Page Two SPRING SOCIAL ACTIVITIES As the Spring' Term draws to a close, Highacres students are able to look back in retrospect at a few of the outstanding social activities held during the last few weeks. Last Sunday, June 2, a weenie roast was held at Highacres Cam pus. Mr. Whitney chaperoned this afternoon event; typical picnic food was the order of the day. The Theta Sigma Pi Sorority held its annual May Ball Saturday evening, May 24. The S.U.B. caf eteria was beautifully decorated in keeping with the ball theme of “South Pacific” and was a tribute to the students who gave freely of their time during the previous week to create the setting. High point of the evening was the crowning of the Maq Queen, Sorority President Kay Yencho. Although the signs of another spring ripening into summer are most welcome to Highacres students, the end of this term also carries with it a poignant note of sadness. Many of us here will 1 , in a very short time, have attended our last class on this campus, drunk our last cup of coffee in the 5.U.8., and perhaps said -goodby to a favorite friend whose path no longer jruns parallel to our own. It has been said that all good things must come to an end; liowever, this comment implies that they must also have a beginning somewhere along the chosen path. It is on this note that the staff of the Highacres Collegian extends sincere best wishes to the Associate Degree graduates, to those who will transfer to the University Park Campus or elsewhere, .and Jo those who will return here to fill our places in the fall. May you find happiness and increasing satisfaction in the knowledge that what you have acquired here is an invaluable cornerstone to the house of learning in which we hope you will reside all of your lives, if not in an actualclassroom, in practicing being an informed and aware American citizen doing his or her best for the benefit of self and country. Many thanks to our teachers who have shared a part of their learning with us and to our advisor, Mr. Price, for his in valuable aid and understanding in helping us to put out this publication. We hope those whose names next appear on the masthead will enjoy the Collegian experience in equal measure.

Judy Wagner Ist term Special Education: “I think the federal government should intervene in the racial problem in the South. As it has got to end, someone has to step in. If the state governments are not going to take the incentive, then I feel the federal government has the right and should step in.” Larry Lash 6th term Business Administration “If the crisis reaches a point where there is no other alterna tive, and if it would be for the bet terment of the Negro race and their relation with the whites, I feel the federal government should intervene.” Susan Grow 2nd term Liberal Arts “No, they should not intervene, because if the southerners had been left to their own devices, the racial problem would not be, be cause it would have died out a long time ago.” Carolyn Egger June Fiel ... Phil Jeffries Gregg Smith Phil Jeffries 3rd term Liberal Arts: “I don’t think the federal gov ernment should intervene down South, because the Negroes should be left to work this out them selves. They are making progress a little at a time now. If the fed eral government intervened and forced the southerners to accept integration, it wouldn’t be as ef fective or democratic as if they were left to choose for them selves.” College Determines Number of Credits Students are advised to keep track of the number of credits they have and also to determine how many credits are required by their curriculum for graduation. Another requirement which de serves attention is that the last 60 credits must be taken on main campus at University Park. Therefore, at the beginning of this spring term, some of the sopho mores were requested to sign a paper acknowledging the number of credits they had at that time, and the required number for grad uation. These were the students who, due to the number of credits taken at the Highacres Campus, plus the required 60, would have had more than the designated amount for their curriculums. The average number of credits for several of the main colleges includes: Agriculture, 130; Busi- June 4, 1963 New College I Created In University STATE COLLEGE The Col lege of Chemistry and Physics will be discontinued July 1 and the de partments now included in it will become parts of the new College of Sciences, John R. Rackley, vice president for residential instruc tion, announced recently. The new college will include the departments of chemistry, physics, biochemistry and mathematics, he said. Statistics and computer sci ence, scheduled to become depart ments at a later date, will be part of the mathematics departments. Additional departments to be in cluded in the College of the Sci ences are botany, zoology and bacteriology. The formation of the new col lege is a result of a Board of Trustee decision in January. At that time the Board decided to im prove the University’s organiza tion by grouping the University’s non-vocationally oriented depart ments and curricula into three “core” colleges: the College of the Liberal Arts, the College of Art and Architecture and the College of the Sciences. In January, departmental reor ganization was initiated with the creation of the College of Art and Architecture. This college grouped together departments which were formerly located in the colleges of liberal arts; engineering and ag riculture. Long Receives Book Award On Sunday, May 12, Miss An netta L.
