Research Lab,
Highway Plans
Plans to move the State High
ways department district office
and to combine.it with a research
laboratory at the College have
been dropped by Gov. John S.
Fine and the Highways depart
ment.
Last, summer, Governor Fine
decided the district office would
remain in Clearfield. It was re
ported recently, however, that he
and E. L. Schmidt, secretary of
highways, have been reconsider
ing the original plan of moving
the office to. the College..
According to Schmidt, the de
cision not to move the office was
"principally a matter of econom
ics." 'No reason was- given for
abandoning plans for the research
laboratory.
Because of the "economy and
highway s afet y" measures in
volved, a large group headed by
the State College Area Chamber
of Commerce urged Governor
Fine to go. through with the plan.

Senate
Health
The College Senate committee on rules will present for Senate
approval April 9 a recommendation which would allow the director
of College Health Service to take
sary" during crowded conditions
Approval of the recommendat
Glenn, 'director of the service, w.
to students who are confined to
their.beds- but not accepted-in the
Infirmary.
The committee's recommenda
tion, however, will not entail any
change in rule K-6, which allows
the College physician to grant ex
cuses if the student involved was
in the Infirmary under the Col
lege's care. The rule is considered
adequate for •normal conditions,
the committee said, and the new
recommendation will handle cases
under unusual conditions when
the Infirmary is overcrowded.
The committee on student af
fairs recommended to the com
mittee on rules that some action
be taken on - the excuse problem.
The committee on rules will pre
sent the proposal to the Senate in
this form:
"It recommends, 'however, when
the Infirmary is filled to capacity,
the director of College Health
Service issue statements' of fact
prepared by the committee on stu
dent affairs or take whatever ac
tion is deemed necessary while the
emergency exists."
Lady Astor Sad,
Can't Go to Jail
She said it and she's glad!
Lady Nancy Astor—Who's been
hailed and assailed since 'she re
marked "I wish it were poison"
about a drink Sen.. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy was sipping at a party—
won't go to jail after all.
A Federal prosecutor last week
ruled that Lady Astor committed
"no criminal offense" when she
expressed her sentiments.
' This' didn't particularly please
the 73 year old viscountess. She
had volunteered to spend a year
in jail for her quip, if she could
take McCarthy with her. She said
it would be worth jailing-4n sep
arate cells, of course—if she could
get. the Wisconsin Republican out
of the way and "let the President
do his work."
