COMMITTEE CONSIDERING SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
The Committee on Academic Standards
is planning for the annual awarding of
the Louise Carnegie and John W, White
Scholarships* In order to facilitate
the consideration of each case, the
Committee has prepared special applica-
tion forms which may now be obtained at
the office of Professor Jacob Tanger,
committee chairman, 409 Old Main, All
applications should be returned to that
office on or before October 10,
Students whose academic ratings
fall in the first ten per cent of their
class are eligible for consideration for
these scholarships. However, as the
number of applicants in recent years has
been greatly in excess of the sixteen
scholarships available, the selection
has of necessity been practically limited
to those with an academic rating not
below the first twentieth of the class.
In making the nominations for these
several scholarships, the Committee on
Academic Standards is assisted by a com-
mittee of three undergraduates appointed
by the Student Board,

tee make its report to the Senate at the

EXHIBIT OF AMERICAN PAINTING
The current exhibition, "Ameri-
can Painting," in the College Art
Gallery, room 303 Main Engineering,
will hang until Saturday, October
El, according to Professor J. Burn'
Helme of the Division of Fine Arts,
Department of Architecture. The
gallery is open daily except Sun-
day from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The public is cordially invited.
This exhibition, comprised
mainly of oils, includes the work
of such prominent artists as Saul
Berman; Bruce Mitchell; Sidney
Laufman, winner of the Altman
prize at this year f s National Acad-
emy Exhibit in New York; Arnold
Vv'iltz; Leon Kelly of Pennsylvania;
June Groff, also of Pennsylvania;
and others of equal importance.
A significant cross-section
of American art is presented in
this group of 33 paintings, which
includes 15 works by artists who
were represented in "New Horizons
in American Art," the display of
the Work Projects Administration
Art Program held at the Museum of
Modern Art in New York City last
year.
All sections of the country
are represented by the paintings.
The landscapes illustrate a new
vital emotion which was in danger
of being lost during the period
of worship of technique for its
own sake* City, small town, and
industrial scenes also interest
the Project artists, but still life
and figure painting receive very
little attention.
Exhibitions of this type, ac-
cording to Professor Helme, are one in a hundred years,
of the outstanding features of the
Work Projects Administration Art
Program. The Art Projects beyond
providing employment for needy
artists have produced art for thou-
sands of American institutions and
millions of our American people.
The program has opened to the pub-
lic new avenues for active commun-
ity participation in the arts, and
in the words of Lawrence Vail Cole-
man, Director of the American Asso-
ciation of Museums , as quoted by
Professor Helme, "The Art Project
is one of the most important things
that has happened to American a.rt

The larger committee provides
more adequate representation for
the student body and gives repre-
sentation to townspeople. The first
number to be engaged is the Cleve-
land Symphony Orchestra, which is
scheduled to appear in State College
Friday evening, March 29* It was
necessary for the committee to en-
ter Into contractual arrangements
with the orchestra before the ap-
pearance of the last number on last
year's scries in order to be assumed
that they would appear on the cam-
pus for the forthcoming series*
Accordingly, subscribers to
last year's course were asked in
expressing their preferences for
numbers on this year's series to
take the appearance of the Cleve-
land organization for granted. Pop-
ular- interest. in the number ran so
high, however, that 115 subscribers
voted the Cleveland Symphony as a
personal choice. Symphony orches-
tras have invariably polled the high-
est number of votes for any type
of number,
"in booking the Cleveland Sym-
phony, we are not only obtaining the
services of a fine orchestral group,
but are responding, as we have
always attempted to do, to the
expressed preferences of subscribers.
There appeared to members of the
committee to be unmistakable evi-
dence of a growing preference for
a new orchestral group and the
Cleveland Symphony has not appeared
on our series for six years," Dr.
Marquardt .stated*,
The Cleveland Symphony Orches-
tra Is an older organization than
the National Symphony which has
appeared here for the last three
cons-ecutive years* The National is
in its ninth season this year. The
Cleveland enters its twenty- second.
It began its celebrated tours in
its very first season* Now with
continuing re-engagements, the num-
ber of concerts played away from

scheduled for the present tour is

DON COSSACK CHORUS TO OPEN ARTISTS' COURSE
In response to demand ,for a
choral number, always a popular
feature on Artists 1 Course series/ '
the committee for this year's con-
certs has engaged the Don Cossack
Chorus for the opening performance
Tuesday evening, December 12. Dur-
ing the last 15 years the Don Cos-
racks have traveled nearly a million
miles in giving approximately 4-000
concerts • Those who have heard
them in one of their many concerts
in this country have been impressed
with their verve and color«
The chorus
comprised of 36
men, giants 'in stature, who appear
dressed In black tunics and shiny
black boots, and stand erect In
military obedience to commands
from their leader. They sing with
joy and abandon, in some songs
whistling and dancing in accom-
paniment to their music. Sonoro-us-
basses plumb the bottom of the
vocal register, balanced at the'
other end by high and equally power-
ful tenors.
The Don Cossacks v/ill sing
three groups in their concert here,
the first being liturgical in
character, the others composed main-
ly of the folk songs of Russia.
Characterizing the first group Is
the "Cherubim Song," a perfect ex-
ample of the 18th century hymn and
corresponding with the ancient mel-
ody preserved by the Simonov Con-
vent. Outstanding in the latter
two groups is Shvedoff's unique
arrangement of Rachmaninoff's famed
"Prelude in C Sharp Minor."
Few choruses can match the
exciting history of the Don Coo-
sacks. Most of them officers in
the defeated White Army under
General Wr angel during the Russian
Revolution, they were imprisoned
at Tchelengir in 1921. They com-
bat ted the misery of their exist-
ence by gathering about the camp-
fires at night and singing the
songs of: their homeland--songs of
the peasants, laborers, and sol-
diers at work and at play, and
liturgical music. of the Russian
Church. One of- their number, a
young lieutenant, had been a choir-
master. Seeing' the possibilities
in the rich natural voices of many
of these men, he formed them into
a group' that has remained vi r-
tually intact to this day.
"When the men were exiled to
Bulgaria two years later, the
chorus formed by Serge Jaroff be-
came the choir of the St. Sofia
Cathedral. It was a short time
only before a shrewd manager de-
tected their potentialities and
encouraged them to present their
first secular concert.
Most of the Cossack people
were either killed or dispersed
when the Bolsheviks began their
war against the old regime. The
present troupe, with' its reper-
toire of 130 numbers, is one of
the few ramainlng agencies keep-
ing the old culture alive. The
members of the chorus, banned from
Russia, are now studying to become
citizens of the United States.
SCHOLASTIC MORTALITY AS RELATED TO RANK IN HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
Admission to the Pennsylvania State
College is based very largely on rank in
secondary school graduating classes. That
this' method "is justified seems to be
indicated in the following paragraphs*
In the supplement to the Faculty Bul-
letin of September 26 , 1939 , the names of
students who were dropped for poor scholar-
ship at the- e-n-d -of the second semester of
last year are listed. The Faculty Bulletin
of March 7, 1939, contains the. names of
students dropped at the end of the first"
semester of the year 1938—39. The total
number dismissed at the end of both semes-
ters of the year is 368<, Four of these
were two-year agriculture students and
six were special students, leaving a
total of 358 students who were candidates
for baccalaureate degrees.

rKiu i\REISLER, CELEBRATED VIOLINIST, AND
CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER ON ARTISTS COURSE
With the engagement of Fritz
Kreisler and Cornelia Otis Skinner,
the program for the forthcoming
Artists 1 Course has been completed,
according to an announcement from
Dr. Carl E# Marqtiardt, chairman*
More money will be expended for tal*
lent this year than ever before,
although there will be but four
numbers on the current course as
compared to five or six in other
years.
"The opportunity to engage
Fritz Kreisler cflme to the com-
mittee as a complete and unexpect-
ed surprise* . In other years the
inclusion of so outstanding an ar-
tist as Kreisler has been s<~> defin-
itely beyond cur financial means
that the committee spec! f i cal ly
withheld his name ■ from the ballots
on which past subscribers were ask-.
ed to indicate their preferences
for a forthcoming scries
Dr.
Marqtiardt stated. "Due to the un-
settled situation abroad and the
consequent curtailment of concert
plans in Europe, it has been pos-
sible to obtain the services of
Fritz Kreisler on participation
basis which has not heretofore
been available."
In selecting attractions for
the current series, the committee
was definitely of the opinion that
the local audience would prefer to
have four top-ranking numbers than
five or six of lesser quality, Dr.
Marquardt stated. Accordingly the
committee has attempted to support
the appearance of perhaps the world's
most ceLebrated violinist, with
thr.ee. other numbers, each of which
would be outstanding in its field.
In selecting Cornelia Otis Skinner,
who has been described as "the great-
est single attraction in the Ameri-
can theatre," cognizance was taken
of the fact that she was the most
popular number on the ballots re-
turned last spring. The commi'ttee
has sought to engage her several
times previously without success,
usually because her itinerary was
not , definite ..enough when it became
necessary to make commitments*
"When the committee considered
the question as to whether -there
should be five or six numbers at a
higher price or four numbers at the
same prices that have prevailed in
other years* it was generally felt
that the price range should remain
the same," Dr. Marquardt stated,
"it was believed that if the price •
of the series was raised, the in-
crease in price might work a defi-
nite hardship on the student body
and thus defeat the educational
purposes of the course. According-
ly prices will remain at $5, $4,
and $3 per series ticket*";.
The Kreisler number -will be
the third In the series 'and is
scheduled for Thurs'day evening,
March 7. Cornelia Otis Skinner
will appear in "The Loves of
Charles II" as the second number
on the evening of Tuesday, Jan-
uary
The first number will be
the Don Cossack Chorus on Tuesday
evening, December 12, and the fi-
nal number will be the Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra, on Friday
evening, March 29.

FINE ARTS HONORARY TO SPONSOR MOVIE REVIVAL OF "THE LAST LAUGH"
"The Last Laugh/' directed by
F. '7. Murnau with Emi 1 J armings in
the lead, a distinguished silent
motion picture of 1924, will be
shown in Schwab Auditorium, start-
ing at 8:50 Wednesday evening,
November 29, according' to an an-
nouncement received from Professor
J. Burn Helme. The program is
sponsored by Pi Gamma Alpha, honor-
ary fine arts fraternity on the
campus, as a contribution to a
better understanding of the motion
picture as an art form. Admission
is free. Townspeople, faculty
members, and students are cordially
invi ted*
Modern art is not confined to
painting and sculpture, Professor
Helme says. Superficially an
ephemeral entertainment only, the
motion picture in fact is a new
medium of expression. As a sig-
nificant reflection of contemporary
aesthetics, modes, and manners, it
has grown more and more important
to society; Its influence is far-
reaching. Believing that an exam-
ination, however brief, of the
history and the functions of this
new art is a worth-while under-
taking for a fine arts fraternity,
Pi Gamma Alpha proposes to sponsor
a series of programs from the Museum
of Modern Art Film Library this
coming winter. A start will be
made with "The Last Laugh," a land-
mark film in the development of the
use of the camera.
"The Last Laugh" constituted
a revolution in the method of film
making; it broke with the past in
both technique and theory. Pre-
viously, a discontinuous method
of pictorial narration had been in
general use. Films were composed
after the photographic process had
been completed, by joining together
the various shots taken with a sta-
tionary camera, which was shifted
only between scenes.
In "The Last Laugh" a new and
continuous method of narration was
used, for here appear prolonged
stretches of uninterrupted and un-
cut Images, in which the camera
itself has moved to follow the
progress of the action.' This film
took final shape before, not after,
the shooting and was played in sets
specially constructed to permit
continuous action and continuous
photography, with the camera mount-
ed on perambulating trucks or
swinging cranes. It was actually
the joint product of "four men:
Murnau, the director; Freund, the
cameraman; Mayer, the scenarist;
and Jennings, the principal actor.
Together they conceived and devel-
oped it as a pictorial unit, work-
ing with unusual freedom In a
studio unparalleled anywhere at
that time for its technical equip-
ment and the ingenuity of its
craftsmen. Faculty members are
urged to see this history-making
production on Wednesday, the 29th.
OF GENERAL INTEREST
An exhibit of the original pen
and ink drawings made by T. H. Rob-
inson, a celebrated English illus-
trating artist,' for Thackeray's
Henry Esmond will continue in the
College Library during the week of
November 20.
The pictures' are well knownto
most readers. "Although the fair
Beatrix doesn't seem quite so fair
to u:
the announcement from the
library states, "and the clothes
worn by Henry Esmond and his friends
appear very definitely ' masqueradish',
the pictures do undoubtedly portray
the ladies and gentlemen of Esmond's
time very -well* If you enjoy fancy
shoe-buckles, lace cuffs, wide
skirts, and masses of curls (mascu-
line as well as feminine), see the
Robinson pictures."

PUBLICITY FOR
CHRISTMAS PAPERS
AP P L I CA T I ON S REQUE S TED FOR
'NEW LIBRARY FACILITIES
Members cf the faculty who
plan to attend meetings of pro-
fessional societies or participate
at educational conferences during
the Christmas holidays are asked
to report this fact to their de-
partment head at once. The head
of the department is asked to keep.
a record of this proposed partici-
pation and to report the activities
of members of his department to
the Department of Public Informa-
tion at his early convenience, as
soon as he thinks his information
is reasonably complete.
In cases where papers are to
be delivered, it will be helpful
to the prestige of the College if
advance copies or abstracts of the
proposed addresses are sent to the
Department of Public Information
well In advance of the meetings.
No publicity about the contents of
the papers will be released for
publication before their delivery,
but It is essential for the de-
partment to have the papers well
in advance in order to assimilate
their contents and organize the
presentation of material for the
press if it Is to appear at all.
Faculty members who fear mis-
quotation have the assurance of
tiie College News Service that news
stories about their papers will be
submitted to them for approval be-
fore they are released to press
associations and newspapers if
they so request in submitting the
abstracts.
The new central library build-
ing contains 60 carrells in the
stack, 12 on each of five floors.
Each carrell includes a desk top
on which to write, a chair, and a
locked book shelf. It does not in*
elude a door so that carrells not
in use may be available to other
faculty members and graduate stu-
dents. Carrells and keys to the
book shelves will be assigned to
faculty members 'as far as possible
In the order of preference ^n the
semester basis when and if we move
into the new building. Meanwhile,

The Committee on Academic Standards
presented a request for an exception to
the residence rule in the case of Miss
Mary Latherow, This recommendation, which
would permit Miss Latherow to earn one
college credit prior to the opening of

as a precedent. The recommer.dat ion, which

was on motion adopted.
Professor Kinsloe, Chairman of the
Committee on Courses of Study, presented
a report which had previously been dis-
tributed among the members of the Senate,

Professor Kinsloe raised the question
as to whether the practice of circular-
izing the reports of the Committee on Cotir-
ses of Study a week or more prior to any
meeting date, as now permitted for the De-
cember meeting, might not with propriety
be extended to other months of the year.
On motion of Dr. Dengler this suggestion
of Professor Kinsloe' s was adopted.
The President announced that he would
appoint in the very near future a commit-
tee en campus traffic and parking. The
co-chairmen of this committee were to be
Dean Warnock and Mr, Hostetter* The Pres-
ident asked of the Senate its cooperation
with and sympathetic aid for the committee,
The President further announced that
under date of December 16 there would be a
special meeting of the Executive Committee

the docket would be restricted to the ques-
tions surrounding the issuing of bonds by

man tomorrow, V/ednesday, January 17, at

CARBON COPIES WILL HELP
The Department of Public Information
would like to receive carbon copies of
the prepared addresses faculty and. staff
members are scheduled to make before any
group or organization other than a regu-
larly scheduled class,
Within recent months many news items
have been written and distributed which
f ound their origin in the information
contained in these prepared addresses,
ohe message sometimes thus attaining a
• irculation numerically a hundredfold
greater than the audience before which . .
it was originally delivered,, Some of. the
articles have found circulation through
the press associations.
The publicity department would nat-
urally like to have this material as far
in advance of the date it is scheduled
"o o be delivered as possible because
resultant publicity is likely tc be
greater if the release can be placed in
the
far
the hands of editors at a time to coincide
with the actual delivery. But papers re-
ceived after delivery are not absolutely
valueless for publicity purposes because
they sometimes suggest possible topics not
necessarily predicated upon the speech
it self.
It would be helpful also if individual
members of the staff would endeavor to 'call
to the attention of the Department of Pub-
lic Information the publication of articles
which they have written for scholarly and
scientific publications. Some effort is
now being made by the department to review
all such material for news distribution,
but the assignment is naturally broad and
requires the periodical inspection of hun-
dreds of likely publications to keep in
touch with the scholarly production of all
staff memberso Some effort is being made
tc show each cooperating faculty member
clippings of the material which originates
with him.
A LETTER TO FACULTY MEMBERS
To Faculty Members:
The Independent Party is seeking to
establish on the campus an examinat ion
file in which copies of all types of ex-
aminations will be kept,, When the plan
was discussed with the Council of Admin-
istration, no objection was raised to
rhe cooperation of any individual facul-
ty member.
You are probably aware of the fact
that most fraternities have examination
records in their houses, We feel that
similar records should be available to
all student s .
We believe that such a file will
assist the students in studying for the
examinations and will serve
for better work.
, s a st imulus
The file is to become part of the
reference section of the College Library,
You can help us materially in the following
way: After each examination period,
please send a copy of your questions to
Miss Frear, Reference Librarian, Central
Library, who has kindly agreed tc help
us carry out the plan.
If you have any suggestions or com-
ments regarding the proposed filing sys-
tem, I should appreciate discussing
with j^ou.

