Completion of a new library wing (pictured above) is expected by that time. The new two-floor addition, which will house between 350 and 400 thousand volumes in six stack levels, will be constructed to the rear of the present building and will measure 219' x 75'. It will raise the library capacity to 600 thousand volumes. McComb estimated it would take the College at least 15 years to fill the new wing with books. Reading Rooms Subject reading rooms will be increased in number to make more books available on open shelves to the students. Special rooms are planned for education, social science, psychology, lan guage, and literature. A "special collection" room will be provid ed for the rarer books and other special items, McComb said. Audio-visual aids for languages will also be included, and long range plans call for the'inclusion of musical recordings. Additional screening rooms for movies will be constructed in the basement. Study Rooms McComb expressed hopes to develop a general informal read ing room and study area for stu dents and said 160 private study rooms for faculty and graduate study are to be included in the stack rooms on five of the six stack levels. "The library represents a basic need of the College," McComb Here's Cherry-Vanilla Ice Cream as only Breyers makes it!

At the same time, W. N. Leon ard, chairman of the State College Commerce club's aviation com mittee, reported the work of his group and analyzed the airport situation at a meeting of the Fac ulty club Monday afternoon. The State College air depot serving the. Centre county area has been closed since the first week in Januky. At that time, All-American airways, the only line operating from th e depot, closed its offices following the granting of its application for sus pension of services by the civil Aeronautics administration. The airline charged that the field was in poor -condition. The authority will also man age the airport if and when a new one is built or the present depot is improved. Leonard, professor and head of the College Econ omics department, said a site for the new air facilities would have to be found and acquired. He added that the field would have to have a landing strip of 4000 feet, a hard-surface runway, and lights for night flying. Fifty per cent of the money needed for acquisition of land for a new field would be forthcoming from the federal government under present laws, Leonard said. Improvement of the present de pot could also be financed by state and federal money under exist ing laws, according to Leonard. He said the state could provide 25 per cent , and the federal gov ernment 50 per cent. Seake e Z , leek " /11140-s) sc r , \)-) ;;~a :..:~~.. ICE CREAM
