Penn State Welcomes Maryland
Facilities
Provided
By HUB
The Hetzel Union Build
ing opened in February,
1955. Named after Ralph
Dorn Hetzel, President of
the University from 1926-
1947, became a reality when,
in 1951, students voted to
pay $lO extra per semester
to finance a recreation center.
Added funds from alumni and
administration assured the pro
ject.
Penn State social and recrea
tional life is centered around the
HUB. Included in this building
are lounges; an art gallery; the
Lion's Den, a cafeteria; the
Terrace Room, a large dining
hall; a music room and a game
room.
Students who wish to obtain
tickets for student activities,
read their hometown newspaper,
make phone calls and sign out
books and records are able to
do these things at the HUB
desk. In addition, a book ex
change on the ground floor fa
cilitates purchase of school sup
plies as well as books.
The HUB ballroom is often for
banquets, various dances and
other events, while meeting
rooms on the second floor are
available for meetings.
Lectures and films are pre
sented in the assembly room,
which seats 196. Students who
wish to watch television may do
so in the card room, which seats
125. A U.S. post office in the
HUB offers students regular
postal service. There is also a
card room for those who want
to play cards, chess or checkers.
A student check cashing agency
is located in this room.
Students from the University
of Maryland are invited to make
full use of all HUB facilities.
Maps and information booklets
on Penn State may be obtained
upon request from the HUB
desk.
ETV Plans
Operational
Expenses
By RICHARD SPAGNOLLI
The Council of Participants ;
of the Allegheny Educational 1
Broadcast Council, which rep
resents 82 school districts
throughout central Pennsyl
vania, adopted a budget for its
operations covering the re
mainder of the 1964-65 school
term.
The AEBC is the organiza-,
tion of school administrators!
who work in conjunction with'
WPSX-TV, Channel 3. The'
University's educational tele
vis i on station; WJAC-TV,
ohnstown; and WFBG-TV, Al
toona, to plan in-school educa
tional television offerings for
the 22 county Central Penn
sylvania area covered by these
three stations.
Budget Presented
Paul Kurtz, 'president of the
AEBC and superintendent of
schools for Blair County, pre
sented the proposed schedule
of courses and the budget
necessary for this program for
the remainder of the school
year 1964-65.
The council accepted a pro
posed policy of publications,
whereby all member schools
would receive copies of the in
school Services Program Guide,
which will give a general out
line of the entire in-school
service offerings of WPSX-TV,
WJAC-TV and WFBG-TV.
With 54 houses comprising some 2,600 members, Penn State boasts the second
largest fraternity system in the nation.
And fraternities are active and conscientious in contributing to the basic pur
pose of the University: scholarship.
Any fraternity that falls below a 2.35 mean average for two consecutive terms
loses all activity privileges
with the exception of all-Uni
versity weekends.
Along with an academic at
mosphere found in the houses,
the fraternities offer the ad
vantages of social and extra
curricular participation.
Cooperative Proximity
All but seven of the houses
are located in the southeastern
section of State College, with
in walking distance of campus.
The proximity of the houses to
each other invites cooperation
in activities of many kinds.
Six of the houses are locatedl
in a group on the west end of I
campus while a seventh is
located on the western end of
State College.

Under this policy, Teacher's

Another item considered was
a basis for billing the in-school
service provided by the Coun
cil. It was decided that billing
would be by per pupil cost,
and based on average daily at
tendance of grades 1-12 for the
preceding school term.
Tentative Assessment
A per-pupil assessment fig
ure of 25 cents for the 1964-65
school year was arrived at by
the Council. Also tentatively
adopted was the 1965-66 budg

assessment of 50 cents.
New officers were appointed
and a new board of directors
was elected for the coming
year. Kurtz was renamed pres

of Westmont Hilltop Public

Maryland Greeks
By SHARON DRAUT
Diamondback Staff
Old Liners and Free Staters,
united as one in the battle
against the Nittany Lions,
queue up on opposite sides to
lose their unity when it comes
to the alpha and omega of
Greek membership.
Only about one out of six
Maryland students chooses to
affiliate with a Greek house,
estimates Assistant Dean of
Student Life George Kaludis,
IFC advisor. He feels that al
though they are in the mi
nority, the Greeks show a l
"tradition of leadership" and'
occupy a prominent place on
the Maryland campus.
Statistically, the University'
has 23 fraternities and 18 soror
ities with close to 3,000 mem
bers out of a total undergrad
uate population of 17,017.
Based on last year's figures,
20 per cent of the coeds and 15
per cent of the male students
"go Greek."

