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

AIM Council Emulates IFC ;
President Holds Cabinet Post
By Wilbert Roth
What is AIM? What is its pur
pose? Why was it formed?
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

Seats Available

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.

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.
