WORKMEN put the finishing touches on the steps of the Boucke
Building. Painters will soon startimork on the front of the building.

PCI intinlll Begin
On Boucke Building
Painters will begin certain portions of the front of the
new Boucke Building next week and the painters will be
working "all over the place before long," according to Earl
W. Rife, superintendent of Boucke construction.
With limestone facing completed 'and granite to be
finished in a "few days," Rife
said, the painters can begin on
the front almost immediately.
They will probably begin painting
inside very shortly, he added,
since the plastering is more than
half done.
All of the interior, -except the
two large 'lecture rooms and the
fourth floor corridor have been
already plastered, according to
David E. Hughes, plaster superin
tendent.
Workmen installing wall til
ing axe about "99.9 per cent"
done with their job. Rife said,
and they're waiting now for a -
"few odd shapes" to finish it up.
The wall tiling is of three colors.
Tan and "clearglaze" are being
used in the rest rooms, and "ocu
lar green" is being used for the
halls' and stair towers.
Installation of acoustic tiles for
classroom ceilings will begin in
April, Rife said, and will take
at least six weeks to - Complete.
Acoustics in the halls and rest
rooms will be subdued by a
Fall Expansion
For Black Mosh
Expressing the "need for
one centrally-located, well
equipped airport" to serve
central Pennsylvania, state
high way and aeronautics
officials announced Thurs
day that expansion of Black
Moshannon Airport is sched
• uled to begin in the fall.
This expansion is a thorn in
. the side of the State College
Airport Authority, since such
an undertaking may mean no
state aid for a proposed air
port - for the State College-
Bellefonte area.
The State College authority
has been working with the
Dußois authority in trying to

This type of plaster is being
used rather than a sand-base
type because it has a greater
degree of fire resistance. .
Hughes said it has a 3-hour fire
rating, which means that it can
withstand high temperatures for
a minimum of three hours with

Rife estimated that workers
would begin installing floors in
May. Asphalt tile will be put on
the classroom floors, he said, and
terrazo will be used for the lobby
and rest rooms.
Landscaping on the new build
ing will begin this spring. How
ever, most of the landscaping
work to be done this semester
will be confined to preparing
the ground and planting grass

To prepare the ground, the di
vision of landscape construction
and maintenance will first cover
it with 18 inches of top soil and
then grade the slopes.
convince the state that central
Pennsylvania would be better
served by two airports—one in
State College and one in Du-
Bois—than by the expansion of
Black Moshannon.
Stift Going Ahead
The state, however, is going
ahead with its plans.
Engineers have been con
sulted for plans and estimates
on the expansion work, and
the state is now-waiting for a
50 per cent federal grant. The
anticipated total cost is $300,-

Tentative plans call for ex

Ike Willing to Join
Baghdad Group
TUCKER'S TOWN, Bermuda, March 22 (M--President
Dwight D. Eisenhower has told Prime Minister Harold R.
Macmillan the United States is willing to join the Baghdad
Pact's Military Committee in a move to check the spread of
'communism in the Middle East.
The action— disclosed today
and hailed by the British—is sure
to elate all the Middle East mem
bers of the five-nation pact.
It came as Eisenhower and
'Macmillan turned next to talks on
plans to bolster Britain's atomic
striking power to compensate
coming reductions of military
,manpower dictated by economic
!necessity.
U.S. May Help Britain
The President was expected to
assure the Prime Minister during
Mid-Ocean Club negotiations that
the United States is prepared to
help Britain develop a stream
lined, atomic age force.
In advance of the Eisenhower-
Macmillan session on that matter,
the President discussed related
problems at a lunch with key mil
itary • diplomatic advisers who
'flew in from Washington.
As for U.S. willingness to join
.the Baghdad Pact's military plan
!ning unit, the decision highly
pleased the British.
Pact Members
In addition to Britain, the pact
!members are Iran, Iraq, Turkey
land Pakistan. The alliance is de
signed as an anti-Communist de
fense shield across the northern
tier of the Middle East.
Member nations have long been
exerting much pressure on the
United States to join the pact as
a full member, or failing that, the
military planning group. The
United States already is a mem
ber of the Economic and Counter
subversive committees. .
May Upset Arabs
But the move to join the mili
tary unit also seemed sure to up
set the Arab nations of Egypt,
Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia,
all hostile to the pact. It could
also touch off Israel demands for
parallel security assurances from
the United -States.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
and Secretary of State Dulles
met for two hours during the
morning.

If approved, he said, it would

3 Changes
Suggested
For Parking
Three immediate changes in
the campus parking situation
were suggested to All-University
Cabinet Thursday night in a re
port of the Sophomore Advisory
Board.
They are:
•That the lots next to the Jor
dan Fertility Plots (Area 50) and
the skating rink (part of Area 43)
be hard-surfaced.
•That Shortlidge Rd. be open to
one-way traffic only, from mid
night to 1 a.m. Saturday and Sun
,day mornings.
•That an entrance to the lot be
hind Grange dormitory (Area 23)
be constructed from Pollock Rd.
through an existing driireway
next to the Hetzel Union Build
ing.
The changes were not presented
as official recommendations, John
Sopko. sophomore class president,
said because the committee
"would like more time to gather
information concerning the peri
pheral lots."
The completed report will be
presented to Cabinet at a later
meeting. Sopko said 'that he is
planning to confer with Walter
H. Wiegand, director of the De
partment of the Physical Plant.
The committee took a spot
check of the peripheral parking
areas to determine the availabil
ity of space in these areas. The
check was taken during two
"typical" days, the report said;
one cold and wet Friday and the
other a sunny and warm Tuesday.
The report indicated that 11
areas are not used beyond an
average of 73.2 per cent of their
capacity. It said that at least 374
parking spaces of a total 1713
were available at all times dur
ing the two days the parking areas
were checked.
