Wiegand, director of physical plant and construction announced yester day. Wiegand said that bids for the new wing will be opened Feb. 15, while deadline for the receipt of the bids is Ma:ch 16, 1965. Contracts will be awarded to the lowest bidders by March 30. Actual constr tion will begin on May 1, 1965. The addition will be construct ed at the southeast corner of the present structure where the outdoor terraces are now located The major -. problem with the' construction will he the dis-, ruption of food services in both the Lion's Den and Terrace Room. Otto E. Mueller, director of housing and food services, said that although construction will already be in progress, continuation of food service will not begin until June 12, the last day of the spring term. Arrangements have been made to provide temporary food ser vice to students. During the summer term 1965, service will be available at the West Halls dining hall. Beginning with the fall term, food service will be shifted to the newly constructed dining hall at East Halls. The main floor of the HUB addition will be a large room similar to the existing ballroom. It will double the capacity of the ballroom from 650 to 1.300 people for banquets and from 700 to 1,400 couples for dancing. New Lion's Den On the ground floor level, facilities will provide a new Lion's Den which will be triple in size and serve approximately 300 people. The Lion's Den and Terrace Room now in operation will be altered to make one new and large dining area to accommo date 800 people. Necessary improvements to the kitchen facilities will also be made to meet'anticipated needs. Wiegand stressed that al though construction will he in progress for approximately 16 months, the student body will not he deprived of HUB services. "The only thing that will be taken away from the students is the food service," he said. He also pointed out that every effort will be made to enable HUB activities to continue as usual. Stanley H. Campbell, vice president for business, explained that present facilities are con siderably inadequate for the present enrollment of nearly 19,000 students on campus. Hine!

By ALLAN FRIEDMAN Community Affairs USG Rejects Move For TIM Housing By TIM SHAFFER James Brubaker, chairman of Undergraduate Student Govern ment Community Affairs Com mission told a joint meeting of all USG commissioners Tuesday night that the Town Independent Men's Council is conducting all business involving alleged unsafe and unsanitary conditions in State College. Ronald Faucher, USG vice president, who directs the entire USG commission system, chaired the meeting. Brubaker said the community affairs committee would there fore not take a direct hand in the matter. He said action taken by his USG committee at this time would only result in a needless duplication of functions. TIM intends to take pictures of many of the violations of the Halloween Candlelight Dinner Set Tonight the Great Pumpkin will take time from his busy schedule to visit each resi dence hall area. It's candle light dinner time again with Halloween as the theme, so each student living in a resi dence hall should be prepared for an evening meal by soft candlelight and a complete program of social functions afterwards. Men's Residence Council andi the Association of Women Stu dents will jointly sponsor a program of candlelight din ners and after-dinner socials, throughout the academic year. West will be entertained by a rendition of the Jazz Club.l While the residents of West are listening to be-bop, North residents will be singing their hearts out at a student hoote nanny. Pollock and Nittany will try to scare all the witches and goblins out of the resi dence halls by dancing to re corded music in each living unit. East Halls will hold resi dence hall area dances. Everyone is invited to the after-dinner social functions except witches and goblins, so there is no cause to be afraid while dancing or singing in the dark corners unless the person you're with happens to be one of those fiendish char acters who came in out of the night. MRC and AWS also will co sponsor the second candlelight dinner of the term on Nov. 26 for' Thanksgiving. housing code for a forthcoming comprehensive report, Brubaker told the group.

