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

group s to attend.

ping pong, badminton, table ten
nis, bridge will make up. an eve

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! Offers Symposium
"Education• in the Minority
Problem" will be the topic of a
symposium at Hillel Foundation
services, 7:30 o'clock tonight.
Martin Cohn, Alan Kahn, and
Louis Ullman are in charge.