EARLY FILING OF FINAL GRADES NECESSARY TO
SUCCESS OF NEW REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
The chief value of the two-
day period between semesters can
be realized if all instructors co-
operate with the Office of the
Registrar by having their grades
on file in the office at the ear-
liest possible date.
The Registrar's staff plans
to work evenings, Saturday after-
noon (February 3), and through
Sunday in order to have available
by Monday morning at 8 o'clock
grade reports for students regis-
tered during the first semester.
The Department of Industrial Engi-
neering is co-operating in the
printing of these grade reports
and will have them available for
all students by 8 a.m. on Monday,
February 5*
The registration procedure
has been changed for the second
semester in that all students are
first to call at the Office of the
Registrar for grade reports. No
adviser is permitted, according to
a procedure approved by the members
of the Council of Administration,
to sign a schedule for an under-
graduate unless he has first pre-
sented his report for the first
semester, which report should be
retained by the adviser. This, of
course, refers only to students in

mester of the current year. Those
admitted to the College at the
opening of the second semester will
have credentials indicating this
fact. Students previously matricu-
lated, but not in attendance during

letter indicating the fact that
they are entitled to return.

PROFESSOR MATHER TO DELIVER COMMENCEMENT. ADDRESS
Neark
:00 students arc ex-
pected to receive baccalaureate
and advanced degrees at the mid-
year commencement to be held ' to-
morrow evening, Wednesday, Janu-
ary 30, at 6 o'clock in Schwab
Audito'rium. Professor Kirtley F.
Mather, director of the Harvard
University Summer School and pro-
fessor of geology at Harvard will
deliver the commencement address
on "Intelligence and the Future
of America."
Profess' or Mather combines a
serious interest in rocks and min-
erals and in earthquakes and fos-
sils with 'an active interest in
the problems of modern civiliza-
tion. He lias given special atten-
tion to the trend of religious
philosophy in this scientific age
and to the development of modern
educational policies, both with
respect to. the ideals of the teach-
er and the technique of such aids
as motion pictures. He is one of
the leaders in the task of popular-
izing scientific knowledge and is
much in demand for lectures and ad-
dresses on topics in .the philo-
sophical, religious, educational,
and political spheres.
All faculty members are again
requested by Mr. Hoffman to march
in the procession, which will meet
in the balcony of the auditorium
at the south rear corner not later
than 7:45 p.m. The faculty will
be seated on the platform, as far
as space permits.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION
The Office of the Registrar
from time to time is criticized
for failing to know certain facts
in connection with applicants for
admission. Almost invariably on
inquiry it is discovered that the
applicant's first correspondence
was with some other college office
Undoubtedly when an applicant
writes to any member of the staff
In regard to admission that person
is entitled to answer the letter,
especially when it is remembered
that in most instances the corres-
pondence is of a personal nature.
It should be apparent, however,
that, in order that the office of
admission may be Informed as to
this personal interest, as well as
to any other pertinent facts in
connection with an applicant, a
carbon copy of such correspondence
should be sent to the Office of
the Registrar,

Through the adoption of this

hoping to dispel much of the disap-

sellout of series tickets in Decem-

regarded by many as the high mark
among the attractions provided by
the Artists' Course in recent years.

■INFORMATION, PLEASE
A tale that is yet to "be told In de-
finitive terms seems to the editor cf The
Faculty Bulletin to be the stcry of col-
lege and university professors and admin-
istrators who have made noteworthy a—
enlevements in business, government, and
the arts and professions beyond the
sphere of the classroom and the campus.
Does the general public view the
college professor or administrator with
less suspicion today than it did on the
eve' cf Wilson's election to the White
House?
Has the general preoccupation cf the
last decade with social, economic, and
political problems changed the attitude
of the public toward the scholar?
Has his reputation been enhanced or
has it suffered through participation in
efforts to solve the most perplexing prob-
lems of our day?
For enlightenment in connection with
a purely personal undertaking, the editor
of The Bulletin would like to 'know what
members cf the Penn State faculty believe
on this issue. He would be pleased to
have faculty members point out to him in-
dividuals with at least some college or
university teaching or administrative ex-
perience whose ncn— academic achievements
today may equal or excel their academic
at t ainment s •
For purposes of comparison, informa-
tion about outstanding figures of other
eras who qualify under this description
would also be helpful.

Council of Administration at its meeting Monday, February 12. It is re-
printed here for the information of the staff.

It was agreed that pre— examinat ion
recruiting by the Federal Government, pri-
marily to establish personal contacts with
students, is desirable. These contacts
should be with juniors as well as seniors.
The Forest Service has done this for sev-
eral years with satisfactory results. It
also gives summer employment to a limited
number of outstanding juniors and seniors.
More recently the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice has adopted similar procedure. It
is probable that the policy of "student
aid" will be adopted 'by other departments
of the Federal Government,
: The Civil '-Service Commission has
recognized this weakness in its recruit-
ing procedure. In co— operrat ion with the-
personnel office of each major division •
of the' Federal Government, it is now set-
ting tip a centralized recruiting service.
It is appointing a principal examiner in
each broad field, as in agriculture, engi-
neering, or economics. This officer will
visit the colleges at least once a year
to contact students, juniors as well as
seniors, to acquaint them with the oppor-
tunities in the Government service and,
in - some cases, to arrange for temporary
employment of students in the summer. It
was agreed that recruiting should be done
in the 'Second semester only, since it is
likely to distract the attention of stu-
dents from their studies. The Civil Ser-
vice Commission also proposes to make
available to the colleges, for public
lectures, outstanding specialists in the
Government service a

For the first tine in the history ending at noon Saturday, March 16, Seats
of the Artists' Course, a regularly sched— for the afternoon concert will be priced
uled evening performance will be supple-
mented by a special raatinee performance ,
Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, committee ^chairman,
announced today* In arranging the after-
noon performance, the committee had three
purposes in mind, Dr. Marquardt stated:
1. To experiment with the feasibil-
ity of providing two performances of some
or all of the numbers scheduled on the
course, with the intent of benefiting in
another year from this experience.
2. To alleviate some of the disap-
pointment which resulted from the early-
sell-out of tickets for the present
serie s •
3. To respond to a request from the
local Parent— Teachers Association that
students in the local school system be
given an opportunity to hear a symphony
orche stra. . ,
A special ticket sale for the after-
noon performance will take place for stu-
dents, faculty, and townspeople, at the
A. A. window.s.. in Old Main beginning at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning, March 13, and
at $1.25, excepting that students in the
public schools will be admitted by tickets
sold at 35f£ each within the school system.
The Parent— Teachers Association is guaran-
teeing half the costs of the extra per-
formances.
Tickets for parents and other adults
desiring to accompany the children will
be available at $1.25 at the High School
office during the entire week of March 11.
The afternoon and evening performances
will be entirely different, so that music
lovers may attend both with, profit.
Individual seats for the afternoon
performance will not be reserved, but in-
dividual tickets must be purchased in ad-
vance. The auditorium will be divided
down the center, with half the seats al-
located to college students and faculty
members. and the other half to students in
the public schools and their parents and
friends.
A limited amount of standing room for
the evening concert will also be sold at
$1.75 at the A.A. windows in Old Main at

of college regulations, is of the opin-
ion that Senate Rules No, 58—64 inclu-
sive, which have to do with vacation ab-
sences, are not working sat isf act orily
Me believe they should be reconsidered

v REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY TO PHI BETA KAPPA
(The editor of the Faculty Bulletin has been requested by official ac-
tion of the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa to publish this statement.)
The following are some of the
conditions which must have been
fulfilled by a graduating senior
in order to be eligible for Phi
Beta Kappa.
1. Residence in The Pennsyl-
vania State College of at least
two years with an average grade on
work done in this College of at
least 2,5.
Z, The work shall have been
liberal in character. This is in-
terpreted to mean that at least SO
per cent of the student's credits
shall have been in art, bacteriol-
ogy, botany, chemistry, drama,'
economics, English, entomology,
French, geography, geology, German,
Greek, history, Italian, Latin,
mathematics, mineralogy, music,
philosophy, physics, physical sci-
ence, political science, psychol-
ogy, sociology, social science,
Spanish, speech, or zoology, (Even
within these field
s, however, cer<
tain specific courses may be treat
ed by the Chapter as non-liberal;
l o be regarded as liberal,
si
ib-
jects must be taught and studied
from the point of view of knowl-
edge and appreciation rather than
from that of vocation or immediate
appl icat i on, )
3, There must be evidence of
a fairly wide range of interest.
This is safeguarded by the provi-
sion that the student must have
had at least
credits each from
six of the following eight subject
matter groups:
eluding bacteriology, biological
science, biological and physiolog-
ical
°gy.
chemistry, botany, and zool-

Fulfillment of these condi-
tions In no sense obligates the
Chapter to elect a student to mem-
bership in Phi Beta Kappa, Not
more than 10 per cent of those ex-
pected, to receive liberal bache-
lor's degrees may be elected, and
more than 50 per cent of all e-
lected must be from the School of
the Liberal Arts, It should be
made clear also that elections are
by secret ballot, and that in cast-

Chapter reserve the right to take

RESERVED SEATS FCR LECTURE BY SENATOR NYE
TO GO ON SALE BEGINNING THURSDAY MORNING
In an endeavor to help to re-
alize the oft-expressed desire of
students and faculty members to
hear more persons of national prom-
inence, the local chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa has underwri tten the ex-
penses in connection with the local
appearance of U. S. Senator Gerald
P. Nye, Dr. Ray H. Dotterer, presi-
dent of the chapter, has announced.
Senator Nye, who has been de-
scribed by Oswald Garrison Villard
as "one of the most valuable mem-
bers of the Senate," will appear in
Schwab Auditorium next Monday eve-
ning, April 15, at 8:15 o'clock.
All seats will be reserved. The
price of admission is 35^. The

morning beginning at 8 a.m.
If seats remain, they will
continue to be sold Monday morning
and afternoon during the same hours
and just before the lecture in the
lobby of Schwab Auditorium.
Senator Nye has been so fre-
tly in the news that a recital
is connections seems superflu-
ous topic will be "Can We

d especially for his policy of
ationism and his insistence on

TO BE GIVEN THIS WEEK
Faculty members, their wives
and friends are invited to attend
two motion pictures which will be
presented this week.
The first, "Little Caesar,"
with Edward 0. Robinson, will be
shown in Schwab Auditorium this
Thursday, April 11, at 8:30 p.m.
It is the third and last Fuse urn
of Modern Art Film Library movie
being brought to the campus by Fi
Gamma Alpha, honorary fine arts
fraternity. Described as "an his-
toric talkie of 1930," it is some-
what briefer than either of the
previous programs.

fessional fraternity in Education.'
It was awarded first prize by the

i s
It was awarded first prize
National Board as the "best filn
of 1938 from any country" and by
the New York Film Critics' Circle
as the "best foreign film of that
year , "
"Little Caesar" represents an
era when gangster films boasted
that ''every event shown in this
film is based on an actual occur-
rence" and that "all characters
are portraits of actual persons,
living or dead." In contrast, in
the present era films of American
life are preceded by the caution
that "events and persons depicted
herein are purely fictitious." In
the former period, Darryl Zanuck
was said to have determined his
production schedule on the basis
of newspaper headline content.
"Grand Illusion" presents a
moving plea for peace in a tense
drama depicting the life of some
French army officers in a German
prison camp. The cast' includes
Jean Gab in, Dita Farlo, Eric Von
Stroheim, Dalio, and Pierre Fresnay,

SECOND ANNUAL ALL -COLLEGE CIRCUS TO BE HELD THIS SATURDAY
The second annual All-College
Circus, sponsored by the School of
Physical Education and Athletics,
will be held in Recreation Hall
this Saturday, April 27, at 8 p.m.
Reserved seats at 35<zf will be sold
at the Student Union office until
5 p.m. Saturday. Over two-thirds
of these have already been bought.
General admission tickets may be
obtained at the door for Z5d»
Special music for this dis-
play of talent will be furnished
by the clown band master, Frank
Gullo, and his .group. Background
music for the acts will come from
the string ensemble directed by
IVrs. James F. Wis den.
Not until the night of the
circus will spectators discover
the identity of the queen and her
two attendants > who were selected
by the movie star, Dick Powell.
Featured acts of the circus
will be quite similar to those of
the best traveling performances.
Some of the outstanding displays
include: a perch-pole act, in
which one man supports another who
is doing tricks 25 feet above him
on the top of a pole; a swinging
trapeze act without a net; an at-
tempt to break the world's champion
muscle-grind record, which is now
held by Bob Clow of Illinois, with
88 successive revolutions; acrobats
on the bounding table; rope spin-
ning; adagio dancing; an iron jaw
act, in which the performer is sup-
ported only by his teeth; and others.
Clowns of all sizes and shapes
will give the show added zest. Bus-
by Butterf inger, the Circus public-
ity man, will be present in person
to give the affair a good start.
Fraternities whose acts have
been judged suitable will compete
for the trophy, which is to be a-
warded to the group giving the best
act. Those fraternities entered
are: Beta Sigma Rho and Pi Kappa
Alpha, both of which plan to pre-
sent a take-off on some current
affairs; Delta Sigma Phi, with' pole
balancing; and Phi Delta Theta>
wi th "the big shot" act.
The goal is to make this year's
circus better than last year's,
which included 300 actors and at-
tracted more than 4,000 spectators.
The purpose of the circus is to
meet the needs of those who have
talent and who would otherwise not
be able to display their abilities.
It is a climax to the indoor recre-
ational program.

