Hetzel Names
Specia/ Group
President Ralph D. Hetzel ap
pointed a faculty committee to
study post-war problems of the
College on March la.
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."

How to Conserve
Fishing Equipment
_ Ways to conserve fishing equip
ment were outlined today by
George W. 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.

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.