The magazine first tried des , perately to come up with a cover Ipage that would be relevent to the forthcoming elections. When this was accomplished, it tackled the printing problem. Printer number one accepted the job, then called and can- Iceled. Printer number two re !fused to even consider it. Printer !number three readily accepted the order. However, before he could print a single page, his presses col- lapsed. At long last, printer number tour agreed to publish it. But by this time, it was too late to come out before the elec tions and about one-third of the :magazine had to be scrapped. Members of the staff explained there would only be one issue of the magazine this term, due to the difficulty with the printers. They added, however, that the magazine would resume normal publishing next term with the customary two issues per term. These will be' published under a new editor. John Wolfe (4th journalism-New York City). Don Dc Maio, present editor, is grad uating in December. Wolfe promises that "barring a nuclear blast" two issues will be printed per term starting Jan ,uary 1965. UCA To Host Folk Concert FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STUDENTS SALVAGE belongings from the fourth floor of Pollock 3 residence hall after a fire broke out in a storage closet early yesterday morning. Damage to Uni versity property was not heavy, but students' loss has not yet been determined. Students are presently living in lounges until the floor is repaired and cleaned. Real Fire Routs Unbelieving Coeds Clang. clang, clang 11:45 p.m. Oct. 27—the fire alarms an nounced the beginning of the scheduled mock fire drill for Pollock 3. Clang, clang, clang-3:00 a.m. Oct. 28—the gongs sounded the .alarm again. There is something totally eerie about the clamor that a lire alarm can raise at this hour. Somehow, it is utterly incon gruous with a quiet of a slumber ing dormitory. With it comes the sickening feeling that this is not just fun and games. ' When the alarm sounded, I was dozing off to sleep in my room on the third floor. I re luctantly got up, then hurriedly shut the windows, opened the drapes, grabbed a coat and towel (a new innovation in drill pro cedures) slipped on a pair of shoes and ran for the door. I didn't see anyone in the hall, didn't have the time to think about it because I heard some one screaming "Fire, fire!" I also noticed a smell reminiscent of hundreds of exploded flash bulbs. As I went through the exit doors, I encountered a mass of bewildered, but calm, girls rushing down the steps. I also heard an ominous smashing of glass and grabbed the coat of the girl next to me as we shakily stumbled out. _ We passed the checker and ran to our assigned places where we had been just three hours before. Moment of Panic There was one moment of panic when we discovered one girl, partially deaf, was still in the dorm. But the smoke ,had awakened her and she came out several moments later. After that,. we stood around and watched the smoke billow from the fourth floor windows. Talking to girls on the fourth floor, we ascertained that the fire had started in the luggage storage room. Many of the girls thought it was caused by a short circuit which sparked the paper and cellophane bags lying around, with the luggage. When the fire engines came, we drew closer to the building to watch. But they were having troubles of their own putting the fire out and sent us away. Then we were directed into Pollock 4 where we spread out in the lounges and sorority suites. Ironically, some of the girls had managed to grab their cigarettes and now proceeded to light up. "How can you smoke now?" so m e one laughingly , asked. Now that we were all together, the girls who had to go down the most dangerous exit told their Mild Conditions Should Remain Mostly cloudy skies and mild weather is expected again today with a high of 66. There may be a shower this afternoon or eve ning. Tonight should be partly cloudy and cool and the low will be about , 42 degrees. Tomorrow should be partly cloudy, and not quite as mild. The high will be near 62. by JANE BEITSCHER Elayne Kessler (10th-arts and' letters, Bethpage, LI.) saw flames from the luggage room as :she opened her door. This was the only light as the fuses were blown. She had to grope her way clown the steps with the towel held to her face because of the dense smoke. "If we hadn't had the towels, I don't know how we would have made it," she said. At 4:30 a.m. the firemen al lowed us to go back to our rooms. As we wearily tramped, in, we were met by electricians who wished us a cherry, although' embarrassed, good morning. Today, the fourth floor, with its blackened walls, burnt lug-' gage and spoiled clothing, was blocked off as security men combed the building to deter mine the cause of the fire and, also, to estimate the damage. I doubt if any of the girls in Pollock 3 will be nonchalant about a fire drill again even, when we know it's only a prac-, tice run. the world: oct. 29 Va. Loses in High Court Virginia lost in the Supreme Court yes terday in an effort to stay a lower court's reapportionment order that would cut the terms of incumbent senators from four to two years. Chief Justice Earl Warren turn ed down without comment a petition by State Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Button for a stay so the question could be considered by the full Supreme Court on a later appeal. This lets stand an order by a three judge federal court in Alexandria, Va., which on Sept. 19 ordered Virginia to reapportion both its house of Delegates and Senate by Dec. 15. The tribunal directed that both Senate and House seats be put up for elec tion by January 1966. Saigon Rewards Cambodia Cambodia won ammunition