to support the newspaper, appro
priated a fund of $2O for the two
issues. Waltemeyer said it would
be mimeographed and consist of
‘probably’ eight pages.

would stress intramural sports
participation of the two areas
more thoroughly than was possi
ble by The Daily Collegian.
Other news will consist of dorm
itory social affairs reports such
as dances and mixers, human in
terest stories, and discussion of
area problems, he said.
The newspaper will also have
an editorial page with a column
for student opinion, Waltemeyer
continued. He said editorial policy
will be determined -by the two
editors, subject to approval of the
councils.
AIM 'Paper* Failed

years ago failed when a dispute
over editorial policy arose, Walte

edited alternately by an editor
from each area.

Business Administration from
Sayre, Pa., has been chosen Nit
tany editor and will edit the first
edition. Pollock editor, who will
act as associate editor for the first
addition and editor of the second,
is Ronald Leik, senior in journal

cil president, Charles Welsh, Har
