Fine Arts Prof Reports House of Tomorrow Plan Dropped for Duration The widely-advertised House of Tomorrow will not be adopted on a large scale until some years after the war, according to J. Burn Helme, professor of fine arts at the College, who believes the Amer ican people are extremely conserv ative in their attitude toward mod ern architecture. "The change from reminiscent styles of architecture with steeply sloped roofs or ornate decorations to a more utilitarian type of build ing Will be a gradual evolution, and will not occur in the immedi ate postwar period," the Penn State expert, who is past president of the Central Pennsylvania chap ter of American Institute of Ar chitects, said. Professor Helme, emphasizing that a sudden change to homes with flat, roofs, glass walls, and solar heating cannot occur over night, also expressed the belief that American insistence on indi viduality would forestall general acceptance of prefabricated homes. He agreed, however, that the re turn to civilian markets of build ing materials and mechanical ap pliances probably will hasten ar chitectural changes. Co-Rec Evening Replaces June All-College Carnival An All-College co-Rec evening has been planned in place of the previous annual All-College car nival that was in the making. Date set is the first Wednesday in June. This middle-week date was set to allow more of the service group s to attend.

Mrs. Joseph O'Brien, 'national first vice-president, was the guest speaker. Engineer Seeks Staff Candidates While Conrad Welch and Althea Schaffer have been appointed temporary co-editors of the Penn State Engineer, it was decided to give the Engineer two weeks to get together a staff for next se mester, according to Editor Eu gene Von Arx. Only seven members of the present staff will be back next semester, the Editor believes. Al most the entire staff will be af fected by the new 2-A. draft-rul ing, said Von Arx. Of the seven returning members, five are co eds. "The Engineer staff will need a great deal of help from en gineering students in college next semester," asserted the Editor. "It would be a shame if the mag azine, having ridden the crises so far, would fold because of lack of interest." Anyone interested in becoming a member of the staff is requested to come to 2. Armory Monday night. Candidates may also stop in anytime during the day. Depf. of Ag Eng Plans Building of Cold Box Plans are now being made to construct a 35 degree cold box in the College vegetable cellar, ac cording to R. U. Blasingame, head of the department of agricultural engineering. The purpose of this particular box is to study the effect of short-time cold storage upon the quality of small fruits and vege-: tables. The demand for cold boxes of this kind is tremendous, Professor Blasingame pointed out, since they appear to be ideal for storing fruits and vegetables for a short time prior to marketing. Such boxes would find extensive use on farms to age beef,' maintain high quality eggs, small fruits, vege tables, and other products until marketed. The cold box to be constructed by the department of agricultural engineering will be about 800 cubic feet in size and will be made from lumber pUrchased locally. A num ber of commercial companies have perfected what is known as a power panel, which makes it pos sible for any unskilled person to install his own cold box. Nille!
