Bequests Committee Is Established An advisory committee on be quests to encourage alumni and friends of the University to make grants to the University has been established by the Penn State Foundation. William Selig, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors, named the members of the newly established committee Sunday. Established in 1952, the Penn State Foundation’s program was designed to encourage contribu tions from alumni and the general public, in order to support pro jects for which appropriated funds and income from fees are not available. In the past, some of the projects which have received support from the foundation’s alumni fund pro grams have included the All-Faith Chapel, the Hetzel Union Build ing, the University Library, and various scholarships. The new committee is headed by D. Alexander Wieland, a Phil adelphia attorney. Other members appointed to the committee include: William C. Decker, president of the Corn ing Glass Co., Corning, N.Y.; John R. Evans, president of the First GREETING CARDS NOTTAWY CARO & GIFT SHOP East College Ave. opposite Atherton Hall erected. Much of the flooring has been completed and some plumb ing fixtures have been installed. Miller said that some rough grading has also been done. L-Shaped Structure When completed, the building will be an L-shaped structure with a 62-by-34-foot main room and an adjoining wing 26 by 41 feet. The main room, of steel frame construction, will house a pool of water 24 feet deep. The reactor itself will be suspended from a moveable bridge into the pool. The pool will serve to cool the reactor and provide a shield from radiation. The reactor must be kept under water at all times, as it will produce gamma rays even when shut down. Office Unit The unit adjoining the main room will be a two-story brick building, which will house office and shop facilities. Irwin and Leighton Co. of Phil adelphia are contractors for the building. Miller said the' ice skating rink will opefi about Nov. 15. The rink is located east of Nittany dormitories 44 near the tennis court area. Construction, of the building which will house a snack, bar, lounge, refrigeration equipment, and storage facilities for the rink, is well underway, Miller said. Foundation Completed The foundation is complete and the structural steel has been erected. Framing of the building’s first floor is nearly finished. Miller said the rink proper is ready for the installation of the freezing- machinery which is ex pected to be installed next week. The actual skating surface of the rink is 100 by 200 feet and will accommodate from 600 to 800 people. G. M. McCrossin, of Bellefonte, is the contractor.

Frings, professor of zoology, and Joseph’ Jumber, graduate assistant, who experi mented with the distress method of driving starlings out of State College and surrounding areas this summer. Three different experiments were tried and proved, that the method worked in keeping star lings out of the area for about seven days.. The experiment was not expected to rid the area of them completely for long periods of time. The results from the second and third experiments are still being studied. They, were to test if the birds can become “resist ant” to the sound if applied un der certain conditions and to. drive the starlings from 11 small roosts in the west end of town using only one sound truck. In Milesburg a test was tried to determine the effect of early morning tests but it proved un successful. Millheim is the only town in the county where the test has been tried to which the birds have not returned. It was cleared August 17-21. Jumber and Earl Hartzfield, eighth semester zoology majot, performed the tests from sound trucks.

The grants were established this year by the Board of Trustees, as a result of gifts to the alumni fund earmarked specifically for'the purpose. The scholarships, known as the Alumni Memorial Scholarships, were awarded to outstanding high school seniors selected' by mem bers of district alumni clubs. Selection of recipients was based mostly on academic ability rather than financial need. Candidates for the awards were screened by district alumni clubs, with the final winners chosen from district winners . by" a campus screening committee. Awarded Annually The amount of each award does not exceed the amount of the in state fees for one year, or ap proximately $225. Each scholar ship was awarded on an annual basis, but the recipient may. re apply and receive a similar award in following years, after a review by the scholarship committee. Ridge Riley, executive secre tary of the Alumni Association said that it is hoped the awards will attract more top students to the' 'University in future years. He added that other schools have similar programs. Recipients of Scholarships Recipients'■ of the scholarships are David Anderson, George Beal, Gerald' Biesecker, Jean Jfartley, Carolyn Johnson, George Koch, Blanche Kurtz, Marlene Marks, Emil Onuschak Jr., Earl - Poust, Ronald Soder, Gretel Soltys, Ro bert Steele, Diane’ Wanner, and Mary Weber.

Cabinet Action Votes Down Service Group A proposed All-University! Cab inet services committee was voted down by cabinet last Thursday night. ' The committee was to have es tablished permanent subcommit tees to take care of such work as campus polls -.and surveys. It was the opinion of cabinet that special, committees should be ap pointed to take care of this work when the need arose, rather than having a permanent committee with no specific jobs,at hand. The action was taken at the same time that cabinet abolished the secretariat and established and approved a secretarial serv ice _ to be assigned to the All- University Secretary-Treasurer. In addition, the National Stu dent Association was set up as a permanent committee,, directly responsible to cabinet. Formerly NSA was a committee under the secretariat. The revisions were suggested in the report of the encampment committee on making student government more effective, pre sented by chairman Otto Hetzel.
