Approximately two weeks ago an over w he'mmg majority of students favored the -linne plan according to the results of a c'iegian poll. All of the 91 per cent who approved the erection stated that it should lie located nn campus. Obviously, if the lion shiine is to be used 1 cr large pep rallies, victory celebrations, or mass meetings, it should be located on the campus. —"i'feseiitjjlgns indicate that it will be lm- I ossible to construct the first conception ol LP.e shrine—“A Nittany Lion—with an open space nearby foi a bonfire." No de an able location is available for such a com bination Thus, efforts now are concentrat et in an attempt to favorably locate the shi mo.
