FRIDAY. MAY 12. 1961 Senator Appointed To Study Education Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre, was appointed Wednesday to a special bi-partisan Senate committee to initiate legislation on the recommendations of Gov. David L. Lawrence’s special Study Committee on Education. The House has already approved a similar group known as the Select Committee to study the recommendations of the edu cation report. * The Senate, in approving the ap pointment of its committee, stip ulated that the two groups should meet jointly to discuss possible legislation. Just two weeks ago the Senate voted against forming such a com mittee. A majority vote was re quired to set up the committee. The Associated Press reported that Republicans in both houses objected to the bi-partisan com mittee idea. Thu AP reports said Republicans contended that the Lawrence administration wanted to take the responsibil ity off ifs shoulders for action on the recommendations of the governor's study committee. Hays had proposed the bi-parti san committee two weeks ago. He argued that a bi-partisan group could iron out differences in opin ion and thus get legislation passed more quickly. The Senate defeat ed Hays’ original proposal. The new proposal on the same idea was passed by a 22-18 vote. The new six-member commit tee includes two members besides Hays who Were also members of Lawrence’s special study commit tee. This group was appointed by the governor in April, 1960, to ROTC Teams Will Compete In Drill Meet The Army, Navy and Air) Force ROTC drill teams are scheduled to compete in thei Milton S.

Eisenhower trophy will be presented to the team with the highest total points in both parts of the contest. Last year the Air Force Team won the trophy. Charles J. Smith, vice-chairman of the University Senate Commit tee on Military Instruction, will serve as the honorary judge for the meet. Other judges will be active officers of the three serv ices.

It is the only intra university competition held for the drill teams, although each of them participates in several off campus competitions each year.

In April of this year, the gov ernor's committee made its re port to Lawrence. Bills to imple ment the committee's recom mendations must be introduced before any legislative action can be taken on the report. Any such bills would then be' submitted to committee for fur ther study. Last week Hays, who is also chairman of the Senate Education Committee, and three other spon sors introduced the first two bills implementing recommendations of Lawrence’s study committee. The first bill puts a limit on school construction and boosts the construction limit per pupil. The second bill sets up a stale- I wide system of college scholar- ! ships. j Hays said last night that actu-. ally a total of five bills on the study committee’s recommenda tions have been introduced by him and the three other sponsors, but that the first two bills are the only ones which have been placed on the Senate calendar for action. These two bills have been sub mitted to the Senate Education Committee, he said. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Club TIM Presents "A NIGHT IN THE TROPICS" Dance To The Tropica!

DRILL "STOMP METHOD" WEST HALLS RECORD Coeds to Be j Allowed In | Men's Halls Women will be permitted to go through men’s residence halls from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mother’s Day, the Men’s Resi dence Council ruled Wednes day night. Under a former regulation, coeds were not permitted in the private living areas of men’s res idence halls at any time. George Henning, president of MRC, said when he proposed the bill that since men are allowed in the women’s residence halls on Mother’s Day, coeds should be permitted in the men’s residence halls. ! This would be a “mutual trade agreement,” Henning said. The council, a coordinating body for the men's area coun cils, also set up minimum quiet hours for all men's residence halls during the final examina tion period. The new ruling calls for quiet hours fo be observed from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily. The council suggested that the individual men’s residence units extend the quiet period to 24 hours a day. The council also passed a bill allowing men to wear bermudas to dinner during the final exam ination period. However, men will still be required to wear 'slacks at the Sunday noon meal. In other buisness, the council decided to prepare a booklet for incoming freshmen, which 'would contain residence hall reg ulations as well as dress and dat ing customs. No Squad Leaders or Demerits! "Cadence With a Beat" FRIDAY NITE IN WARING Cans Show Size Of Food Handling By DAVE RUNKEL If Food Services stacked the green bean, tomato and corn cans used in the past year, there would be 17 stacks of cans the height of the Empire State Building, Robert C. Prof fitt, head of Food Services said yesterday. The University’s Food Services Department is probably the largest of any university in the United States, Proffitt said. He said that he did not have specific figures, but said he knows from personal experience that none of the Big Ten schools had a Food. Services Depart ment as large as the one on campus. A total of 8,200 students eat in Food Services - operated dining halls every day, Proffitt said. The department employs 400 people on a full-time basis and has 500 to 700 students working part time for meals or pay, he BY THE ALL AT THE Food Services also provides full-time employment for 6,800 hens, Proffitt added. This is the number of hens needed to pro vide enough eggs for Food Serv ices’ ■ use. Many of the eggs are used by the bakery department. The bread baked in one year by the University bakery would extend across Pennsylvania to New Jersey if the loaves were laid end to end, Proffitt said. Food Services, in attempting to work within its budget and avoid cutting down on the amount of food served to each student, has centralized its baking department, eliminated the need for bus boys in most dining halls and limited the number of food choices offer ed to the students, Proffitt said. Having students return their own dishes has eliminated many jobs, Proffitt said, since students are no longer needed to clear the tables. Bus boys arc employed only in Atherton, McElwain and Simmons.
