The purpose of the committee is "to determine what are the spe cific post-war" problems to which the College should give special consideration at this time, and to recommend to the President of the College how each of these should be attacked." In establishing the committee the President said, "The• problems are many:. some Should, be. dealt with at once, others must wait uppp information not yet avail able. It seems advisable, therefore, for the committee to report when ever it has. a definite•recommenda tion, rather than- to wait -until it has completed its study." • Adrian Q.

Harvey, physical edu cation instructor at the College, who , feels that rods, lines, and reels will be harder to get this year than trout. Harvey, who is teaching a spe- Oaf 'class in. fly casting at the. Col lege, predicted• a good- season but warned that unless e*.isting equip ment is conserved the lure of the trout stream will be meaningless for most sportsmen. ' _He .reiterated his, classroom sug gestion that'the rod not be brought far back over the shoulder - before casting; ekplaining: that this • fre quently results in- snagging the line or fly. Instead, he advised keeping the elbow close to the side and stressing 'wrist, rather than arm, action in casting. Other suggestions are: Reivax rods two or 'three times during the season, and revarnish when cracks appear. Rewrap with silk. thread when . old wrappings show sign of "wear. and guides grow loose. - Wash' , lines with a mild soap and, then. ruliwith felt until warm before. using for the first time. To close breaks , coat silk lines with paraffin in cake forth, then rub with wool or paper. clear], arid dry linen in. loose -coils. after every. trip. • - To - avert `mast and damage from grit disassemble reels, clean, and cover thin: film of . oil.' Keep gears greased. Leaders should. be saved and. retied, and hooks from old flies may be retied with new lures.

BOTTLED UNDER' AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA cOMPARY BY COCA-COLA BOTTLING :COMPANY of -ALTOONA. Dr. Moore's Panel Report Lists Speed-Up Effects Dr. B. V. Moore, head of the de partment of education and psy chology, will speak at the "School man's Week" conference series be ing held at the University of Pennsylvania Wednesday through Saturday by the American Asso- Ciation of University Professors, Dr. Moore will present a panel report of his department's findings in regard to the effects of acceler ation programs on college organi zation and morale. C: 0. Williams, assistant profes sor of education, director of teach-. er placement, and president of the Pennsylvania Institutional Teach er Placement Association, will preside over another panel discus sion on teacher placement at' the same • conference, it was mounced. Three other members of the education school' will attend the conferences, . Dr. C. D. Champlin arid Profs. Mary Jane Wyland and Mabel Kirk. The report made . by Dr. Moore will be based upon research studies carried on by his depart ment to measure ..the effects of "Acceleration at the College Level as a Permanent Feature." In the report, Dr. Moore states that, "No defects of acceleration should be used as an excuse for inertia or• regression to obsolete curricula and methorls-in• our col leges." . He indicates that the results of acceleration are' measurable to .sorne. extent today. The unpublished thesis of George Castore, .a graduates stu dent in education, shows some conclusions • regarding these ef fect& - Fopty students who had' completed four - years of high school were matched- against 40 who had completed only. three and one-half high school years and one semester of college. Their sex, curricula, and aptitudes. were con stant factors. No Statistical differ ences were found• to exist between Cork Compant interviews J..E. Smith, employment super= visor of the 'Armstrong Cork Com pany, Lancaster, _Pa., .will be on Cariiptis Monday, April 3, to .inter view senior•students. . Mr.- Smith is interested in see ing women from the following curricula( ph y s-i c s, : chemistry, .MathematicS, economics, or busi ness administration, with .a. goOd accounting background. He is also interested in talking, to draft-ex 'empt engineering •staidentS. _ Ar rangements for inter-views should be made as soon as possible in 204 Old 'lVl,ain. • the groups, in academic achieve. ment or attitudes toward educa tion. Research findings have, accord. Ink to Dr. Moore, shown that younger entrants make as good or better grades as average-age en trants, that they less often present disciplinary, problems, and gener• ally show more stability. Average scholarship as mea sured through grades has shown a rise of a few hundredths of a poin t during the past two years, Dr. Moore has found. ' The features of acceleration which studies show to be most objectionable are o verloa d . e d schedules and too-long colleges years, according to surveys by the Psycho-educational Clinic. Rest lessness and tension are noted in both faculty and students from continuous college attendance. As a result ,of the research which was cited, Dr. Moore will offer to the conference the follow.. ing proposals and generaliza tions: Educational opportunities should be available throughout the year to meet the demand for various forms of acceleration which will continue even after the war. Those forms of acceleration which improve the effectiveness of methods and curricula should become permanent features o.i education. , . Study load and length of col lege year should be adjusted, to the capacities and needs of the students. Old and new methods of plan ning semesters should be re-eval uated. A work-study cycle should b( , made available to both students and faculty. Thus the eradents could obtain valuable practical experience alternated with the theoretical aspects of study, and the faculty could have opportu nity for research, travel, or pro fessional work, at all seasons o the year, incidentally eliminating the problem of flooding labor markets exclusively in the sum - mers. 8,400 Alumni in Service Pefin State alumni and former students:now in the armed serv ices are estimated to be -8,500, ac cording to the Penn State Alumni Association. The total casualtie.; number approximately 100. Sev • enty- . two graduates have been 're parted, killed or missing. This fig ure is exactly the same as tail total number killed in World.
