VMf to Select Finalists Fur Samples Obtained for Lion Suit samples to be used in the new Lion suit have been received by Harold R. Gilbert, graduate manager of athletics. The Lion’s new outfit will be ordered as soon as the fur is se lected, arid delivery can be ex pected within 60 days. Chenko Studio, New York, will design the $5OO suit, Gilbert said. The present two-year-old suit was purchased for $4OO. Rising costs of material and labor are re sponsible' for the increased price of the suit, Gilbert said. Contributions for. the suit amounting to $599.26 were col lected this fall in a fund drive initiated - by . Alex. Gregalj ; who portrayed the- Lion during the football season. All-College Cabinet passed a proposal in October establishing a permanent fund from which money for a new suit may be taken whenever needed. Gilbert said Chenko guaran teed that the new suit will be a stronger and better job than the present one. In an effort to re produce a typical Nittany Lion, Chenko read about mountain lions in 'the New York Library and visited the lions’ cages in a New York zoo. - Chenko, who also has a studio in Hollywood, is the costume de signer for Warner Brothers and Paramount movie studios, Radio City Music Hall, Billy Rose, Zieg feld, Sonja Henie, the Ice Follies, and radio and television shows.

'Amphitryon Freud satirized in the folklore of ancient Greece ran rampant last night when the Players’ production of “Amphitryon 38” opened a weekend run in Schwab Auditorium. S. N. Behrman has borrowed loosely from Jean Giraudoux to delve into the love life of the gods and come up with , a theatrical prank rich in rhetorical elegance, but thin in plot. The old bedroom comedy embellished in classical dress spreads rather thin through three acts. As is typical in high comedy, Behrman’s masquerade is not to be taken seriously and lacks the feeling of a third dimension. There is no verisimilitude in which the audience can lose it self, no great conflict to stir the emotions. When the curtain falls the audience is left with the im pact of having leafed through a picture book in which the con text is colorful, entertaining, and even amusing, but after all only paper. The play approaches farce in exploiting the dubious shenani gans of Jupiter, master of the gods, who desires the beautiful Alkmena and assumes the mortal (Continued on page eight) films for club meetings are pro vided by the association.

DONLEY First approval of a 20-cent per-semester fee to support a campus radio station was given by All-College Cabinet last night. Final approval must wait upon the next cab inet meeting, scheduled f or Feb. 5. The 20-eent fee was the result of an amendment to a motion by All-College vice president James Plyler asking for 15 cents per. semester to pay the student half of the support of the station. David Pellnitz, chairman of the Board of Publications, suggested the additional 5 cents. This additional money may be used for expansion of radio facilities in fraternities and larger town housing units. These units would not have been reached except by fre quent modulation signals under the plans designed on a budget based on a 15-cent fee. The College has already indi cated that it would match the 15-cent fee, which would raise $3OOO a year, with $3OOO from its funds. It is not yet known if the administration will now sup ply $4OOO, the amount which will be supplied by the students if cabinet gives a second approval to last night’s motion. Pellnitz presented a. motion to 'table a vote on the fee until the next cabinet meting. The tabling motion was defeated with only •seven votes in its favor. Before voting on the amount to be assessed for the station. Cabinet gave unanimous ap proval of a constitution for •the radio station, after it was read by Emery Richardson, chair man of cabinet's radio commit tee. Richardson also presented a list of the proposed expenses of the station. David R. Mackey, professor Of speech and one of the’ persons who has worked on the station plans, was present at the meet ing to answer questions about the station presented by the mem bers of cabinet. He explained, in as much as possible, where the $6OOO that was asked for operat ing expenses would go. The approval notice of cabinet will be presented to the office of President Milton S. Eisen hower, where it can be used in consideration for the administra tive portion of the funds to be added to the amount voted by Cabinet.
