THE D AILY COT .T
Given. In Latin American
In keeping with the spiirt of
Pan-Americanism, the College
has increased the number of
courses dealing with Latin Am
erica until it is now quite pos
sible to make 24 credits directly
in this field, Dr. Raymond E.
Murphy, • associate professor 'of
geography, has announced.
The largest number of courses
on - Latin. America is offered by
the department of history, but
the geography and Spanish divi
sions are represented by two
courses each.
"Any student who is planning
to work in the Latin American
field should have a knowledge of
the languages used in these
countries. Enough . courses in
Spanish'should be taken so as to
gain a working knowledge of this
language, "it was' stated.
"Although the future is very
much of an unceVtainty, there is
ample reason to believe that we
are to have increasingly close re
lations with our neighbors of the
Western Hemisphere."
"The background," it was add
ed, acquired from cburses on
Latin America that a student
may elect during the next few
years may well prove to be a
very valuable asset later, when
contacts with South' and Central
America become everyday af
fairs."
The courses that will be offer
ed, all of which are three-credits,
beginning next semester are as
follows:
22. Latin American History to
1820:
23. Latin •American History
since 1820.
• -460. Latin America and the
United. States,
461. Social and Cultural His
tory of Latin America.
Geography
410. Geography of Middle
America.
411. Geography of South Am
erica.
409. Introduction to Latin-
American Literature.
410. Itnroduction to Latin-
American Literature (second
semester)

Extension Heads
Attend Confab
J. Orvis Keller, assistant to
the president in charge of ex
tension, will preside at the 26th
annual conference of the Na
tional University Extension As
sociation to be held in Okla
homa City May 5,6, and 7.
Leaving Saturday for the con
ference with Mr. Keller are
Prof. H. B. Northrup, director
of Mineral Industries Extension,
Prof. E. L. Keller, director of
Engineering Extension, David B.
Pugh, director of Arts and
Science Extension, and H. G.
Pyle, supervisor. of informal in
struction.
The theme of the conference
is "University Extension• and
Total Defense."
Draft
(Continued on Page Three)
their classroom work, courses
they have completed and their
relative scholastic - standing.
Space will also be provided for
any additional information which
might aid local draft boards in
deciding a student's "potential
importance to national health,
safety or welfare. Each student
will be asked specifically if he
has assurance of a job after
graduation.
3. When the "Statement of In
formation." has been completely
filled out, the student will mail
one copy- to his local board and
give a second copy to the college.
College officials will prepare
sworn affidavits endorsing the
student's information.
Last but far from least, college
officials will answer the question:
"Is occupational deferment rec
ommended , for this student?"
Needless to say a lot will depend
on the answers.
There are only two possible
hitches to the plan. One is that
all colleges will not cooperate.
However, Penn State will.
The other hitch is that all
local draft boards might not give
due attention to the informa
tion. In the past, they have been
snowed under with countless
affidavits, recommendations and
memorandums and have not been
too receptive to pleas for special
consideration of students.
However, local boards must not
close their• eyes to the import
ance of: this carefully prepared
information. They must be made
to realize that college students
ask only for a lair break and:are
more than willing to do their
share in national defense.

Radio Committee
To Stage Show
"The prospect of eventual
adoption-of a College radio sta
tion looks very good. Our job is
merely to speed up the works,"
said Richard E. Haskell '42,
chairman of the Student Radio
Committee as he announced.. that
plans for the proposed station
were progressing rapidly. •
In order to show what type of
program can be put on if and
when the station is erected, the
committee will stage a mock
program in Schwab Auditorium
on May 13. Named "Penn State
on the Air," the sample radio
shoW will include news sum
maries, music, and dramatic
skits.
The _proposed station, which
would operate on 5,000 watts
and cover the entire state, would
cost about $BO,OOO, Haskell ,esti
mated. The new building would
require about $25,000 of this sum,
and the equipment, including
transmitter, would cost about
$40,000. Operating expenses for
a year would run from $20,000 to
$25,000.
Everyone interested in the
radio project is invited to attend
the committee's meetings, which
are held in Old Main at 7 o'clock
eveiy Monday and Thursday eve
ning. Ideas, especially for skits,
will be welcomed.