COLLEGE LIBRARY TO DIVIDE IIS CATALOG
Librarians and card catalog users
have long regarded t.he increasing com-
plexity cf the dictionary cat a lag -with
dismay,, In spite of every effort to
simplify the filing rules, the arrange"
ment of cards still is complicated due
to the filing together cf various types
of entries "beginning with the same or a
similar word. One suggestion for sim-
plifying the catalog proposes two divi-
sions; an author and title catalog and
a subject catalog,, Among the lihraries
•which have tried this scheme are those
of the University of California at Berks*
ley and the Central State Teachers Col-
lege at Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
Some cf the advantages of the di-
vided catalog are that it will simplify
the filing; that it will produce a com-
pact subject catalog, bringing related
subjects more closely together; and that
persons using the catalog from a subject
approach will not hold up those wanting
to look up a single author or title.
Recently The Pennsylvania State
College Library staff voted to try this
experiment. So that' the physical sepa-
ration can be made before the library is
moved into the new building, it was de-
cided to start on Hay 1 to separate the
authors and titles and subjects within
each catalog tray. Blue giiide cards, one
reading "Authors and Titles" and one read-
ing "Subjects", will be inserted in each
tray as it. is dividedo It is hoped that
the division can be cor. plet ed' before sum-
mer school begins, and that it can be ac-
complished with a minimum of inconvenience
to faculty and students. Tie catalog
trays will be available to, the public at
all times during the process of division.
If at any time anyone has difficulty in
locating material in the divided trays,
the catalogers and other staff members
will be only too glad to assist.
Since it will take several months
to make the necessary adjustments, it
will be some time before the divided cata-
log can function properly and "before it
can be given a fair trial, "We do not
expect the arrangement to solve all the
problems arising in locating material,"
the announcement states, "but we do hope
that it will solve some of them and that'
you will find it easier to' use',"

REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER CAMP -AND SUMMER PRACTICUM
Registration for summer camp and
summer practicum courses for undergrad-
uates will take place Thursday and Fri-
day, May 2 and 3, at the Office of the
Registrar. This special period has been
appointed to keep registration for these
courses separate from second semester
Aork and to enable departments to make
preparation for this work. Courses in
the above category include: Agronomy 14,
Dairy Husbandry 17, Forestry camp, Geol-
ogy 70 and 72, Rome Economics 315, Hor-
ticulture 17, Landscape Architecture 16
and 17, Mining 60, Poultry Husbandry 9,'
Surveying 48, Courses of this nature al-
ready placed on second semester schedules
have been disregarded, so that registra-
tion for these courses is necessary May
2 and 3. Payment cf fees for the summer
camp and summer practicum courses will be
made at the Office cf the Bursar Friday,
May 10 Heads of departments are again re-
quested to bring this matter to the atten-
tion of the students who plan to enroll
in the above courses*

PENN STATE COLLEGIAN TO BECOME A DAILY
The newly elected senior managing
board of the Penn State Collegian has re-
quested that the faculty and administra-
tive staff of the College be informed
through the Faculty Bulletin of the pro-
posed change in the Collegian from a
semi-weekly to a daily.
So that staff members will have full
knowledge of the background and the pro-
posed administrative and business setup
of the Daily Collegian, the Faculty Bul-
letin is printing the following communi-
cation received from the 1940-41 editor
and business manager of the new enter—
pri se ,
"The Penn State Collegian will be-
come a five— day— a— week, morning daily
paper next September pending authoriza-
tion of the incorporation charter by dis-
trict courts.
"With a daily paper the staff of the
Collegian can naturally increase its ser-
vice to the College community. If plans
materialize the Collegian will be a non-
profit corporation, with a board of di-
rectors composed of members of the facul-
ty and administrative officers. A grad-
uate adviser will be selected to serve as
a co— ordinator between the undergraduate
managing board and the Board of Directors.
"Under the proposed 1940-41 budget,
$1,000 has been cut from the 'salaries to
staff* item in the 1939-40 budget, in
spite of the fact that the daily paper
will entail additional work and responsi-
bility on the part of the staff.
"In the future any additional income
over the amount anticipated from adver-
tising and circulation revenue will 'go
back into the paper,' A sinking fund
will be established, and new equipment
will be purchased. As in the past the
accounting will be directed through the
Student Union office, and the books
audited annually by official College audi-
tors. It is our earnest desire that the
Collegian will show normal mechanical and
editorial advancement each year under this
plan.

An exception to the residence rule
was granted on the recommendation of the
Committee on Academic Standards for Miss
Eileen Hatfield.
A report from the Committee on Cour-
ses of Study presented at the April meet-
ing and .a new report containing new ma-
terial and corrections to the April re-
port were presented by the chairman, Pro-
fessor Kinsloe, The Registrar pointed
out that new courses included in Engi-
neering curricula for the sophomores,
juniors, and seniors were not sett up in
the report as new courses, nor are the
descriptions on file in his office. After
considerable discussion the motion to
adopt the two reports as presented by Pro-
fessor Kinsloe was withdrawn and a motion
to approve the two reports, with the ex-
ception of the upper three years in the
School of Engineering^ was adopted. Pro-
fessor Kinsloe announced that the de-
scription for tne new courses would be
presented at the June meeting of the Sen-
ate at which time action could also be
taken for the three upper years of the
curricula in the School of Engineering.
These rep.orts are on file in the Office
of the Registrar.
Dr. Dye, chairman of the Committee
on Rules, presented a report recommending
changes in the regulations for undergrad-
uate students insofar as they refer to
absences before and after vacations. The
report contained th <s fallowing recommenda-
tions:
A. That the following regulations be sub-
stituted for those now numbered 58 to 64
inclusive in the Regulati ons for Under- *
Graduate Students edition of 1939—40:
58. All students are expected to attend
to their assigned work until the beginning
of scheduled vacation periods and to re-
port promptly at the end of such periods.
A student who is absent from a scheduled
class during the 48 bourn preceding or
succeeding the Thanksgiving, Christmas,
or Easter vacation shall incur a special
fee of $5.
59. In the application of the foregoing
rule, inspection trips scheduled just be-
fore or just after vacations shall be con-
sidered as regular classes,
60 • No instructor has the right to dis-
miss any student before the end of the
class hour during this 48— hour period, ex-
cept that he may follow his established
practice^ if there be such, of permitting
students to leave the class upon. the com-
pletion of the assigned work for the class
period.
61. It shall be the duty of each instruc-
tor to report, on special blanks, all ab-
sences from his classes during the 43— hour
period just before or/and just after the
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vaca-
tions to the Accounting Division of the
College. All students who are reported
absent will be assessed the $5 fee.
62, Appeals from the application of the
special fee must be submitted promptly in
writing, accompanied by sufficient evi-
dence, to a special committee composed of
th« Bursar, the Director of the College
Health Service, the Dean of Men, and the
Dean cf Women.
63. The committee named in section 62 is
hereby empowered to establish or to change,
from time to time) administrative practices
for carrying these provision into effect
so that the operation of the system may be
■impartial, effective^ and just.
B. After "these regulations shall have been
adopted by the Senate, the Committee rec-
ommends that the Senate request that the
Board of Trustees be asked to approve the
following statement;
64, All money collected from the applica-
tion of rules 58 to 63 inclusive shall be
placed in the Student Loan Fund.
C, In order that the Senate may be in-
formed from time to time of the efficacy
of the rules now proposed, it is further
recommended by your committee that a spec-
ial committee of the faculty be appointed :
whose duty it shall be to observe and ap-
praise the workings of the system and re-
port its findings to the Senate.
In accordance with Senate procedures
the recommendations were tabled for con-
si deration at the meeting in June,
A special committee appointed by the
President to study the organization of
the Senate presented, through its chair-
man ,
the following
iport
During the pro; sent school year your
committee
held three meetings
at
which 'it has given careful consideration
to various proposals presented to it by
members of the faculty and to the results
of the questionnaire which it sent to a
representative group of colleges and uni-
versities. Despite comparatively little"
open criticism of the efficiency of the
Senate your committee finds an undercur-
rent of discontent arising largely from
three sources; first, the undemocratic
basis of representation in the Senate;
second, the almost total absence of dis-
cussion of questions of educational pol-
icy on the floor of the Senate; and third ;
the lack of any other body, such as a
General Faculty, where the opinions of
individual faculty members can find ex-

report be mimeographed and sent to
rs of the Senate.
Under the head of old business the
report of the Committee on Rules, as pre-
sented at the April meeting of the Senate,
was on motion adopted,, The report of the
committee is printed on the fourth page
of the issue of the Faculty Bulletin for
April 16, 1940.
Under the head of new business Dean
Kern presented certain regulations as
recommenda tions to the Senate by the
Graduate School faculty. The recommenda-
tions are as follows:
(l) That the following requirement —
"Residence requirements may be met
by 24 credits earned in two semesters, or
in one seme ster
Sessions, or in
s i c n s "
and 12 we
24 weeks
eks in Summer
in Summer Ses-
he amended to read as follows:
"Residence requirements may he met
hy 30 credits earned in two semesters, or
in one semester and 15 weeks in Summer
Sessions, or in 30 vre±s in Summer Se s-
s ions."
(2) That the provision that six credits
earned in another approved institution,
or in the extension classes of The Penn-
sylvania State College, may be offered in
partial fulfillment of the credit require-
ments be changed to three credits. The
amended regulation would read as follows:
"Candidates presenting credits earned
in other approved institutions, or in ex-
tension classes of The Pennsylvania State
College, may thus secure advanced standing
up to three credits provided they complete
the work for the degreee in two semesters,
one semester and 12 vreeks in Summer Ses-
sions, or in 27 weeks in Summer Sessions,
The credits must have the approval of the
Examiner, must fit into the program of the
student, and must come within the period
allowed for candidacy," ' | ;
Revisions are to be effective for
students admitted after publication in the |
next Announcement of the Graduate School
(1941-42) and the next Summer Session An-
noucement (1941), It is understood that
the former regulation is operative for
students previously registered who have
six credits previously earned.
In accordance with Senate regulations!
this recommendation, which is on file in
the Office of the Registrar, was tabled
for consideration at the June meeting of
the Senate,
Dr, Tanger, chairman of the Committee
on Academic Standards, presented the fol-
lowing recommendation :
It is recommended to the College Sen-
ate that the same minimum requirements for
a second bachelor's degree be enforced as
are required for the first bachelor's de-
gree at The Pennsylvania State College,
and that the period of residence for the
two bachelor's degrees may not run concur-
rently.
This action was' referred to the Com-
mittee on Rules and will be considered by
the Senate at the June meeting,

ATTENTION OF FACULTY MEMBERS IS CALLED TO NEW ADMISSION REdUIREMENTS
The attention of members of the fac-
ulty and especially that of the depart-
ment heads is called to the fact that
admission requirements for students who
transfer to us from other institutions
have been changed since March, 1940, Al-
though a few students were admitted in
recent years with one unremoved failure,
in view of their otherwise good scholas-
tic record, applicants from now on, who
have attended other institutions and wish
to transfer here, are not eligible for
admission if there is a' single unremoved
condition or failure in their record or
if they are en scholastic probation at
another institution,. All questions re-
garding the admission of advanced stand-
ing students should continue to be re-
ferred to the College Examiner as in the
past. However, it was felt that members
of the faculty might desire the above
information so that they could suggest
to the applicants who write to them that
it would be inadvisable to apply for ad-
mission unless their scholastic records
were entirely satisfactory,,

DOCKING DIP? j'CULTIES TO KEEP ARTISTS' COURSE FROM TWO-NIGHT EXPERIMENT
Despite efforts to book num-

finding it impossible to

In making this announcement,
jr. Carl E, karquardt, committee
chairman, indicated that such at-
tractions as Rachmaninoff and the
E o s t o n S ymph o ny O r c h c s t r a v/erc al-

the full season next year and were
unavailable for even a single per-

11 In reaching the decision to
abandon the plan to have the course

mittee has f e 1 1 t h at it w o u 1 d b e
more acceptable to present and po-

appointment that has" followed an
early sellout in recent years.
"As a result, we shall again
be faced with the necessity of a-
dapting the circumstances of our

NEW LIMITS TO BE PLACED ON ARTISTS' COURSE TICKET SALE
In view of the inabili

After a discussion of methods
of selling seats in which many
members of the committee partici-
pated, it was finally decided that
there was no way of handling the
ticket sale which would be less
objectionable than the plan used
last year. The committee was con-
scious of the criticism which had
been levelled at this method of
sals, but several spokesmen point-
sd out that after much public par-
ticipation in the discussion of
alternatives, no satisfactory and
practicable solution had been
found. The need for such a solu-
n will be even more pressing
ti o
next season, the committee appeared
to
now
to have even more popular appeal
than those on last year's course.
Considering this expected in-
creased demand, the committee
adopted a regulation limiting the
number of seats which might be
bought by any faculty member or
his proxy to four. At the sugges-
tion of the student members of the
committee, and to assure the stu-
dent body of the greatest possible
opportunity to purchase tickets
within the seats allocated to them,
students have been restricted to a
maximum of two seats. The abuse
of the privilege of buying six tick'
ets is believed to have placed stu-
dent seats in the hands of out-of-
towners at the expense of other mem-
bers of the study body.

cepting in the case of inclement
weather j in which event they will
be held in Recreation Hall, Fro-
fessor Julius Kaulfuss, acting
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Public Occasions, announces.
If weather necessitates holding
the exercises in Recreation Hall,
tickets of admission will be re-
quired for seats until 10:15 a.m.,
after which whatever seats remain
will be made available to the gen-
eral public.
No tickets of admission are
available for members of the fac-
ulty, their families, or friends.-
Faculty members must march in the
academic procession in order to
secure admission to Recreation
Hall.
To provide against the con-
tingency of inclement weather,
three tickets will be allotted
and will be distributed to each
senior and graduate student. With
the space required for the faculty
and graduating seniors and ad-
vanced students, this is expected
to exhaust the capacity of the
Hall.

GRADES FCR GRADUATING SENIORS DUE TOMORROW
All grades for graduating
sniors are due at the Registrar's
office tomorrow, Wednesday, June
5, at 5 p.m.
If grades are in the office
at the time designated, it is not
necessary for the recorders to
call for grades to complete rec-
ords where grade points are in-
sufficient and enables the office
to give final corrections to the
printer of the Commencement pro-
gram in time to meet our contract.
Last year, thanks to the co-
operation of all instructors,
grade sheets for all seniors who
were graduating were ready for
distribution before Commencement
Day. It Is our hope to do the
same thing this year.
Senior grades not reported
by 5 p.m. Wednesday will be con-
sidered as passing.
Other Grades
All grades are due at the
office of the Registrar one' week
after the final meeting of a class
for which no final examination is
scheduled, or one' week after the
final examination, except that all
grades are due at the office of the
Registrar not later than the Wed-
nesday following the clos'e 'of the

EMERGENCY NOTICE
Because of the need for additional trained air personnel, the
Federal Government has asked the College to duplicate the ground school
instruction made available to 30 students during the winter session. In
view of the present emergency, the College will undertake responsibility
for the training of 30 additional students under the Civil Aeronautics
Authority program. Actual flight instruction will again be given at the
State College Airport.
No further issues of The Collegian or of The Faculty Bulletin are
available to publicize this program, so faculty members are requested
to make announcements to this effect at the remaining examinations which
they may be supervising.
Students should be informed that further information about the pro-
ject and application blanks may be obtained from Professor H. A. Everett,
Director of the Civilian Pilot Training Program at the College, in the

Much of this publicity resulted from
the dispatches filed by staff correspon-
dents sent to the institution by the
leading wire services and metropolitan
newspapers. Among those present to re-
port the developments of the meetings
were Howard
Blakeslee. science editor
of the Associated Press; Marjorie Van de

staff correspondent of the New York Times;
Thomas R. Henry, science editor of the

and H. Rcgosin, member of the American
Psychological Association and correspon-
dent for Newsweek, The United Press and
the International News Service relied for
their coverage on the College news ser-
vice which, at times, had as many as five
members of its staff covering sessions
simultane ously.
Through day to day contacts with
these press representatives and through
informal conferences many valuable sug-
gestions for enhancing the efficacy of
the College research publicity program
have been brought to light. Throughout
these conversations the emphasis by the
professional newspaper men and women has
been upon the need for greater co-opera-
tion between individual members of the
staff and the College news service.

