Trainer, super visor of lands constructipn, said yesterday. Trainer presented the plan to the Agriculture Student Council Tuesday night saying construction could begin within two months. The council approved the plan. The proposed lot would be con structed along Beaver Field be tween Curtin road and Park ave nue and would necessitate the re moval of 79 trees along the fringe of Hort Woods, Trainer said. How ever, the Forestry department has inspected the trees in that area, he said, and has classified only 13 of the trees “good risks.” The remaining trees would have to be removed sometime in the future anyway. Trainer continued, be cause they are in poor condition or diseased, Long-Range Plan The new parking plan, revised from a previous plan to allow for future developments, would help alleviate the parking problem ,on campus. Trainer said only stu dent, staff, and faculty cars would be allowed to use the area. He said visitors would be permitted to use the lot during football games. Trainer, who is head of the Col lege Hort Woods committee, said the long-range development plan for the woods will include plant ing new undergrowth in the area and elimination of diseased trees. The new management program would be handled by the Forestry department. The. long-range plans would also provide for picnic areas and limited landscaping to aid in beau tification of the woods, Trainer added. He said the area around the parking lot would be land-, scaped and trees would be plant ed about the area. Musi Be Presented Under Trainer’s plan, as out lined to the Agriculture Student Council, construction might be completed by summer vacation. The new project would include a macadam road from Curtin road to Park avenue, but the lot would consist temporarily of cinders.

PRICE FIVE CENTS KAPsi's House Is Unavailable Members of Kappa Alpha Psi, the newest fraternity at Penn State, discovered this week that the house which they intended to rent for the fraternity is not available. Members of the fraternity had planned to rent a house on W.

Kappa Alpha Psi will seek recognition from the national organization, which was founded at Indiana University in 1911, in April of this year. The national group at present has 67 chapters. The local fraternity has nine members, with Barton Fields, a junior in science, as president. 112th Squadron Departure Seen Indications are that the 112th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron of State College will leave for Grenier Air Force base, Manchester, N.H., by the end of the week.
