Summer School Notes
From Last Year
The "enjoy life wh.le you study" theme of last
'ear's Summei Session worked to nem perfection
in the exiensive iecieation piogiam directed by
Di Ai thin F Davis and Miss Maim Haidt
With a mogiam designed to provide activity
of a vatted natui a for both men and women, it
a, inteiesting to note that every student, regard-
Jess of age, se', or SIM, was given an opportunity
io engage in one foim of recreation of another
Gaining Renown
Rapidly becoming known for its meaningful
causes in health education because of an attempt
to include in such couises the findings of recent
expeiimental and clinical studies from the fields
of medicine, nub ition, physiological chemistry,
pxychologv, and biology, the School of Physical
Ecluci'ation and Athletics is to be mostly praised
rm its achievements in extending the summer fa

Although Penn State's Summer Session is only 28 yews old, the
fast students to enroll in the College in 1859 were Summer students
and present cla , ,ses ate no mote than a :eversion to old customs

Make-Up Course
Summer Feature
Demonstrations Valuable
To Directors And Women
Anyone engaged in producing
plays should have a good course
in make-up because of its difficult
technique The division- of dra
matics has engaged fa the Sum
mer Session one of the finest
make-up men of the country ,Aar
on Zauder Last summer Mr Zau
der gave a series of make-up dem
onstrations which met with the
approval of everyone who waked
with him Knowing now exactly
what the student needs he will be
even betles prepared to give a
course in make-up Mr Zauder
will be on the campus during the
third week of the main Summa
Session
It takes a real knowledge of the
dramatic a', well as skill in the
application of cosmetics to use
tnese propel ly If one sits close
to the stage in the average ama
teur play, one is amai'ed at the
very bad make-up of the actdrs
Rouge is put on the wrong places
or smeared over the face, eye
brows are arched when they
should be straight, wrinkles look
like so many smudges, and beards
attached so precariously that the
audience is sure they will fall off
during the play, and often they do
"God has given you one face
and you make yourselves anoth
er," said Hamlet to Ophelia If
these had been in those days to
day's make-up products Hamlet
would never have known that wo
men even had another face
From Hamlet's time to the pres
ent day the theatre made truly re
markable progress In 'Shake
speare's days many of the arts of
the theatre had yet to be discov
ered and developed Not the least
of the many improvements in the
theatre is the refinement of the at t
of make-up Modern science has
developed truly wonderful make
up aids Today there ale really
smooth grease paints made in a'l
wide variety of colors, fine eye
brow pencils, new shades of rouge,
soft pastel shades in eye shadow,
and a number of other articles
which can transfoim a face so that
it bears no resemblance to the
original
Summer Session To Meet
State Requirements
For 'Ag' Certificates
Because of the phenomenal
growth of agricultural education,
about 25 per cent of the agi icul
tui al teachers in service in this
state have but one to three years
of teaching lexperience
Summer ,Session is planned to
meet the certification regulations
and requirements of this particu
lar group Three years of suc
cessful teaching and the satisfac
tory post-baccalaureate comple
tion of at least six semester hours
of course work of collegiate grade
are the requirements for perma
nent certification in Pennsylvania
In addition, the 1940 Summer
Session offers the agricultural un
dergraduate an opportunity to
speed up his program Required
and elective work in agriculture,
related sciences, and psychology
may be scheduled.
'Why. Cars Are Traded'
Subject Of Wyand Study
Why people trade their old cars
for-new ones may be answered in
the near future by Charles S Wy
and, assistant professor of eco
nomics, who is making a thor
ough study of the problem.
Professor Wyand has discovered
that owning a new car becomes
a habit with many people Elab
orating on his discovery Wyand
said' "It N easier to post pone buy
ing one's first can than it is to
postpone replacing an old one The
new buyer is more likely to fear
depressions and economic insecur
ity than one who has owned a car."
At the University of California
at Los Angeles 7,846 students
drive to college' daily in 4,654 cars.

Large Recreation Program Provided
For Students During Summer Session ;
Dances, AMateur Nights Planned-
SWIMMING
By JOHN E. MILLER
Summer Session Publicity Director
The unusual location of The
Pennsylvania State College pro
vides a natural amphitheatre for
play, recreation and wholesome
retreat from concentrated study
Situated as 'it is, the surrounding
valley and mountains supplant
many ofathose features of summer
retreat for which one looks when
on a vacation
Few summer session institutions
are so located that the surrounding
natural beauty is just as natural a
part 6f its "offerings" and contri
bution to its students as its fine
academic program The adminis
tration has recognized these great
possessions and have made exten
sive plans to utilize every avenue
of wholesome retreat and diver
sion, both on and off the campus,
that those of the summer session
may find a happy fusion, of play,
sociability and recreation in their
summer studies
They know that many of those
who attend this session come here
following a hard and strained year
of work in the schools It 'is their
wish, that in these pursuits stu
dents be 'given equal consideration
In a restful summer as well as me
of academic' attainment They rec
ognize that at the end of summer
students go to another year of
concentrated work
They wish to give something
which will be sufficiently relaxing
and relieving to send students
back to their work, not only with
educational advancement, but also

Phys Ed Teacher
Advised To Play
Summer Teaching. Course
To Stress New Methods
The School of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics sponsors the
philosophy and practices the prin
ciple that teachers interested in
professional growth need to re
create, relax, play, and enjoy life
quite as much as or even more than
leachers who are at a professional
stand-still Coupled with this IS
another principle, "practice what
you preach," which is obytous
in the. professional courses in rec
reation, athletic coaching, health
education-and physical education
Courses at The Pennsylvania
State College in each of these four
fields provide the teacher with up
to-the minute materials, programs,
methods, and pointt of view The
recreational approach rather than
the academic textbook approach is
used in courses in recreational
leadership and in the administra
tion of programs of recreation
' All coaching courses offered this
summer count tomid advanced
degrees and are designed for the
experienced coach Opportunities
are offtred for expeiimentatton rn
and analysis of the skills, methods,
strategy and plays in different
sports Students-are informed of

been conducted here at the College

experimental researches from such
fields as psychology, medicine, nu

ways of unifying scientific facts

Since the appearance of C'ontes
