The opening of the gymnasium
fo r coeducational recreation is
part of a long-range recreation
plan developed by the school and
its new dean, Ernest B. McCoy.
The long-range plan includes the
expansion of Nittany-Pollock rec
reation facilities, the improvement
of recreation areas around the
Rec Hall area, and the holding of
free dances after basketball games
and other Saturday night events
in Rec Hall.
The plans for post-game dances
call for possible hiring of bands
and use of records. McCoy said
these dances should give students
the chance to use the' time be
tween games and the time women
must return to the dorms more
advantageously. Frequently this
hour or _so: does. not allow time
for students to go to fraternities
or recreation areas after the game.
Flash Section
Moved to NF
The football game flashcard
section, formerly located in the
EH section in the center of the
senior seats at Beaver Field, will
be moved to section NF in the
freshman section for today's game,
Alan McChesney, head cheer
-lead e r, has announced. This
change is on an experimental basis
to allow more of the student body
to see the designs worked out by
the flashcards.
Upperclassmen who have spe
cial AA books are not requested
to move to the freshman section
but will sit in the regular senior
EH section for today's game.
Freshmen may sit in the NF

Faculty Donors
The drive' for faculty and administration members' contributions
to the Campus Chest will start Monday, according to A. H. Imhof,
faculty solicitations chairman.
Termination of the drive is scheduled for Saturday. .
Contributions from the faculty will be used to support two of
the chest's recipients, the Penn State Christian Association and the
World Student Service Fund. The
PSCA receives 46 per cent of the
student contributions, an d the
WSSF receives 13 per cent. How
ever, Imhof explained that since
there will be only two recipients
of faculty donations, the contribu
tions will be divided proportion
ately. This will provide the PSCA
with 78 per cent and the WSSF
with 22 per cent.
He said that if a faculty con
tributor so wished, he could spe
cify one of the groups as the sole
recipient of the donation. If a
faculty contributor gives $2.50 or
more to the PSCA, he will re
ceive - a membership - card which
