(continued on page eight) Amendment To Charter In Court A proposed amendment to the College charter which would equalize representation of agri cultural and industrial men on the Board of Trustees will be dis cussed at a hearing before Judge Ivan Walker at a session of Centre County court tomorrow in Bellefonte. The charter, as it stands now, requires 32 members on the board, twelve of which are chosen from agriculture and industry. The new plan would limit repre sentation to six members each. Representation of the two fac tions has been nearly equal in the past, but there have been times when one or the other group controlled the membership. The amendment was approved by a 13 to 9 vote at a trustees meeting Jan. 20. The petition to Harrisburg for the change was also approved by the Council of Education. In opposition to the amendment is the State Council of Farm Or aanizations, which filed excep tions on the grounds that it would ham agricultAire. PRICE FIVE CENTS
