PAGE TWO 13 Groups OK $2 La Vie Fee Seven school student councils and six other student government groups had approved the $2 LaVie assessment for freshmen as of noon yesterday. The fee proposal was presented by -Douglas Schoerke, editor of LaVie, at the last All-College Cabinet meeting. The $2 assessment, if approved by cabinet and the Board of Trustees, will go into effect beginning February. At present, fresh men are not assessed for the year book. The Mineral Industries Student Council is the only council that had not voted on the issue as of yesterday. Included in the student govern ment groups that have approved the freshman fee increase are the ■ Women’s Student Government As sociation, Women’s Recreation As sociation, Leonides, Fanhellenic Council, and the Association of Independent Men. - Proposal Amended The freshman, sophomore, and junior classes and the Nittany, Town, and Interfraternity coun cils have not yet voted on the proposal. The senior class, in approving the proposal, amended it to read that seniors for the next three years will pay an extra $2 when picking up their LaVies. This was the only group that did not ap proye Schoerke’s original pro pcpsal. a ‘The senior amendment, if ap proved, will do away with the provisions of the original proposal whereby present sophomores, jun iors, and seniors would not have been assessed for the amount they were not required to pay while freshmen. At present, sophomores, juniors, and seniors pay a $2 per semester LaVie fee, making the cost of the yearbook $l2. The present pro posal would eventually hike the price of the book to $l6, Second Vote McCoy Plan Is Rejected By Ed Council The McCoy plan to allot 300 seats for faculty, alumni, and townspeople in Recreation Hall received another jolt last night when the Education Student Council voted it down by a wide margin. At least four other stu dent groups have turned down the proposal so far. Another plan sponsored by Mc- Coy, that of dividing AA book holders into two groups, each seeing half of the Rec Hall ath letic events, was turned down unanimously by the Ed Council. It was felt if the plan went into effect, students would have to be given a partial refund on their AA books. ' The group announced that freshman self-nominations for the Education Student Council will be open until Friday. Those interested should leave theit name, semester, rank in high school, and high school activities in 102 Burrowes, according to Marian Whiteley, president. The council also discussed the proposed senior women’s hat so ciety. It decided to allow Miss Whiteley to vote for the group when the matter comes up be fore All-College Cabinet. The council tentatively favors the measure, Miss Whiteley said. Oil Conference Opens Today Better methods for locating and producing oil will be discussed at the 16th annual Conference on Petroleum Production, to be held at the College today through Fri day. More than 150 research and oil production men from all sections of the country are expected to at tend the conference. Dr. John C. Calhoun, professor and chief of the division of pe troleum and natural gas engin eering, reports many of the 13 technical papers to be presented at the session will explain why oil is held in the earth and how carbon dioxide and electricity are used to obtain it. College Enrollment Approaches 13,000 Total enrollment at the College and its centers reached 12,815 stu dents this fall with 9600 men and 3215 women registering. Seven off-campus centers regis tered 1276 students, and the re maining 11,539 were enrolled on campus. The total enrollment, which in cludes 11,161 undergraduates, 1409 graduate students, and 245 special students, is 224 higher than last year’s figure. Included in the total is the largest freshman class since 1949 with 3496 students. Ed Group to Meet Phi Delta Kappa, men’s schol astic education honorary, will meet at 7:30 tonight in Simmons Hall lounge. Tickets Available For IFC Banquet Tickets for the Interfrater nity Council Workshop banquet Saturday at the Nittany Lion Inn are still on sale at the Stu dent Union desk'in Old Main at $3.25 each. Fraternities that have al ready made reservations must get their tickets before 5 p.m. Friday. Houses that have al ready made reservations will be charged for tickets not picked up, Robert Frame, IFC banquet chairman, said. In recommending the fee in crease, Schoerke asserted that production of a LaVie with the same standards of last year’s will result in over a $4400 deficit if more funds are not obtained. The proposal, which received approval on the first vote taken at the last cabinet meeting, will be voted upon for the second time when cabinet meets tomorrow. If the proposal passes, it will then go to the Board of Trustees in the form of a recommendation. Any proposal involving more than $lOO must be approved at -two successive cabinet meetings. A change in fees must be ap proved at two successive meet ings, and then it is presented to the trustees.

Instructor to assistant professor: George (Continued from page two) Nittqny Lion Shrine Given by '4O Class The Nittany Lion shrine hasnH always been here for visitors to admire and football rivals to paint. Neither has Penn State always had an athletic symbol. The story of how they came about makes an interesting page in Penn State history. The original purpose of the shrine was not to honor the lion, for Penn State didn’t have a mascot. In 1939 the College had no central place for sports rallies, and dur ing the football season of that year, students held private ral lies, There were bonfires and pep rallies on campus practically ev ery night. Rioting and destruction soared high, resulting in a meet ing between President Hetzel and a group of students. It was decided at the meeting that the students must have a place, preferably an athletic mon ument, for a common rallying spot for “sports hysteria.” The Class of 1940 suggested a statue of a proud, majestic ani mal suitable to represent all fu ture Penn State athletic teams as a mascot hence, the Nittany Lion. Thus the lion became the sym bol of Penn State, but the idea didn’t originate with the Class of 1940. In 1904 freshman H. D. “Joe” Mason was at Princeton with the baseball team when he saw a statue of a 'bengal tiger, Prince ton’s famed mascot. It occurred tq Joe that the College, too, should have a mascot, preferably a lion. Three years later the idea was still with him. He wrote a series of editorials about it. In one he said, “Every college the world ov er of any consequence has a col lege emblem, except Penn State. Why should not State, the best of all colleges, get the lion, the best of all animals, for its emblem?” It was not until 33 years later that the College came around to Joe’s viewpoint and adopted the lion as an official mascot. When the shrine was dedicated in October 1942, Joe was there to see his dream become a reality.

President David Fleming ex pressed the council’s feeling that the $4 per. year raise would be in excess of the amount necessary. With the LaVie needing only $4500 to cover its cost, they felt the proposal should be modified to $2 per year, payable on one semester or at the rate of $1 per semester. Council members also voted against the $2OO gift per year to the chess team and retabled the request by Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the School of Physical Educa tion and Athletics, for 300 re served seats at all indoor sport in o' events. Fleming announced that fresh men will elect two members to the council on Monday. The elec tions will be held in MI Dean Edward _ Steidle’s , lecture class from a list of nominees now be ing gathered. John Ruffner, chairman of the annual Mineral Industries ban quet to be held in the spring, reported that George Dieke will act as master of ceremonies at the event. Dieke is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Col lege and is chairman of the board of the Mine Safety Appliance Co. of Pittsburgh. R £ E
