The House Armed Services Committee votetl Tuesday to

of Army military science, said in
an interview that this bill, if
passed by the House of Representatives, will not alter the present four-yeprogram, but will
provide a more flexible military
training program with increased
pay.
At the present time, a retainer
of $.90 a day is paid to all students in advanced ROTC. Under
the proposed plan, this retainer
will be increased to $50 a month.

Registration
To Be Based
On Standing
Remember those hectic reg
istrations of the past? You
may not have to go through
all that again. They're going
to try something new next
semester.
The first students to register in
January will be those who had 4.0
standings during this semester,
according to Miss Sarah Utter-baca secretary in the Office of
the Registrar. The students who
had 3.9 standings will be the
next to register, and so on down
the line.

Col. Alcorn said the use of the
two-yeprogram would be optional. The increased pay will be
given to all students in advanced
ROTC, but use of the two-yeplan will be up to students.
"The prime advantage of this
new program," said Col. Alcorn,
"is the opportunity for military
training. This plan will make
available to students who transfer to the University from any
school where a military science
training is not provided."
Col. Alcorn concluded by saying
any further niformation regarding the new military program
would have come at a later date,
because his department has still
not received all the details on the
plan.
Col. Richard Boys, professor of
aerospace science, could not be
reached for comment.

Adequate Student Parking
Still In Distant Future
(Editor's Note: Kernel Daily
Editor Richard Stevenson has
made the following survey of the
campus parking system in relation to a recent Kernel editorial
on the financing of the system.)

The day when University
students will have parking
places on campus appears to
still be in the distant future.

I .OS ANGELES, Calif.-T- he
Kappa Sigma,
fraternity chapter at Occidental College says its national organization has an "unwritten gentleman's agreement" barring
Negroes from membership, so the local chapter wants out.

Contacted yesterday, John Conner, president of the University
of Kentucky Kappa Sigma Chapter, said he had "no comment"
a this time.
"We usually hear from our
national immediately on things
like this, and we have heard
nothing about this stiuation,"
said Conner. "Until we hear from
the national office we have absolutely no comment."
At another California school,
Stanford University, the local

Kappa Sigs Protest
Segregation 'Rule'
Prentiss Willson Jr., president
of the Delta Upsilon Chapter at
Occidental, said in a telegram to
national headquarters yesterday:
"We feel that the basis of
brotherhood is
the
maintenance of which is foremost
in our minds. Therefore, Kappa
Sigma's discrimination membership requirements are incompatible with our moral obligations."
Willson said the chapter decided at an emergency session to
withdraw from the national organization. He said the national
fraternity had eliminated written
references about restricting membership, "but there is an unwritten rule against pledging
Negroes."

clauses.
President
Stanford Chapter
Thomas Grey commented at the
time, "It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a pledge class
that is willing to accept membership in an organization which
denies admittance on purely
racial grounds."
Five University of Virginia students chartered a plane to fly to
Yale to protest the imminent
pledging of a Negro to the Delta
Psl chapter there. They were
given a hearing, but the Negro
was pledged.
Restrictive fraternity clauses
have been outlawed at Rutgers
since 1958. Many houses there are
now integrated. In 1952 Wisconsin University had 13 chapters
with discriminatory clauses. None
have them now. At Dartmouth,
undergraduates at their own initiation voted to do away with
restrctive clauses.
criminatory

parking plan presented to the
Board of Trustees last June by
Campus Planner Lawrence Coleman has no timetable. The plan,
consisting of structures and surface lots, will be evolved as the
overall campus plan develops.
However, an expansion in the
current parking fee system could
provide more spaces in the current areas and even an early
start in the parking structures.
Presently, student parkers pay
most of the University's cost
while faculty and staff members
park free.
An additional $70,000 could be
added to the revolving parking
service fund by charging faculty
and staff the same fees charged
students.
This $70,000 would be collected if each of the 2.400 faculty
and staff members with stickers
were required to pay the same
$10 a semester charged students.
The revolving parking service
fund, responsible for construction, upkeep, and guards for the
parking areas, will take in about
$16,000 this year from student
parking stickers fees.
Additional money for the fund
comes from parking spaces sold
in lots during athletic contests
and from payment of parking
fines by students. Faculty members are not required to pay fines
on tickets received on campus.
The addition of approximately
$70,000 in new funds each year
to the revolving fund would allow an expansion of the present
system or a start on the system
of structures and areas.
The 640 students, paying $10
a semester (and $5 for a summer
term), are allowed to park in
only six of the 23 parking areas.
This student figures does not
include 1,400 students with free
stickers that do not allow
parking.
The 2,400 faculty and staff permit holders are allowed to park
in 18 lots. Only students with
hardship cases are issued permits
in these areas.
There are 748 available spaces
in the student lots, but only 2,003
available
in the faculty-sta- ff
areas. Thus this year overflow
faculty-staf- f
cars are being allowed in student areas.
The parking areas, faculty-sta- ff
and student, are of varying sizea
and capacities. Some of these
areas me actual ivrking tots

while others are portions of cam-pdrives.
Two adjacent parking area
were opened, this fall between
the new Student Center and Stoll
Field. However, these lots only
increase the total capacity about
60 spaces, as they were partially
designed to replace the lots
closed by construction of the
Student Center addition and the
Commerce Building construction.
Paving of the lots is the only
parking expense not met directly
by the parking fund. Money for
paving is borrowed from other
funds and the income from these
lots, on which money for paving
was borrowed, goes to pay for the
paving.
There are no current plans for
relieving the shortage in parking
spaces. With the growing faculty,
staff, and student body, however, the problem becomes greater with each passing semester.
While little is being done on
the current problem, Mr. Coleman has a long-ransystem of
parking structures and lots of
accommodate 11,300 vehicles.
These spaces would be in si
surface lots and seven parkin
structures. These parking areas
would help to free entrance and
service drives from the heavy
congestion, in addition to furnishing the needed additional
parking spaces.
The proposed seven parking:
structures will be located in or
close to the proposed academio
area. This plan would have a
structure located within
feet of each building to provide
a 3- - to
walk from tha
structures to the classroom.
From the student's standpoint,
however, the structure would furnish little relief to the problem
because the structures will be
reserved for faculty and staff.
The six parking lots, for student use. would be located oa
the fringe area of the proposed
new campus.
To a current student, the location of the proposed parking
areas will seem, rather than on
the fringe of the campus, to be
nearly across town. This- - is due
to the expanded campus which
will stretch from Broadway to
proposed new streets east of
Cooperstown and from Maxwell
to the newly extended Cooper
Drive.
