A priority number system ihas taken care of that. According to the present plans of the Artists’ Course Committee, the numbers will be available for students at. the Athletic Association at 4 p. m. Tuesday, December 2, ind for faculty and towns people at 4 p, m. Wednesday, December 3. The priority cards which will be distributed will in clude a schedule for the holder to return the next day and secure his ticket, This plan may have its faults, but it also elim inates some of the worries following the annual congestion of students, faculty, and townspeople in Old Main ou the morning that the, course tickets were to ha sold. Every year, folding chairs, blankets, thermos bottles, and milk con tainers were brought, as Artists’ Course die-hards camped on Old Main steps at midnight and stayed there until the doors opened at 7 a. m. Long lines weaving through the first floor lounge, along the halls, and around the pillars kept students from attending classes and frater 'nity freshmen from getting any sleep at all. The new system will require those with cards to buy Jr tickets at a specific hour and no other. : However, we cannot expect this priority plan to overcome sill the congestion or faults of the present ticket selling system. Schwab Auditorium, has only a limited number of seats for a student ’■body of 7,000 and those who come first, will be served first.' At least the ordeal of that annual sleepless night of waiting outside Old Main for the doors to open will no longer be borne by Artists' Course patrons. They can sleep in comfort knowing that their chances of getting a ticket .starts at 4 p. m„ instead of midnight. Councils Take Stock Considered the weak Sister of student govern ment, school councils have revived their organi sation's this year and are making a sincere at tempt to foster student-faculty relations. . Not only student-faculty relations have been, increased, but an effort to solve school problems and establish a center of activity within the schools has been made. With the steady diver sion of school functions from, College activities, due to the widening scope of the College, school councils can become more and more the centraliz ing group and spokesmen of their particular school. Now, the councils are awakening to the fact that they can become a strong medium of ex pression. They see that through their schools many individual and collective difficulties can be ironed out, not only between student and fa culty, but also between student.and student. One example is the evident transformation of the Liberal Arts Council, which heretofore had been one of the weakest links within the council system. Their investigation into the faculty ad visors system, the sponsoring of better student faculty relations, and the attempt to clear up the crowded conditions in Sparks Building is to be commended. , A fire which broke out iii Sparks Building yesterday illustrated the need for better routing of students through the building. With the order ing of students to use the south entrance only as an exit, the council eliminated a dangerous fire hazard, that of crowded conditions in case of aln. emergency. We hope that the student body cooperates with the council in attempting 1,0 observe this regula tion and oilier,s which may bra issued Con student 'welfare, Downtown Office .19-121 South Frasier St Phono 4172 Richard 3.

FERGUSON Assistant Professor of Agricultural Journalism Agriculture //> Defense Results of agricultural research that, are good in peace arc equally valuable in limes ot war or in a national defense program. The defense effort has been given quiet but notable support from the beginning by The Pennsylvania State College Agricultural Research Experiment Sta tion. Research is started at the Station, as a rule, in response to demands originating among farmers and processors of farm products of the state. Ad visory committees serving without pay have been set up in each branch of agriculture, such as dairying, poultry husbandry, fruit growing, to bacco culture, agricultural engineering, Livestock farming, etc. Each of these groups meets an nually with the members of the staff concerned to discuss research in progress, and to.plan help ful investigations. Advice offered by these groups has proved invaluable in countless in stances. Continuation and enlargement of the present long-time program of research at the Station was recommended at a national defense conference held at State College, March 14, 1941. Repre sentatives of practically all the prominent farm organizations and of the federal action agencies operating in the state were present. Immediate needs arising out of the defense program may met by the service phase of work already under way or completed, they agreed. Farm groups were asked to report situations which might be improved through the employment of the facilities of the Experiment Station, The list of instances where results of experi ments conducted at the Station during the past year or two have proved or promise to prove immediately Invaluable might be extended almost indefinitely. It should include mention of con trol measures which have reduced dr image by grape berry moth from almost half in some vine yards to practically- nothing. Annual trials of vegetable seeds prove the suitability of new varieties before growers go to the trouble of trying them out in extensive plantings, Vitamin analyses indicate the importance of B-l in the diets of soldiers. This and other vitamins may even be considered implements of warfare in times to come. Also tests of dura bility and laundering qualities of cloth have set up Standards of measurements which have at tracted the attention of government purchasing agents in outfitting the Army and Navy.
