Unsafe Trailer
Removal Starts
Work on dismentling unsafe
trailers in Windcrest has started
and about 50 of the units will
be removed before the opening
of the Fall semester.
Russell E. Clark, director of
housing at the College, explain
ed that an inspection of all trail
ers in the area has revealed a
large number have rotten and
sagging floors, and. damaged
roofs and walls, and are beyond
repair.
Many others are in bad shape,
but it is hoped that by utilizing
parts salvaged from the worst
trailers, these can be continued
in use through the next winter.
Many of the trailers are 10 years
old, having been used for defense
housing before they were brought
to the campus four years ago.
Some of them were hauled from
the East coast to Kansas and
then returned to the East coast.
Clark explained that the work
started this summer would mark
the beginning of the end of the
camp. As trailers become unsafe,
and hazards to the health of the
veterans and their families oc
cupying them, they will be grad
ually removed. He explained that
the removals would be handled
in a systematic manner, but with
due regard for the needs of the
families living there. It is ex
pected that the village, establish
ed in 1945 to fulfill the promises
of the College to veterans who
interrupted their college work to
Serve in the armed forces, will
be disbanded by June, 1951.
Juba Urges Safety
John R. Juba, chief of the State
College police department, asks
summer school students to co
operate in observing parking and
traffic regulations. Many drivers
who are new in the town may
not be well acquainted with these
rules and it is important for both

Actors To Open
'Golden Boy 7
Town and Nine, Centre County’s
summer theater group, will open
the third week of their season on
July 4, with the production of
“Golden Boy” by Clifford Odets.
Directed by Portman Paget, the
play stars James Ambandos as
Golden Boy Joe Bonaparte, whose
struggle between the artistic and
materialistic elements of his soul
is the central theme of the work.
Concerned with prizefighting,
the play features Francine Toll as
Lorna Moone, the girl friend of
Joe’s manager and the girl with
whom he falls in love; Eddie Mc-
Coy as Mr. Bonaparte, Joe’s
father; Jane Stauss as Anna, Joe’s
sister; Dick Frontman as Fuselli,
a gangster interested in cutting in
as Joe shows promise as a fighter;
Walt Eckley as Tom Moody, Joe’s
manager; and Frank Fatsie as
Tokio, Moody’s trainer. The ele
ment of struggle in the play re
flects Odets’s idea that life is all
a kind of fight.
This play was originally pro
duced by the Group Theater in
New York, an experimental or
ganization which has produced
such actors as John Garfield. This
is the first time the play has been
given in arena production. Town
and Nine will stage it with a
I functional set and special light
en g effects.
I Reservations are now being ac
cepted, and may be obtained by
