Today's Foreca. Fair and Warm , High 70-73 VOL. 57. No. 137 Better L Air Serv Request! The State College Authority last night file a request with the Penn sylvania Aeronautics Commis sion for better airline service to the area. The request will go through the commission to the Civil Aero nautics Board. M. K. Gingrich, vice chairman of the authority, said the group would ask that more airline flights be scheduled in the State College vicinity. The authority is investigating the prospect of an airport to serve State College. The area is cur rently served by Black Moshan non Airport, 28 miles from State College. ' An increase in local airline ser vice would have to' be handled by the Black-Moshannon Airport. However, if a proposed airport closer to State College Were built, it could probably take much of the airline traffic from the other airport. The authority also decided to publish the results of a survey taken among the University ad ministration and among towns people concerning travel by air. The survey investigated the amount of air travel by mem bers of the University administra tion from September through De cember of last year, State College businessmen and townspeople were questioned concerning the amount of travel by air they did during the whole of last year. The survey also questioned these three sources concerning an ticipated yearly air travel if there were an airport located within 10 miles of State College.

Blanks to Be Sent ittee Investigates Baker's Union egiatt Frosh Suspended For Hitting Prof A freshman in the College of Engineering and Architec ture has been suspended from the University for striking ant instructor after being accused of cheating in a bluebook. The suspension, which has been approved by the Senate subcommittee on disciplinary action, is effective at the end of the semester. The student may apply for readmittance for the spring semester next year. The student has also been dropped from the course and will receive a failing grade.' This ac tion was taken by Norman R. Sparks, head of the Department] of Mechanical Engineering. Perkins Describes incident The incident, according to Har old W. Perkins, assistant dean of; men, happened like this: The student was taking a blue book in a class taught by E. Wil-I liam Beans, instructor in mechan- 1 ical engineering. The students were permitted to. use a chart in the back of the I book during the test. The chart| could be removed from the book' The student, sitting in the first row, had an open book on the seat beside him. Beans noticed this and presumed the student was cheating. Beans then accused the student of cheating and lifted his blue book. The student protested that he was not cheating and used “abusive language.” Tears Bluebook Then Beans tore up the blue book and the student struck him. Perkins said the subcommittee decided the case mainly on the student’s action after being ac cused of cheating. In the ma jority of cheating cases, the sub committee spends much of its time hearing evidence as to whe ther the student was cheating. This case, which involved the 'striking of the instructor, was a little different, Perkins said. ! Regular cheating cases are di vided into three classifications— presumably unpremeditated, pre-l meditated, and cooperative pre-j meditated cheating involving col lusion. The severeness of the pen alty depends upon the classifica- 1 tion.
