An extra afternoon hour of recrea
bon for students will be added to the
College schedule by a plan to be con
sidered at a meeting of the executive
committee of the Board of Trustees

Just how the extra hour will be
added has not yet been determined,
College authorities said. It is prob
able that either the clock will be
moved one hour ahead and dinner
hour set back or all classes will be
moved back one hour.
I=l
Student requests for moving the
time schedule ahead one hour have
been presented to College authorities

the committee as a possible solution

Duty-Bound' to Aid
Cultural Plan
Artists courses should be brought
back to the Penn State students next
year, five of arc deans agreed when
interviewed Sunday regarding the
feasibility of the College sponsoring
the courses here again
Of the six School heads, all believed
that the concerts were extremely de

student must not be denied the chance
to assimilate this necessary part of a
well-rounded college education"
Since Penn State is not situated in
contra of culture, accoiding to Dean
Frank C. Whitmore, of the School of
Chemistry and Physics, the College Is
duty-bound to try to support a course
of this type Honorer precautions
should be taken to insure a favorable

"Reflection has been cast upon the
artistic taste of the College students
because of their unwillingness to give
proper support to the Artists course
in former years," stated Dean Edward
Steidle, of the School of Mineral In

entertainniant and I "consider it a
shame that a faculty of 500 and a
