Greeks Tentatively OK
Kingston Trio Invitation
By TONY FO6LIO
The Greek Week Committee of
the Panhellenic-Interfraternity
Councils last night tentatively ap
proved a proposal inviting the
Kingston Trio to perform in Rec
reation Building on Saturday,
Feb. 16, during Greek Week.
Fred Good, committee co-chair
man, said the trio had cancelled
another engagement for the same
evening and had offered to appear
during the annual fraternity
sorority week.

president and committee co-chair

Gantt Wins Decision
To Enter Clemson
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (/P)—Har
vey B. Gantt won a U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals decision yester
day directing his admission as the
first Negro to all-whit,e Clemson
College.
South Carolina officials an
nounced they will appeal to . the
Supreme Court.
The 4th ■ Circuit Court unani
mously reversed U.S. Dist. Judge
C. C. Wyche of South Carolina
and directed him to order Gantt
admitted to Clemson in the spring
term which begins Feb. 1.
Wyche ruled last month that the
20-year-old Negro had not proved
he had been denied admission be
cause of his race. Clemson con
tended that Gantt, an architectur
al student at lowa State Uni
versity, had not met its entrance
requirements. ...
GANTT'S ATTORNEYS argued
;tbat every time he complied with
entrance requirements new ones
were added.
They said it was no accident
that South Carolina is now the
only Southern state which has not,

Additional Groups
Will Open Rush
Two additional sororities, Alpha
ICappa Alpha and ' Delta Sigma
Theta, are .eligible to participate
in open biding, Marjorie Zelko,
Panhellenic rush chairman, said
last night. _
Because the membership of
these sororities is'under 30, they
have been granted permission to
continue open'rush until the end
of the term. The sororities may
also set their own average require
ment for rushees, Miss Zelko said.

give Panhel’s acceptance of the
committee’s decision. The entire
Panhellenic Council would have
to vote on the proposal, she ex
plained.
If Panhel approves the idea,
then the trio could be invited to
perform as part of the Greek
Week functions, she said.
If, however, the council, rejects
the proposal, the Kingston Trio
would have to be sponsored sole
ly by IFC and not as part of
Greek Week festivities, Miss Ken
nedy said.
Since Panhel and IFC share the
total costs of the week, all activi-
either by court order or voluntar
ily, admitted Negro students to
formerly all-white institutions of
higher learning.
Wyche said in his decision that
it was the policy of South Carolina
to discourage but not prohibit
Negroes from enrolling in all
white institutions.
The appellate court commented,
“The ' distinction draWn between
prohibition and discouragement is
a novel one in legal literature and
we must hold it unacceptable.”
IN SOUTH CAROLINA, State
Sen. Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell,
a member of the Clemson Board of
Trustees, said plans already have
been made for an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
Brown said the question is
whether the high court will grant
a stay of, the prder directing
Gantt’s admission to Clemson next
month, pending a decision on
whether it will'review the case.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, who
has supervision over the 4th Cir

question of a stay, although aiiy
justice has the authority.

said he expected the IFC execu
tive board to. decide whether or
not to invite the trio by late last

to them today if IFC approves
the proposal.

Good proposed inviting the folk
singing group to campus. He said
that it would be “a great climax
to our week” if IFC and Panhel
sponsor the group.

BEST DRESSED FEET appear on campus daily by the thousands

University Civil Defense Plan
Nears Successful Completion
An investigation to provide
adequate fallout.shelter space for
all -students, faculty and staff
members has been in progress
since the early part of December
and is moving toward a success
ful completion, William F. Fatula,
project head, said.
Fatula explained that this com
mittee had received phase two of
the National Fallout Shelter Sur
vey during the vacation. This
survey sent a list of possible shel
ter areas,' many of which are
located in the residence areas.
To be irjeluded in the report,
the shelter spaces had to have a
protection factor of 100, or the
potential of being converted to
that degree of protection. They
also had to have a capacity of 50
people, and adequate ventilation.
The capacity was figured on
the basis of 10 square feel per

