With a plurality of 97 votes, Gladys Stryker, Lion, became secretary-treasurer of the first semester class, nosing out Felix Roth, Key, and El'wood Petchal, Nittany.

Three new departments will be created—earth 'sciences, mineral engineering, and mineral technol ogy. Heads -of the departments will coordinate 12 divisions of work: geology, mineralogy, geo physics, meteorology, geography, mineral economics, mining, miner al preparation, petroleum and natural gas, fuel technology, met allurgy, and ceramics. In addition, Mineral Industries Extension Services and the Min eral Industries Experiment Sta tion each will be served by a di rector. Chiefs of the divisions are key men and will give close attention to student personnel and guid ance, Dean Steidle said. He ex plained the three principal class ifications this way: “The earth sciences are con cerned with those divisions of natural science which relate spec ifically to the earth—land, air, and water. Mineral engineering is concerned with extracting min erals from the earth and prepar ing them for use—conserving and making available mineral matter, including fuel. Mineral technology is the science and systematic knowledge of primary methods of processing and treating mineral matter and directing its industrial utilization.” This plan, Dean Steidle said, is geared to the future needs of the mineral industries of the Com monwealth and is in accordance with the spirit of the organic Land-Grant Act.