The reason for mentioning these
press reactions at this point is to
stress the statement made privately by
several members of the working press tc
members of the College news service and
by Mr. Blakeslee at an informal dinner
tendered him by members of the publicity
committee of the local chapter of Sigma
Xi, which, at the suggestion of the ad-
ministration, has been concerning itself
with ways of obtaining more adequate pub-
licity for research projects. At this
dinner Blakeslee was asked by members of
the scientific honorary society to make
suggestions whereby the scientific a—
enlevements of the College could be given
more publicity, primarily through news-
papers. He was questioned by Pr , Roy D.
Anthony, past president of the local
chapter and a member of the publicity
committee, in the absence of Dr. William
L. Henning, chairman.
In a frank discussion among members
of the society, the College publicity
director and Mr . Blakeslee, who represents
the most extensive news gathering organiz-
ation in the country, Blakeslee stated
that in his experience an institution
secured the most desirable publicity
for its research when, from the president
down to the youngest assistant, the value
of such publicity to the institution as a
whole and to each individual researcher
is thoroughly appreciated. Under such
conditions full co-operation between fac-
ulty members and the news service of the
institution follows as a matter of course,

Concretely, these are seven sugges-
tions made by Mr, Blakeslee and othar
attending science editors for publicizing
the scientific activities of the insti-
tution:
1, That all papers and reports
either published or given as speeches be
sent to the Department of Public Informa-
tion as a matter of routine, in the form
of carbon copies, mineographed copies,
or reprints. Speeches should be sent in
advance. Among colleges using this sys-
tem are Michigan and Cornell,
2, That someone be appointed in the
various departments to co-operate with
the Department of Public Information in
suggesting research that is suitable for
publicity purposes and in interpreting
that work whenever necessary,
3, That theses or dissertations
which have general news interest be
called to the attention of the Department
of Public Information bv the advisers of
such projects at an early date,
4, That copies of whatever speeches
seem newsworthy bjs sent by the Department
of Public Information to science editors,
and to editors of papers in the city
where the speech is being given, and 'that
the speaker have several copies with him
to supply to reporters at siich meetings,
5, That scientific material pro-
vided for publicity purposes lay emphasis
on the meaning of the research,
6, That the Department of Public
Information be placed on the mailing list
of scientific societies,
7, That commercial sponsors of re-
search projects be convinced that a news
item sent out from the College is worth
far more than their own advertising.
In the light of these observations,
the Department of Public Information for
the present academic year proposes to
place a renewed and possibly enlarged
emphasis upon the news of scientific and
research activities. Members cf the
staff will be called upon more frequently
to co-operate in the news publicity pro-
gram, A photo record of the research
activities in all the major departments
is projected to familiarize members of
our own staff with what is taking place
on our own campus in other departments.
Through the co-operation of the College
Library, which has approved the plan in

Without Discounting Advances Made, This Writer Finds
Science Reporting Still
In a Primitive Stage
By WALDEMAR KAEMPFFERT
Science Editor, the New York Times
**NY community gets precisely the kind
of newspapers that it can digest. The
faults of journalism are the faults of our
culture.
If 90 per cent of a city's inhabitants are
more interested in horse races, divorce
scandals, crime, gossip, than in electrical
engineering or atomic physics, then it is
of horse races, divorce scandals, crime,
and gossip that they will read.
According to Frederick Adams Wood,
who used to lecture on human heredity
at M. I. T., only two per cent of any popu-
lation supplies leaders in law, engineer-
ing, commerce, and politics. It is no sta-
tistical accident that the foremost news-
paper of the United States should have a
daily circulation of 375,000, which is about
two per cent of the literate in the metro-
politan region. There are cultural strata
in every community; there are news-
papers for each stratum. By their news-
papers may communities be judged.
1 T is the function of a newspaper to pub-
lish news. A truism? Yes, but it needs re-
stating. Publishers of newspapers some-
times forget it. Hence, the reliance on
comic strips and columnists to win and
hold readers. It is easy to find comic
strips and publish witty columns. But
news? It is hard to gather, hard to ap-
praise, hard to present for the many. It
must be judged both quantitatively and
qualitatively. For news must be abun-
dant, varied, and accurate.
But what is news? Anything that satis-
fies human curiosity. The editors will
agree on the news value of King George's
death, the racial policies of the Nazis,
Mussolini's activities in Ethiopia, the kid-
naping of a millionaire, the decision of
the Supreme Court on the constitutional-
ity of the National Recovery Act, the
assassination of a Balkan king in Mar-
seilles, the outcome of a prize fight for
the heavy-weight championship of the
world.
But the cosmic rays or the neutron?
Only in recent years have they begun to
realize that the discoveries made in scien-
tific laboratories, the new advances in
engineering are news — great news, per-
haps the greatest news of our time. Some
20 years ago there were only five so-called
science editors in the country. Now there
are five times that number. The numeri-
cal increase is an omen.
Despite this growth of the news interest
in science there is still much inadequate
J. HERE is no beat more potentially productive of significant
and at the same time absorbing stories than the science beat.
Yet, for reasons outlined in the accompanying article by Walde-
mar Kaempffert, science editor of the New York Times and one
of the country's best known science writers, many such stories
either are untouched or do not receive wide popular reading.
For 30 years, Mr. Kaempffert has been popularizing science
and engineering. He was editor of the Scientific American for
18 years and of Popular Science Monthly for five years. He was
the first director of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chi-
cago and laid out the plan now being followed in developing
that institution.
He is the author of "The New Art of Flying," one of the earlier
books on aviation, also of "A History of Astronomy," "A Popular
History of American Invention," "Science Today and Tomor-
row," recently published, and of numerous popular articles on
science, engineering and industry which have appeared in the
leading periodicals of the United States, England. France and
Germany. He writes all the editorials on science and engineer-
ing which appear in the New York Times and conducts for that
paper the weekly science department which is used by many
schools.
Waldemar Kaempffert
reporting of the discoveries made by great
physicists and biologists. The reasons are
two. One is the tradition that a good re-
porter can write on anything from the
collision of two trains to the transmuta-
tion of matter. The other is that "human
interest" comes before everything.
Both of these tenets are repugnant to
every scientist, apart from the manner of
presentation. He wants facts. He insists
that a man must know what he is writing
about. "Human interest" entertains him,
as it does every normal being. But in
science, especially in physics, humanity
counts for nothing. Every first-class as-
tronomer prays nightly: "Please God. do
not let us discover evidence of intelligent
life on Mars." Life, especially human life,
is a nuisance in the exact sciences. If
there were intelligent beings on Mars —
super-engineers who can dig canals as the
late Prof. Percival Lowell postulated —
the door would be opened wide for specu-
lation.
Only the editors of the great metropoli-
tan dailies have learned to accept this
view. Hence, the insistence on factual re-
porting by specialists. As a result we hear
less of the mythical "wizards" of the labo-
ratory and more about the meaning of dis-
coveries in the onward sweep of culture
and of society. Neutrons, electrons, pro-
tons, atomic numbers and masses, the
expanding universe — they are the prin-
cipals in exciting articles that sometimes
"make" the front page.
/\LL this is part of the journalistic trend
toward specialization. Despite the best
efforts of newspapers to avoid the depart-
mentalization of their journals the spe-
cialists will not be denied. Financial edi-
tors, sports writers, dramatic critics, book
reviewers, commentators on motion-pic-
ture plays, music writers, automobile
THE QUILL for April. 1940
editors, art critics, society columnists —
their number is already legion.
There are still brilliant reporters who
write on politics and football with equal
facility. But the day of the universal
genius is definitely over on the great
dailies. This applies to editorial writers
as well as to reporters. A reporter is sup-
posed to state only the facts. But the edi-
torial writer expresses opinions. He is a
critic. And as a critic, he of all men must
know the facts, and he of all journalists
must be a specialist.
The universities may well claim some
of the credit for the higher standards now
set by popular scientific journalism.
There was a time when a physicist or a
biologist regarded himself as an Egyptian
high priest. "This is my temple," he said
in effect to the reporter who crossed the
threshold of the laboratory, "do not defile
it with your presence." He would rarely
stoop to write a popular article even for a
monthly magazine.
There is less of that aloofness now. The
professor willingly gives a little lecture
over the telephone on astrophysics in re-
sponse to a request for information, es-
pecially when he is assured that he will
not be quoted. From the press bureaus
of the great universities come well-pre-
pared, simply worded statements that
make the science reporter's task easier. If
he has a literary conscience, if he takes
any pride in his own work, he will not
copy a "hand out" word for word. It is
a foundation on which a specialist can
build without distorting the facts and yet
impart a flavor of his own.
OO it is with the great corporations.
Some of the finest scientific work of our
time is done in their laboratories. They,
too, are creators of news. Their publicity
departments know it, conducted as they
are by ex-newspaper men; and so it hap-
pens that the corporation press agent
often sends out announcements about
new vapor lamps, developments in tele-
vision, remarkable plastic compounds —
announcements as important as those
that come from the universities.
Unfortunately, the corporation bally-
hooers are under constant pressure from
sales promotion departments. Hence, a
slightly improved sad iron is acclaimed as
fervently as if it ranked with the inven-
tion of the telephone. The newspapers
find no difficulty in sifting mere adver-
tising from scientific news. Because
they have no such eye for the main
chance and because they are under pro-
fession control (so far as approval of their
utterances is concerned) the university
publicity men fare better.
There is also Science Service, a non-
profit-making agency which was founded
by the late E. W. Scripps, himself a news-
paper owner, to disseminate the news of
the laboratory and the observatory. It
does its work well and is especially useful
to the small-town papers. But the large
dailies rely more on their own staffs of
specialists.
Then comes the Associated Press, which
has of late years, paid more and more
attention to science and technology. Its
staff is still so small that it does not pre-
tend to cover thoroughly the vast field of
science from mathematical physics to
genetics. It misses more good science
news than it transmits over its wires.
Moreover, it is hampered by the neces-
sity of dealing with 1,200 newspapers
ranging from the best to the worst, from
the largest to the smallest. How fortunate
are the science writers of the New York
dailies in comparison! They can discuss
Einstein ian mass-energy equivalents, the
transmutation of bismuth into radium E
in terms of atomic numbers and masses
and soar into what is at least the strato-
sphere if not the heaven of scientific
journalism.
Lastly, there are the scientifi and en-
gineering conventions at which important
papers are read. Usually a press bureau
sees to it that abstracts are handed out
and the papers themselves made available
if need be. Even a technically untrained
reporter can go far with the aid thus lent.
He may fail to see the significance of
some paper because of a forbidding tech-
nical title, but there is no excuse for in-
accuracy on his part.
JL ET, despite all these facilities, science
reporting is still in a primitive stage.
The men are for the part technically
untrained. They must cover too wide
a field. To leap from the Jeans-Edding-
ton hypothesis of the annihilation of
matter in stars to anthropology — breathes
there the man who can do it and not start
in his sleep, wondering for what' error
he will be reproved by some captious
writer of letters to the editor?
The day is coming — and it is not so
very distant — when at least two pages
will be devoted every day to science and
technology in a first-class newspaper.
There will be a demand for technically
trained specialists. Instead of one or two
men, the scientific reportorial staff will
comprise a dozen, each a Ph.D. perhaps,
each certainly a graduate of a technical
school or of a university where he has
specialized in some science.
But a new public is also needed. The
one we have is appallingly ignorant of
even the elements of science, despite the
homespun knowledge it has acquired of
household electric circuits, automobiles,
and cameras. The reporters and the edi-
tors must now rack their brains for sim-
iles, word pictures, analogues.
How is relativity to be explained to
readers who cannot think in terms of any-
thing but Euclidian space? How are the
tenets of wave mechanics to be driven
home? How can the discovery of the
positron be linked with Dirac's mathe-
matical prediction of its existence by
methods still so recondite that only a
few experts in the field of higher mathe-
matics understand them?
X HE science writer is not equipped by
training or knowledge (with perhaps
three exceptions on all the papers in the
country) to understand the mathematical
argument. And if he were, his public
would fail him. He finds himself in the
position of a man who is asked to explain
a new symphony in words. It cannot be
done. There is nothing for it but to sum-
mon the orchestra and play the score —
nothing for it but to print the equations.
Like music, mathematics is a language in
itself.
And yet, such are the strange turns of
journalistic fate, that equations some-
times are printed. When, for example,
Einstein's first attempt at a unitary field
theory became known the whole mathe-
matical argument, symbols and all, was
cabled across the Atlantic for publication
in New York. It required an expert at the
transmitting end to reduce the equations
to a form that could be transmitted and
another at the receiving end to relate
them properly to one another in the final
"copy."
Yet not 20 readers out of the hundreds
of thousands who saw the theory thus
scientifically expounded could under-
stand what appeared. Here is "news in-
terest" pushed to the extreme. When rel-
ativity was first discussed in any paper —
13 years after the special theory had be-
come familiar to every good mathematical
physicist, be it noted — the baffled reporter
could do little more than write of a mys-
terious revolution that had occurred in
human thinking. Time-space? Fourth di-
mensions? Light from a star bent aside
by the sun on its way to the earth? No
wonder he was staggered.
Since the advent of Einstein he has had
much harder things to worry about — the
puzzles of nuclear physics, for example,
the theories of de Broglie, Schroedinger,
and Heisenberg. He becomes aware not
only of his own deficiencies but of those
of his readers, too.
X HE difficulties of popularizing physics
will never be overcome. But it is some-
things that newspaper editors and report-
ers are beginning to realize that a de-
scription of Einstein as a bright-eyed,
absent-minded man with white fuzzy hair,
who smokes an English pipe and talks on
pacifism now and then is not an elucida-
tion of relativity. What shall be done in
the absence of a mathematically educated
public? Dwell on the philosophic conse-
quences. It is what Russell, Jeans, Ed-
dington, Reichenbach, de Sitter, and
others have done to explain the new sys-
tems of mathematical lcgi. There is no
other formula.
But this in turn brings us back to the
public. And the public, in this case means
not the devourers of the "he-and-she"
stories of the tabloids but the college
graduates, the engineers, the business
men, the educated class. Yes, even the
scientists. For what does the geneticist
know of quantum theory? Or the bota-
nist of astrophysics? Or the engineer of
biology?
It is evident that we face here a prob-
lem in education. The newspapers are
helpless. They are not free of all re-
sponsibility; for they, too, educate in their
way. It is to the high schools, the univer-
sities that we must look for a new type
of newspaper reader, the type that can

understand good science reporting and
sound editorial comment on science.
Must the whole world, then, receive an
education in physics, chemistry, biology,
and geology if science is to be more ef-
fectively treated in the press? Hardly. It
is not the business of the English depart-
ment of a college to turn out poets and
dramatists or of the history department to
make historians of students. English, his-
tory, economics are taught as cultural sub-
jects. So should it be with science, some
effort at correlating philosophy with
physics, chemistry, and biology, some
revelation of the manner in which the
human mind has progressed in its think-
ing about matter, trees, stars, the winds,
the universe and life since the day when
the first primitive savage saw the sun rise
out of the east and plunge into the ocean
on the western horizon.
There are old cries to be answered —
cries that have been wrung from human
throats ever since there were brains and
voices.
What does it all mean? Why am I here?
They are the same old questions. More
and more is it the business of science to
answer them. And in answering it must
of necessity become philosophical.
Give us college and university gradu-
ates with this broad philosophic outlook
and we shall have more and more science
in the newspapers and better presenta-
tion. Can't you see the headlines on the
front page, if the universities would only
forget that science is not made for
scientists alone?

The Senate voted to -approve' cert air-
regulations concerning absences before
and after vacations. These- regulations,
as adopted, became Rules 58 to 63 of the
Regulations Affecting Undergraduate Stu-
dents, 1940-41 edition (Copies of the
regulations are available for all faculty
members at the Office of the Registrar).
The following recommendation from
the Graduate School was adopted:
"Candidates presenting credits earned
in other approved 'institutions, or in ex-
tension classes of The Pennsylvania State
College, may thus secure advanced stand-
ing up to three credits provided they com-
plete the work" for the degree in two se-
mesters, one semester and 12 weeks in sum-
mer sessions, r>r in 27 weeks in summer
sessions. The credits must have the ap-
proval of the Examiner, must fit into the
program of the student, and must come wit]
in the period allowed for candidacy."
The S e nate adopted a re— wording of a
rule in the Regulations Affecting Under-
graduate Students 1939-40 by addinga
t
"In the cases of those students who
desire tc earn a second Bachelor's degree,
regulation No. 79 applies and the periods
of residence for the first and for the sec
ond degree may net be taken concurrently,"

EXHIBIT OF SELF-PORTRAITURE THROUGH THE AGES NOT/
Koko schka ,
The story of the way artists have
seen themselves in paint, sculpture, and
other mediums from the time of the Phar-
oahs to the present day is the theme of
an educational exhibition, " Self -Portrai-
ture through the Ages," which opens to-
day, Tuesday, October 8, and will contin-
ue through October 23 in the College Art
Gallery, 303 Main Engineering, Prepared
by the Division of Education of the Phila-
delphia Museum of Art, the exhibition con-
sists of 54 photographic enlargements of
the world's greatest masterpieces of
self— portraiture.
A new method of making ideas in art
stimulating and meaningful to the average
...an has been employed in this exhibition,
according to the announcement of Pro —
lessor J.' Burn Helme. The story is de-
veloped chronologically beginning with
the self-portrait of Ni-ankh Ptah, an
Egyptian artist of 2650 P. C,, and con-
cluding with self-portraits of such 20th
century artists of international reputa-
tion as Matisse, Edvard Munch, Paula
Moder sohn-Be cker , Max Beckmann, Oskar
<iT COLLEGE ART GALLERY
Modigliani, and Picasso.
Early Christian times and the self-
effacing midieval era are both represented
by a single self-portrait. The 400 years
beginning with the 15th century
tists began to mirror
quently in their art,
to the end of the 19th
, when ar —
themselves more ire —
and continuing up
century are repre-
sented by 40 self-portraits. Most of the
famous names in art since the Gothic age
are included. Some of these are Memling,
Purer, the older Brueghel, Titian, Tin-
toretto, El Greco, Velasquez, Goya, Corot
Degas, and Cezanne. Five of the 64 known
self —portrait s of Rembrandt form an im-
portant section of the exhibition. The
photographic reproductions of the por-
traits are accompanied by brief word de-
scriptions which explain the works of art
and interpret their significance in sim-
ple • language easily understood by the
layman.
The gallery is open daily except
Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The
public is cordially invited.

