Interplayers Open
In New Theatre
This year, college and univer
sity students will have an oppor
tunity to see the Interplayers, ex
perimental theatre group, in their
own new, air conditioned theatre

The Interplayers’ productions
are said to be of special interest
to students since the group con
centrates on piays which do not
run on Broadway or in the “run
of-the-mill little theatre houses.’’
“Within the Gates,” “The Infern
al Machine,” and “The Dog Be
neath the Skin” are among last
season’s productions.
One of the group chief aims
now is to reduce the price of ad
mission even lower than thus far
possible "in order to put their
plays within the reach of all stu
dents.

Air Stop OK
If Field Good
Robert M. Love, president of
All American Airways, an
nounced today from Washington,
D. C., that State College will
have- its airline stop next month
if the necessary improvements to
the field are completed.
This announcement, following
one last week to the same ef
fect by Halsey R. Bazley, vice
president of All American, as
sures a stop at the State College
Air Depot on the airline’s Pitts
burgh-New York route.
However, improvements to the
field, including lengthening of
the runway and burial of high
tension wires to meet CAA re
quirements, must be completed
by June 9 or 13. Work on extend
ing the runway was started on
Monday and all improvements
are expected to be completed
within three weeks.
The airport situation became
sornewhat cloudy on Monday
when a representative of the
Black Moshannon Airport ap
peared before State College coun
cil and asserted flatly that the
Air Depot would not be used. It
became even blacker when a
Philipsburg representative stated
on higher authority that the Al
bert Airport in Clearfield County
had been selected.
However Love’s announcement
cleared this up when he stated
that the Albert site was only
temporary in case the State Col

the school of Chemistry and Phy
sics, is chairman of the council’s
airport committee.

Trustees To Waive Tuition
The Interfraternity Council last night voted to set aside a hmd
of $BOO to support a foreign student at the College for the 1949-’5O
school year. The original motion to support the scholar for two years
was defeated. Under the new plan, IFC will fully sponsor the stu
dent, a displaced person, although several organizations are active
in the program, including National Student Association.
The proposal was tabled at the
last meeting of IFC, so that repre
sentatives could consult their re
spective houses. At last night’s
meeting, Ernest Ott and Joel
Bachman, campus NSA commit
teemen, clarified several points of
the original motion. The most
important of these was the an
nouncement that the executive
committee of the Board of Trus
tees has agreed to waive all tui
tion and fees.
The DP student will, in addi
tion, receive resources for books,
room and board, and spending
money.
“These students,’’ said Bach
man, “need only a lew months