yesterday from Saigon for its propaganda campaign against U. S. and South Vietnamese armed forces trying to root out Communist Viet Cong bases along the Cambodian-Vietna mese frontier. A U. S. embassy spokesman announced the unarmed U. S. Air Force C 123 transport felled by gunfire from Cam bodia Saturday inadvertently had strayed over Cambodian territory in foggy weather. He said the U.S. regrets the intrusion. The crash killed eight Americans who were aboard the transport on a supply dropping mission. Guerillas were found to have loot ed the bodies of personal effects when a ground-air recovery party arrived at the wreckage Sunday, about 250 yards inside the fiontier. GOP Disputes 'Equal Time' The Supreme Court refused yesterday to hear arguments on Republican presiden tial nominee Barry Goldwater's demand for free equal radio-television time to answer President Johnson's Oct. 18 address on world- affairs. Indications were that the decision was 6 to 2 but this was not an nounced. The Court only said that Justices Hugo L. Black and Arthur J. Goldberg dis sented and Justice Byron R. White took no part. There was no comment from the ma jority. Goldwater's backers had filed a' petition at 4 p.m. EST which said that the Federal Communications Commission's denying Goldwater equal time was "erron eous and without foundation or basis in law." Occurs Three Hours After Practice Drill By MARLENE GULAK A fire which originated in a storage closet on the fourth floor of Pollock 3 early yesterday caused limited damage to University property. Value of the loss of stu dent property or the origin of the fire have not yet been determined. Three and one half hours before the fire, the women residents participated in a fire drill. At 3:30 a.m. Wednesday the fire bells rang for the second time in one night. This time there was flames and smoke. Ruth Roseff (sth-I speech pathology-Maplewood, l N.J.), a coed living on theW DFM fourth floor of Pollock 3, who' reported the fire, said she "saw; v smoke under the door" of the IT o Co er shower room and when she' ; opened the door saw that "the! halls were black." Miss Roseff had been in the Elections shower room for about five! minutes. When she entered thel room the fire had not started I but as she was leaving, she i explained. "All I saw was a' wall of black smoke and I, couldn't see anything else." She ran to a few rooms on her floor in an effort to awak en the other girls, screaming, "Fire! Fire!" The coed went to the fire extinguisher on her floor, but when she could not read the instructions through the thick smoke, ran to the third floor and set off the alarm. Miss Roseff went downstairs to report the fire to the resi dence hall staff. While in the hostess' office the fire com pany phoned to verify the alarm since the coed, in her excitement, forgot to call an emergency number to report the fire, in addition to ringing the alarm. 3 Fire Engines The Alpha Fire Co. of State College sent three fire engines to the scene. The flames were prevented from spreading out side of the storage room but smoke rose to the upper four floors. Limited damage was done to the fourth flow Walls, fur niture and windows were covered with the black smoke and University personnel spent yesterday cleaning the walls. An elevator button melted to one-half its normal size. Fourth floor residents' prop erty was damaged in the flames and smoke; suitcases were burned and smoke-covered. The women's other personal be longings were covered with the black smoke and plastic hangers melted over clothes. Fourth floor residents have been moved temporarily into residence halls' study lounges until the fourth floor can be cleaned and all damaged prop erty repaired. from the associated press UAW Threatens Ford Strike The United Auto Workers Union threat ened yesterday to strike Nov. 6 at all Ford Motor Co. plants lacking local level agree ments. But Ford and the Union couldn't even agree on the number of agreements needed, with the UAW listing 18 and Ford 23. Ford and the UAW reached agreement Sept. 18 on a national contract, but several local units lack the agreements which sup plement the whole pact. Ford has 90 bar gaining units. Nine of the plants left un settled are assembly plants and three are key stamping plants. Presumably, a strike at these plants would cripple production. The Ford strike threat came as the General Motors Corp. is still struggling to return to full production. Council Imposes Secrecy The Vatican Ecumenical Council im posed full secrecy yesterday in its discus sion of the more delicate problems of the modern world obviously meaning birth control. The cardinal-moderator of the day's session in St. Peter's Basilica told 2,077 prelates present that no oral deliberation would be allowed on certain specified points in the schema—document—on the Church in the modern world, "because this could lead to erroneous interpretations, abuses, and conclusion making outside the Council by the public. The cardinal said the prelates could go into full detail only by submitting their observations on such points in writing for consideration by the committee in charge of the schema. 'Proper Ground' Resignation WARSAW, Poland (AP) Back from a meeting with the new Kremlin leaders, Wladslaw Gomulka declared yesterday the Soviet party leadership accepted Nikita Khrushchev's resignation, "having proper grounds to do so." The Polish party leader then expressed a hope that the rift in world communism could be healed by the Soviet Union and Red China taking steps to settle their ideological differences. He described the Kremlin shakeup as in accordance, with "Leninist principles of interparty unity" and said Polish-Soviet cooperation will be strengthened.
