The West Penn Power Co. has acquired a 100-foot wide right-of-way along the mountain to put in a power line for providing additional bulk power, to the State College area, accord ing to Robert A. Novotny, district engineer for the company. "Certainly a 100-foot gash cut! across the face of the mountain is going to add nothing to Mt. Nit-1 tany's natural beauty," Robeit M. Koser, association president. said. "We feel that there are plenty of, other routes for the proposed pow er line" However, the Association will do everything it can to prevent the power line from being cut through, Koser said. The Association purchased 560; acres of the , mountain in 1946 lo preserve its beauty as a Univer sity symbol. When asked just how the Asso ciation planned to prevent the; plan, Koser said, "The next move is up to the power company. When we find out what they're going to do, we will take our next step.", The decision on whether or not the company will proceed with the line may be made at a district meeting to be held this afternoon in Greensburg, Novotny said. The Lion's Paw group, cam posed of the alumni members of the senior society, are fighting the line because they feel it will scar the mountain, All the trees and shrubbery are removed from the paths of power lines giving them a brownish yellow appearance from a dis tance.
