Present To Discuss Building Plan

Feu?

By FRANK BROWNING
Kernel Associate Editor
Fewer than 75 people turned up for an open discussion Wednesday at the Student Center to explain
and hear comment on the University's overall campus

development plan.
The discussion opened a week long display of the
campus design at the Center Art Callery sponsored
by the President's Advisory Committee on Building
and Campus Development, made up of faculty members.
Campus Planner Larry Coleman called the plan
a "statement for the University's most basic need-la- nd
for development."
Both Coleman and committee member Paul Oberst,
acting dean of the Law School, emphasized that ihe
plan was approved by the Trustees in 1963 in principle only, not as an unalterable design.

Coleman compared the physical development of
the campus to changes as set forth in the academic
program, stating that each should support the other.
"There is one basic trend," he said, "and that
is toward greater concentration and solidification of
the academic program with an abandonment of rigid
departmentalization. The physical development should
reflect the same objective."
According to Coleman, the present distribution of
academic buildings, offices, and service areas is a
random one that fails to follow any ordered plan.
But he singles out "communications and circulation" as one of the biggest faults with the campus
now. He says there is now no real system of entrance
or egress to and from the campus.

Freshman Fraternity Boarders
Barred From House Activities
By DICK KIMMINS
Kernel Staff Writer

Freshman boarders living in
fraternity houses will be allowed
to pledge provided they do not
d
take part in any
function, the Kernel learned
Thursday.
IFC functions especially designed for freshmen are not included in the regulation.
"Freshmen were placed in
fraternity houses because there
was no available space to house
them," acting Dean of Men Jack
Hall said. "Freshmen must still
have a 2.0 standing at the end
of their first semester to pledge,"
he noted.
Phi Sigma Kappa Vice President Byron Combs told the Kernel that Phi Sig "asked for the
freshmen
they
particular
wanted."
Rick Began, a Zeta Beta Tau
officer, said "the freshmen came
to us. Four or five of our 15
boarders are freshmen."
Other fraternities indicated
they had only sophomore boarders and that some of them intended to pledge in the second semester. One fraternity declined
to say how many boarders they
housed or give their classification.

Danny Sussman, President of
IFC, said that the Dean of Men's
office gives each prospective
boarder a list of the fraternity
houses that will accept boarders.
"The freshman then goes to any
one of the houses and has an
interview with fraternity's housing committee.
"This way, the fraternity can
choose the boy it wants," Sussman said.
Sussman further told the Kernel that the IFC has no definite
plans concerning freshmen. "We

"We will have to leave ffiat up
to the fraternity. It would be
kind of hard for the IFC to keep
up with all the boarders."

touched off heated controversies at three colleges across the

Attempts by local chapters
of the
group to
secure recognition as student organizations have come under attack from school administrators
at Indiana University, the University of Illinois, and Temple
University and have raised
charges that the schools are violating student rights to freedom
of association.
At Indiana, school officials
arrested two DuBois Club members on Sept. 15 for trespassing,
after students attempted to distribute literature to participants
at a school activities fair. The
IU Dean of Students had previously told them to leave the
Marxist-oriente-

d

and
both
students defended the DuBois
Club's right to distribute literature.
In another case. Republican
state Rep. Charles Clabaugh denounced a proposed University
of Illinois DuBois Club. Basing
his opinion on Justice Department reports, Clabaugh said the
Communist
club was "a
organization they're no damn
good."
Clabaugh plans to fight the
club's establishment on campus.
Meanwhile, the Liberty Counof the John

Robert Bennett, local club
organizer, said several people
have told him the university w ill
not recognize the DuBois Club.
If so, he will seek support of the
American Civil Liberties Union.
In Philadelphia, a DuBois
Club chapter, refused recognition
from Temple University last year,
has applied again. Last year, the
club's constitutional clause requiring members to follow national policy was contrary to
university regulations that chapters of national groups be autonReview,

omous.

The natonal organization has
since amended the constitution
and recommends chapters to follow national policy, but allows
them to determine their own.
The appeal for recognition,
to be brought before committee
in October, may be rejected if
the club's policy is interpreted
as contrary to another Temple
University policy on controversial affairs.
This policy, as stated in tlu
Student Activities Handbook, encourages "maximum freedom ol
discussion and at the same tinu
protects the University's positior
as a
institution con
cerned with education as dis