and the "week-end warrior
problem," as Marylanders term
the Friday-night exit of large
numbers of resident students
for the weekend, further re
duces the campus role as the
hub for student social life.
Also, because the University
is located near two large cities,
students are not necessarily de
pendent for their social life on
the campus in general or Greek
system in particular.
These reasons help to ex
plain why Maryland has a
smaller percentage of rushees
than Penn State, Kaludis feels.
But the majority of student
leaders in central student gov
ernment are members of a fra
ternity or sorority, said Kalu
dis. Nine out of 15 current

several innovations.
In addition to a traditional
Spring Greek Week, dedicated
to the "reincarnation of the
earth and spirit" along with
activities in a lighter vein, IFC
and Panhel have initiated a
Fall Greek Week which will
have "a serious bent."
Greek Rededication
Among planned events are a
personal rededication to Greek
ideals; election-day carpools to
take voters to the polls and a
baby-sitting service for vot
ing mothers; a "Convention"
workshop among the houses to
discuss problems of finances,
rush, and chapter management;
a blood drive; and the an
nual competition of barbershop
quartets in Harmony Hall.
In Spring Greek Week, any
thing goes from pig greasing
contests, telephone booth stuff
ing, and kite flying to Greek
olympics and chariot races.
University sororities also
have a unique "workshop" sys

year.

workshops meet to discuss

'Faculty Associates Program,
started about a year ago. It
'represents an attempt to estab

the faculty ,by encouraging
personal student-faculty con
tact.
Faculty Associates
Faculty members are invited
to various houses for dinner,
fireside chats and other events.
Following an initial contact
they may be invited to become
a faculty associate of the house.
Although the associates have
no official functions, they be
come "welcome guests or hon
ored visitors," in short, a friend
of the house.
They may also act as a liai
son between the house and
other faculty members.
To date, there is approxi
mately one associate for each
sorority house. Although spon
sored by Panhel, the program
is in no way limited to Greek
houses and the council is hope
ful of creating interest in it
among the residence halls and
the fraternities.
Fraternities at Maryland are

Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Tau

Campus Offers Guests
Variety of Activities,
Landmarks, Traditions
By CAROL POSTHUMUS
One way in which visitors
from one university can feel
more at home when visiting
another is to take a look at
some campus landmarks and
learn of the traditions con
nected with them.
For instance, guests from
Maryland might be interested
in taking a stroll down the
Mall, the long double walk
way which extends from the
gate on College Avenue at
S. Allen Street to Pattee at
the top of the hill, to look at
the stone Obelisk which stands
at the west side, just past
Sackett Building (home of The
Daily Collegian).
Strange Signs
Since the beginning of this
term some very strange signs
have been seen tied to the
Obelisk: "Watch out for falling
rocks," and more recently, "Out
of order."
What's the story behind these
"complaints"? Visitors, ask any
fairly well-informed Penn
State student.
Another campus landmark,
found on the east side of the
Mall, is the willow tree, grown
from a branch of venerable
"Old Willow," which was de
stroyed by a storm in 1922.

Within Old Main itself can
be seen a set of murals de

and its ideals. During the day,
a walk up the staircase will
bring visitors to the top of
the tower for a view of the
campus and the entire Nittany
Valley, dressed for the occasion

More than 4,000 Univers

faculty members and rela

end at Penn State.
Many Maryland fraternities
.ontacted their Penn State af
l'iliates earlier this month to
make final arrangements for ac
commodations and get-togethers.
A spokesman for Phi Sigma
Kappa fraternity said that al
nost 50 of its members are at
tending the Away Weekend.
Other Maryland fraternities such
as Sigma Chi had difficulty in
finding adequate accommoda
tions.
Booked Solid
All area motels and hotels
were hooked full more than three
weeks ago. The closest accom
modations are in Altoona, 32
miles away.
Most Penn State fraternities
are having open parties for their
brothers and dates from Mary
land.
In addition to post-game festiv
ities for fraternity members, a
group of independent students
has planned activities. Last
night, the group held a dance at
the Penn-Alto Hotel in Altoona.
Samuel Bliden, chairman of
the independent group of stu
dents, said that over 100 people
attended the dance at the hotel.
Plans for tonight include parties
and visits to the Penn State
campus. Bliden suggested his
I group and all other interested
persons meet at the Penn-Alto
Hotel tonight.
Away Weekend was held here
two years ago. That year, over
,1,500 Maryland students braved
;a severe snow storm to sec their
team lose to the Nittany Lions.
This Away Weekend is the sec
ond one this year for University
of Maryland students. Tw o