PAUL ROBESON, CELEBRATED AMERICAN BASS-BARITONE,
SIGNED AS OPENING NUMBER ON ARTISTS' COURSE
Seeking to provide a program this
year which would rival or excel last
year's series, the current Artists'
Course will begin with a concert by Paul
Robeson, noted American bas s— bar it one ,
Pr « Carl E. Marquardt, committee chair-
man, announced today. Robeson, 'whose
rendition of " 01 ' Man River" and Negro
spirituals over the radio and on the
stage and screen has won him world—wide
acclaim, will appear in State College on
Monday evening, December 9.
The return of Paul Robeson to the
concert stage is described as the big
news of the current music season. After
four triumphant years in Europe, he re-
cently began a cr o s s— country tour in
America with an initial concert at his
alma mater, Rutgers. It was no mere geo-
graphical convenience that started his
tour at New Brunswick, his manager said,
because it was at Rutgers that he won his
Phi Beta kappa key in his junior year and
was hailed as the greatest defensive end
that ever trod the gridiron.
At Carnegie Hall, where he gave his
first concert on October 6, every avail-
able space was packed with standees, in-
cluding the rear of the boxes and the
rear of the orchestra and the balconies.
Pew artists before the American public
have received the moving reception which
was tendered to Robeson. It was several
minutes before the concert could begin.

STAFF TAKES STEPS TO FACILITATE PUBLICITY
FOR RESEARCH* MEMBERS CITE SPECIFIC GAIN£
That the efforts of the Sigma Xi
Committee on Publicity for Research and
the endeavor of the Department of Public
Information to stimulate a greater inter-
est on the part of members of the staff
in publicity for research projects are
already bearing fruit is witnessed by
several major developments of the past
few- weeks :
associated with Johns Hopkins University;
a research chemist in Florida; the Miami
Chamber of Comma r ce ; . an interested indi-
vidual who at this writing has not been
more specifically identified; and the
Biochemical Foundation of the Franklin
Institute, Philadelphia,
Dr. West lake made this statement:
1. The Department of Education and
Psychology, signalizing the success of
his efforts to interpret psychology to
the lay public, has designated Professor
Fdward B. van Orrner as a permanent point
of contact between the Department of Edu-
cation and Psychology and the Department
of Public , Information and local publica-
tions,
2. The Division of Sociology has
commissioned. Prof ess or Duane V. Ramsey
to perform a like mission for sociology*
Meanwhile comments testifying to
the specific value of publicity for re-
search projects have continued to be re-
ceived from individual members of the
staff.
. Due in part to Professor van Orrner 's
efforts, a news story concerned with the
background of a book on statistics by Dr.
C. C. Peters, director of educational re-
search, and Walter R. VanVoorhis was dis-
tributed to Sunday papers of October 13,
It was published in brief form on the
educational -pages of Sunday's New York
T ime s .
"The very first day after it ap— •
peared I received 12 letters inquiring
about the book and its publisher," Dr.
Peters told the publicity department.
Further testimony of the value of
news publicity in the establishment of
new and valuable professional contacts
is found in the experience and comments
of two other members of the staff, Pro-
fessor Helmut Landsberg of the School of
Mineral Industries and Dr. Harold 'Test-

"The publicity given last year t'o my
work with deaf children made some very
valuable contacts for me. The articles
brought 'letter's which put me in touch
with people who had worked on the same
problems or related problems, and as a
result. I had the benefit of their exper-
ience on the subject. Letters also came
from schools for the deaf, as well as
from people who were merely interested
in the hearing problem. Probably I could
have made these contacts in no other way,'
Latest of the major scientific sto-
ries released was a story dealing with
the research work of Dr. Pauline Beery
Mack, which summarized her findings on
individual case studies among families of
various' income status as relating the
month of birth to the development of the

As a matter of fact, clippings from
a number of these papers (not included in
the totals shown above) were sent to Mrs*
Mack by friends located in various parts
of the country, Mr s . Mack's independent
survey indicated that two Harrisburg
papers used the story, one paper in Hew
York, one in St. Louis, one in Minneapo-
lis, one in Berkeley, and two in Tulsa,
Oklahoma. "They were all sent in by
friends except one, which I saw myself,"
she said. Before the publicity depart-
ment was in a' position to report publica-
tion in 26 papers, Mrs. Mack observed
that the story is "having at least some-
what good coverage."
It appears evident that the interest
of the faculty can be more readily en-
listed through the recital of specific
instances of advantages gained through
the release of ne"W5 material. For that
reason The Faculty Bulletin will continue
to publish, from week to week as space
permit s, additional reports on success—
* *
ful news stories, particular ly of the
scientific type, and will attempt to out-
line ' other methods whereby news of this
kind may be brought closer to publica-
tion,

In its more intensive efforts to
publicize research on the campus, the
College has just received an invitation
from The Pittsburgh press to prepare for
the consideration of the editors of that
paper pictorial layouts representing in-
teresting activities of various types. The
request included specific suggestions to
include pictorial narratives having to
do with research and a promise was made
to use the layouts, if acceptable, week
after "week as long as they seemed inter-
esting. No specific number of layouts
terms in appealing to the readership of
its roto section.
To study the problem of publiciz-
ing the School of the Liberal Arts more
effectively, Dean Charles U, Stoddart
last week appointed a committee consist-
ing of Professor Jacob Tanger and Pro-
fessor Franklin C. Banner. They have al-
ready met with members of the news staff
and will probably report to the faculty
of the School of the Liberal Arts at
an early date .

EXHIBITION OF WOOD CARVINGS FROM OBERAMMERGAU
NOW ON VIEW IN COLLEGE LIBRARY
A collection of small wood
carvings from the Bavarian village
of Oberammergau is now on view in
the College Library and will re-
main there until November 25.
The collection of about 61
objects consists of several groups,
the most notable being the Christ-
mas Creche and the copy of the
Regensberger Madonna, the original
of which has been transferred to
the Munich National Museum,
' "The carving, 'The Last Sup-
per,' executed in most minute de-
tail and encased in a shrine, il-
lustrates the delicacy and feeling
the artist has in working this
medium," the announcement states,'
"Although the inhabitants of Ober-
ammergau are" renowned for their
dramatization of the Passion Flay
and their wood " carvings, the lat-
ter are usually associated with
religious subjects! in the minds of
.the general public. However, the
little figures of children and
animals give evidence of their
skill also. Such carvings as the
does. ..the horses,, the colts, and
the barnyard group gathered around
the watering trough express the
artists' love of simple beauty and
reflect their peaceful surround-
ings ."
The exhbition Is circulated
by Blanche A. Byerly of Westport,
Connecticut, and will be on tour
for the rest of the season in var-
ious parts of the country.

JASCHA HEIFETZ TO APPEAR ON ARTISTS' COURS3
Jascha Heifetz, world-famous'
violinist who has traveled more
than 1,350,000 miles to, give Con-
certs' to audiences all over the
world," will appear on this, year's
Artists '' Course progTam February
11, 1941, Dr. Carl EV Marquardt,
committee chairman, announced to-
day. The announcement of the
Heufetz appearance completes the
program for the current series.
The Heifetz concert will provide
an opportuni ty 'f or local subscrib-
ers to compare his technique with
Kreisler's. Both of them have
been called the world's greatest
violinists.
"I have never known a musi-
cian with more artistic integrity,"
Deems Taylor has said of Heifetz.
"He has reached the point, I think,
that every great artist, creative
or interpretative, must reach; the
point where he has achieved such
mastery of his craft that he knows
he will never completely master it.
He plays the violin so well that
he knows what a lesser artist will
never know; how good violin play-
ing might be . . , and . . .he is still
learning to play. He has only one
rival, one violinist whom he is
trying to beat: Jascha Heifetz."
Members of the State College
audience who saw the violinist in
Samuel Goldwyn's production "They
Shall Have Music" when it appeared
here last winter will be interest-
ed to know that Heifetz's decision
t© appear in it was based on his
belief that motion pictures are a
logical medium for the introduc-
tion cf gfcod hnusi c to countless
new auHienc.es. .> Educators voted
the film. the. greatest single con-
tribution to- an appreciation of
qood music that''h;
thus far been
made by motion pictures, and the
critics agreed,
I Born in 1001, Heifetz began
to study violin at the age of
three. He made his public concert
debut at seven, playing the Men-
delssohn Concerto. Shortly after-
wards he gave a recital in P'etro-
grad and a concert with the sym-
phony orchestra in Odessa. At 10
he launched his career in Berlin
by making his first major appear-
ance with the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra, substituting for the
scheduled performer on only 24
hours notice. He played the
Tschaikovsky Concerto, which he
had never before given in public,
with such success that he was en-
gaged to play in other concerts in
Leipzig and Vienna,
At the age of 16 he made his
American debut at Carnegie Hall,
playing so brilliantly that he was
hailed by critics as the greatest
talent of his generation. Since
then he has made four world con-
cert tours. Today he is acclaimed
for his perfection of technique,
his purity of style, and his beau-
ty of tone.
Other numbers on this year's
program include Paul Robeson, Anna
Kaskas, and the Cleveland Symphony,

ARTISTS' COURSE TO RESTRICT TICKETS TO TOTAL OF THREE TO AN IWDI7IDUA
In an effort to correct the abuses
which were noted in the Artists' Course
ticket sale last 'year, the Committee has
voted to restrict the sale of seats to a
maximum of three per individual, Dr , Carl
E, Marquardt, chairman, announced today.
The purpose of the new regulation is to
prevent tickets from going outside the
college community while hundreds of stu-
dents find it impossible to obtain seats
for the course. The new plan also looks
toward a more equitable distribution
among those who have waited long hours
to obtain their seats*
"In recent years the concern of the
Artists' Course has been not so much to
sell tickets," the chairman stated, "as
to see that they are sold to the persons
for whom they are primarily intended;
namely, the student body of the College,
the faculty and staff,' and the residents
of the town. Throughout the history of
the course the effort has been made to
make the course essentially a community
project. The committee is glad to accom-
modate persons other than those mentioned
above after the needs of this primary,
clientele have been taken care of."
Dr , Marquardt also stated that the
committee voted this year to use a writ-
ten proxy, to be presented by students
serving for faculty or staff members or
townsper sons, so that there would be some
greater assurance that the early sales
would be restricted to members of the
college community. The proxy form, which
is made a part of the new brochures to be
distributed this week, provides a space for
indicating for whom the tickets are being
purchased. Separate proxy forms will
also be available at the Student Union.
The ticket window has been instructed by
the committee to refuse to .sell seats to
individuals believed not to be faculty
members or townsper sons, on the day re-
served for that type of sale, if a writ-
ten proxy for whom they are purchased is
not presented. This form requires the
signature of the person named,,
A further regulation designed to
guarantee a maximum sale to students and
faculty— townsper sons on. the days of their
respective sales prevents a student ser-
ving as a proxy for a faculty member from
buying seats for students on the day of
the faculty sale. The day of the stiident
sale will be Wednesday, December 4, The
faculty sale will be Thursday, December
5, Alternate .rows will again be reserved
for students and faculty— townspersons and
130 additional seats are this year being
made available through the use of stage
seats, A ticket entitling the holder to
a stage seat for the three sola numbers
will provide for a seat in the foyer for
the performance of the orchestra. Seats
will be priced at $5,50, $4,50, and $3,50
per series of four numbers.
"The committee is not unconscious of
the inconveniences imposed by the present
method of selling tickets," Dr. Marquardt
stated. "The whole "matter has again re-
ceived thorough discussion, and -where
methods prdmising improvements have been
suggested they have been speedily adopted.
As yet no method has been suggested which
promises to eliminate the early formation
of lines of subscribers to the course
without raising other equally troublesome
problems. But the committee itself feels
that other subscribers should be made
aware of the fact that it adopts no leg-
islation and no regulations which are not
also binding on its members, many of whom
give long hours in a sincere attempt to
make the course successful,"

rriv;
iloffman, Registrar
trar, requested for the first time on any

versally requested item.
Records from an individual school
are reduced to index numbers, A typical
index number for next year's admission
is that for the West York High School.
It is :
The certification privilege Is ex-
tended to a Pennsylvania secondary school
on the basis of the record made by its
graduates, as freshmen, during the four .
years preceding the admission of an in-
coming class* On this basis exactly 50
public high schools, one vocational high
school, and nine private schools have
lost the certification privilege for
their entire graduating class. Thirty-
four schools may have the applicant who
ranks in the upper fifth of his class
admitted on certificate provided he re-
ceives the special recommendation of the
principal. Two hundred and fourteen
schools have the upper fifth applicant
automatically eligible by certification.
Thirty— seven schools have the upper fifth
certified and the second fifth eligible
for certification provided those so
ranked receive the special recommendation
of the principal. Exceptional schools
are those certified for the entire grad-
uating class, or for the upper four
fifths. One public high school, one
vocational high school, and two private
schools have certification extending
over their entire graduating classes.
Six public high schools and. one private
school are certified for the upper four
fifths of the graduating class.
All these certifications are for
« one year .only, and all secondary schools
represented in the last four freshman
classes are at this time receiving let-
ters indicating just what their certifi-
cation privilege fcr next summer will bo.
< Certification is based on a compar—
'ison of rank in a high school graduating
class and rank in the freshman class.

class was first requested by The Pennsyl-

FACULTY SALE- -FOR ARTISTS' COURSE BEGINS THURSDAY;
STUDENT PROXIES MUST HAVE WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION
Artists' Course series tick-
ets for members of the faculty and
staff and for townspersons will go
on sale Thursday morning, Dr, Carl
El Marquardt, committee chairman,'
reminded faculty members this""
morninq. Students will. have had
an opportunity to buy seats in
their part of- the house the day
before. If any 's'eats remain in
the student'' sect'ion, which seems
un likely 1 n, v i e w„ o f last yea r ' s
experience, these, too, will be
made available to members of the
faculty and staff at the Thursday
safe. The* ticket windows in Old
Main will, open at 8 a.m.. and the
sale will continue until noon, un-
le:
the house is sold out before
that time. If s'eats remain, the
sale' will continue .In the after-
noon, from 1:30 to 5 p.m.- A con-
tinuance of the sale on Friday J s R
predicated on the availability of
tickets at the completion of
Thursday's sales. .'■ ■■
Dr. Marquardt again called
attention to the fact that faculty...
and staff members and townspersons
may use students as proxies, but
pointed out that any one student
would not be eligibleto buy more'' '
than three seats. No student
seats will be sold to students on
the day of the faculty sale. To
obtain such seats, students must
appear at the windows on the day
of the student sale. Also, Dr.
Marquardt reminded, it will be
necessary this year for the fac-
ulty member or towns per son de-
siring seats through a student
to fill in and sign a proxy form
such as is found on the next to the
last page of the brochure describ-
ing the course or such as is en-
closed with this issue of The Fac-
ulty Bulletin. To protect patrons
of the course insofar as it is
able, the c6mmfttee has authorized
H. R. Gilbert., who/wi'll be in
charge of. the sale, t© withhold
t i eke ts '. from - any student who con-
tends he is buying them for a fac-
ulty member or town spears on but who
does not present the form indicat-
ing, that they ^have authorized him
to serve as .their pro'xy, ■-
In summary, Dr. Marquardt
pointed out- that the course this
year would consist of four numbers:
1 ) Paul Robeson
...,£:.) Jascha Heifetz
3) Cleveland Orchestra
4 ). Anna Kaskas
and that' tickets would-be priced
at $5.50, $4.50, and $3.50. He
stated, further, that the capacity
of the Auditorium is being enlarged
by 130 seats through the addition
"of' stage seats for the three solo
number's. Holders of stage seats
for these three numbers will be en-
titled to seats in the foyer for
the performance of the orchestra.
The first number on the course
will be given Monday evening, De-
cember 9, at which time Paul Rebe-
ls
avai lable
.on will appear. It is unlikely
that seats will be
single numbers •

A facsimile of the grade report re-
cently mailed to Coudersport High School
is an insert in this issue of the Bulle-
tin, The chart, prepared each year for
a period of over a decade, was originally
printed in black ink, but for the past
three years, at the suggestion of presi-
dent Harper of Wyomissing Polytechnic
Institute, ha s ^been ■ printed in red. The
•use of red ink on the graph makes the
names inserted upon it much more easily •
seen.
The chart is essentially of three
parts: a grade scale, at the left; a
t e nths— of— the— clas s scale, at the right;
and a graph of average grade distribu-
tions "for each fifth of. the high school
graduating classes, with the Widths of
the several rectangles proportionate to
the size of the group. This makes the
rectangle for the distribution of aver-
ages for those ranked in the first fifth
of their graduating class, 836 in number,
just about twice as wide as that for
those ranking in the second fifth, of
■ ' ■- * *
whom there were 415, . .
Each rectangle is divided into four
parts, indicating, beginning from the top,
the upper quarter of the group, the sec-
ond quarter, third, and fourth. Arrows
indicate the top and bottom five individ-
uals. To me it is interesting to note
that the spread of average for the bottom
five individuals, who had been ranked in
the top fifth of their high school grad-
uating class, is greater than the spread
of either of the middle quarters.
In sending a report to a 'high school,
the names of freshmen from that school
are inserted opposite the point on the
grade scale where their averages would
place them.

