to $4OO and creating a $l5 com
pensation for the Spring Week
publicity chairman.
The list was presented by Bar
bara Nichols as part of a report
of the Cabinet Committee on
Compensations.
Asked By Richards
Cabinet amended the list to
raise the All-University presi
dent's compensation s4oo—the
present level—at the suggestion
of All-University secretary-treas
urer Leonard Richards.
Richards said he believed the
president's compensation should
not be cut because of the time,
effort and sacrifices which are in
, volved in the conduct of the office.
The Spring Week publicity
chairman's compensation was add
ed by Joseph Eberly, a member
of the committee, by securing the
approval of the other committee
members.
18 Compensations Lowered
Of the compensations for the
37 positions which were listed for
both this year and next year. 18
were reduced in amount and four,
were increased.
The committee added one new
position to the compensations list
—Campus Chest business man
ager—and dropped ten others—
the nine college council presidents
and the coffee hour chairman.
The committee's report said the
council presidents were not in
cluded in the list because its juris
diction is limited to positions dele
gated by Cabinet. But it urged
e2rli council to compensate its
president with its own funds.
The compensations for 1957-8
and for 1956-7 are:

Local Airport Authority
Completes Initial Survey
The State College Airport Authorty has completed the
first part of its survey, that of interviewing borough resi
dents on a proposed county airport, and is well underway
on polling borough businessmen.
Herbert R. Imbt, chairman of the five-man authority,
said the final results of the poll will be made known at the
next meeting of the authority on
March 19.
The authority has also complet
ed its investigation of seven likely
sites for the airport, Irnbt said,
but the findings will not be made
known until the national Civil
Aeronautics Administration fin
ishes its inquiries.
Interest Expressed
The CAA has expressed interest
in an airport for the county, and
upon its recommendation, the fed
eral government will foot half the
bill under the provisions of the
National Airport Plan.
The other half would be taken
up by the state and the county
together, or by the county alone.
Imbt said the state has not shown
much interest in the project, so
the burden may rest on the coun
ty and the federal government.
The seven sites under consider
ation are the Black Moshannon
Airport, the present State College
Air Depot, a location at Pine Hall,
one at Scotia, two near Boogers
burg and one near Houserville.
Sites Recommended
Black Moshannon Airport was
recommended as a site by the
Philipsburg Chamber of Com
merce, while the other six were
favored by the State College Area
Chamber of Commerce.
Imbt said Black Mosharmon is
favored by some, for the reason
that construction would not have
to "start from scratch." But, he
added, enlargement to 5000 feet,
the longest extension possible on
the present runway, is not enough
for the large planes of today's air
lines.
Sirs a Factor
He said a practical airfield must
run well over 5000 feet, so that
locating at Black Moshannon
would require just as much ex
pense as any other place.
The airport authority was
foimed by Borough Council on
Oct 16 and since then has been
working for the location of a
county airport
