Selection of Airport Site
Presents Local Problem
Should an airport be in the immediate vicinity of the
borough of State College or shouldn't it?
This seemed to be the main consideration of members of
the State College Airport Authority Tuesday night in the
Municipal Building when it held its first official meeting.
WSGA OK's
Combination
Of Booklets
The Women's Student Govern
ment Association last night ap
proved a report presented by Lil
lian Cordero. sophomore in journ
alism from Wayne, that all orien
tation booklets printed by wo
men's organizations be combined
into one.
The booklet will include pic
tures and information about
such groups as Leonides, Wo
men's Recreation As s o ciation,
Panhellenic Council and WSGA.
In previous years each, of these
organizations put out separate
booklets.
Brought Before Groups
The suggestion will be brought
up before all the groups involved
for their approval. If approved,
one member from each organiza
tion will work on the staff so that
all information will be complete.
Printing estimates will run ap
proximately $650 for 1000 book
lets and $750 for 2000 booklets,
according to Miss Cordero. If ap
proved, the single• booklet in the
long run will save money, time
and effort, she said.
Election Chairman Chosen
In other business, a motion was
made to choose Mary Sterbutzel
as WSGA elections chairman for
next semester. The senate ap
proved the motion for the first
time. It has to be approved two
weeks in succession before
passed. It was also -approved to
hold the elections on March 19
and 21.
President Daily Zimmerman in
structed the senators to do re
search on the subject of compen
sations and said a discussion will
be held at the next meeting on
Jan. 9.
Dorms Model
To Be Shown
A scale model of the new wo
men's dormitories will be dis
played in Atherton lounge this
week, according to Katherine
Vyse, chairman of the Women's
Student Government Association
housing committee.
In her regular interview with
Otto E. Mueller, director of hous
ing, Miss Vyse made several rec
ommendations to improve the
dormitories. In most cases. Muel
ler said the recommendations,
such as better lighting in the
rooms and lounges and folding
couches in the sorority suites,
would be incorporated in the new
dormitories.
May Day committee changes
were announced at the meeting
of the House of Representatives.
Shirley Anselmo is now on the
decorations committee, and Anne
Nitrauer was named to the elec
tions committee.
Good Old Days?
The first female students on
campus were forbidden "to talk
or ride with students of the oppo
site sex or to meet such students
in the parlor or any other place
except by special permission of
the president and the precep
tress."

