Constitution
To Lion Party
For the first time in the history of campus politics, a written
constitution will be presented to Lion party members for approval,
John Stoudt, acting chairman, announced yesterday.
The proposed constitution, written by Alan Maloney and Clair
George, will be read at the party meeting to be held at 7 p.m.
Sunday in 10 Sparks.
The major change in the pre-1
sent party setup will be a cut in
the power of the party chairman.
Many of his actions will be sub
ject
to approval by a new execu
tive committee.
The executive committee will
be made up of the four party offi
cers, and each party class chair
man. They will be voting mem
bers of the steering committee
which is to be made up of all
elected and appointed officers.
All party members may attend
meetings to determine the con
tent of the party platform.
Campus and town students are
to be divided into areas with the
area coordinators forming a link
of communication from students
to the party heads.
According to the proposed con
stitution, steering committee nom ,
inations shall be given no dif
ferent reception than others from
the floor, and a nominator may
not state that his nominee has the
steering committee recommenda
tion.
40 Attend
State Party
Workshop
About 40 students attended five
committee meetings of the State
Party workshop at 7 p.m. yester
day. The majority of the students
—about 25 attended the ward
meeting under the chairmanship
of Ernest Famous.
The publicity committee meet
ing, led by Robert Kritt, dis
cussed the printing of political
campaign materials and suggested
that all posters, handbills, and the
like used by either party—Lion
or State—be prepared through
College facilities.
This practice, the committee as
serted, would eliminate the evil
of\ possible "padding" of party
donations. It would also give both
parties equal assess to printing
facilities and provide a positive
check on expense account spend
ing, the committee suggested.
The distribution committee
handed out notices of the State
Party's clique meeting, which will
be held at 7 p.m. Sunday in 119
Osmond. The membership com
mittee met with the distribution
committee.
Melvin Rubin headed the plat
form committee, which discussed
workshop policy and extended an
invitation to all campus organiza
tions to "constructively work with
our non-partisan platform work
shop."
Thomas Farrell, acting work
shop chairman, d es c r i b e d the
workshop meetings as "w e 1-
attended."
No Site Found
For New ROTC
Rifle Range
A new site for the recently
closed Army ROTC rifle range
will probably not be found be
fore the end of the semester,
Charles K. Hostetter, comptrol
ler, said yesterday.
"I'm afraid nothing will be
possible before the end of the
semester because it has been en
tirely impossible to uncover a
new location," Hostetter said.
The rifle range- was moved
from the Armory to Atherton
Hall last semester, but was
closed because of complaints by
coeds who said the noise inter
fered their studying.
"Nothing has been accomplish
ed since the range was closed,"
Hosteter said. He said the ROTC
still wanted a location for the
range but added, "frankly, we're
stymied."

Only 2 Kittens
Appear to be
Stage-Struck
Apparently the State College
kitten population isn't the least
bit stage-struck, for so far only
one call has come in for the cat
parts in "You Can't Take it With
You," the Players' next Schwab
Auditorium show.
The agent for two ,white Per
sian kittens called Director War
ren S. Smith yesterday and of
fered the services of her clients.
Renee Kluger, properties mana
ger, will see them today and de:'
tide whether they meet the re
quirements.
Because the kittens are five
months old, Smith said that he
was afraid they might be too big
for the role of "paperweights.'
The only requisite for the kittens
is that they be "very young." he
said.
So until the parts are definitely
cast the search for kittenish talent
goes on. Anyone who knows of
two struggling feline actors or
actresses is asked to call Miss
Kluger, 413 Simmons H a 11, or
Smith, College extension 2418.

3 Moves
Suggested
For Airport
The problem of providing suf
ficient air service facilities for the
State College area has been turn
ed over to the State College and
Bellefonte councils and the coun
ty commissioners by. the Airport
Authority. The authority has , been
investigating an offer , for the use
of the Black Moshannon• Airport.
At an author'ity meeting Wed
nesday; three , possible moves' for
the three governing bodies were
outlined.
The possibilities are:
1. Using Black Moshannon• as a
temporary • field until a new one
can be built.
2. Trying to get-the field certi
fied as the county airport.
3. Using state and federal funds
to build a modern airport closer
to a center of population.
Black Moshannon is 27 miles
from State College by road and is
equipped with a federal weather
station valued at $250,000 and
other buildings offered for sale
at $7BOO. A member of the Mo
shannon Airport Corp. offered to
lease. the field to the College for
$1 a year.
James B. Craig, authority vice
president, said in a recent investi
gation report that if no financial
consideration is involved in - im
provement of the State College
field "no other part of the coun
ty should be considered." He ex
plained that at least 90 per cent
of the air traffic originates near
the College.
ti
William Leonard, chairman of
the airport committee of the State
College. area Chamber of Com
merce, said the authority may
have been "misled" when it was
told that state and federal funds
were not available for any other
site except the Air Depot here.
He said that temporary approv
al has been given for several other
sites in this area by government
officials.

sistant Dean of Men Daniel De-
Marino Monday to receive the
