Gridders Slate Army in '49/50; Norton Injured The elation over the news yes terday afternoon that Penn State and Army will renew their grid rivalry atfer nine years was dampened today by the an nouncement that it will be ’‘doubtful” if Negley Noiton, vet eran Lion tackle, will play in the crucial Michigan State game Sat urday. “Norton had a shoulder separa tion last year,” said Dr. A. H. Griess, team physician, “and in last Saturday’s .. game he aggra vated his injury. The X-rays tak negative, but his shoudei is in ’§ ’• pad shape at the s.WtfSmjjm “It is possible that he will re cover in time for NORTON the game, but at this stage, it’s extremely doubt ful.” Countering the disheartening news of Norton’s loss was the an nouncement of the renewal of the Penn State-Army grid warfare. When the Lions last played the Cadets in 1939, the battle ended in a 14-14 deadlock. Both Penn State and Army are top contenders for the Lambert Trophy, with Army leading the (Continued on page three) La Vie Pictures Seniors in the School of En ginering will have- their pic tures taken all this week at the Penn State Photo Shop, said Joh n English, editor.

For the past week or so the col umns of the Daily Collegian have been filled with news about the doings of the AIM committee, its elections, and its plans for the future. Now that it is soon to be come functional, perhaps a closer study of its organization is in order. AIM, >or the Association of In dependent Men, is just what its name implies—an association of independent men. Through elec tions now being conducted, 76 men will be elected to the AIM council. This council, similar in many ways to the Interfraternity Council, will be a body of repre sentatives elected by all inde pendent men both on campus and in town. Approximately one rep resentative will be elected for each 55 students. Executive Committee Aii independent men students are eligible to vote for these rep resentatives. Once all the mem bers to the council have been elected they will choose a five man executive committee com posed of a president, ,a vice-pres ident from town, a vice-president living on the campus, a secretary, and a treasurer. The president of the council will take his seat on All-College Cabinet as representative of the College’s independent men. The council as a whole will act as a governing body for the independ ents much as the IFC acts for the fraternities. Purpose Purpose of the organization can best be stated by quoting from the constitution, which must be ratified by the elected AIM council. The constitution states “. • • m order to foster a closer re lationship between independent men, to insure equal representa tion in student government, and to provide better social and ath letic opportunities, we do ordain and establish this Constitution of the AIM.” The idea for AIM grew out of P l]T J'l I 1 Mostly sunny and -V y * | a little warmer . Football Movies Football movie s of the West Virginia game will be shown at Schwab Auditorium at 7 o'- clock tomorrow night. Coach Michael* will explain the play*. Seats Available For 'Wingback' Seats are still available at Stu dent Union for “Bring Back My Wingback,” Thespian musical which will-be produced in Schwab Auditorium at 7 p.m. Thursday. Friday, and Saturday. Reserved seats at $1 are being sold for Friday and unreserved seats for Thursday are 75 cents each Saturday's show will be for alumuni only. 1968 Setting “Bring Back My Wingback” telis what happens when a '4B grad comes back in 1968 and finds the Saturday afternoon gridiron situation completely reversed, in fact, no one is paying any atten tion to the once-celebrated foot ball team. Instead, the Blue Band shows off its talents for tin min uates on New Beaver Field while the team is allowed to perform only between the halves, and even the wingback nas descried the ranks to play the cymbals. What happens when the team is re duced to ten players and forced to practice in hidden places, re sults in a ballet by the team in the locker room, one of the highlights of the show. Troupers Return Aaron Osipow. who was the phony Russian in “Great White Bear” and Billie Cooper, the scat ter-brained music teacher in the same production, arc back again to supply comedy. Ollier veteran troupers are Robert Cobaugh. Peggy Cunningham. Kenny Em erson, Tad Komorowski. Candy McCollom, Selma Rudnick, Syd Simon and Dick Trumbore. the fact that previously inde pendent men had had a very un fair representation in student government. Prior to last year, all independents, both men and women, were represented on Cabinet by two representatives elected by the Independent Stu dent Council. Represented Twice The council was composed ol representatives of the Penn State Club, Philo t e s, Independent Men’s Association, and Independ ent Women’s Association. This resulted in some men, those v. ho were members of boti, the Penn State Club and IMA, being repre sented twice, while others, who were not members ot either or ganization, were not represented at all. Formulated by Donald Little, chairman of the AIM committee, the new council provides equal representation tor every inde pendent man attending the Col lege. Whether it will achieve its purpose or not depends on the interest and support ol the men who most need it--the inde pendents.
