Full-Size Shrine Model On. 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

WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, STATE COLLEGE, PA
Fresh Discuss
Dink Courtesy
Are freshmen required to wear
their dinks in campus buildings
and buildings in town? 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.

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

"Roughing out" of a huge block
of Indiana limestone will be done
by quarry workers and then com

selected yesterday.
The, figure will have a natural
setting .with evergreen trees serv

the trees now standing will be
taken away to fashion a clear vis

PRICE THREE CENTS
Doherty Resigns
Post In Favor
Of Deferred Prexy
Robert D. 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."
