Durham, N.H. - (1.P.) - The
“Life in University Residences”
committee at the University of
New Hampshire believes that its
scope extends beyond residence
hall government.
The committee has prepared a
statement to provide a basis for
discussion of residence hall
autonomy with members of the
community. The statement is
divided into three areas: the need
for change in residence halls
government; areas of concern
that should be investigated; and
implementation of the final
proposal.
The residence hall is not
fulfilling its potential, the
committee suggests, and it is
simply a place for the student to
sleep and store his belongings,
“hi many instances it is not even
a place to develop the practical
skills of daily life.”
The committee feels residence
halls should help develop an
attitude of self-sufficiency and
responsibility among students
and halls should be a learning
experience. It maintains the
process of bringing about self
government in the halls will be a
valuable learning experience for
students.
The halls should be a home and
should help develop “in
terdependence, cooperation and
sensitivity towards others.” They
should also encourage “self
expression in the living en-
Business Education
Being Phased Out
The College of Education has
recommended, and the recom
mendation has been approved by
President Oswald, that the un
dergratuate major in Business
Education in the College of
Education, The Pennsylvania
State University, be phased out.
Present plans call for beginning
this phase-out immediately.
The College of Education would
like to request your assistance in
implementing this change. The
College of Education will, of
course, make it possible for any
student now admitted to the
University who wishes to com
plete the undergraduate program
in Business Education to do so.
However, in order to implement
this action in an orderly fashion,
the following procedures are
suggested.

vironment to counteract the
depersonalized character of the
physical structure of residence
halls,” the report said.
Some of the primary concerns
of the committee are:
Government: what forms or
modes of government within each
of the residence halls are
feasible?
Maintenance: what actions or
responsibilities in the areas of
repair, upkeep, or renovation
should be open to residence halls
government?
Liability: what are the legal or
insurance liability implications
of prospective changes of
responsibility for maintenance in
residence halls?
Security: how can the personal
and property interests of in
dividuals and of the University be
protected?
Social Rules: what ad
justments in social rules might be
considered for immediate im
plementation by residence hall
governments? Which rules
changes could be considered for
implementation in the future or
on a limited, trial basis?
Staffing : how should the roles
of residence hall staff be defined
in view of the above areas ?

B. Any student at your Cam

common year (first three terms)
in the College of Education,
should be advised that the un

program in Business Education,
they will be permitted to enroll in
that program as sophomores, and
it will be possible for them to

deferred college entrance plan.
The innovation, announced by
Dr. Allan Kuusisto, president of
the colleges, will allow students
to postpone entrance six to 24
months from the Usual Sep
tember date.
What would the deferred
entrant do before going to
college? He could travel ex
tensively to follow up a special
interest, college officials pointed
out. Or he might want to discover
the practical aspects of earning a
living by working.
" Other possibilities would be

Army or work in a vocational
field similar to that he hopes to do
eventually. A future student
might want to' pick up some
specific skills that he otherwise
might not be able to, they pointed
out.
Effective immediately for both
men and women students-the
two colleges operate as coor
dinate institutions-the plan was
■devised by John S. Witte, director
of admissions at Hobart, and
Leonard Wood, admissions
director of William Smith, the
women’s college. They em
phasized that the plan is a
guarantee of admission to college
at a time when the student wishes
to attend.
Both Mr. Witte and Mr. Wood
asserted that the colleges are
prepared to offer an orientation
program if there are enough
pupils interested in entering
through this innovative program
at periods, other than September.
Students accepted would pay the
matriculation fee but would not
necessarily start college in
September, and could delay it up
to a limit of two years.

in Business Education from any
other curriculum in the College of
Education or from any
curriculum in any other college
in the University.
D. Students beginning as first
term freshmen in the Summer
Term 1971 or in the Fall Term
1971 should be advised that it will
not be possible for them to enroll
in the undergraduate program in
Business Education.
If you run into any problems or
anticipate any difficulty in
helping to implement the
discontinuation of the un
dergraduate major in Business
Education, as outlined above,
Mr. Goetz shall be pleased to do
anything to help assist with those
problems. Your cooperation, and
the cooperation of other ad

Spring Festival
At Main Campus
University Park, Pa. Fun will
be their basic theme, but a better
mankind their ultimate goal as
students, faculty and staff of the
Pennsylvania State University
join hands in a unique new
venture called “The Renaissance
Festival.”
Scheduled for May 14 - 23, the
program will bring together
already established concepts
such as the Black Arts Festival,
Colloquy and the annual Spring
Week Carnival and surround
them with a whole galaxy of new
and different cultural events with
the idea of focusing national
attention on the problems of the
disadvantaged.
“The primary thrust of the
Renaissance Festival will be to
try to awaken society to its
responsibility for bringing all
members of the community into
the mainstream of life,” report
Festival co-chairmen Walter
Walters, dean of the College of
Arts and Architecture at the
University, and Jim Antoniono,
president of the Undergraduate
Student Government.
And to manifest that thrust in
its truest sense, disadvantaged
youngsters from throughout the
State will be invited to come to
Penn State and become involved
in the Festival, participating in
its workshops and experiencing
personally its cultural
achievements.
“We hope that what we launch
here in 1971 will become an an
nual event, not just at Penn State,
but at college and university
campuses across the Nation,”
according to Dean Walters and
Antoniono.
The Festival has also received
the full support of Penn State
President John W. Oswald who
has urged all members of the
University community to give
appropriate priority to its aims
and goals.
The real sponsor of the week of
fun, culture and enjoyment is the
Renaissance Fund, a special
program established last year by
the Penn State Board of Trustees
to “signify the rebirth of efforts
to help needy students from
environments of the
educationally and socially
disadvantaged.”
Basically, the Fund seeks to
raise money for the granting of
scholarships, loans and other
forms of financial aid to needy
students or prospective students,
who come from socially or
educationally disadvantaged

situations
But the Festival itself will not
be so much a fund-raiser as an
attempt to. bring nationwide
attention to the concepts of the
fund and its objectives.
Efforts are underway to have
nationally known figures in all
fields of Oie fine arts as honorary
chairmen for the Festival and its
various categories.
Programs in music, dialogue,
photography, film, dance,
painting, sculpture, theatre,
readings and architecture are
being prepared to “achieve
maximum personal involvement
in and commitment to social
change which would equalize the
opportunity for personal
fulfillment among members of
society.”
Colloquy ‘7l, a program begun
by students two years ago to
place the emphasis of student
activism on dialogue
discussion rather than dissent
and disruption will kick off
Renaissance Week.
Based on the theme of “Ex
periencing Change Yesterday,
Today, Tomorrow,” the program
will feature nationally known
speakers and a series of
workshops centered on the four
major topics of social, economic,
educational and political change.
One speaker already com
mitted for the program is Julian
Bond, the first Black ever
nominated for the vice
presidency of the United States
and now a member of the Georgia
State Legislature.
The Black Arts Festival will
take the spotlight during the
middle portion of. the 10-day
program, with the annual Spring
Week Carnival, complete with
skits and game booths, bringing
it all to a climax the weekend of
May 21-22.
Meanwhile, artists, sculptors
and film-makers from across the
country are being invited to take
part in the week-long exhibitions,
sales and competitions that will
dominate the educational ven
ture.
“The Renaissance Festival is a
means of showing our support for
the Renaissance Fund and the
Renaissance concept,” maintain
Dean Walters and Antoniono. “It
will provide a creative purpose
for students, faculty the entire
University family and beyond
to put their commitment into
action through the use of then
talents in an annual event sup
porting Renaissance goals.”
