BX Closes at Noon;
Refunds Due Patrons
The Student Book Exchange, located in the TUB, will close for
the semester at noon today. Refunds amounting to twenty per cent
of the original purchase price will be refunded to students upon
presenting their receipts at the exchange next week, from 2-5 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
• Lee Burns, chairman of the board of control for the exchange,
said yesterday that according to
present plans the book exchange
will not be open during the sum
mer sessions. Operation will re
sume early in the fall semester.
“The exchange has made an ex
cellent beginning, but there are
many goals still to be attained,”
said Burns. “It has more than
justified its creation because of
the cooperation of the student
body, members of the board of
control and the Book Exchange
Committee.”
Books and supplies have been
sold during the semester at pre
vailing prices. Students benefit
through the refunding process
beginning next week and also
because of the campus location
of the exchange.
“Only if students take advan
tage of the rebates will the book
exchange realize its value as a
service to them,” said Burns.
The exchange, which has now
been in operation nearly a sem
ester, was started through capital
"obtained from All-College Cab
inet. A financial report will be
made public as soon at it is com
pleted next week.
Joanne Hobbs, chairman of the
Book Exchange Committee and
secretary of the board of control,
has been active in making a suc
cess of the exchange. Other
members of the committee are
Nancy Cray, Dorothy Coon, Rich
ard Evans, Virginia Francis, John
Hunter and Albert Sheinfeld.
Edmund Walacavage has served
as treasurer of the board, and
other members include Ted Allen,
George Bearer and William Ren
shaw.

Prof Loans Car,
Reports It Stolen
Police in all parts of the state,
New England and several states
south of Pennsylvania were alert
ed. A member of the College fac
ulty was missing his car and had
reported it as stolen Thursday
afternoon.
State police at the Pleasant Gap
sub-station and Rockview Bar
racks went to work on the case.
Descriptive information and the
license number of the car were
flashed from Rockview over a
teletype network covering nine
states.
Then another call was received
from the professor and the gener
al alarm was cancelled. Another
absent-minded professor story
was in the making as the faculty
member sheepishly admitted that
he had just remembered having
loaned the car to someone.
It wasn’t reported whether the
professor remembered who had
borrowed the car.

On Lake Plan
§ee Editorial on page 2
Facts are being collected on St
proposed artificial lake which
would be located two miles
northeast of State College, ac
cording to Richard Shultz, chair
man of the recreational lake pro
ject committee of the Liberal
Arts Student Council.
“Aerial photographs have been
taken, average rainfall is being
determined and geological tests
taken of the area considered for
the lake,” Shultz said.
Site of the proposed lake,
which would provide recreational
facilities for students and towns
people, is at the junction of
Cedar Run and Slab Cabin Creek,
almost at the edge of the Col
lege hog farm, in the direction
of Bellefonte. About two-thirds
of a square mile would be in
undated, according to Shultz.
Part of the land in question
is owned by the College and part
b y individuals, Shultz said.
“Photographs are being taken to
determine how much land would
have to be purchased for the lake,
a geological survey has shown
that the area will hold water,
and steps are being taken to draw
up a cost estimate of building
a dam,” he said.

Okays Pay Bill
WASHINGTON—The House
Armed Services Committee has
approved a military pay bill that
would end bonuses for service at
sea and in foreign countries, dis
continue family allowances for
military men, and replace the
present practice of boosting pay
by five per cent for each three
years of service. Instead there
would be automatic pay increases
at each level with a definite
maximum for each grade.
The bill also would provide
pay raises, skipping only the
lowest enlisted grade. Men at the
second lowest level would gain
two dollars a month and the
boosts would increase up the
scale with generals and admirals
getting about a fifty per cent
itals.

Except for the frequent wild
ness of Pitt twirler Rudy Hudec,
yesterday’s game displayed signs
of being a pitchers’ battle. The
Nittanies could muster only five
hits off the slow curve slants of
the Panther righthander, but the
eight walks, a balk and a wild
pitch that he gave up aided the
Blue and White in chalking up
five runs.
Two Runs
Owen Dougherty and Bill On

men in the second inning on one
hit, Hen Albright’s ringing single
over short. When Lewis bobbled
the ball momentarily in left field,
Ondick followed Dougherty
across home plate.
Dick Wertz tallied for the win

a hit. He walked, went around to
third on Dougherty’s roller to

threw wild past third.
In the seventh inning, Joe

scored when Ford threw into the
