Adler will make his initial ap pearance playing the "Nigun" from the "Baal Shem" Suite by Black. More than any other work, "Nigun" demonstrates the emo- tional tonal quality of the har- monica. He follows this with De - bussy's "L'Apres -midi d'ui, faune," and his own .arrangement of Enesco's "Roumanian Rhapsody Draper returns with the "Ma laguena" by Leauona, .a typical Spanish dance; Morillo's "Can- Won.triste y. danza alegre," a very amdern Spanish piece; and his • own.

"Never forget that far from be ing an appendage on the campus," Desn Euwema said, "our school is the hub of the wheel around which everything else revolves." After being introduced by Fred Kecker, chairman of the Liberal Arts Student Council, Dean •Eu wema made some amusing re marks . , . mostly at his own ex pense, and then got down to the real business of the convotation.

In This Issue PRICE FIVE CENTS Full-time members of the Col lege staq who were employed on or before July 1, 1946, and who have subsequently had no in- crease in compensation, will re ceive annual salary and wage in creases ranging from $l5O to $3OO, Dr. Ralph D. Holzel, president of the College, announced yesterday. The action, which was author ized at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, will , provide all eligible members of the ad ministrative and academic staff, $3OO per year; eligible employees known as "assistants," 8240 per year; eligible technical and com mon labor, $175 per year; and eligible clerical employees, $l5O per year. Becoming effective January 1, ]947, the increases will be paid in equal monthly installments. In commenting on the new plan, Dr. tHetzel said: "The effect of the rise of the cost of living since July has been a matter - of concern to the ad ministration, and for several months officers of the College have been studying the income and expenses of the institution to June 30, '1947, to determine whe ther its resources would permit a further increase in compensation. It now appears that the finances of the College for the remainder cf the year will allow the in creases stated in this now plan. "These increase, do not and can not be made to correspond to the rise in cost of living but, ad ded to the increases made on July 1; J. 946, they represent substan tial assistance. They are as lib eral as the resources of the Col lege permit." The Penn State chapter of the American Association of Univer sity Professors last month asked for a $5OO. Cost of-living bonus, an upward edjustment of teaching salaries , based on minimum •levels, and a cooperaitve study of Col lege salary schedules.