I know of only one other college
which sends out such an objective report.
The University of Pittsburgh plots a nor-
mal curve of averages for all those
freshmen who were ranked in the upper,
•two fifths of their high school graduat-
ing olarsses. Names ar,e inserted at the
appropriate points, hut there is no way
of seeing i'n which fifth of his class, a
student had been ranked by his high
school. In this respect. I believe my
.grade report to be better, but'the Pitts-
burgh graph is better in that it repre-
sents much more clearly the distribution
of averages than does mine,

COLLEGE LIBRARY EXHIBITING TEXTBOOKS
An* exhibition of "Sixty Textbooks
of 1940" sponsored by t he ..American Insti-
tute of Graphic Arts, is being displayed
in the College Library until this Satur-
day, December 7,
The jury^which selected the text-
books from a total of 278 submitted by
60 publisher s ,. was comprised of Dr, W, B.
Featherst one, professor of education at
Teachers College, Columbia University;
John Benbow, director of the manufactur-
ing department of Longmans, Green and Co,;
and Arthur Williams, production manager
of Little, Brown, and Co, They chose the
books from the point of view of the cover
material, choice of paper and type, legi-
bility and attractiveness of the page,
typographic design throughout, the book's
fitness to present its ideas successfully,
and the success with which the designer
met the problems of manufacture.
Selected for physical format rather
than literary content, the books range
from an elementary song book to advanced,
college chemistry. They are interide'd to
show- "art'istic and technical excellence"
and to raise the general level of text-
book production in this- country.

COURSE CHANGES 'WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE SENATE APPROVAL
S'enate approval is not required, for
the change of an instructor in a graduate
or undergraduate course, providing the
course has been previously approved by
the Senate, according to Professor
Charles L. Kinsloe, chairman of the Sen-
ate Committee on Courses of Study.':
He was prompted to make this state-
ment because of the relatively large num-
ber of request's that have been coming to
the attention of his committee to approve
such recommendations.
The change of an instructor's nam*
in catalogue material is regarded as .an
editorial change, as is'a shifting of the
course from one semester to the other in
the course description materia"! prepared
for College publications.
Department he a ds,^ however , are urged
to exercise caution in switching courses
from one semester to the other when these
courses are list'ed as required in certain
of the curricula.
Under a new regulation adopted by the
Council of Administration on December 2,
•1940, the closing date for th« inclusion
of material in the first semester time-
table will.be the. secqnd Monday in March
and for inclusion in the second semester
timetable the second .Monday in October,

GRADING IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
.by William S, Hoffman
The index numbers computed by the
registrar each year for the secondary
schools of the state are essentially a
comparison of grades in secondary school
with those made during the freshman class
■in college. There are almost as many
grading systems as there are schools, or
even departments, and comparison here is
therefore limited to that of rank in
c 1 a s s..
The .computation of an index number

This comparison is in the figures 2378X,
which actually say what is given in the
following tabulation:

An index with numbers arranged ae
was the above (2378X) I call rational,
simply because each fifth of the class
has maintained its same relative position
in college, A non-rational index number
is one where the positions of all or of
some are reversed/ as in 238X7 or X7842,
How often are these index numbers
rational? Or, in other. words, how often
do the faculty at Penn State place their
freshmen in the same relative order as
they were placed en the basis of their
secondary school record?
In answering these questions I have
considered three groups of schools: those
schools sending 20 or more students during
the past four years; those sending 10 to
19; and those sending just two, but in
different fifths of their secondary school
graduating class,
A total of 71 schools sent us, dur-
ing the four years preceding the admission
of the present freshman class, 20 or more
students, 49 or 69 per cent have ra-
tional numbers. If we indicate rank in
the freshman class in fifths instead of
in tenths, 59 or 83,5 per cent are ra-
tional for each fifth of the high' school
class. If we compare only first fifthers,
second fifthers, and all who rank lower,
65 or 91,5 per cent are rational,
* * • *
This^method of computation makes no
comparison of grades as such, and an in-
dex number reading 12345 is as rational
as one reading 6789X, The first high
school is sending a group much superior
to that from the second, but the second
predicted the relative position of its
graduates just as ' accurately ' as did the
first, " *.
A typical example follows. Miss
B*C,B, entered the curriculum in home
economics in 1938, She was ranked in the
first fifth of her graduating class by
the B*T« High School in June> 1938; at
the end of the freshman year had an aver-
age of 1,00; and ranked in the seventh
tenth of her class* Tiro years earlier
J.W.V,, who was r'anked in"' the fourth
fifth of his graduating class in the same
high school^, entered the forestry curri-
culum at Mont Alto, At the end of his
freshman year he ranked in the tenth
tenth of his class. Instructors in two
widely different faculty groups, with n»
possible previous knowledge of the other
student's record, ranked these two stu-
dents in the same order as did their high
school faculty. Certainly neither stu-
dent was outstanding, but relative posi-
tions remained unchanged, When this ocr-
curs three times out of four, year after
year, it seems to those charged with the
admission of freshmen that there is. some-
thing in grades and grading, that grades
are apparently .properly used, to place
students in their proper positions within
a class or series of classes, and that
those charged with the instruction of
high' school and college students are
doing a genuinely conscientious * job.

Senate so voted.
Professor Kinsloe presented a new
report which contained, beginning near
the top of page 21 of the report, a rec-
ommendation for two engineering defense
programs and asked for unanimous consent
for the immediate consideration of this
part of the report. There being no objec-
tion, this part of _ the report, beginning
near the top of page 21 and continuing
on pages 22 and 23, was adopted unanimous-
ly. The remainder of the report was
placed on the table for consideration at
the January meeting of the Senate, The
entire report is on file in the office
of the Registrar,
On motion of Professor Kinsloe, the
Extension Division was voted permission
to add to course • numbers giyen in Engi-
neering Defense Training and letters . .

without referring such subjects, all
already in existence, to the Senate 'in
each individual case.
The President brought to the atten-
tion, of the Senate that, in the November
report of the Committee on Courses of
■Study just approved a total of 68 new
courses— carrying a maximum of 22 8 cred-
its— ^-werc approved, whereas at the same
time 16 course s— carrying a maximum total
of 40 credits — were dropped. This means
that the College will have a net gain of
52 new cour se s, carrying a total of 190
credits, with no assurance that the Col-
lege is financially able to extend its
program at this time. The President
pointed; out that some type of financial
a's.sura.noe. is necessary in order that
such extension of programs be made
possible, '

A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT AND MRS. HETZEL
To the Faculty and Staff:
This year it seems to Mrs. Hetzel
and me to be more appropriate to extend
our holiday greetings to the faculty and
staff more simply than in the past, and
through a medium which enables us to put
into words the thought that is foremost
in our minds. We take this opportunity,
therefore, to extend to you cordial
greetings of the season and to express
the heartfelt hope that before another
Christmas has come and gone the real
spirit of the season will have come once
more to the whole world.
Sincerely,
President and Mrs. R. D. Hetzel

A YEAR'S REPORT ON OUT-OF-STATE PUBLICITY
If it is true that research as an
activity deserves greater recognition in
the College publicity program, it_is*also
true that the same sort of scientific
analysis should be applied to the public-
ity program on a continuing basis. This
need was first realized some five or six
years ago and an effort was then made to
amass objective data about limited por-
tions of the area to be studied as early
as 1935. Since, however, activities of
this type are not 'sd obviously and imme-
diately productive as energies expended
in finding, writing, and 'Circulating, news
and feature stories arid photographs, it
has not been possible until recently to
put this part of the activities of the
Department of Public Information on any
basi's that would even approach the '-exac-
titude of "a 'scholar attempting to study
phenomena in a restricted area," *
One of the difficulties, to begin
with, is the multiplicity of publications
themselves. An individual faculty member
or administrator frequently tends to
evaluate the worth of a college publicity
program on the 'basis of 'his personal
reading experience with one, two, or
three newspaper's* While' "it is cdnceded
that these may be among 'the most impor-
tant objectives in any publicity effort,
it is also 'a fact that Arty single publi-
cation, or any two or thre'e publications,
form but a small part o'f the whole pro- .
gram. Neve'rthele ssy 'in December^ 1939,
the Department of Public Information em-
barked on its first rigorous 1 attempt to
study the efficacy of at least part of
its program. A report on the findings in
Pennsylvania is still in progress.
Through the services of a clipping bureau
which specializes in college publicity,
it is now possible to report on the find-
ings for one year in media published out-
side of Pennsylvania.'
For budgetary reasons, the clipping
bureau was instructed to clip only from
newspapers with more than 50,000 circula-
tion. There are approximately 150 news-
papers of this size in the United States,
although the number of daily newspapers
of all sizes totals 1900, To eliminate

n further instructed not to clip
items about students or faculty
eturning from week— ends or vaca—
t to clip items which simply
nn State among a number of other
ons; and not to clip agricultural
extension items excepting those
eared under a State College date—
From experience on certain specific
stories, it is evident that while the clip-
ping bureail is 'doing 'a ' sat isf act ory job,
it has not 'been able to collect all items
for which it "has 'authorization. Neverthe-
less, after" Ruling 'out sports publicity
(which could'ndt be studied '-at this time),
after eliminating dll references to the
unfortunate" Rachel Taylor case, and after
restricting int Srder a§*above described,
the report shows that news about College
activities appeared in one year in 196
publications^ mostly daily papers^ pub 1 -
lished outside of Pennsylvania, The 196
•figure- includes also a few national maga-
zines such as Time and Newsweek and, ob-
viously, a smSll proportion of newspapers
below 50,000 dirculat ion . Clipping's from
these were not returned beoause they did
not reach us in sufficient numbers to be.
objectionable. The one— time circulation
of these publications is* 24,748;754, The
total number of clippings received from
out-of-state papers 'for ' one year was 1039,
It would make 1 an interesting parler game,
if time permitted, to multiply the circu-
lation of each publication by the fre-
quency of the appearance of Penn State
news in that publication, but even brief
inspection reveals that the total would
•be- astronomical in proportions. The 196
publications were published in 29 states.,
and 71 cities. Despite its size, the
24,748,754 figure is conservative because
l) it is incomplete; 2) because, when
clippings have been received from both
daily and Sunday editions of the same pa-
per, it uses daily circulation figures,
which are generally considerably below
the Sunday figures.

The position of The Pennsylvania State
College in any tabulation of this type is
always of interest to the writer,. Espe-

to be similar bases.

The Pennsylvania State College granted

comparison is the omission of summer

DISTRIBUTION OF VARSITY ATHLETES IN THE VARIOUS • CURRICULA
by Ridge Riley
Contrary to the general belief, par-
ticipants in the varsity intercollegiate
athletic program of the College are fair-
ly evenly distributed throughout the
seven academic divisions and the 45 cur-
ricula ,
This survey includes 202 athletes
engaged in the 17 intercollegiate sports
recognized by the student Athletic Asso-
ciation, Major letter winners during the
calendar year of 1940 were used in the
report, writh the exception of ice hockey
and skiing. In these activities the cur-
rent squads were included since ice hock-
ey and skiing were not recognized as
"official sports" until the spring of
last year.
It is interesting to note that 34 of
the 45 curricula are represented by at
least one varsity athlete. Liberal Arts
(including Lower Division) with 57 leads
the list, followed by Engineering and
Physical Education, each with 38, There
are 3? athletes from Agriculture,
The smallest number are found. in the
School of Education, but this is under-
standable because of' 'the percentage of
women students in this School, Another
contributing factor would be that the
majority of male athletes desiring to
teach would naturally enroll in Physical
Educat ion.
Not including those enrolled in
physical education (38), the majority of
Penn State's athletes are studying com-
merce and finance (25), mechanical engi-
neering (20), and forestry (17),
Captains of six sports are engineer-
ing students (four mechanical engineers),
and six are liberal arts students (five
from commerce and finance).
Baseball and ice hockey are the only
sports of the 17 which list representa-
tives from all seven academic divisions.

