225 Fined For
Christmas Cuts
Approximately 225 students
were fined.ss for class absences
48 hours before and after Christ
mas vacation in the second levy
on class cut violators, the Senate
Committee on Vacation Absences
ahnounced today.
Although 960 students were re
ported absent by class instruc
tors, compared with 628 handed
in during the Thanksgiving va
cation. only 450 students were
billed, with half of these excus
ed in later petitions tq the com
mittee.
With 388 fines imposed for
Thanksgiving violations over
shadowing the 225 fined for
Christmas cuts, the committee
announced that the reason for
the decrease was. that students
worked in post office and clerical
positions, had excuses for sick
ness, or had not left campus dur
ing the cut fine period.
Many students were unable to
receive their grade sheets and
register for the second semester
classes yesterday because they
had. not, paid their fine, the com
mittee revealed. It will be ne
cessary to have the account paid
before students can enroll.

Greyhound Must
Propose Hew Site
By February 17
Representatives of the Penn
sylvania Greyhound Bus system
were given until February 17 to
present proposals for a new bus
terminal by the borough council
at a regular meeting January 20,
pending the abolishment of the
present stop on February 20.
H. S. Crawford, regional di
rector of the Greyhound lines,
told the council that the bus com
pany was between two fires.
Crawford said that he had been
informed of student ' opinion
which opposed moving the pres
ent bus stop. Counter to this op
inion, he stated, the bus com
pany was bound by the borough
ordinance which abolishes the
College Avenue stop on February
20.
Several sites for a proposed
bus terminal are available and
it is possible that the bus com
pany will suggest one of them at
the February 17 meeting.
One possible site is the prop
erty of Roebrt L. Hamill on North
Atherton Street, just south-west
of the Bellefonte Central Rail
road tracks. The north-west cor
ner of Beaver Avenue and Pugh
Street is another possible site.
Several sites on South Atherton
Street have been suggested for
consideration.
M! Will Offer Courses
In Meteorology In 1941
In an article announcing new
courses, which appeared in yes
terday’s Daily Collegian, it was
erroneously stated that advanced
courses in mineralogy would be
given by the Mineral Industries
School.
Instead, the courses are to be
based on a study of meterology.
