FOR A BETTER PENN STATE

"ALL IN FAVOR of Penn holiday say 'aye';' says Bahrenburg at
All-University Cabinet last night.
Flyboy Meets
'Dreamboat'
In Mac Hall
The freshman flyboy, in his
"search for romance," finally met
his "dreamboat" last night.
The flyboy, Jerome McGinnes,
journalism major from Clearfield,
escorted by five "encouragers"
equipped with camera and flash
bulbs, boldly climbed the front
steps of Mac Allister Hall to meet
his idol.
McGinnes learned from a
friend that her name was
Georgeann Roll, before he had
a chance to fulfill the promise
made to Collegian Wednesday
night, when he said, 'Ti! give
her till Friday to show up, or
I'll go up there again."
But when he found her sitting
in the Mac Hall lounge waiting
for another date to arrive, most
of his boldness disappeared and
all he did was blush, fumble with
his dink, and stammer: "I'm sorry
for all this commotion."
A few minutes later after
learning that Miss Roll was
from Arlington. Va.. McGinnes
regained his courage and shout
ed: "Gee, I know lots of people
in Arlington."
Our hero soon learned that Miss
Roll has several other admirers
on campus for she is already
dated this weekend.
But the freshman flyboy was
persistent and come next week

awaited date.

Centers Getting
More Facilities

A new building has just been
completed at the York center.
while another building is under
construction at McKeesport cen
ter and one is planned for Al
toona.
The plans for the York and Mc-
Keesport Centers are similar, both
being eight room, tw•o story, red
brick buildings costing approxi
roately $150,000.
Completed for Classes
York Center was completed at
the beginning of September and
ready for classes this semester.
Like the McKeesport Center, it
has a total of eight class rooms
and laboratories, library, lounge,
offices, kitchen-cafeteria, dispen
sary, and outdoor play area. The
building accommodates 170 stu
dents, all of whom are enrolled
in the associate degree program.
The present enrollment is 140.
McKeesport Center is still being
erected, and is expected to be un
der roof soon. Like York, it is
open only to students enrolled in
the associate degree, program. It
has an enrollment of 135.
Contributions Made
A combination of contributions
from the people, merchants, and
companies of Altoona and a gift
of $150,000 from the University
have enabled the advisory board
to Altoona Center to raise its goal
of one half million dollars.
Construction plans include a

To Decide
A half-holiday for the week
end of the Rmnsylvania-Penn
State football game, Oct. 29,
was unarlmously approved by
All-University Cabinet last
The recommendation will now
co to the Council of Administra
tion.
If the holiday is approved,
classes would be canceled the
morning of Oct. 29, and made up
at a later date in the semester.
Robert Bahrenburg. All-Univer
sity president, told Cabinet the
make-up classes would probably
be slated for the Wednesday af
ternoon prior to the Thanksgiving
holiday.
The holiday recess would then
begin at 5 p.m". Nov. 21.
The vote preceded a Cabinet
discussion establishing a tentative
agenda for Sept. 20 to Dec. 20.
In an effort to set a definite plan
for coming discussions, the group
approved the following schedule:
Sept. 27 through Oct. 11, encamp
ment workshops; Nov. 1, final
!examinations and cut policy for
'eighth semester seniors; Nov. 8,
'Cabinet Constitution; Nov. 15,
,open: Nov. 29, comoensations:
Dec. 6, evaluation of what has
(been done to date; Dec. 13 and 20,
open.
The first encampment dis
cussion slated to go before
Cabinet next week will deal
with student government, and
how to make it more effective.
Other possible topics discussed
by Cabinet were better seating
for students in Recreation Hall:
progress reports on the project
to convert Beaver Dam into a
play-swimming area: and pre
registration for 7th and Eth se
mester business students.
The seating investigation was
proposed by Richard Schriger,
Liberal Arts Student Council
President, because, as Schriger
said, "It seems as though towns
people are given seats in Recrea
tion Hall before some of the stu
dents can be seated. The field
house seats 6300. and during one
sporting event last year, many
students were turned away from
the doors, after some townspeople
had been seated.
