With financial assistance from The Fund for Adult Education l the Pennsr lvania State University will conduct an extensive program of liberal education for adults throughout Pennsylvania during the next five years. The !und has approved a grant of $298 0 000 to help the University in the development of the project, which will also be supported in part through fees received from participants in the program. The project, as outlined, will develop formal and informal programs of liberal adult education throughout the state by working prihncipallY through voluntary organizations such as rural groups, labor unions, local adult education groups, women's organizations, professional and civic groups, service clubs, and industrial groups. Professional educators on the Penn State faculty will be joined on the teaching staff by lay teachers. Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academia affairs at the University, says the project will make it possible for Penn State to balance its adult education work s which is now primarily vocational and pro— fessional in nature with a broad program of liberal education. He explains that the University has a responsibility for making available a program in liberal adult education and that such a p. , ..ogram is vitally impottant to the edibation of the adult citizens of the Commonwealth. "To fulfill its mission both as a state university, and a land—grant institution, Penn State has developed an educational program with a thrust that is three-. folds in resident instruction, in extension instonntloni and in FRIDAY OCTOBER 24 1958 research.

Dr« D. Shutt, assistant dean of men, proposed the idea. A spokesman for the IFC scholarship committee said, "We feel that not enough recognition is given to those who do well in school during the first year, and that too much attention is given to the large pereehtage that drop or flunk out in their freshman Srear. We have decided, with the backing of the Dean Men's Office, to honor those men who deserve recognition for their outstanding scholarship record." The fraternity will eventually become a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, the largest honorary of this type in the nation . . There are 88 chapters of Phi Eta Sigma throughout the coVntry. A first semester grade average of 1.5 or better to gain recognition and invitation by the committee is necessary. ******** 6* .* STAFF - - H T * ED1T0R.......Tan Maxwell A * ASSIST ED....M.
