Display On the mezzanine of Old Main crouches a 600-pound Niftany mountain lion. It is the full-size plasiter model of the Lion Shrine as designed by Heinz Warneke, sculptor commissioned by the class of 1940. Glaring eyes, taut muscles, and a ponderous tail identify the p..)w erful symbol Of Penn State. "This model with its strong lines is most suited to represent a great uni-' versity." Mr. Warneke said after helping nine other men carry the three-times life-size model up the Old Main stairs. The actual Shrine will, be placed between Rec Hall and New Beav er Field to the right of the steps in front of the : Water Tower.

It was this question which sparked a heated discussion at last night's fourth, freshman mass meeting in Schwab Auditorium. During the panel discusSion, the problem of courtesy arose. Mrs. Elizabeth W. Dye, associate pro fessor of borne economics, men tioned that if.was against rules of courtesy for men to wear hats in doors :and asked whether the freshmen were required to wear dinks during indi - s meetings. Everett Catlin '45 rose in de fense of his classmates on the point . and quoted from the fresh r man bible that dinks shall be worn at all indoor athletic con tests and mass meetings. Mts. Dye voiced her dislike of this rule and when she asked for a show of hands, a great majority signaled- their objeCtion to the rule. Raymond F. Leffler '42, chairman of tribunal, could not be reached ,last -night for a state ment concerning this custom. Besides the problem of courtesy, personal etiquette, dating prob lems . and personal appearance were 'discussed by the board of Seven- -experts ; , headect-:by, Harold , P. Zelko, instructor in, public, speaking, and including Mrs. Dye; Ruth H. Zang, assistant dean of women; W. E. Kenworthy, execu tive secretary to the - president; Dr. Kingsley R. Smith, assistant professor of psychology; Sarah P. Searle '42, and A.' John Currier '42, PSCA Cabinet co-presidents. Walter N. Shambach '42, chair -man. of .the PSCA committee on public meetings, who served •as master of ceremonies, dmiounced that at next week's meeting which will be the last in this series, Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, head of the department - of psychology, will speak on "Personality and the Freshman." Miriam L. Rhein '43, Penn' State's singing coed, will also appear. ROTC lnspection Slated Col. Edward D. Ardery, head of College ROTC, has announced that Col. F. G. Kellorfd, chief of Civilian Components for 3rd Corps Area will inspect both ROTC Corps today. He also stated that there would bean engineering• pa rade at 4 p. m., October 29 and an infantry parade at 4 p. m., October 27. The 'model faces the Land Grant Mural of Henry Varnum Poor. Observing this, Mr. Warneke re marked, "This trend toward the understanding of contemporary art is something of which both the College and the students should be very proltd. "We hope the students will re gard both the model and the shrine as lasting art works. We have absolute confidence in their integrity. Student observation of the actual carving in the spring will be welcome at all times." Mr. Warneke expects actual carving to take about half a year. He has already spent many months studying animal anatomy. Delay_ in getting suitable plaster for the final .model alone delayed him a month and a half.

Baird '42, president elect, who re turned to College Monday after gaining deferment from the draft. Baird will assume his office imme diately. Alderfer Studies County Vofing The possibility of predicting how Pennsylvania will vote in a Presi deptial ,electi on. ,i by : , polling. strateg is counties is indicated in a study just published by Dr. Harold F. Alder fer, executive secretary of the In stitute of Local Government, and Robert M. Sigmond, graduate stu dent. The Democratic vote since 1920 in Indiana and Somerset counties, for example, has been consistently about ten per cent below the state's Democratic average, the study showed: Therefore if more than four of ten voters in these counties vote Democratic, the state as a whOle will probably go Democratic on. the basis of its past voting be havior. "If it were possible to take an in tensive poll of such counties before the next. Presidential election, we should have a fairly accurate meas ure of the political temper of the state," Dr. Alderfer said. "Results can not be guaranteed, however, as new issues and personalities may throw even these percentages out of line though they have not done so in the past." Although there was. no division between urban and rural voting in 1920, by 1940 there was an almost idetnical correlation between ur ban areas and Democratic' voting, Dr. Alderfer pointed out. prohibits the start of carving and because Mr. Warneke's contract stipulates that his work shall be done before the students he will be unable to continue his plans for several months.• "Roughing out" of a huge block of Indiana limestone will be done by quarry workers and then com pleted by Mr, Warneke on the site selected yesterday. The, figure will have a natural setting .with evergreen trees serv ing as a background. Some of the trees now standing will be taken away to fashion a clear vis ta. Natural boulders will be used as a base. A walk will cross in front of the Shrine and continue from the stairto the Water Tower. Thomas W.

Baird '42 is again All- College president, following the resignation last night of Gerald F. Doherty '42, who was installed as president three weeks ago after Baird did not return 'to College at the beginning of this year. Baird, who returned Monday af ter being granted deferment from the draft, was officially recogniz ed as the All-College president at Cabinet meeting last night. The change was brought about by a "gentlemen's agreement" between Baird and Doherty, because no provision is made in the consti tution, which would bear on the unusual situation of having two student presidents. In taking over the chairman ship of Cabinet, Baird remarked, "I wish to commend Jerry for the fine work he has been doing. 'I have heard no complaints, and that is something that one may say of very few legislative bodies. Above all, I'm certainly glad to be back at State."
