WHITMORE SPEAKS
ON ATOMIC HABITS
Chemistry, Physics Dean Addresses
Third Liberal Arts Forum in
* xfeme Economics Unit,
With the “Habits of the Atom” as
his topic, Dean Frank C. Whitmore, of
the. School of Chemistry and Physics,
delivered tho third Liberal Arts lec
ture in the Home Economics auditor
ium Tuesday night.
.Two charts, Avogadro’s Number
and- the elements, served as illustra
tions in his talk. Using the black
board to point out the compositions
of simple compounds, the sneaker out
lined the relative simpleness of-well
known substances in their chemical!
proportions. j
Illustrating with' a small flask of!
water, Dean Whitmore explained thej
possible complexities contained there-!
in. “The’number 606 . plus twenty-!
one zeros, or Avogadro’s Number,” ho j
stated, “is the number of atoms hi
the bottle. It is more correct than
a census of the United States, because
St is more consistent.” (
“Supposing that each atom in the
small bottle were marked, one could
pour the water into any stream on
earth, and be able to find one of the
marked atoms in a container of water
dipped from any other stream at any
other point on the globe,”, he ex
plained. “Such an experiment seems
almost unbelievable, yet it - is true.”

isters. To hide tell-tale nervous af
fects that arc common to high alti
tude singing, is a major task, accord
ing to Peg.

WOMEN SANCTION
HANDBOOK MERGER
W. S. G. A., Panhellenic Council
Approve Plans Proposed
By Student Groups
A proposed merger of the men’s
and women's handbooks received fa
vorable action Tuesday when W. S. G.
A. and Panhellenic Council approved
resolutions drafted by a student com
mittee appointed to study details of
the change.
Providing for a cbmbination of both
books next year, the plan would place
publication under the P. S. C. A. and
W. S. G. A., the latter also represent
ing Panhellenic Council, W. A. A., and
Y. W. C. A.
With the approval of this plan by
W. S. G. A. and Panhellenic Council,
the change will become effective im
mediatefy after Easter vacation upon
final acceptance of P. S. C. A., W.
A. A., and Y. W. C. A. who will con
sider the proposal in the near future.
3 Groups To Act on Plan
The proposed plan would .place ad
ministration of the combined hand
book in a staff of four.seniors and
thirteen juniors. An editor, women’s
editor, business manager, and his as
sistant would compose ..the.. senior,
group, while three men and three
women would serve on the junior edi
torial- staff and seven juniors would
act as business assistants.
Under the plans for amalgamation,
the senior editorial board will be held
responsible for an evaluation of space
in proportion to the importance of the
' different College activities. Ap
pointments made by the editor, and
business manager shall be subject to
approval by the P. S. C. A., while
women candidates shall be accepted

DUTCHER ADDRESSES CLUB
Prof. R. Adams Dutcher, of the de
partment of agricultural and biolog
ical chemistry, addressed the Johns
town Kiwanis club yesterday, His
topic was “Foods We Eat and Why!
\Vc Eat Them.”
Scenery is now completed, and will be
removed from the old Pastime The
atre, scene of the construction work,
and former center of Penn State's
dramatic parados.
Grooming for their “balcony to
stage” scene, Maimed and Edwards
have reached a point where trapeze
work would be tame. Maimed, in
making his voice audible to Edwards,
perched on a balcony balustrade, has
exceeded his Recreation hall volume
for boxing announcements.
, Edwards, as the- rail-bird in the
scene, slips various .wisecracks to the
stage, accompanied 'by outright inat
tention from his victims. Bursting
into song from his precarious posi
tion, Edwards will emulate Helen
Morgan in a more gross mood,- hence
the balcony instead of a piano as-a
basis for his drama.

DRAFTS 11 PLANS
A. A. U. P. Group Proposes Tentative
Arrangements To Insure
Faculty Health
Eleven tentative recommendations
of tho A. A. U. P. committee on fac
ulty health and recreation have been
temporarily proposed for considera
tion in the near future, according to
Dr. Ehvood C. Davis, of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics, who
heads the committee.
Primary among the tentative plans
aro recommendations providing for an
optional annual physical examination
for present faculty members and a
compulsory physical examination for
prospective faculty members. Dr. Jo
seph I*. Ritenour and Prof. Nelson R.
Walke, of the Physical Education
School, have been requested to develop

the inspection of nearby pools is be
ing carried out by Professor Joel A.

husbandry, and Prof. Harrison M.

Among the newer ideas sponsored
by the committee is a provision pro
posing tho required withdrawal of
teachers from direct contact with
other teachers and students in the ease
of colds, grippe, and other comnmni
cablo diseases. The A. A. U. P. com
mitteo 1 investigating the rumor of a
