Grad Repeats Resignation Demand By SALLY MACH'HREY collegian Staff Writer ' Referring to President-Eric- A. Walker as a “symbolic target”, Gary Sykes (graduate political science) made another call for Presi dent Walkers resignation last night at a me eting of the Mortar Board Hat Society. "‘‘Students are starting to become aware of their ‘nigger’ role,” Sykes said. Sykes arrived at this conclusion with the aid of his fellow speaker. Jack W. Haas, assistant professor of sociology. Haas described similarities between the “nigger” and the “student”. “The faculty sometimes feel that they have to make ‘nig gers’ out of students,” Haas said. ‘You can’t educate slaves, you can’t educate ‘niggers’, and apparently you can’t LA. Adds Black Culture By PAT GUROSKY Collegian. Staff Writer Courses to provide a better un derstanding of black culture in the United States have been added to the University curriculum. .

Haas backed up his statements with three complaints: ■ Forced formality among faculty and stu- The importance of pleasing the teacher instead of defending what a student feels is right. The paramount importance of grades. He hopes that eventually “students will educate the faculty to realize that the grade is not all-powerful” and cannot be used as a “bludgeon” to keep students in line. “The black man has gotten out of his bag,” he said, “The student has just recently gotten out of his bag.” Like the black man who is now organizing so he can “get his piece of the pie,” the student must now organize. Negro Literature Courses Considers Facult UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., FRIDAY MORN.MG, OCTOBER 25, 1968 Police May Investigate Frats Serving Minors The head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the State College Borough Police said yesterday that he considers that fra ternities are private homes, but if someone complained that minors were being served alcoholic beverages, he would investigate the charge. When asked what would be done if the Ad ministration complained, Sergeant Clifford H. Yorks said, “If Mel Klein (assistant to the dean of student affairs for fraternity affairs) asked us to go along with him to a fraternity house, we would do it and arrest any minors being served alcohol along with the president of the fraternity.” Nate Kurland, a member of Zeta Beta Tau, has suggested that his proposal for abolishing the rule prohibiting alcoholic beverages when women visit bedrooms in fraternity houses, should be put into effect by the Interfraternity Council even if the Administration does not agree to it. At Monday’s meeting IFC President Eric Prystowsky expressed the fear that the Admin istration might crack down on the fraternities and stop protecting them from the Liquor Control Board. Klein was not available for comment on Whereas Haas compared the student to the nigger, Sykes compared the student to the ma chine.“ We’re part of some organization from the time we enter 'college''Until" the time we leave,” Sykes said, “the student is completely processed.” He blamed much of this on the type of university Eric Walker has helped to create. “Eric Walker is a man of science and . Ms sa.d “He cannot evaluate qualitative change, only quantitative change...he equates education with training...he de-emphasizes liberal arts because it is not practical.” Sykes stated that an understanding of our environment is necessary to live in our rapidly changing world. “The scientists and engineers can build us an environment physically, but what good will it do if the foundation isn’t Liberal Arts in which the Afro- American culture is a significant part include American Studies 100, In troduction to American Studies; Political Science 473, Constitutional Law: Civil Rights; Religious Studies 122.

Fedeli, director of the LCB’s enforcement office in Altoona. Fedeli said that if a violation was brought to his attention he would investigate it but it would have to be a “joint venture between the University, the borough authorities and the Liquor Control •k k ★ IFC Control Chairman Explains Visitation By MARGE COHEN Collegian Staff Writer The Interfraternity Council’s extended visita tion act, effective as of Monday of this week, has caused some confusion among fraternity members, IFC Board of Control Chairman Bob DiOno said last night. DiOrio explained its provisions “in order to clarify any discrepancies about the new bill.” The bill stipulates that women are allowed only in living and recreation areas of fraternity sound?” he asked. Because we haven’t been able to develop the “tools” to understand our environment, Sykes must put our energies into what Eric Walker might label the ‘lesser prac tical arts”. According to Sykes, the president of the University .must be able to “look at the Univer sity in its ideal role, not in its pragmatic role. Sykes said the University should be a “center of change...a center for the development of the whole man and a center for the understanding of ideas.” “The University should be every thing, Penn State is not,” he said. Because of this, Sykes feels there is a need for student organization and a drive for reform. There is a lot of potential student leadership and, as Haas said, “an issue could be very suc cessful in mobilizing support.” TW3 They want The Women That Will?

It further provides for female visitation from noon until 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday “in all areas of the fraternity house except those desig nated as sleeping areas,” DiOrio said. But, he continued, only those women using the Association of Women Students’ After Hours Service—*late permission— will be permitted in fraternity houses from 11:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday. The latter stipulation was made, DiOrio ex plained, to comply with University regulations re garding women’s curfew. The Sunday night cur few is 1 a.m. DiOrio added that, “for the present, all other rules concerning visitation are the same.” He did say, however, that the IFC executive board was ‘‘optimistic” about changes in the cur rent fraternity visitation policies. But, he empha sized that any changes that do result require “great thought and consideration as they will effect the system for years to come.” For this reason, he continued, “it is so impor tant for Council to follow prescribed channels” in accomplishing change. Though revisions in Council policy made now will reflect the consensus of a majority of member fraternities, DiOrio stressed the need to “recog nize the present Council’s responsibility to the fraternity system.” Changes must be applicable to today as well as tomorrow, he said. He added that, “in the near future,” a bill will be presented to Council by the ad hoc committee studying, the visitation issue, but he did not specify exactly when that would be.
