New College Organized! At P.S.U.
The College of Arts and Archi
tecture, with Dr. Jules Heller as
dean, will become operational at
the beginning of the Winter term
in January.
At its meeting, the Board of
Trustees approved formation of
the new college, which will include
departments of art, architecture,
landscape architecture, music, and
theatre arts.
The art, music and theatre arts
departments were the chief com
ponents of the School of Arts, an
area of the College of the Liberal
Arts since 1955, which will be dis
continued.
Landscape architecture, a cur
riculum in the department of
horticulture in the College of Ag
riculture, will become a depart
ment in the new college, with
Wayne H. Wilson, professor of
landscape architecture, as head of
the department.
The department of architecture,
of which Philip F. Hallock is act
ing head, is to be moved from the
present College of Engineering
" As everyone knows, the attendance at activities this year
Is minimal when compared to last year. This may, in effect,
he due to lack of student interest in the particular types of
entertainment offered. This we do not think is the case. A
variety of activities has been offered with similar results
poor attendance. .Lectures, films, and dances have taken up
all but one Friday night spot, with none of these gaining
much success.
SGA is perplexed. It is trying its utmost to promote more
participation. An example of this is the new Communications
Box to enable clubs, students, and faculty members to have
their interests announced via the PA System and colorful
posters. The recent coffee hour was but one more example of
how YOUR SGA is working for YOU.
It has been evidenced that record hops are less of a success
than our “big” dances. It has been cited that we have been
spoiled by having too many small dance bands. Can’t we be
content to have a majority of record hops with only two or
three “big” dances per term?”
The Social Committee is following a very close budget,
but at the same time trying to do the most with what it has.

HIGH ACRES COLLEGIAN
STUDENT POLL:
Is or Miss
Right or Wrong?
Mr. Robert Haas, sth term B.A.
—“According to the Constitution
of the United States, all men are
equal in the sight of the law.
Therefore, Meredith should have
the same privileges as a white
person, especially to an education,
and since Old Miss is a land grant
institution, being partially sup
ported by the state.”
Miss Annetta Long, Ist term L.A.
—“The problem shouldn’t have
arisen in the first place, but, once
Meredith applied, he should have
been admitted, provided that he
met the requirements. The trouble
is that people are not born with
prejudice, they learn it.”
Dennis Kovach, Ist term Coun.
—“lt all occurred for the sake of
the principle, not for the single
case, but as a precedent for future
cases.”
Charles Kapes, 2nd term Special
Student—“lt is James Meredith’s
Constitutional and God-given right
to attend the college of his choice.”
Kathy Botchick, Ist term L.A.—
“As long as it is a land grant col
lege, getting aid from the govern
ment, which does not stipulate to
whom the aid should be given, all
persons, regardless of race, should
be admitted.”
Anita Fahringer, Ist term L.A.
—“James Meredith met the re
quirements to be admitted to that
university; therefore, he should be
allowed to stay. However, with the
demonstration his presence is
causing, I think he should transfer
to another school where he could
avoid all this trouble.”
Marie Melchiorre, Ist term Ag.—
“A Negro has as much right to
education as a white person.”
Mr. Robert Yale, 4th term Chem.
—“President Kennedy handled the
situation elceedingly well. I feel
integration should be advocated
by all colleges.”

Success Hailed
Penn State students found their
own answer to the “call of the
wild” on Friday, October 19. A
Beatnik Dance held in the S. U. B.

all. With non-conformist juke box
music and drab black decorations
as a background, a sizable group
enjoyed a brief excursion into the
unhurried beatnik world.