REDUCED RATES IN EFFECT FOR ARTISTE
COURSE TICKETS
Reduced rates will be in effect for
series tickets for the three remaining
numbers of the Artists' Course, Dr. Carl
E* Marquardt, committee chairman, has an-
nounced. Tickets priced at $5,50 before
the Robeson concert will now be sold at
$3,90, while those which were formerly
$4.50 will-, be sold at $3.40.
Sale of tickets at the latter price
will be held during the week which begins
Monday, February 3. However, seats which
hare not been sold for the three— perform-
ance series will be made available on
Thursday, February 6, for individual per-
formances. Prices of these will be $2,25
each for Jascha Heifetz and the Cleveland
Orchestra and $1,25 for Anna Kaskas, "to-
taling $5.75 for the three numbers in-
stead of $3.90 and $3.40 for the series.
Interested patrons are therefore urged to
purchase their tickets at the Athletic
Association ticket windows February 3, "4,
and 5 before the individual sale begins,
* *
"It seems probable that out— of— town
buyers will request a la,rge number of
single seat tickets," Dr, Marquardt ex— •
plained, "However, no such requests will
be filled before February 6 so that stu-
dents, faculty members, and townspeople
may be given preference,"
Almost as many seats have been sold
this year as for any preceding series, he
pointed out. The difference corresponds
almost exactly to the number of seats
added by providing stage accommodations.
"A larger amount of money has been
budgeted for the course this year than in
any previous year," he added, "and prac-
tically all of this was used for talent.
Nevertheless, the course is in no danger
of running a deficit."
Attention is called to the fact that
the majority of the 150 remaining seats
are excellent stage locations.
NOTICE CONCERNING MIDYEAR COMMENCEMENT
Professor Bullinger, College Mar-
shal,, wishes to call attention to the
fact that Midyear Commencement will be
held next Tuesday evening, January 28,

sion will meet in the balcony of Schwab

NOTICE CONCERNING INCOME TAX
The following notice is published
verbatim, by request, for the convenience
of State College taxpayers.
General Notice
The Revenue Act of 1940 has made im-
portant changes with respect to the lia-
bility of individuals for the filing of
income tax returns. Individuals under
the following circumstances are required
to file returns covering the calendar
year 1940 :
Single individuals, or married individ-
uals not living with husband or wife,
having a GROSS INCOME of $800 or more.
Married individuals living together
having a combined GROSS INCOME of
$2,000 or more.
The net income is no longer to be
used in determining the liability for the
filing of a Federal income tax return.
The liability of a citizen or resident of
the United States to file a return is de-
pendent upon his status as a married or
single person, and the amount of his
GROSS INCOME, Therefore, every citizen
or. resident of the United States will be
required to file a return for the taxable
year 1940 if his GROSS INCOME in 1940,
regardless ' of the amount of his net in-
come, comes within the amount specified
above for his particular status, A re-
turn must be filed even though, by reason
of allowable deductions from gross income
and of allowable credits against net in-
come, it develops that no tax is due,
Forml040A should be used for GROSS
INCOME of not more than$5 > 000 derived
from salaries) wages) interest, dividends,
and - annuit ie si For 1040 should be used
for GROSS INCOME from salaries, wages>
interest, divide nds> and annuities of
mor° than $5^000; or if any part of your
income is derived from other than sala-
ries, wages, interest, dividends, or an-
nuities, Forml040 should be used regard-
less of the amount of your income. While
returns must be filed on or before March
15, 1941, with the collector of internal
revenue for the district in which you re-
side, it is urged that they be filed as
soon as possible after January 1,
If in doubt as to your liability for
the filing of a return and if your em- •
* *
ployer has no blank return forms availa-
ble, make request of the collector of in-
ternal revenue for the district in which
you reside, or of any deputy collector
stationed in your vicinity, for the 1940
individual income tax return and the
printed instructions accompanying the
form.
Failure of individuals , under the
circumstance s out line d above , to file re -
turns will sub ject them to- the impo sit ion
of the penalt ie s pre s cr ibed by law .
Notice for State College Taxpayers
For convenience of those who are re-
quired by law to file Federal Income Tax
Returns, a Deputy C-ollector of Internal
Revenue will be at :

February 17th and 18th, and
March 6th, 7th, and 8th > 1941
to assist taxpayers in preparing their re-
turns, NO CHARGE WILL BE MADE FOR THIS
SERVICE,
The matter of filing your Income Tax
Return should be given immediate attention,
in order to avoid penalty and interest,

CORRELATION BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE RANK
by Ma r y V i r g i n i a Br own
Office of the Registrar
Few colleges send more objec-
tive information to parents of
students, high school principals,
and to the faculty than does the
Registrar's office of this Col-
lege, Seldom, however, have we
given out information reduced to
a correlation factor.. This latter
fact was caused very largely by
the difficulty the Registrar en-
countered in trying to explain to
parents or even to a high school
principal just what a correlation
factor means* However, this year
for the first time, correlations
of high school and college rank
have been made which show very
gratifying results.
A study of the records of the
graduates of 12 representative
Pennsylvania high schools who en-
tered The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege as freshmen during the period
1928-1935 reveals very interesting
relationships between rank in high
school graduating class and rank
in college. Since the work in-
volved in analyzing records of' all
students admitted as freshmen dur-
ing this period would be tremen-
dous, these 12 schools were chosen
on the basis of geographical and
numerical representation. In this
eight-year period a total of 12S0
students started as freshmen at
The Pennsylvania State College
after graduation by the following'
high schools; Allentown, Altoona,
Scranton Central, Hazleton, New
Castle, Oil City, Peabody (Pitts-'
burgh ) , ' w I 1 1 i am Penn' ( Har r i sburg ) ,
Reading, State College, West ,
Philadelphia, and Wi 1 1 iamsport «
In computing correlations ' be- .
in
tween high school rank and rank
college, the former is based on
division by fifths of the class '
and the latter on tenths of the
class. A correlation factor of
,64 was found between high school
rank and rank at the end of the
first year of college, and of ,60
between high school rank and rank
at the end of the college career.
The correlation factor between
rank at the end of the freshman
year and rank at the end of the
college career for these 1290 stu-
dents is #88 6

vania high schools has been ex-

Since these correlation fac-

they further bear out the fact that
high school rank, is an excellent
predictive index of college rank.

The pro's and con's
various type
of ticket sale procedures will be brought
to the attention of subscribers to the
Artists' Course and they will be asked
this evening during the intermission of
the Heifetz number to list in order of
their preferences the six basic methods
which seem to offer relief from the in-
conveniences of present selling methods.
It, The use of some system of pref-
erential selection, a method in which the
allocation of seats is left largely to

4, The Tobias plan, which discour-
ages early line formation by dividing sub-
scribers into two lines, employing 'or der —
takers in the lobby, one of whom starts at
the beginning of Line I, the other at the
end of Line II, a short time before the
windows are scheduled to open e
5 The plan which has been in effect
for the last several years, with the dis-
tribution of priority numbers which was
used for the first time this fall,
6 W A modification of the present
plan designed to expedite the movement of
the line at the ticket windows*
PREFERENTIAL DRAWING PLAN
Advantage s
Dig a d v a ntage s
1, The use of this system would dispense
with the early— forming lines, which have
been a source of growing dissatisfaction,
2, Under this plan, tickets could possi-
bly he purchased by, mail r and applications
numbered to correspond to numbers to be
drawn to establish priority in much the
same manner as the selective service act
operatedo
3, The idea is flexible enough so that
other means of employing preferential
drawing could be used without mailed
applicat ions o
1# Subscribers would be in no position
to determine just -.That seats they would
receive,
2 a To insure the success of the course,
it would be necessary to stipulate that
all ticket allocations would have to be
final, whether or not the
ts a partic-
ular subscriber received were entirely
satisfactory or not
3, This system eliminates the flexibility
in going from one price class to another,
which is a feature
proxy type of .sale
of the personal or
2. THE USE OF RECREATION BUILDING
Advantage s
Di sac 1 vantage s
1, There would be sufficient room for
all applicants.
2 e With sufficient seats available, the
need for a ticket sale line would be
eliminate d,
3« The number of seats that could be
purchased by any one person would proba-
bly not have to be restricted,,
4, There would be no necessity for dis-
couraging out-of-town sales,
l c The acoustics of Recreation building-
are not satisfactory for a concert series
2. There would be a lessening of the
"appearance— in-per son" value which, after
the principal advantage in hearing
all.
an artist in person, rather than on a
phonograph or radio o The distance of the
audience from the artist and the inability
to hear the artists' performance except
through amplifiers would take away much
that one is willing to pay for in a small
audit orium,
3. Seats in Recreation building would be
less comfortable for the longer . perform-
ances of the Artists' Cctirse than these
in the Auditorium,
4* Without costly investments for a cur-
tained stage and other stage accessories,
Recreation building would lack equipment
to build up an adequate concert hall at —
mo sphere ,
THE DAVEY "OPTIONAL ADVANCE SALE" PLAN
Advantage s
1. Patrons could purchase seats in an
advance sale to be held in April or May,
Since the advance ■ sub script ions would
probably occupy only a small part of the
house, purchasers would be assured of good
seats without having to stand in line,
2, The number of tickets at an advance
sale would probably not have to be re-
stricted,
3« The present " stand— in— line " system
with the proxy feature would still be a —
vaiiable : to purchasers who preferred to.
buy their seats in the fall. It would be
possible to continue the use of priority
numbers in the fall to save potential sub-
scribers or their proxies as much time as
possible.
Disadvantage s
1, Those purchasing tickets at the ad-
vance sale in the spring would not know
what numbers would appear on the course
in the fall,
2, Since seniors would have been grad-
uated by fall and freshmen not admitted at
the time of the advance sale in the spring,
the advance sale privilege, so far as the
student body is concerned, would be limited
largely to the present sophomore and jun-
ior clas s c
3 Participation in the advance sa.le
would require an investment in tickets
eight months before they would be used

1. It eliminates the incentive for form-
ing in line early since later comers in
one line have as 'good a chance to get*
satisfactory seats as early comers in the
other line,
2. Persons in line still ha.ve an oppor-
tunity to select in person the specific
seats which they regard as' most satis—
fact ory .
3. This plan will expedite the movement
of the lines at the ticket windows*
Disadvantages
1. -Though satisfactory at Hilton, it may
create new problems in maintaining order :
in the line in which the order— taking
will begin 'fr*om the en<I; i.e. some of the -
early corners in that li-ne may be resentful
of losing the precedence which their early
arrival has given them and may try tc im-
prove their positions,
2.' A person coining ' early will not heou a— ■
sarily receive preferential treatment on
that account .
3. It may take more than a year under this
plan for the public to realize that no
great gain results from forming in line
early, since chance determines which end
cf the lines will be served first*
-5. THE PRESENT PLAN (USING PRIORITY NUMBERS)
Advantage s
1. An opportunity to select at the time
of purchase spc cif i c * seat s satisfactory
to the purchaser.
Pi s a dvant ages ■ ■•
1. The forming of an early line cannot
be eliminated.
2, It is necessary to employ a proxy if
one docs net want tc stand in line himself.
2. The desirability cf the seats secured
depends on the initiative of the individ-
ual subscriber rather than en the element 3. Possible disappointment that may re-
ef chance, suit for those who have stood in line if
the course is oversold,
3, widest possible choice in selection
of seats Irrespective cf price range, 4. Possible interference with class at-
tendance because of the necessity of
waiting in line.
6. PRESENT PLAN i/TTH A FEATURE DESIGNED T-0 LAKE THE LINE MOVE MORE RAPIDLY
It has been suggested that many would prefer to see the line meve mere rapidly even
at the expense of selecting specific seats. Under this plan the individual would
accept the seats handed to him within a particular price bracket just as he would in
applying at the box offices o'f metropolitan theatres.
Advantage .
1, It would enable the lines to move
more rapidly once the ticket sale got
under way.
Pi sadvantage
1, It would eliminate the possibility of
selecting specific locations which seem
to each individual subscriber tc be the
most desirable.

TWO-WEEK PERIOD FOR DROP-ADDS ENDS TOMORROW
The two-week period for Drop— Adds
will end tomorrow, Wednesday, February
19, at 5 p.m. After that time the fol—
lowing rule goes into effect:
"In the case of subjects dropped
from a student's schedule by his Dean or
two
scheduling officer after the end of
weeks, the instructor, upon receipt of
the Drop notice, shall indicate on the
class card, before returning it to the
Registrar, that at the time the 'student
withdrew from the class the grade was
above passing (WA ) or below passing (WB).
"In those exceptional cases where a
student is permitted to drop a subject
after the first two weeks of a semester,
for reasons not due to poor scholarship^
the School in which he is enrolled may
authorize the dropping 'without penalty,'
in which case the instructor teaching
the subject shall not report a grade
(WB). If the instructor by mistake re-
ports a grade (WB), the Registrar shall
disregard the re-port."

UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGES
From time to tine the Faculty Bulle-
tin has published studies concerning the
position of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, according to size, among the educa-
tional institutions of the country.
These figures are invariably based on
total enrollment. That The Pennsylvania
State College has one of the larger col-
leges insofar as enrollment of candidates
Temple University 12,520
The University of Pennsylvania 16,894
for the bachelor's degree is concerned is
frequently overlooked. In Pennsylvania
three institutions report residence en-
rollment in excess of that for The Penn-
sylvania State College, For instance, in
1939-1940 the following total residence
enrollments are reported, according to
figures published in the catalogues of
the institutions concerned:
The University of Pittsburgh
The Pennsylvania State College
12,920
10,066
for which figures were not available. One
indication of the size of the undergrad-
uate student body may be had by looking
at the size of the freshman class. This
year, according to letters received from
the officers of admission of five Penn-
sylvania institutions, the following
freshman enrollments were reported:
This, insofar as total enrollment is con-
cerned, places The Pennsylvania State
College in fourth position in the state.
In all attempts to discover the num-
ber of candidates for the bachelor's de-
gree for these four institutions, we have
invariably found at least one institution
Name of the Institution
Carnegie Institute of Technology
Lehigh University
Temple University
The University of Pennsylvania
The University of Pittsburgh
The Pennsylvania State College
Freshman enrollments at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and Temple Univer-
sity combined or at the University of
Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Institute of
Technology combined are less than the
total freshman enrollment at The Pennsyl-
vania State College. Another indication
of undergraduate enrollment is the number

NEW LIBRARY REGULATION IN
PL
CT
Owing to increased restric-
tions on the part cf lending li-
braries the following regulation
was placed in effect at the Penn-
sylvania State College Library on
January 1, 1941, relative to bor-
rowing books from other libraries;
Interlibrary loans for the
use of graduate students and fac-
ulty members must be used in the
Library building or in the depart-
ment library which serves the
School with which the borrower
is connected. This ruling is in
accord with the practice pre-
scribed by many individual lending
libraries and within the code of
interlibrary loan practice set up
by the American Library Associa-
tion, As one library states,
"When a library sends books on
interlibrary loan, it is expected
that they shall be used where they
will be immediately ava liable for
return, if needed by the lending
library. They should be at all
times under the direct supervision
of the borrowing library."

AN EDITOR LOOKS AT COLLEGE PUBLICITY"
By William K» Ulerich
Editor and Associate Publisher, The Centre Daily, Times
(The following article is intended as a sequel to the series of arti-
cles on publicity "which were run in The Faculty Bulletin earlier this
academic year. It was delayed because of Mr * Ulerich's preoccupation
with other matters. The invitation was extended to Mr, Ulerich because

expressing his point of view,)
an- alumnus of the College, and as a working member of the craft, he is
in an especially advantageous position to look at the publicity problem
from three angles. He was assured that he would have complete freedom
in expressing his point of view,)
As I see the publicity picture at
Penn State, there are two distinct divi-
sions ,
In one are the scientific releases,
the "big, national" stories Mr, Howard
Blakeslee, AP science editor, so ably
discussed
time ago.
in The Faculty Bulletin some
In the other are the myriad run— of—
the— mine stories appearing principally
in the State papers.
Both serve their purpose. The first
maintains the prestige of the College in
scientific and academic circles. The
second keeps Penn State before the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania, a function vitally
important for an institution so depend-
ent en popular goodwill.
In his seven suggestions, Mr, Blakes-
lee left nothing to be desired in explain-
ing the procedure necessary to obtain and
present a big, scientific "break" to the
public. Anything I might write would
simply echo his words.
In the other fields, however, I ven-
ture a few ideas:
Unless it is a story especially re-
quested by the newspaper— and they are
few— the stories mailed from the College
news service must make their way in com-
petition with countless other news re-
leases sent from other schools, govern-
ment agencies, and private sources. They
are usually placed on the city editor's
desk. Unfortunate as it may seem, unless
the editor decrees otherwise, the news
story may be wast e— basket ed then and
there. However, College releases have ;
lot better chance to survive this pre-
liminary weeding cut because an editor
knows he will find in such releases lit-
tle that should really be in the adver-
tising columns.

The problem, then, stated simply is
how to send out stories which editors
will judge interesting to their readers.
And it is a difficult one for the College
publicity department. Items of extreme
scientific interest, unless dressed up
with adjectives, live verbs, and ether
journalistic trimmings, will leave your.,
editor cold. Then again, some simple
little feature story will crack page one
in all the dailies.

CAMPUS PHOTOSTAT SERVICE INAUGURATED
With the completion of the instal-
lation of the photostat equipment in
the new Library, the administration of
the College announces the availability
of photostat service on the campus.
Actual operation of the photostat serv-
ices is scheduled to begin today, Wed-
nesday, April 16,
The photostat is a machine for
quickly producing photographic copies
of all hinds of documents, commercial
papers, maps, drawings, blueprints — in
fact, of anything drawn, written, or
printed,, The subject matter is photo-
graphed directly from the original copy
onto a specially sensitized paper held
in the machine. No glass plate or film
negative is used to produce copies of
the original. The initial photostat
copy of the original is a negative.
print 1 that is, white letters en a black
background — a reversal of the original,
-^ positive pr int , an exact facsimile of
the original, can be produced by making
a photostat copy of the negative print.
If material is wanted for reference work
only, negative prints are usually quite
satisfactory. Illustrations in color do
not reproduce as clearly as those in
black' and white, A decided advantage of
the photostat machine is .the fact that,
either or both reductions and enlarge-
ments of original copy can be produced.
The College photostat machine can pro-
duce a print up to 18 by 24 inches in
one operation. Preparation of photo-
static copy larger than 18 by 24 inches
involves the preparation of copies of
sections of the original; these sec-
tions, in turn, can then be matched and
mounted on any type of material with
cement or transparent adhesive tissue,,
The photostat services will be op-
erated on a non-profit cost basis »
Charges for photostat services will
be ma.de in accordance with the follow-
ing sche dule :

Mr. Fred E Kelly, part-time in-

charge of photostat services. All in-
quiries in regard to special prices or
such other information as is not con-

band, and the clowns will begin to enter-

As a climax to the year's athletic
and recreational program, the circus was
originated in the spring of 1939. It is
sponsored by the School of Physical Edu-
cation and Athletics as an answer to a
desire for an entertainment which is fun
for the performers as well as the spec-
tators.
The circus is not merely vaudeville,
nor is it just an exhibition of athletic
prowess and comedy, Penn State's display
includes the usual circus band, clowns,
and comedy; but in addition it presents a
finer type of entertainment, such as the
background music of the string ensemble,
singing, dancing, and. acrobatics.

