The Ratio 12-2, Men Like To Cook We Would Toot, Two men on this campus may 'wear, the pants in their families a few years from now, but—they'll probably be doing the cooking too. Right now they're engrossed in turning .out culinary masterpieces :for Home Economics 1310—which •gives its students the fundamentals of cooking. 'The men, Jack Sheller and "Chuck" Arnold, are majoring in Hotel management and requisites .are three cooking courses, of which MO is the first. They are the only male cooks in a class of twelve. In this course, the future hotel- Ma•. - 1 agers learn how to cook greens—asparagus, broccoli, etc.— and how to prepare salads, meats, and egg dishes. Then too, they try their hand at baking such palat able dishes as biscuits, bread, pies, and creampuffs. According to Chef ;Sheller, the two male would-be cooks like the course. "We really enjoy it," he says, "except for having to eat our own food after we cook it." • Having eaten one of Jack's bis cuits, however, this reporter can vouch that they completely lack the proverbial bounce and are good lo the last crumb. Speaking in the words of an ex pert, Jack goes on to say, "Noth ing's hard to cook after you get the knack of it." , 'After Home Economics HO, Jack and "Chuck" will go on to 2.1 1 2, which is more fundamentals of cooking, and then to 330, quantity cookery. :With their "over-the-stove" ex perlence these two men sound like 'wonderful prospects for husbands. 'But, Jack didn't seem to like the idea too much when asked if he expected to do the family cooking. "We!" he exclaimed with quite a (bit of indignation. 'Wo, I don't." The followers of Anubis, Egyp tian god of the entombed, and first Egyptian embalmer, discov ered- the protective qualities of asphalt, and used it for preserv ing tha mummies of their rulers. Peters, 'Best-Equipped Farmer,' To Retire Dr. Charles C. Peters, who soon will retire, is liSted in nine differ ent "Who's Who" compilations, but not one of them mentions that he's "the best-equipped farmer in the nation." During the past 40 years, he has taught in 15 different colleges and universities; for the past 18, he has been professor of education and director of educational re search at the College. His retirement will be formally acted upon at' the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. Versatile Educator Dr. Peters has taught Latin, Greek, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, education, and sociol ogy. And even though he already has another job waiting for him when he retires his ambition is to become an "amateur farmer." Up in the mountains of Hunt ingdon County, near Stone Creek,. Doctor :Peters has a 156-acre farm—only one acre of which he has been farming and for which he has both a Fordson tractor and a double-bottom plow. To insure 'his self-bestowed title of "best-equipped farmer," he plans to buy a jeep to furnish transportation from his home in State College to his mountain hide-out. He began his teaching career in 1905 when he taught classical languages and mathematics—and, at 25, served as president—at Clarksburg (Missouri) 'College. It was there, also, that he met his wife, the former Dixie May Stone. Between 1907, when he left Clarksburg, and 1927 when he came to the College, he held a variety of jobs—at Westfield (11l- Main, Branch Libraries Contain 230,580 Books The total number of books in all the libraries on campus as of June 30 is 230,580, according to Evelyn Hensel, assistant librarian.

Many fathers, according to Mrs. Marion McDowell, family lire spe'cialist, get blue and• discour aged when their children fail to greet them with open arms during the first few days of homecoming. "Ninety-nine times ': , but of a hundred," she explained, that's needed . is' a little4ime and patience. It. takeS .for some children to grow accustomed to a new person in their...oivl small world." The best way, Mrs. 'll4 ; CilDowell believes, is for the father to gain gradually the confidence and af fection of his offspring by parti cipating with them in household activities, playing games, and tak ing walks. Mothers, she added, can do much to ease th e situation by building up the father's return, explaining the part "Daddy" has played in the war, and preparing the child for any changes in his appearance. Holland's transportation system has been so thoroughly depleted, even well-to-dO Netherlanders are riding bicycles—many of them without tires and both cycles and tires are greatly needed there, says American Relief for Holland, a National War Fund [member agency. • which •he thinks will take a year. He plans to commute between State College and Florida, when he'll 'be affiliated with the Uni versity of Miami as director of a study entitled "Americanism Through History Study." This will be• right up the Doc tor's alley because his favorite theory—sand he's developed doz ens -of them—is that education should be adjusted to the needs of a democratic society. Noted Author That theory is expanded in his most recent book, "Curriculum of Demotratic Education." Dr. Pe ters' books, incidentally, are pret ty good evidence of his versatil ity. Among them are ones on "Hu man Conduct," "Foundations of Educational Sociology," "Objec tives and Procedures in Civic Ed ucation," "Motion Pictures and Standards of Morality," and with Van Voorhis) "Statistical Pro cedures and their Mathematical Bases." In addition, he's been co author of another half dozen. He's listed in all three books of the Cattell series of "Who's Who," which are designed to cov er the whole range of scholarly activities. For his work in educa tion, they put him in "Leaders in Education;" statistical research, "American Men of Science;" and educational sociology, "Directory of American Scholars." Others which carry his name include the "Biographical Ency clopedia, of the World," and Who's Who in Pennsylvania, in the .East, in America, among North Amer ican Authors, and in American Education.

Debaters Face Columbia Minus Shirts, Shoes "Neither rain nor gloom of night can stay these couriers from the swift completion of their ap pointed rounds,"• quoted Sandford Rafsky as he and A/S James Jones faced Columbia University Friday minus shirt and shoes and with their pants rolled to the knees. While riding peacefuly to de bate "'Shall We Keep the Jap anese Emperor?" in a taxi, a mud puddle three and a half feet deep and overflowing with garbage temporarily impeded their course. Soaked and muddy, the two de baters finallyt managed to get out of the overturned taxi and arrived• at the appointed place an hour and a half late. An audience of seven people, three of whom were women, sat on and watched while the Penn State students removed their shoes and shirts and rolled up their pants, and proceeded with grimy face s and disheviled hair to debate the question. Meanwhile Professor O'Brien debate coach, walked in, dropped his brief case, and muttered, "Never in my life have I seen such a spectacle.' (The debaters Will not testify to the authenti city of this statement; it may have been stated in stronger lan guage.) The debate team which inclu des Sandford Rafsky, A/S James Jones, and A/S Fred Kecker traveled to New York Wednesday and in addition to matching wits with Columbia University Friday, they debated against each other in the New York YMCA Thurs day. An audience of 100 people listened to the squad, which is the same team that won the In ter-Collegiate Debate Champion ship last year. Maj. Frank Gleason, former Lion captain and Eastern intercollegiate wrestling champion, has been awarded the Legion •of Merit for his heroic deeds in Jap-occupied China.
