The fourteenth and newest
fraternity-Phi Delta Beta-on
the USC campus has estab
lished its chapter in Building A
on Fraternity Row. The local
organization is seeking a charter
from the national fraternity,
Phi Delta Theta.
Don Childs is head of the
group which consists of eight
charter members. Childs said the
fraternity members have been
planning the 1962 fall rush since
last spring.
Phi Delta Theta has approved
the establishment of a chapter
at USC provided that suitable
progress is made within the
next year, and has agreed the
local fraternity will not have to
petition the national organiza
tion for a charter.I
No greater chance can be I
found for young men willing toi
work for as good a chapter as
those found on the campuses of<

Traffic
Problem
Serious
The installation of p a rk in
meters on Bull Street has prove<
rto be the first move in the annua
rclassic - the Carolina parking
problem.
Faculty Committee, which wil
meet early next week to considea
the parking problem, said the in
tstallation of meters was necessar3
to prevent double parking on Bul
Street so that visitors and mer
picking up dates would have avail
e able parking spaces.
e The committee will meet earll
r next wveek to discuss possibli
-solutions for the burgeoning cam
pus traffic and decreasing amoun1
-. of available space due to physica
ni expansion.
-Present plans call for the allot
I ment of parking spaces behinc
i Buildings K and L to faculty anc
- administration f i r s t, then t<
f marriedl students, and the remain.
der to undecrgraduates.
I The same plan will be followed
a for the parking facilities locatec
r beside McMaster School and the
a Engineering Building.
Solutions for the space probleni
dlebated last year, and still under
c-onsidleration, are the condemna
tion and razing of housing below
Blossom Street for the construec
tion of parking areas, and the re
striction of cars on campus to
upperclassmen.
A new answver to the dilemma
at least on Bull Street-may be
to enforce the meters only from
2 p.m. until midnight, student gov-.
ernent officers said.
Members of the committee re
quested that student vehicle op
erators wvork wvith them toward a
speedy rectification of the situa

Wrong Number?
Dial
Contrary to popular demand, a c
course on "the proper and precise c
method of using the campus tele
phone" is not being offered.
However, students say this is ]
not a bad idea. Throughout the t
dormitories, bewildered students, t
with telephones to their ears, I
- stand blank-faced against the r
walls in hopeless anticipation of
dialing the correct number that
will permit them to converse with 1
friends across campus.
The new Centrex telephone ex
change is one of the most progres
sive ideas to become a reality at
USC, according to officials. Not
only has it simplified outside call
ing but has increased the effi
ciency of reaching campus num
bers, and should reach its full 1
effectiveness when student users -
become familiar with the system.
The explanation given below is
meant to yield partial help to
those who have not yet reached
a right number.
Instructions for students who
have room telephones:
Outgoing Calls
Students whose rooms are fur
nished with telephones can make
local city calls by lifting the re
ceiver and listening for a dial
tone. When the dial tone is re
ceived, dial "9" for a second dial
tone, then dial the desired tele
phone number. All student tele
phones are restricted from placing
outgoing long distance calls.
Incoming Calls
Incoming calls can be received
without aid of the operator. In
placing a local call to the stu
dents' rooms, the full seven-digit
telephone number must be dialed. 1
Paid long distance calls can be
received by the students; no longi

Because of a summer-long orien

university's general expectations

enroll too late for regular orienta
tion.
Transfer students brought the
total of new students to 2,000.
Usual complaints of the heat, the
