VOL. 61; No. 90
calendar Co pleted for Next Year
Despite Football, Traffic Problems
Football games, vacation traffic and computing of averages have presented problems
for
,the scheduling in the four term system. Out of the confusion a final calendar for the
1961-62 year came yesterday.
The most recent changes involve the moving back of the beginning of classes during the
winter term from Jan. 3 to Jan. 5 and movingthe beginning of spring classes back a week
from March 21 to March 28.
The beginning of winter classes
was moved so students will not be
involved with the holiday traffic
when they return for registration
on Jan. 3 and 4, Lawrence E. Den
nis, vice president for academic
affairs and proposer of the
changes, said.
The additional week in between
the winter and spring term will
give the staff a much-needed
longer period to compute aver
ages, Dennis added. -
The new proposals were made
by Dennis and approved by I
t president Eric A. Walker. The cal
l endar has not been scheduled be
yond the first four terms.
The summer term for 1961 will'
ibegin with registration on June

the board of control, said that
the Thursday deadline will defi

He added that anyone with a
problem in claiming either money
or books should see him person

Leonides May Lobby inl97l—Shockey
In ten years Leonides, the
lindependent women's associa-
I tion, may have become a lob
lbying group, Patricia Shockey,
Leonides president pro tern,
said yesterday.
Miss Shockey spoke in reply to
Dean Lipp's statement of last
week that in ten years Leonides
will probably not exist.
"Because of the University's
size, a central group like Leonides
is needed not necessarily to set
up activities for independents, but
to make sure that another group
does provide them," Miss Shockey
said.
A group of perhaps five to ten

Of Survey
The State College Chamber
of Co'mmerce Housing Survey
is approximately 95 per cent
complete according to Paul
Mazza, president.
The remainder of the work to
be done is prim6 - rily in 12 sections
of the borough but also includes
the houses where people weren't
home when the interviewers
called, Mazza said.
He also said that he expected
the material collected duririg
the survey would be submitted
for processing before the end of
the week. The results should be
ready in about 30 days, he
added.
The purpose of the survey is to
determine . the availability of
town housing for students and
faculty members. It began last
Tuesday.
Of 129 sections, 117 were cov
ered with interviewers checking
2800 out of 2900 houses in the
area, according to Mazza.
He praised the 110 students who
served as interviewers for the
survey, adding "As far as I'm con
cerned, it couldn't have been
more of a succes, thanks to the en
ergy of the student volunteers."

active independents could act as
an interest or lobbying group to
make suggestions to the com
munity councils as to what they
could do for the independents,
she said.
Miss Shockey rejected the
idea that Leonides would die
completely. "Leonides gives in
dependent women a chance 'to
show leadership; if they go in
with the Independent Students
Association, they'll be over
shadowed." she said. "Since
there are more independent
men than women, the more im
portant positions in ISA will go
to the men," . she said.
"It is also up to Leonides as a
central group to coordinate ac
tivities for those independents
