Asks for '5l-'52
Calendar Ideas
Suggestions Requested -
From Students, Faculty
E. Students and faculty members
are urged to submit suggestions
for the formulation of the Col
lege calendar for the academic
year 1951-52, according to Ernest
W. Callenbach, chairman of the
Senate committee on calendar.
Suggestion's as to Calendar
dates should be offered' now :in
stead of when 'the item which is
disapproved in the calendar' is
about to , occur.' They should be
submitted to the student mem
bers .of the -committee, Bernard
Carbeau and Mrs. Mary Lou Hot=
lis; or to Mr. Callenbach.
Any recommendation of. the
calendar committee is subject to
approval by Senate, the sole
islative body on• matters pertain
ing to the educational -interests
of the College, subjeet to the jur
isdiction, of the Board of Trus
teeS. '
At 'present, the committee is
beginning- deliberations on the
calendar fOr 1951-52,' . which is
scheduled for adoption by - March'.
It is necessary to plan Abe. cal
endar several years in • advance
because 'of athletic schedules,
convention dates, and the• like.
One ;headache• is to - plan' the
semester schedule - s,o. that classes
rrieet the same number' of -tithes.
Faculty meMbers in 'scientific and
technical curricula need every
available - hour of class time to
teach their' course , mkterials.:The
committee • has• to. plan' classes do
that each meets 'l5 times per
credit. • -
• A bone of contention in the,nast
has , been the voting holiday: It is
unlikely, that ,any provision will
be made for this purpose into fu
ture because of the• decline in
the number of eligible, voters, and
interference with class schedul
ing
The faculty, members of the
Committee are Ernest W. Callen
bach, chairman, Royal' M. Ger
hardt, Dr. David J. Perry, .Dr.
Richard C. Raymond, Ray V.
Watkins, Dr. Palmer C. Weaver.
and" Miss Mary J. Wyland.

Stri*eWils:oo . ener,74-44
By RAY KOEHLER
Penn State, powered by a
three-platoon attack, opened its
1949-'5O basketball season last
night by recording an easy 74-
44 win over Susquehanna Uni
versity before an estimated 4,400
Rec Hall attendance. .
In winning, the Nittany cagers
extended their home court mas
tery to five in a row over a two
year span and • made the debut
of their new coach. Elmer Gross
a popular success. l
So uneven was thd game that
it was not until the third quarter
that Gross saw fit to send his
two aces, Joe Tocci and Lou
Lamie into action. State's total
of 74 points in their first gafrie
surpassed even last year's record
output in a game which saw
Lions beat American U. 63-50.
Jitters
Despite first quarter jitters,
Penn State jumped away to a
first period, 17-4 lead, boosting
those totals to 33-16 at half-time.
