PAGE TWO Completion of Reactor Is Scheduled for 1954 The College's nuclear reactor will be completed sometime in the summer of 1954 according to present plans, William M. Breazeale, director of the construction of the reactor, has said. The College is doing all the design work except that already done at the Oak Ridge national laboratories, he said. The College will design the building and modi fications for the reactor. About 75 per cent of the reactor design is by Oak Ridge. The re mainder is being done at the College. Modifications to the Oak Ridge design are in the interest of saving College money. The en tire cost, except for the active uranium for the reactor, will be covered by the pollege. The ur anium will be given the College on loan from the Atomic Energy Commission. The reactor being planned by the College will have the same power level as the reactor at the Oak Ridge laboratories. The build ing and the pool will be a little smaller. 'Food Tasters' For Pollock Area Sought The question of whether out standing council members should receive an award, and the possi bility of getting "food staters" were discussed last night at a meeting of the Pollock Council. A motion was passed calling for an investigation into the prices' of the proposed. awards. The award would be either a sheepskin or a key. John Quigley was appointed to find out prices. Some members thought that by voting themselves awards the y were infringing upon the right of the students by spending student money without their consent. A motion suggesting that dorm presidents poll residents in their dorms on the problem was de feated. Quigley requested that all coun cil members try to obtain "food tasters" from their living unit. The job of these men would be to taste new dishes and give their opinions on them before they are placed on the menu, he said. PreSident pro tempore of the Barons, Alan Reeve, told the council that $22.33 was spent on the lounge parties held last week.

The pro portion for the rest of the nation is one out of every three men. The survey of state selective service directors also showed: 1. Forty-one states and the Dis trict of Columbia will take 19- year-olds in April with 14 of the states doing so for the first time since World War 11. 2. Thirteen states and the Dis trict of Columbia will 'call 19- year-olds to fill at least 50 per cent of their April draft call, 3. Probably all but two states— Alabama and South Carolina— will be taking 19-year-olds in May. The only state that will take more 19-year-olds than' Pennsyl vania next month is Illinois, which will fill the bulk of a 3254 quota with them. California is third with about 2000 out of 3164. The reason some states are tak ing 19-year-olds and some are not results from the state quota sys tem which is based on the total number it has available for serv ice. Some states have had a larger proportion of 20-year-olds avail able for service than others.

Lion Sculptor Says .'Give He& Time A little age and a little dirt will add thkfinishing touch , to Penn State's latest bit of art qiic;if`einiz. , *iiiit46, - designer of the Nittany Lion statue, confided yesterday. Warneke visited - campus yesterday to inspect the completed product, which is also his deggn. The art .work consists of the lion heads which decorate the twin pylons forming the newly. erected gateway to the campus from N. Atherton street on Pollock road. The perfect picture of a sculptor is Warneke with his swept back mass of gray hair, horn-rimmed glasses ohkling bright blue eyes, and shy smile. ' The heads have just been set in, the seams are still evident, and the pylons have not yet become an integrated whole Warneke said, revealing his slight accent. Time and age will give them a more pleasing, antique look. "I'm afraid the stUdents -might be disappointed with the heads, expecting them to be replicas of the lion statue," the sculptor wor ried. -He explained that the -heads are an adaptation of the granite shrine, with a square block as a basis and the, design formed in flat planes. The addition of "The Lineman," under consideration as the senior class gift, would be a feather. in Penn State's hat, Warneke added. Penn State's reputation has been increased by the Nittany Lion statue and the Henry Varnum Poor mural in Old Main, he said, and replicas and words about both are to be seen and heard all over the country. Another piece of art would add even more, the sculp tor believes. A member of the faculty at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., Warneke -is in charge of the Corcoran Museum of Art in the nation's capitol and is designing pieces of art work for the National Cathedral being built there. Returning to the campus for the first time in ten years; War neke was struck - by the increase in enrollment and- numb er: of buildings. • - • `Last night, going back to -the Nittany Lion Inn in the rain, I tried-to cut across campus as was my old habit," the artist said., "but I became lost in the maze of new . structures."
