Music Rocks Carnegie;

By ED WALLACE
Trumpets blare, drums roll, and music fills Carnegie Hall. The
casual ptudent on his way to the golf or tennis court stops and listens
and then goes on for an afternoon of fun.
—lnside, a shirt-sleeved group of 75 known as the Summer Ses
sions Band continues practice.
Why do these students give up a trip to Whipples or an after-
. noon of golf? For two reasons.
First because they enjoy music,
and second because they are pre
paring for their big concert.

dsmen who form the Summer
Sessions orchestra think it worth
while. Their goal is to draw a

W. Dunlop, assistant professor

State College Considered
For $11,000.000 Army Lab
State College is still under consideration•for the building of a
proposed $11,000,000 Army Quartermaster Laboratory, an authora
tive spokesman declared Friday. ' •
Announcement of the final decision is expected early in the fall
after an impartial committee has studied all applications for the
research project!
Final Action •
Final action on the building may be postponed because of a re-,
ported presidental order halting
prosecution of public. buildings.
This order however, is not ex
pected to delay the choosing of
a site . .
The much publicized squabble
among Boston, Philadelphia, and
State College for the loboratory
no longer exists, according to the
spokesman. A good many other
localities are still in the running.
Reports that the entire project
might be dropped have been den
ied. The spokesman said that the
laboratory would be built and
'that two years would be needed
to complete the job.
