All sent up a cry for an airport, but that's as far as the groups got. At present, the only direct way of reaching the town is by car. The nearest airport is at Tyrone, while the trains leave pzlssengers at Lewistown—the remaining 30 miles to be travelled by bus. The council's action cleared the way for the borough solicitor to start the paperwork for the Au thority. dents ed In rash 3 St Inju Car Three Uni ersity students were injured, one .eriously, when a car in which t ey were r i din g, swerved into a ditch, overturned, and threw the trio clear Sunday night near Titusville. A fourth student, jammed in the car, escaped uninjured. Lynne Oberman, freshman in arts and letters from Titusville, suffered ak minor fractured skull and facial bruises. Bernard Mag dovitz, freshman in business ad ministration from Titusville, and owner of the car, was treated at Titusville Hospital for a bruised shoulder, while Susan Chapman, freshman in education from New York City was x-rayed for a pos sible fractured thumb. —The students were taken to the hospital by friends. The hospital immediately re leased Martin Scherr, freshman in chemical engineering from Yard ley, who was driving the car. Scherr was the only student who was not thrown from the car. According to Scherr, the group had left Tionsta for Titus Ville, and were traveling on route 227. The road was slippery because of early evening dew, S c herr said, and the car skidded off the road as he drove around an un familiar curve. After running in to the ditch, it rolled over once, and landed right side up, he add ed. Scherr, Miss C h a p m a n, and Magdovitz have been released from the hospital. Miss Oberman was admitted. She is scheduled to lea v e in approximately . two weeks. Dry Weather Seen Today It's going to be a little cooler, than yesterday, but not cold enough to get out the win t er clothing as yet.

Freed, Raymond and Brown, Inc. vice president, which urged a "re newed effort to obtain a modern, all-weather, 24-hour-a=day air- I port." Freed suggested the Authority would be charged with establish ing and operating an airpert for State College and Bellefonte. The funds, he said, would probably be available from both state and federal sources for the improve ment of an airport, once it is. es tablished. University Included While speaking of funds, Freed included the University in future plans for the airport. It is pos sible, he said, that the University might be in a position to offer "a variety of, assists." He did not say whether he thought the assistance should be financial. In return, Freed said, the Uni versity could make use of the airport's facilities in its aeronau tical engineering, ag r i cultural and other curricula, in addition to providing a location for its Re serve Officers Training Corps training. "The growth of the University, the expansion of the community with its many modern industries. and the continued advances made by aviation," Freed said, "indi cate a great need for a new air port at a lqcation which would not endanger the growing resi dential sections of the com munity." 23 Violators Fined By Traffic Court Traffic Court assessed a total of $73 in fines Monday night.
