Glenn, health service director, announced late last night. Although the exact date has not been set, it is expected that the dental clinic will be open in mid-January. • This plan eliminates, in many cases, the need for students to delay having their dental work done because of the difficulty of getting appointments with local dentists. Regular Health Service "Average routine work will be done as part and parcel of the regular College health service to the students," said Dr. Glenn. A charge, at standard local rates, will be made, however, for cer tain unusual emergency demands. Decisions for such charges will be determined by the health service director. Starting about Jan. 20, all ap pointments for emergency dental service will be made through the dispensary medical staff although the dental clinic will be located in the infirmary. "gmergency treatment" will be given for toothaches, fractured Jaws, infected gums, and saving teeth which otherwise would be lost by prolonged delay by plac ing temporary fillings. Students will be expected to go' to their family dentists during vacation periods to have the temporary fillings replaced by permanent ones. Dentists Cooperate "The establishment of this new department of the College health service has been made possible through the cooperation of local dentists and the Centre County Dental Association," said Dr. Glenn. Dr. D. M. Lonberger will leave his dental practice in Vie borough to head the College dental clinic. "This clinic also will carry for ward certain work, while the student is ;)resent on the campus, upon receipt of written instruc tions from the student's home dentist if such cooperation will save the student traveling and missing classes to have such den tal work done," said Dr. Glenn. Las AP News, Courtesy WMAJ Drop Taft Act , Truman Urges WASHINGTON—P resident Truman utged an applauding 81st Congress to repeal the Taft- Hartley labor law in his State of the Union message yesterday and mapped a broad program of so cial and economic projects. Pleading for cooperation from the newly-elected, Democratic controlled Congress, the chief executive charged that: I—Prices are too high. 2—Production still is not suf ficient to meet demand. 3—Minimum wages are too low. 4—S ma 11 business Is losing ground to growing monopoly. s—Farthers still face an uncer tain future. Outlining an extension of the Roosevelt New Deal policies, the President asked four billion dol lars in new taxes to offset the ex pense of the program. He asked that business bear the brunt of the new levies, but he did not go as far as to recommend a new excess profits tax. His 27-minute address inter rupted again and again by ap plause, Mr. Truman urged re enactment of the Wagner labor relations act in an improved form. However, one of his orig inal ten anti-inflation points went by the board when he did not ask for power to renew rationing of consumer items. Raising the minimum wage to 75 cents, an increase of 35 cents, also was on his program, as was expansion of the social security system and increasing of its benefits. By D. L. J.

Clad only in a towel, an un known student tripped the light fantastic from the shower room. only to find that he had locked himself out.

If so, phone "Galen" 889 after 8 p.m. This ad, silly as it may seem, appeared in yesterday's Daily Collegian. But it's no joke! It's part of an experiment be ing conducted by Galen Calvert, a psychology major, to discount some of the present ideas con cerning sleep walkers and their habits. And what with finals coming up in a few weeks, and students still recovering from lack of sleep over the Christmas vacation. there should be more than enough sleep walkers to fill the bill. So Galen is making this ap peal to all somnambulists to come to the aid of science, and perhaps themselves!
