FRIDAY. MARCH 6. 1959 Closer State College Airport Not Expected in Near Future State College is apparently no closer to a municipal airport than it has ever been, according to Gladys G. Tanner, Borough Council member. Mrs. Tanner said that an airport commission exists at the present time, whose duty is to assimilate information concerning the feasibility of a municipal airport and the prob lems that would.be encountered. Its findings are then reported to Borough Council, which acts upon the reports. There have been no recent reports to council concerning the airport, she said. Inferesf in a municipal air port was at a peak two years ago, when it was found that the nearest airport serving commer cial airlines was Black Mos hannon airport near Philips burg. It was also found that the majority of air passengers at the airport were State College citizens and University students. In view of this. Borough Coun cil decided that a commercial airport closer to the borough would be more convenient and would aid in the development of the area. The airport commission was asked to draw up definite plans for air service to the area and to submit them to the Pennsyl vania Aeronautics Commission. Late in February, 1957, the Civil Aeronautics Administration became interested in the project and announced it would recom mend to the federal government that it would foot half the bill to match funds raised by the county and the state, as provided for under the National Airport Plan. The state, however, was in different to the, plan and showed no signs of cooperation. Meanwhile, State College was considering possible sites for the airnort, which included the State College Air Depot in Pine Grove Mills, and sites in Pine Hall, Scotia, Boogersville and Houserville. A strong voice of protest arose over the possible selection of the air depot site from residents in the area who pointed out that private aircraft using the depot caused shingles to fall off houses and that a school was within one mile of the field, posing a safety hazard which would only be in- 1 creased if commercial airliners used the field. Mrs. Tanner :aid. In March 1957 State College and Dußois agreed to cooperate on the issue and decided to ob tain two airports, one for each area. About this time the state decided to enlarge the existing facilities at Black Moshannon in order to better serve Central Pennsylvania. State College and Dußois ar gued that the proposed two air ports could better serve the county than could Black Mos hannon, which was•"remote and almost inaccessible," they said. In April 1957 the federal gov ernment announced that it would not allocate funds to Dußois for their airport. State College was in the process of seeking Federal funds when -the University Park airport at Boogersville was op ened, putting a damper on the borough's plans, according to 'Mrs. Tanner.

By JIM MORAN Cabinet to Consider Means Of Starting Senior Gift Fund The proposal to collect money during registration for the future senior class gifts will be con sidered by All-University Cabinet next Thursday evening. The suggestion, which has been approved by President Eric A. Walker, provides for class booths to be set up in Recreation Hall. Students would be required to go to the booth representing their particular class and there be asked to pay 50 cents a semester for their gift fund. If the proposal is accepted by Cabinet, an additional IBM card I will be included in the packet that each student receives from his adviser. The payment will be recorded on a card to be held He's not dishonest—or doing anything illegal. But present federal laws give him and many other people an unfair tax advantage over you and most Americans. Here's how: More than 20 cents out of every dollar you pay for electricity goes for taxes. But under present tax laws, several million families and businesses escape paying most of the taxes in their electric bills that you pay in yours. They are people whose electricity comes from federal government electric systems. Unlike you, these people pay no federal taxes at all and little or no state or local taxes in their electric bills. ' What's more, the taxes they escape have to be made up by other people—including you! Most Americans believe everyone should pay his own fair share of taxes.

The suggestion also provides for pledge cards to be filled out by a student who forgets his money but intends to pay. President Walker nas agreed that the University will donate $3 for each $1 collected by the senior class, $2 for every $2 col ,lected by the junior class and $1 for each $3 contribution by the sophomores. This is a result of ,the discovery last semester that a senior class gift fund was non existent. The Senior Class Advisory Board is considering a suggestion to collect money for the present gift when graduates pick up their copies of LaVie. This idea will be decided upon at the board meet ing next week.

POVERTY CAN BE FUN It is no disgrace to be poor. It is an error, but it is no disgrace. So if your purse is empty, do not skulk and brood and hide your head in shame. Stand tall. Admit your poverty. Admit it freely and frankly and all kinds of good things will happen to you. Take, for instance, the case of Blossom Sigafoos. Blossom, an impecunious frcJnuan at an Eastern girls' college, was smart as a whip and round as a dumpling, and scarcely a day went by when she didn't get invited to a party weekend at one of the nearby men's schools. But Blossom never accepted. She did not have the rail fare; she did not have the clothes. Weekend after weekend, while her classmates went frolicking, Blossom sat alone, saved from utter despair only by her pack of Marlboros, for even an exchequer as slim as Blos som's can afford the joys of Marlboro—joys far beyond their paltry price: rich, mellow tobaccos, lovingly cured and care fully packed; a new improved filter that works like a charm. Croesus himself could not buy a better cigarette! However, Marlboro's most passionate admirers—among whose number 1 am paid to count myself—would not claim that Marlboro can entirely replace love and romance, and Blos som grew steadily moroser. 4, -- lier ci in& 4i6' Then one day came a. phone call from an intelligent sopho more named Tom O'Shanter at a nearby men's college. "Blos som," said Tom, "I want you to come down next week for the barley festival, and I won't take no for an answc:r." "No," said Blossom. "Foolish girl," said Torn gently. "I know why you refuse me. It is because you are poor, isn't it?" "Yes," said Blossom. "I silt send you a railroad ticket," said Tom, "Also a small salami in ease you get hungry on the train." "But I have nothing to wear," said Blossom. Tom replied, "I will send you one suit of cashmere, two gowns of lace, three slacks of velvet, four shoes of calf, five socks of nylon, and a partridge in a pear tree." "That is most kind," said Blossom, "but I fear I cannot dance and enjoy myself while back home my poor lame brother Tiny Tim lies abed." _ "Send him to Mayo Brothers and put it on my tab," said Tom. "You are terribly decent," said Blossom, "but I cannot come to your party beeause all the other girls at the party will be from rich, distinguished families, and my father is but a humble woodcutter.". "I will buy him Yosemite," said Tom. "You have a great heart," said Blossom. "Hold the phone while I ask our wise and kindly old Dean of amen whether it is proper for me to accept all these gifts." She went forthwith and asked the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Women laid her wise and kindly old hand on Blossom's cheek and said, "Child, let not fake pride rob you of happiness. Accept these gifts from Tom." "Lord love you, Wise and Kindly," breathed Blossom, drop ping .grateful tears into the Dean's reticule. "I must run and tell Torn." "Yes, run, child," mid the Dean, a smile wrinkling her wise and kindly old eyes. "And ask him has he got an older brother." The makers of filter-tip Marlboro, who bring you this column, are Also the makers of non-filter Philip Morris, who also bring you this column. Whichever you choose, you're right. Thalimer's Plan -- (Continued from page one) the other end of the meeting table. Cabinet took two breaks to ease the weariness of the five-hour meeting. It's first coffee break came ,at the two-hour point and the second was at 10 p.m. when coffee was delivered to the meet ing room. One corner of the meeting table was stacked with reference books and other material brought by Robert Franklin, editor of The Daily Collegian.