POPULAR LECTURE ON
DEMONSTRATION OF
THE ARTIFICIAL CREATION OF SPEECH AND
THE "VODER" TO BE GIVEN NEXT MONDAY
A popular lecture on the artificial
creation of speech and a demonstrat iun of
the Voder will be given in Schwab Audi-
torium next Monday, April 28, at 8 p,m,,
by Dr, J a 0, Perrine, assistant vice
president of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, New York City, The
lecture is sponsored by the local chapter
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, Sigma Pi Sigma, and Sigma Xi,
In his talk, Dr , Perrine will dis-
cuss the character of sounds and their
basic elements, their analysis and syn-
thesis, and the electrical means for cre-
ating speech-like sounds. He will ex-
plain how the Voder creates electrically
the two kinds of sounds which are char-
acteristic of speech — the unvoiced con-
sonant sounds like "s" and "h" and the
vowel sounds of the vocal cords— and
show how the operator, by manipulating
the keys and pedals, shapes these basic
sounds into almost any desired combina-
tion. Just as color is really a com-
posite of various hues, so vowel and con-
sonant sounds are made up of various
patterns of audible tones.
Designed in Bell Tel
ries, the Voder is an ele
ment corresponding to the
mechanism both in its pro
and in the completeness o
thereof. It is built ent

The Voder was developed in its pres-
ent form after over 100 years of effort
to reproduce speech. It is a step in se-
rious telephone research, which may lead
to a number of practical uses. For exam-
ple, it is hoped that out of studies of
this kind facilities may be provided for
carrying more telephone conversations
over existing lines without interference
of one with any other.

MINUTES OF THE COLLEGE SENATE MEETING OE APRIL 3. 1941
A meeting of the College Senate was
held in room 121 Sparks building Thursday,
April 3, 1941, at 4:10 p.m., with Presi-
dent Hetzel presiding, A list of the
members present is on file in the office
of the Registrar.
The minutes of the meeting of March
6, 1941, were read and approved.
Under the reports of standing com-
mittees, Dr* Marquardt, acting chairman
of .the Committee on Academic Standards,
presented a list of those nominated for
certain scholarships and awards This
report, which is on file in the office of
the Registrar, had received approval of
the president and was, on motion, adopted.
Dr Marquardt also recommended that
the name. of the Fayette Undergraduate Cen-
ter, closed June 30, 1940, he removed from
the list of Centers approved by the Senate
as Centers of resident instruction e This
recommendation, which is on file in the
office of the Registrar, was adopted,,
Dr, larger, as chairman of the Com-
mittee on Calendar, announced that the
All-College Cabinet selected Saturday,

This report is on file in the office of
the Registrar.
Dr. Dye, chairman of the Committee
on Rules, presented a recommendation af-
fecting rules 88 and 91 of the Regula-
tions Affecting Undergraduate Students,
This report follows :
The Committee on Rules proposes
the following ■ clarifications of the
Undergraduate Student Regulations
numbers 88 and 91:
1» In rule 88, which concerns
student automobiles, it is proposed
to substitute the words, "the Campus
Patrol, Department of Grounds and
Buildings, room 320, Old Main," for
the words "the designated College
authority." Then the regulation will
read "A student who desires to keep
or operate an automobile," etc*,
"shall obtain a student automobile
permit from the Campus Patrol, De-
partment of Grounds and Buildings,
room 32 0, Old Main " The committee
proposes further to print in an ap-
pendix to the regulations booklet
the rules adopted by the Department
of Grounds and Buildings.
2, Since the regulations con-
cerning the use of rooms in College
buildings, like the regulation of
campus traffic, is a purely adminis-
trative matter, yoiir committee pro-
poses that the rule 91 be amended
by substituting in the first sentence
of the paragraph the words "the admin-
istrative regulations printed in the
appendix: to these Regulations, p. "
for the words "the permission of the
custodian of the building." This
would make the first sentence read
"Authorized meetings may be heJd in
the rooms of College buildings sub-
ject to the administrative regula-
tions printed in the appendix to
these Regulations, p. ." These regu-
lations have been furnished the com-
mittee by the Department of Grounds
and Buildings.
This report, which is on file in the
office of the Registrar, was tabled for
consideration by the Senate at the next

The Pennsylvania State College, it
is assumed that he anticipates re-
ceiving his degree from the Col-
lege at the end of the appropriate
four years. However, everybody
knows that many students do not
graduate, and that many of those
who do get their bachelor's de-
grees do not get them at the end
of the four-year period following
matriculation. Because of the
careful selective processes in-
volved in the admission of stu-
dents to The Pennsylvania State
College, we quite logically enjoy
a much lower student mortality
than is found in many other insti-
tut i ons .

It might be assumed that the

of the class of 1940. In S

The United States Department
of Education recently published a
study of College Student Mortality
(Bulletin 1937, No* 11) in which
admissions to and graduates from
the class of 1935 at 25 institu-
tions were analyzed. This study
indicated that The Pennsylvania
State College graduated 56.0 per
tered in September, 1936, and the
highest percentage graduated by
The Pennsylvania State College, so
far as records in the Registrar's
office show. Many of those who
did not graduate, 576 in all, or
41.3 per cent of the entering
group, may perhaps turn up for de-
grees later, either here or else-
where. In this connection-, it is
interesting to note the variety of
dates on which members of last
year's graduating class originally
matriculated at The Pennsylvania
State College.

During the seven-month period

have contributed a minimum 'of 115
articles to at least 47 scholarly

SPRING SALE OF ARTISTS' COURSE TICKETS TO BE HELD WAY 14 AND 15
The preliminary sale of 1941-
1942 Artists' Course tickets for
faculty members will be held Wed-
nesday, May 14, Dr. Carl E Mar-
quardt, chairman of the committee,
announced today. Ticket windows
will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 and
from 1:30 to 5 p.m. The student
sale will be held Thursday, May 15,
at the same hours.
The spring sale was arranged
in accordance with the Davey plan,
which received the largest number
of votes in the recent ballot on
ticket sale methods.
Prices of the tickets will be
the same: $5.50, $4.50, and $3.50,
Half of the seats will again be
reserved for students and half for
faculty members and townspeople.
If students fail to take advantage
of the spring sale, their section
of the* auditorium will be reserved
until the main sale in the fall.
The only number at present
selected is the Rochester Philhar-
monic Orchestra, which received
twice as many votes as the other
two symphony orchestras combined
as well as the greatest number of
votes in the Artists' Course bal-
lot.
The quota of tickets that may
be purchased by one person has
been raised from three to four, in
order to accommodate two couples
who may wish to sit together.
Tickets must again be purchased
in person or by authorized proxy,
and cash or a check must be pre-
sented. The sale is final, and
no money can be refunded.
The main sale wi.ll be held in
the fall as usual. At 4 p,m. on
the day preceding this sale, pri-
ority numbers will be distributed
to prospective purchasers. Since
only numbers will be distributed
on that day, the line can be
cleared very rapidly. Purchasers
will then be instructed at what
hour to report on the following
day for the selection and obtain-
ing of tickets. This procedure,
the committee hopes, will elim-
inate the all-night -lines formed
in preceding years.
MEETING ON "WORLD RECONSTRUCTION" TO BE HELD THURSDAY
The final meeting in the se-
ries of discussions on the theme
"After War--What?" which was orig-
inally scheduled for April ZZ will
be held this Thursday, May 8, at
8:15 p.m. in the Home Economics
auditorium. Dr. W. Emory Hartman,
minister of the Allison Memorial
Methodist Church of Carlisle and
former Wesley Foundation pastor of
St, Paul's Church, State College,
will speak on "The Role of Reli-
gion and Religious Institutions in
World Reorganization."
Several speakers in the se-
ries have indicated that the po-
litical organization^ sociological
structure^ and the economic order
would need the contribution of re-
ligion if any or all were to suc-
ceed. Dr. Hartman will therefore
analyze the contribution of reli-
gion to the world future. Members
of- the committee planning the se-
ries include Charles Clemson, Al
Kaplan, Clermont Powell, Galen
Alexander, Clayton Allen, Clarence
Stevens, Dorothy Stevens, and Jean
Hershberger.

FACULTY MEMBERS REQUESTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO EXAMINATION FILE
The jurisdiction of the examination
file has been removed from campus poli-
tics and placed in the hands of the Stu-
dent Library Committee. This action was
taken by the All-College Cabinet'- which
officially recognized the examination
file as a worthwhile student project.
The Student Library Committee hopes
that since the project has received this
recognition members of the faculty will
oo-
t
that those who have not as yet sent
o— operate more actively in the crganisa-
ion of the file. They therefore ask
copies of their examinations to Miss
Frear in the reference' room of the Li-
brary-will do so before May 12. At that
time a list of all examinations on file
will be published in the Collegian.
Although this file is available to
students at all times, it will be main-
tained
from

The minutes of the April meeting
were read and approved.
The Secretary announced that he had
received the names of elected members for
the academic year 1941-1942, from the
several Schools, with one or two excep-
tions. The complete list of newly elect-
ed members is to be printed in an early
issue of the Faculty Bulletin, These
lists are on file in the office of the
Registrar,
Dr, Marquardt, acting chairman of
the Committe'e on Academic Standards, pre-
sented a report in two parts. The report
informed the Senate that Mr, Winston G,
Donr'.lds.'on, a recipient of the John.W,
White Fellowship, had resigned the Fel-
lowship and that Mr, Ray H* Dutt , alter— .
Hate, had been appointed to it* The Com-
mittee announced two additional alter— '
nates, Mr, George P, Cressman as first
alternate and Miss Mary E 8 Baker as sec-
ond alt ernate ,. who will ( f ill any vacan-
cies that may occur in the . Fellowships
These recommendations^ which are on file
in the office of the Registrar, had the
approval of the _Pre sident •and were,, on
mocion, adopted,
., The Committee on Academic Standards
also presented the recommendation made
by the Executive Committee of the School
of Engineering which was presented at the
Apr^l meeting of the Senate and'recom-
me ided favorable action on the part of
tho Senate, The recornmendat ion reads as
fellows j . '
Any examination authorized as a spe-
cial examination to remove a condition
in a subject where the course has not
been repeated may be- graded no higher
than a 0, and this shall be the final
grade ..for the course The reported
grade should be accompanied by .the
letters "Sp,ExJ" indica'cing that it is
the result of a special examination.
The recornmendat ion was, on motion,
adopted.
Professor Kinsloe, as chairman of
the Committee on Courses of Study, pre—
rented a report which, in accordance with
Senate procedure, was tabled for consid-
eration at the June meeting. The report
of the Committee on Courses of Study, as
presented at' the April meeting of the
Senate, wag, pn motion, adopted.
On motion, the Senate voted that the
Committee on Courses of Study be permitted
to act with power on Engineering Defense
courses that might require action during
the summer months, beginning with the day
following the date of this meeting and to
continue until the Senate convenes in the
fall. No courses carrying College credit
are included in this proposal.
The special committee, appointed to
study the operation of the rules govern-
ing attendance before and after vacations,
presented a report. The committee unani-
mously came to the conclusion that no
change in the rules (58 to 63) should be
made. The report contained two recornmen-
dat ions :
1, That two teaching members of the
faculty, not department heads, be added
to the administrative committee on va-
cation absences.
This recommendation was tabled for
consideration at the June meeting and re-
ferred, in the interim, to the Committee
on Rules, * '
2, That the Senate Committee on Calen-
dar be requested to study the desira-
bility of scheduling vacations to be-
gin, as far as possible, on Saturday
noon and to end on Monday morning.
This recornmendat ion was automatically
referred to the Committee on Calendar for
consideration. The report, which is on
file in the office of the Registrar, was,
on motion, adopted.
The report of the Committee on Rules,
as presented at the April meeting- of the
Senate and referred to on page 381 of
these minutes, was considered. Recommen-
dation No, 1 reads as f ollows i
In Rule 88, which concerns student au-
tomobiles, it is proposed to substitute
the words "the Campus Patrol, Depart-
ment of Grounds and Buildings, room
320 Old Main" for the words "the desig-
nated College authority," Then the
regulation will read "A student- who
desires to keep or operate an automo-
bile," etc., "shall obtain a student
automobile permit from the Campus Pa-
trol, Department of Grounds and Build-
ings, room 320 Old Main," The C-ommit- .
tee proposes further to print in an
appendix to the Regulations booklet
the rules adopted by t he _Department
of Grounds and Buildings,
This recornmendat ion was, on motion,
adopted, professor Kinsloe suggested an
amendment to recommendation No, 2, which
was accepted by the Committee on Rules,
The amende-d recornmendat ion reads as fol-
lows :
Authorized meetings may be held in.
rooms of College "buildings subject
to administrative regulations on file
in the central booking office, room

SURVEY OF CONFLICT EXAMINATIONS
by Ray V, Watkins
College Scheduling Officer
The College Scheduling Officer has
been striving to reduce the number of
conflict examinations. The following
table shows a decrease in those sched\.iled
for the second semester of 1941 over
those scheduled for the second semester
of 1940. If the examination cards sent
out by the College Scheduling Officer are
completely filled out by instructors, the
number of conflict examinations may be
even further reduced.

LOCAL U.S.O. COMMITTEE BESPEAKS
IN BRINGING ENTERTAINMENT TO f
FACULTY SUPPORT
IEN IN SERVICE
An intensive week's drive to
solicit a financial contribution
from all members of campus and
town will be conducted beginning
tomorrow by the local committee of
the United Service Organizations
for National Defense, Inc., em-
ploying the women's auxiliaries of
the American Legion and the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars. The solici-
tation will be made at the indi-
vidual's home. The U.S.O. is a
co-ordinated agency comprised of
the Young Men's Christian Associa-
tions, National Catholic Community
Service , ..Sal vati on Army, Young
Women's Christian Association,
Jewish Welfare Board, and National
Travelers Aid Association. The
national goal is $10,765,000.
The money raised in this
drive will be used to provide rec-
reation and-entertainment and to
bolster in other ways the morale
of 1,500,000 men in uniform and
2,000,000 others engaged in vital
defense, industries. The federal
government will. provide the build-
ings to serve the participating, ,.
organizations, but the program pro-
vided by the U.S.O. wi 11 consist
of leisure-time activities con-
ducted when the service men are
off duty and are keen to get away
from bounds. Therefore the fed-
eral government itself cannot ef-
fectively finance the activities'
program.
The U.S.O. plans to set up
339 service clubs, adjacent to
camps, naval stations, and defense
industries throughout the United

GRADES FOR GRADUATING SENIORS DUE TODAY
All grades for graduating
seniors arc due at the Registrar's
office today, Tuesday, June 3, at
5 p.m.
If grades are in the office
at the time designated, it is not
necessary for the recorders to
call for grades to complete rec-
ords where grade points arc in-
sufficient and enables the office
to give final corrections to the
printer of the Commencement pro-
gram in time to meet our contract.
Last year, thanks to the co-
operation of all instructors,
grade sheets for all seniors who
were graduating were ready for
distribution before Commencement
day. It is our hope to do the
same thing this year.
Senior grades not reported by
5 p.m. today, Tuesday, will be
considered as passing.
Other Grades

office of the Registrar one week
after the final meeting of a class
for which no final examination is
scheduled, or one week after the

grades are due at the office of
the Registrar not later than the
Wednesday following the close' of