The Authority also discussed
the possibility of an expanded
Black Moshannon Airport and
clarified the type of airport it
will seek.
Following a routine organiza
tional session and review of ac
tivities to the present, Authority
heard Al Zukes, who identified
himself as being affiliated with
Curtiss - Wright Corp. develop
ment at Quehanna, tell that a
strong consideration should be
given the development of the
IBlack Moshannon Airport.
Cautioned Against Speed
Authority Chairman Herbert
R. Imbt said he had received a
telephone call from a Philipsburg
business leader, urging the Au
thority not to move too quickly in
adopting any site but Black Mos
hannon.
Imbt said that the Authority
will investigate all possible sites
and hear all interested parties.
He added that an engineering
survey of Black Moshannon was
in progress.
He said surveys of sites in
State College area had been made
by the former Centre County Air
port Authority.
Irak! Makes Review
A review of the Philipsburg
stand that a modern speed high
way could be built by the state
between Quehanna and State
College by way of Black Moshan
non, was made by Imbt_
"I sort of think that the money
it would take to build such a
highway would build an airport
in State College and an airport
at Quehanna, with some left
over," he said.
Richard C. Feden, chairman of
the transportation committee for
the State College Area Chamber
of Commerce, asked about the
phrase "all-weather" in connec
tion with the proposed airport.
Cost 'Considerable'
"Didn't that mean," asked Fe
don, "radar and other electroni
facilities were needed, pushing
the cost of an airport sky-high?"
Fedon said even if federal and
state funds would pay 75 per cent
of the cost, the remaining 25 per
cent might amount to a consider
able sum.
The Authority expressed a lit
tle bewilderment as to where the
"all-weather" phrase had origi
nated, but explained its present
goal was an airport which would
meet federal minimum require
ments, since federal financing
was necessary.
As its only official action of
the evening, the Authority adopt
ed by-laws, formally elected of
ficers, approved and accepted the
charter as set up by the Common
wealth.
Soph Hospitalized
With Appendicitis
William A. Thompson, sopho
more in the Division of Inter
mediate Registration from Red
Lion, was "doing very well" yes
terday in Centre County Hospital,
Bellefonte, after an emergency
operation for appendicitis Tues
day.
Thompson was taken to the
University Infirmary Tuesday
afternoon complaining of a pain
in his side. He was admitted to
Centre County Hospital about
6 p.m.
A spokesman for the hospital
said Thompson is expected to re
main in the hospital for approxi-
Imately a week.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Late Professor
Honored in Name
Of New Mineral
A new nickel sulfate mineral,'
honessite, has been named in
honor of the late Dr. Arthur P.
Honess, professor of mineralogy
at the University for 26 years
before his death in 1942.
The nickel mineral was dis
covered near Linden, Wis., by
Allen V. Heyl and his colleagues
of the minerals deposit branch of
the U.S. Geological Survey.
lionessite is another form of the
nickel mineral millerite.
The x-ray diffraction pattern
of honessite has broad lines
hitherto unknown in any mineral.
Chemical analysis indicates that
the mineral is essentially a hy
drated form of basic nickel-ferric
sulfate.
Council Votes
$25 Allotment
For Lantern
The Chemistry and Physics Stu
dent Council voted to allot $25
to the Lantern, University liter
ary magazine, at a meeting Tues
day night.
The Council also voted to im
prove the appearance of the
Chemistry and Physics Student
Council Newsletter by having the
issues printed instead of mimeo
graphed.
David Beebee, editor of the
Newsletter, presented editions of
other student council newsletters
as illustrations and discussed the
advantages of improving the ap
pearance of Chem-Phys News
letter.
A summary report was made
on the mixer held last Tuesday
with the College of Education.
Student Council and the Chem
istry and Physics Student Coun
cil.
The Council is also considering
holding an inter-college mixer
between the two colleges, which
would include not only council
members, but all students in the
two schools. An inter-college
mixer of this type, it is believed,
would be the first ever held at
the University.

Tickets for the program will
be on sale after vacation.
Glen Elder, retiring APhio
president, has been awarded the
distinguished service key given
to the member of the organiza
tion who has contributed most in
service to the University.
He was presented with the key
at a banquet held Sunday in the

Hospital Use Seen
For Earth Satellites
- Dr. Harold M. Hipsh, head of the Department of Aero
nautical Engineering, said yesterday that he believes man
made satellites could be used for hospitals when ,they are
fully developed.
"Because of the weightlessness caused by a lack of gravity
in outer space, they would be
good for treating many ailments,
such as heart disease," he told the
Centre County Reserve Officers
Association
The fact that they would be
continually bathed in sunlight, he
said, would be another advantage
in using them for hospitals.
Main Uses Cited.
The best use for them would
probably be discovered after they
become a reality, he said, as is
almost always the case with new
inventions.
The other main use he men
tioned was that of refueling sta-,
tiions for space-traveling rocket!
ships.
Although some scientists have
said they think it is impossible to
escape the earth's gravitational
pull, which is necessary, for space
travel, Dr. Hipsh said, "I believe]
it's technically possible."
High-Powered Fuel
What is needed now, he said, is
a high powered fuel capable of
propelling a satellite 25,000 m.p.h.,
the speed needed to escape the
earth's gravity.
The basketball-sized satellite,
which will be released next year.
will travel at 18,000 m.p.h. and
will circle the earth at a height of
about 250 miles, he said.
It will be valuable for the new
data it will provide about the
source of cosmic radiation, and
data on the ionosphere, important
because of its effect on communi
cations on earth, he said.
Radiation From Sun
He said it will also give new'
data about radiation from the sun,
which has some control over the
earth's weather, and more infor
mation about the structure of the
upper atmosphere.
The first satellite will probably
remain in its orbit anywhere from
two weeks to two years with luck,

he said, depending upon the
amount of drag from air friction
it experiences.
If there were no drag, he slid,
it would continue indefinitely
circling the earth like a natural
satellite. "It would rise and set
just as the sun," he said.
