AGE TWO
SU Construction Program
Several Weeks Off Schedule
The Student Union Board heard yesterday the new Student Union Building will be three or
four weeks late in opening.
George L. Donovan, director of the Student Union, said the SU Building, which was to open
this fall on the Sunday after registration, will not open until October.
The ballroom which is planned for the new building will not be large enough to accommodate
students who attend the four large
dances during the school year,
Donovan said. As a result, the
dances must still be held in Rec
reation Hall.
Donovan also urged that stu
dents stay away from the new
Student Union Building since the
contractor is libel for any injuries
which may occur.
The board unanimously voted to
give office space in the SU Build
ing to the following groups: All-
University Cabinet, Interfrater
nity and Panhellenic Councils,
AIM - Leonides - Philotes, Campus
Chest-Spring Week, WSGA, Tri
bunal-Traffic Court, Hat Societies
(men and women), Alpha Phi
Omega, Graduate Student Asso
ciation, and class officers.
\ Fifty steel filing cabinets will
be ordered for the SU Building.
At its meeting - yesterday, the SU
Board voted to give 44 of these
cabinets to student organizations.
The remaining six cabinets will
be kept in reserve for other cam
pus groups.
Donovan will hold a committee
meeting early in May to decide
lupon a calendar for next year. The
committee will be composed of
the Collegian editor, the presi
dents of AIM, Leonides, IFC, Pan
hellenic Council, and the Gradu
ate Student Association. The group
will choose dates for next year's
ocial functions.

HAPPY EASTER I
14 of Lion's Paw to Graduate;
Group Plans initiation of 18
Next: month Penn State will say
goo.dbye to the 14 active members
of Lion's Paw, senior men's so
ciety, and possibly see the initia
tion of 18 of next year's campus
leaders.
Because Lion's Paw is a secret
men's society, little recognition
can be given its members for their
year's activities. However, the or
ganization's history and functions,
as found in the files of the Penn
State Room and as explained by
Lion's Paw members, are an in
teresting campus tradition.
The beginning of Lion's Paw
was not unlike that of similar so
cieties on other campuses. In 1908
five sophomore men felt a need
for an organization of influential
upperclassmen to discuss matters
of importance in the college world.
Walter Furst, Class of 1909, con
ceived the idea of the senior so
ciety.
Five men, three of whom were
fraternity brothers, attended the
first meeting held during their
sophomore year. The next year
weekly or more frequent meetings
were held in a member's room.
The original plans were to keep
the names of the members secret.

Chest X-rays
To Be Given
Students, faculty and staff mem
bers at the University may have
free chest x-rays taken when a
mobile x-ray unit visits the cam
pus April 27, 28, and 29.
The mobile unit will be located
south of the University ' Hospital
on Pollock road and will be in
operation from 8 a.m. to noon and
1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
By its third year, when succeed
ing juniors were chosen, the so
ciety had gained prestige in the
eyes of President Edwin Sparks.
Because of this newly-acquired
prominence, the group decided to
reveal the names of members of
the Class of 1910.
Through its 46 years of develop
ment, Lion's Paw has remained
exclusively a senior men's society.
According to a 1925 edition of
"Old Main Bell," a former campus
publication, "Only those members
of the senior class who have
achieved prominence in college
affairs, who have throughout their
college careers been held in high
regard by the student body and
their class, are eligible for invita
tion." Membership was not to
have exceeded 15.
Lion's Paw now relates maxi
mum membership to the number
of campus leaders deserving rec-

Even Split Ind i cated
On Separation Plan:
A poll of 37 students living in Hamilton Hall, taken recently by
the Daily Collegian, showed opinion to be evenly divided on the
administration's separation plan fin. Hamilton Hall.
Of the 37 men questioned; 16 favored the plan, l6 opposed it,
and five had no opinion. Students who favored the plan felt the
present units were too large to
permit adequate supervision by
counselors. They also felt that if
the sections were smaller, a gre4t
er feeling of unity would develop.
Donald Matlack, eighth semes
ter physics major, gave a typical
opinion in favor of the plan.
Counselors Lack Control
"The present counselors who
must preside over such large areas
have virtually no control what
soever. They are counselors in
name only," he said.
Those' who opposed the plan
felt it would not be worth the
trouble. They felt that even if
the number of men in' each unit
were reduced, no greater unity,
would - result.
Alan Gould, second semester
agronomy major, said separation
would make it inconvenient to
get from place to place in the
dorm. "A person would have to
disturb several sections . ' of the
dorm to get where he 'wanted to
go," he said.
Administration's Plan
The administration's plan for
separation would divide Hamilton
into seven units. This would be
done by building firewalls across
the halls. The plan also provides
that . counselors will be moved
from their present suites into cen
trally located single rooms in each
new unit.
The administration plans to con
vert the present counselor suites
(Continued on page eight)
ognition by the society. Member
ship, in comparison with other
honorary societies, is kept small
to facilitate discussion. Eligibility
for tapping is based on past ser
vice and activities, and future po
tentialities for service .to the Uni
versity.
As explained by a present Lion's
Paw member, the organization is
primarily an idea group, and
while its indiVidual members
might advise officers of campus
organizations, the society itself
does not implement the mechanics
of specific groups.
In 1941 the Lion's Paw Alumni
Association, a separate and dis
tinct group from the active chap
ter, bought Mount Nittany with
I $l7OO, raised exclusively by the
organization. The purchase was
made when woodcutters threat
ened to strip the 517-acre moun
tain of trees for pulpwood.
