Special To The Daily Collegian
GETTYSBURG, Pa., Wed.,. Jan:-. 16—(/P) —Penn. State’s cagers
were terrific tonight as they steamrollered over Gettysburg 85-70
for their sixth consecutive victory and eighth of the season. The
Lions ran up their highest total of the year to give them an 8-1 record.
.It was the same old story—big jumping Jesse Arnelle was too
much for the'hapless Bullets. Arnelle, six-five, freshman, bucketed
11 field l goals and six fouls for 28'
points—his high for the season.
He now has a season total of 151
points in nine games.
Coach Henry Bream of the
Bullets' called State “a better
team than LaSalle when they
went to the tournament in Madi
son Square Garden two seasons
ago,” Bream also .claimed Arnelle
was “one of the best players I
have ever seen ”
Herm Sledzik was State’s sec
ond highest scorer with 21 points
on ten field goals and a' foul. Set
shot artist Ronnie Weidehhammer
also hit his season’s high with 18
tallies on eight field goals and
two fouls. The Kutztown frosh
made eight of 11 set, shots.
Gettysburg made the opening
bucket but were never ahead after
that. The Lions led 28-16 at the

Prexy to Detail
Salary Raise
On Monday
President Milton S. Eisenhow
er will explain forthcoming sal
ary increases to College person
nel at two meetings Monday in
Schwab Auditorium.
A letter from the President’s
office to deans, department heads
and administrative officers yes
terday explained that the Presi
dent will outline “actions which
are now possible.”
The President said Tuesday af
ter hearing of the $17,500,000 ap
propriation to the College that
salary increases would be forth
coming for both faculty and non
faculty employees.
The President said that the ap
propriation, the highest in the
College’s history, would be used
also to offset the loss of federal
and other revenue and to meet
higher maintenance costs.
The limited seating capacity of
Schwab Auditorium will make
the two meetings necessary, the
letter said.
Resident instruction, research,
and extension faculty were invit
ed to the first meeting at 3:15
p.m. and non-faculty personnel to
the second meeting at 4:15 p.m.
in the second quarter and pulled
to within three points, 47-44, but
Arnelle bucketed two points to
move the Lions’ halftime lead to
49-44.
Arnelle controlled both back
boards during the game, and the
largest crowd of Gettysburg’s sea
son thrilled to his excellent per
formance.
George Hare scored 20 points
for the Bullets, while teammate
Warren Watson was runnerup
with 12.

Automobile Lot
May Be Built
In Hort Woods
A proposed 181 car parking lot that would consume one sixth of
Hort Woods has been designed as the first step in a long-range plan
that would make the woods a natural park, Walter W. 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.
Before the plan may be put
into construction stages, Trainer
said, it must be presented to Pres
ident Milton S. Eisenhpwer and

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.
College avenue, but the owner of
the house told them Monday that
because of Office of Price Stabili
zation rent price limitations they
could not rent the house.
The owner said that an OPS
rule limits the rental price to .a
fraternity of a house with less
than 25 rooms, The W. College
avenue house has less than that
number.
The owner of the house now
plans to rent it to individual
students on a room-rent basis.
McKinley Lardlaw, a Kappa Al
pha Psi member, said that the
fraternity will continue to look
for a house.
Kappa Alpha Psi was granted
its local charter by the Senate
committee on student welfare in
May 1951 and was accepted into
the Interfraternity Council last
November. 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.
