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

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

ters on movements that have shaped
Negro writing and includes the works

“The Negro in the American Ex
perience” is another section of Liberal

Haas said.
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.

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

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

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.”

Thursday.
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.
