List In Transition
The lilst straight three aver
age and the highest overall aver
age in the history of the Men's
Transition Section were made last
semester.
Theodore Kunin who left the
College in 1943 with a .43 aver
age c7me back this fall and car
rying 13 credits made that his
torical three average.
Not to be outdone. L. A. Doyle
made an average of 2.40, taking
15 credits, as compared to his
pre-war .40 average.
Students. arc admitted to the
Transition Section when they de

•Of the 25 men that were in this
section, 19 are veterans. These 19
made more substantial improve
ments than the six non-veterans,
according to A. R. Warnock, dean
of men.
All of the veterans have been
out of college for at le7St two
years and most of'them for three
or four. In some cases, Dean
Warnock said, the fact that the
student came back with a wife
seemed to help his average.
One student in Transition was
dropped from the College, fora•
were kept in this section, and the
remainder were to: nsferred to
regular schools. The change to the
Liberal Arts School was the most
popular, with 12 students mak
ing that choice..

Week Features

For the first time since 1939.
the College is to have A Religion

ture, was initiated by the Inter-
Religious Council, but is being
planned and carried out by a
committee representing various
campus organizations.
It will give students the oppor
tunity to hear speakers repre
senting various religious denom
inations, and to participate in
group discussions held in campts
living quarters. Special mass
meetings will be held on Sunday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday even
ings presenting leading speakers
in panel and forum discussions.
• More than a dozen. leading
speakers will participate and with
the help of local leaders will hold
discussions, seminars, periods of
counselling, and present topics of
timely 'interest in the field of
social and religious thought.
This will be a period of empha
sis on basic religious and 'human
values. The chief aims of the
week are •to help students realize
the purpose behind educational
and vocational pursuits and to
furnish guidance in considering
ultimate goals and relationships
with other people, Dr. Clarence
Carpenter, chairman of the com
mittee, said. .
Sponsored by the combined in
terests df Catholic, Jewish, and
Potestant faiths, the all-college

Lawrence, 'Never
Played Stale'
"I'm homesick for Philadelphia.
I've never played at the Univer
sity .41f Pennsylvania, my alim
matter, mid I've never been to
Penn State," said Elliot Law
rence, famous bandleader.
The Young Man .at the Piano
voiced the above quotes to Broad
way columnist Earl. Wilson in o
recent interview. The 22-year
old maestro bemoaned the fact
that he had not been asked ib
play college dances in Pennsyl
vania since lie left his position
as music director at WCAU in
Philadelphia last spring and went
big time.
Lawrence, hooked for State's
Military Ball March 29, played
here last April 12 for the X-G.I.
club's Spring Nocturne. It was at
this time that Marilyn Globisch
was selected Queen by John Rob
ert Powers and was cro'wned by
Director of Public Information
Louis H. Bell.
Pl's Thomas P. North is work
ing on the matter of the L:w
rence "slight" and may turn up
information which will be some
what embarrassing to Lawrence's
press agent.
Ralph Lewis, Nocturne chair
man, stated after the X-G.I.
dance that Penn State was L.:Ay
rence's first step into the big
time, as the leader-pianiA was
b o oked immediately by the
Meadowbrook. It is purported by
Mr. North that press.- agents ac
claimed Penn State promotion of.

To Build Radio
Test Stations
Electrical engineers at the Col
lege arc building two testing sta
tions for use iti conducting •e::-
periments on very high and very
low frequency n dio waves. Dr.
Eric A. Walker, head of the elec
trical enginereing oepartment,
said today.
One station •is being con
structed on land owned by the
State Game Commission near
Scotia. The other is akng the
tewnshio road on College Farm
No. 13.
The propagation af radio waves
in the ionesphere will be studied,
ex:nlained Dr. Arthur H. • Way
niek, who is in charge of the Col
lege Farms project. It is intended
-to compare waves reflected from
the ionesphere with ground
waves sent out by the transmit
ter and picked e,•a by a set
mounted in a truck. possibly as
f'ir away as 400 miles.
The work carried on near Sco
tia will deal with long wave radio
propagation, according to Ernest
Axman, assistant professor of
electrical engirwering, who is in
charge or the Scotia project.
Not much has been clone with
long waves since the early clays
or radio, because dr the high cost
of equipment needed. Long wave
work necessitates high power
transmission and unusually tall
antennas.
Equipment used for both proj
ects has been Obtained through
the War Department and much
cd: it is. being modified by engi
neers at the College. Cornmuni
cztions between the College and
each of the stations will be main
tained by short-wave radio sets.
Lawrence as the "best they've
ever had."
Elliot L:wrence will be back in
the Nittany Valley March 12 for
the Military Ball. It is hoped that
we impress him.
KALIN'S
First prize goes to the Best-Dressed
College Man. Ho owes that trim,
athletic look to famous Van Heusen
collar styling and figure-fit tailoring.
His Van Heusen necktie adds extra
swank to his appearance. Van Heusen
style-savvy goes together with hard-to
get quality. Magic sewmanship and
Sanforized, laboratory-tested shirt
fabrics mean many semesters of
wearing satisfaction. Graduate to
