Student Number Plan Revised
Social security numbers will re
place student numbers on Univer
sity records of students this spring,
Robert G. Bernreuter, dean of ad
missions and registrar, said yester
day. -
Bernreuter said that an interim
period will be necessary when
both new and old numbers will
be used ,to avoid issuing new
identification cards to upperclass
men. The registrar's records, how
ever, will note social security
number, he said.
ANY STUDENT who does not
have a social security number at
the time of spring term registra
tion will be required to apply for
one - immediately; - or his registra
tion will be canceled, Bernreuter
explained.
"The new system will be valu
able to bbth the student and the
University," Bernreuter said. "The
majority of students work during
or after their college careers any
way, so this will be a convenience
to them."
Bernreuter also said that the
University wants to get away from
using , its own unique number
system -and employ one that will
help it in ways other than student
identification.
"WE ARE trying to demonstrate
to the College Entrance Examina
tion Board that universities like
ours will use a common number
such as the social security one for
student identification. They might
then consider reporting the so-

If the CEEB consents, that
would avoid hiring extra Univer
sity clerks to match applications
and test scores which come in
separately to the dean of admis
sion's office, Bernreuter said. Ma
chines could be used for the
matching process, to complete it
more quickly.

Low Temperatures Due Today,
Snow, Winds Likely Tomorrow
The frigid arctic air mass that
invaded the northeastern states
late ThurSday pushed the mer
cury below Zero over; most of the
commonwealth yesterday morn
ing. Near or below zero readings
are expected throughout the state
again this morning.
Some slight moderation in tem
peratures is forecast for this after
noon. --
Yesterday morning's tempera
tures varied from 30 below in
parts of northern New England
to 15 to 20' below in much of New
York to zero as far south as
Philadelphia.
A LOW of one below was re
corded at the University weather

said he hopes they will change.
Another reason Bernreuter gave
for the change is that more and
more 'duplicate names are ap
pearing on University records.
When an employer writes, re
questing a studbnt's college his
tory, he does not know the stu
dent's former matriculation num
ber. to aid in identifying him.
If a common number such as the
social security one were used,
mistaken identity of students
could be almost always avoided,
Bernreuter said.
and tomorrow. Moisture is ex
pected to increase in the area of
the storm today and precipitation
should become widespread in the
central states by this evening.
As the storm moves eastward
south of the commonwealth to
morrow snow, possibly heavy at
times, is likely to develop.
Increasing winds may cause
blowing and drifting snow to be
come a hazard to motorists by
late tomorrow.
THE FORECAST for the local
area calls for partly sunny skies
and quite cold weather for today.
The high temperature will be
about 25 degrees. —
Increasing cloudiness and chilly
temperatures are forecast for to
night., The low should be near 14.
Snow, gusty winds and cold
weather are forecast for tomor
row. A high of 25 is expected.

USGlists Art Library, Calendar
Among Present Cultural Projects
An art rental library, a calendar
of cultural events, and an inde
pendent study and travel abroad
portfolio are among current pro
jects of the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government Cultural Com
mittee.
Jules Heller, dean of the College
of Arts and Architecture, initiated
the art library, scheduled to open
next week in the Hetzol Union
Building, James B.
chairman of the Cultural Commit
tee, said recently. Members of the
cultural committee will help with
the program by working in the
library, Williams said,
UNDER THE art rental pro
gram, students will be able to sign
out paintings with their matricu
lation cards. Paintings may be
rented for three per cent of their
value for periods of one month.
If a student wishes to buy a paint
ing, the amount he paid for rent
will be deducted from the price.
The calendar of cultural events
consists of a program to post up
to-date lists of cultural affairs at
the University, in the State Col
lege area and at nearby college
campuses, Williams said. One such
list has already been posted on
the ground floor of the HUB.
Within the next two weeks,
Williams added, representatives of
other student governing bodies
will be given mimeographed lists
to post in the residence halls and
fraternity' houses.

Williams said.

to New York City, and a photo
graphic series on campus life en
titled "The Story of a Student."
The purpose of the cultural

student interest in the "excellent
cultural program and aesthetic
atmosphere already available" at
the University, Williams said,
