will not interfere with its integrity as far as state aid is concerned yates said that no regular legislative appropria tions are available to lehigh because it is private he added that if lehigh was considered for such aid other schools throughout the state would protest another matter of interest concerning university finances involves the ford foundation several years ago controversy between lehigh and this founda tion arose but since that time the foundation has come under new management said yates and lehigh is now considering a new approach to the group rumors concerning the high priority of an athletic stadium here and its adverse affect upon academic grants were labeled completely false by yates student life proposes social code revisions by dee mcallister proposals formulated by the student life committee for revision of the social codes dealing with women m dormitory and fraternity rooms were discussed friday at a joint meeting of that committee and the social codes committee the student life committee offered four different proposals of social code revision concerning women m rooms for consideration by the social codes group these alternative revisions had been formulated by the life committee at previous meetings on the subject r wayne kraft professor of metallurgy and student life com mitteeman listed the alternatives the first possible revision would be a closed-door policy with no statement of standards the second possible revision would be a closed-door policy with a statement of standards also there could be an open-door policy with no statement of standards or an open-door policy with a statement of standards bill taylor vice president of the class of 70 and member of social codes said that kraft had maintained that student life could not ser iously consider the first proposal for recommendation to the faculty in addition the second alternative was difficult to consider because of the difficulty of creating a workable and enforcable statement of standards which kraft had said student life had unsuccessfully tried to do committee considered bookstore remedies by brian kanes at the beginning of this academic year following numerous complaints by students and faculty members an investi gation was begun on the deficiencies of and possible remedies for the unlver s i t y supply bureau a subcommittee of the university center advisory committee headed by dr charles e patterson assistant professor of government first met m october and then several times m november to discuss evaluating the bookstore and possible improvements foi it dr patterson said they considered many faults and solu tions although nothing was done he did say that elmer w click university treasurer and the administrator in charge of the bookstore was present at the december meeting with stanley f heffner bookstore manager " mr click is very willing to help and is now very aware of the situation in the bookstore patterson said harvey york then president of arcadia and a member of the subcommittee said the best solu tion they came up with one accepted by all members wa to move the textbooks out of the supply bureau completely the plan he said was to sell them in another room m the u.c possibly the osbourne room for the first few weeks and then move them to the university's warehouse glick told the group a special room could be built in the warehouse to lock up the books york explained that if a student wanted one of the texts later m the year he could order it and one day per week would be set aside for anemployeeto pick up the requested books m the warehouse all the built-in shelves m the bookstore would then be filled with the paper back books that according to patterson are so necessary for the development of a good undergraduate as well as an expanded graduate school the only textbooks that would remain are the miscellaneous science and engineering texts that occupy the top shelf around the south and west ends of the supply bureau to my knowledge nothing is being done they have • committee formed but ulsdntaß not hi ng . i can see no reason why ," york said patterson explained that this solution was seen by the committee as something that could be done immediately a short-range solution he said preston parr dean of student life and heffner had been charged with exploring the feasibility of this idea and with finding an appropriate room in the u.c " marty cohen president of arcadia xxf was also asked tc write to the national student association to investigate the situation of bookstores especially cooperative book stores on other campuses but i suppose he has been tied up with too many other things recently patterson added patterson said that the sub committee wanted to have more records and more paperbacks he said they had also been studying the possibility of building a separate larger facility (" someone was supposed to see the faculty administration facilities committee which re views university needs the committee is also dis cussing solutions to the crowded snackbar patterson noted " i think something m the very near future must be done the present arrangement in the bookstore is a disgrace he said adding " i am leaving at the end of this year and would like to see something done before then it could be done immediately b*w photo by hoffheins
