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.

bakers’ probe until May 25, was
outwardly uneventful except for
a verbal tiff later between rival

Meantime Sen. John L. McCel

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.
