of the conference,
then warned that if the dean of
women did not approve of the
switches and the girls still re
fused to move back, they would
be called before judicial and
placed on academic suspension.
Dean Lipp denied that such ac
tion was being considered and;
added that she was "sure that;
the whole thing can be settled,
to everyone's satisfaction."
The coordinator could not be
reached for comment.
The confusion seems to be a
result of inefficiency in the per
formance of duties of the sorority
housing chairman and her direc
tives to the coeds, Dean Lipp said.
The sorority has been playing
"musical chairs" with their rooms,
the dean continued.

Wsh Criticizes Parties
For Lack of New Ideas
Campus political parties are sticking to old platforms
and not making way for the new ideas presented for con
sideration to the SGA Assembly, according to Wayne Ulsh
(I-Jr.).
"New ideas often are not developed because party leaders
insist on working on their old
platform promises, which are
really out of date after elections,"
Ulsh said.
Ulsh cited theorganization of
the new Men's Residence Council
as one of the
new ideas he

May Follow
Heavy Rain
A premature touch of spring
visited this area yesterday, but
a sharp deterioration in weath
er conditions is expected to
day.
Rain, heavy at times and cooler
I temperatures are predicted for
this morning and early afternoon
with snow and much colder
weather indicated for late today
and this evening.
Yesterday's high temperature
of 66 degrees ranks with the
warmest temperatures ever ob
served during February in this
area. Today's readings will be
nearly 20 degrees cooler than
those of yesterday.
A rapidly-developing storm
system that is approaching Penn
sylvania from the southeastern
states will bring the expected
precipitation to this area today
and early tonight.
Strong and gusty northwest
winds and a sharp change to
colder weather should accom
pany the change from rain to
snow late today. The snow will
gradually diminish to snow
flurries tonight and an accumu
lation of two or three inches is
possible.
Partly cloudy, windy and much
colder weather is expected late
tonight and tomorrow.
A low temperature of 24 is fore
cast for early tomorrow with a
high of only 32 degrees expected
during the day.
Tomorrow night should be
partly cloudy and colder.

the University, is exemplary of
the type of work Assembly should
be doing to benefit the whole stu
dent body, Ulsh said.
In predicting. the future of
the parties, Ulsh said that since
there are now three groups, one
party will probably support
the ideas of one of the other
parties, rather than branch out
into a completely different
viewpoint.
What about student interest in
SGA? Ulsh said he thinks it is
increasing; more questions are
being asked by students, he said,
and the larger committees SGA is
appointing are giving students a
greater chance to participate in
student government.

Diem Talk
On Parking
For one hour Thursday. night
SGA Assembly fired questions
at Albert E. Diem, vice presi.
dent for business affairs—all
of which were variations on
the campus parking problem.
SGA President Richard Haber
asked Diem to appear before SGA
some three months ago to explain
why student cars had . been banned
from the Hetzel Union parking lot
and why the SGA parking com
mittee's request for a trial re
opening of the kt had been de
nied.
Robert Harrison (11.5 r.) be
gan the questioning, asking why
the trial open period had been
honied. Diem said "there was
nothing to be gained by such a
trial period," that opening of
the lot presented formidable
problems and that the final-de
cision had been made.
Harrison then attempted to
show that the newly opened
Pol
lock parking lot, with its 200 ad •
ditional spaces, would compen
-ate for some of last year's .con
gestion in the HUB lot.
Diem replied that there were
still too many student cars on
'campus (between 3200 and 3600)
to permit the HUB lot to open.
"Therefore," he said, "there can
be no change in this judgment
which apparently you refute."
Further questioning determined
that the peak hours for student
driving were at the beginning
and end of Friday and Saturday
evenings.
Harrison then asked. "Do such
peak hours fall during the
week? Our report requests only
that the lot be opened Sunday
through. Thursday evenings." ,
Diem said that occasionally such'.
peak hours do occur during the
week. "There is no question that
there are unused spaces in the
center of campus more often than
filled spaces. But we have to
make these spaces available to
those who really need them."
Edgar Grubb (U.-Sr.) asked
Diem if the hours of the school
day might be staggered to lessen
congestion.
He replied, "With the four-term
system we will try to work out
such an arrangement. There is no
question that it would alleviate
the problem to stagger staff
hours but we have to maintain
good employee relations for the
good of the University family as
a whole."

Liberal party's campaign to
influence legislative support
for President Eric A. Walker's
$23.1 million appropriation re
quest will be extended tc the
commonwealth campuses next
week, according to Dale Har-
I ris, chairman of the commit
tee.
Copies of the petitions which
have been circulating on campus
will be sent to each of the 13 cen
ters, Miss Harris said. Student
government leaders at each of
!the centers will supervise the cir
culation of the petitions.
Miss Harris said she hopes
about 80 per cent of the approxi
mately 4000 students at the 13
centers will sign the petitions.
"It's to their interest as much as
ours," she added,
The petitions will circulate on
the main campus at least until the
middle of next week, Miss Har
ris said. The campaign headquar
ters may be moved from the
ground floor of the Hetzel Union
Building lust outside the Lion's
Den because "most of the people
who come through the HUB have
seen it already," she added.
She estimated that 5000 stu
dents have already signed .the
petition, and added that many res-1
ident halls and fraternities have
copies circulating.
Campaigning for the appro
priation is expected to be stepped I
up next week, but Miss Harris
said that the lack of volunteets
to man the HUB booth may not
allow for as much activity as is,
necessary for complete success.

No veto is possible if two-thirds