Representatives of a new campus humor magazine v/JJI be
asked to clarify sections of their proposed constitution today
by the Committee on Student Organizations.
In closed sessions, the Committee has already reviewed
the constitution. George L. Donovan, committee chairman,
said yesterday that there are several phrases In the conslitu
ed.
tion which could be strengther
The constitution was per;
Buscanics, co-editor of the former
Penn State Froth, which lost Its
charter last Oct. 23.
THE ACTION was taken against
the original humor magazine be
cause of a failure on the part of
those concerned to live up to its
constitution.
The new constitution is being
sponsored by a committee which
was formed by the Undergrad
uate Student Government closely
following the charter suspension.
Although a long period of study
by both committees has finally
led to definite action, it may still
be a long while before the cam
pus has a replacement for the
Penn State Froth.
Fred Waelchi, member of both
committees, pointed out yester
day that it took the reviewing
committee quite a while to finish
the Panhellenic constitution which
they considered last term. That
constitution was just a little longer
than the document under study
now.
Speaking optimistically,
Waelchli said that although it may
take awhile for the constitution
to gain approval, he sees no
"major problems.”

The areas fitting these speci
fications show only 12,880 spaces.
J. Campbell Lester, State College
director of civil defense, said.
This indicates that all available
campus shelter space will be oc
cupied by students, he explained.
The National Survey is being
supplemented by Fatula’s com
mittee. They are now investi
gating shelter areas which would
be safe, but which would accom
modate.less than 50 people.
Other efforts made by the com
mittee to provide a civil defense
program for the University were
the testing of Old Main’s ampli
fication system for the warning
signal, and the University Bower
Plant for the possibility of remote
control operation in the event of
a nuclear attack.

Donovan commented that "a
constitution is only as good as the
people who will carry it out, and
we are very interested in their
intent.”
If and when the constitution
gains the stamp of endorsement
of the reviewing committee, it
must still be approved by the Ad
ministrative Committee on Stu
dent Affairs.
Robert G. Bernrcuter, chairman
of this eommiitce, would not com
mit himself as to when his com
mittee would be able to consider
the matter if the constitution were
referred to it.
He merely said that the com
mittee would consider it "when
ever the members decided to do
so.”
DONOVAN, who is also a mem
ber of Bernrculcr’s committee
said he thought that the group
would consider the matter short
ly after it receives his commit
tee’s approval, if it does.
The representatives have not
been given a list of the questions
which the reviewing committee
will ask them, because Donovan
said, "this situation docs not call
for a defense, but a clarification.”
AWS Plans
To Investigate
Prexy Visits
An At-Home with President
Eric A. Walker was suggested to
improve student-administration
relations at the Association of
Women Students meeting last
night.
A committee will be formed to
draw up a proposal which would
include bi-monthly or monthly
sessions with President Walker in
his home. As many as 75 students
would bo permitted to attend
these informal sessions.
In other business, AWS made
tentative plans to sponsor the
Bishop!s Company, which will
present a play entitled, "An Epi
sode of Sparrows.”
The organization, with a rep
ertoire of eight plays, presents
thgse plays to universities, col
leges and church groups all over
the country.
Applications for the positions of
Penn State Woman editor, Elec
tions chairman and Womc n’s

plant is considered essential to
other planning at the University
in that it would continue to pro
vide, possibly on a limited basis,
heat for campus buildings as well
as electricity needed to continue
operation of purnps providing
water. It also would make the
operation of the sewage disposal
plant possible.
Officials have said that because
the water that supplies the cam
pus is pumped from underground
sources, it would not be contami
nated by fallout, and that if the
pumps could be kept in oper
ation, one of the major problems
would be solved.
Plans are in the discussion stage
for a student training program to
acquaint students with plans as
they are developed. To date, stu
