Trip Pleases. Eisenhower;
Trustees, Centers Visited
President Milton S. Eisenhower liked what he saw on his five
day tour of Pennsylvania last week
The College's new chief executive, who assumed office 18 days
ago, packed into these five days• a get-acquainted trip which took
him to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Hazleton.
At Harrisburg and Hazleton he met with members of the Board
If Trustees at the College's undergraduate centers, while at Phila
delphia he joined trustees and the
members of his party in an in
spection party of the newly-ac
quired Ogontz center.
The final session was held on
the campus where Dr. Eisenhower
conferred for several hours with
three trustees from this area, in
cluding C. L. Kinsloe, retired
faculty member, of State College.
The visiting trustees were J. E.
Holtzinger, Altoona, and Kenzie
S. Bagshaw, Hollidaysburg.
Met Trustees
"The primary purpose of, the
trip was to meet the trustees and
to counsel with them informally
on College programs and policies,"
Dr. Eisenhower said. "Everyone
was most cooperative and I re
turned to the campus enthusiastic
about the members of the Board
and stimulated by their sugges
tions."
• He found the recently-acquired
physical facilities at Hazleton and
Ogontz both "beautiful and ap
parently well-adapted to the re
quirements of our area prograths."
The president also found the
State and its economic activities
fascinating.
"One has only to make a tour
such as this,:' he explained, "to
understand Pennsylvania's out
standing place in the American
economy. The diversity of farm
ing and industrial activity which
I saw as we moved from one area
into the next has few parallels
anywhere. And the ever-changing
scenery of the State is delightful.
"Real Privilege"
"This 'bird's-eye view'," he
added, "confirmed all the fine
things I have read about Pennsyl
vania. It is a real privilege to
Co-Stars With Liz
Don Taylor, '42 Graduate,
Featured In Current Film
"Sandy-haired, confident, and lively," that's the way a former
classmate, Ross Lehman, assistant executive secretary of the Alumni
Association, remembers Don Taylor, '42 graduate and member of
Sigma Nu fraternity.. Today, this
same Don Taylor is making new
friends in State College because
of his role in the M.G.M. film,
"The Father of the Bride," now
playing at the Cathaum theater.
Playing the romantic role op
posite Elizabeth Taylor, Don is
one of Holywood's rising feature
players. He may also be remem
bered for his parts in the recent
films "Battleground" and "Am
bush."
Active in Players
While at Penn State, Don was
very active in Players'. It was his
acting in a College production of
"The Taming of the Shrew" that
attracted talent scouts and led to
a screen test. He played bit parts
in several films, ,but the draft cut
short this phase of his career. -
His next big chance came when
he applied for a part in Moss
Hart's stage production of "Wing
ed Victory." In the army at the
time, Taylor almost lost the
chance when an old basketball
knee injury sent him to the hos
pital for two weeks.
In Nevi - York, all the roles had

delegation of the United Nations
for the past three years, Dr.
Oliver, as early. as last November,
foresaw Communism extending
toward Southern Korea.
Asked Encouragement
Pointing out that the goodwill
of the United States was fading
in the Far East, he called for the
'U. S. to encourage the govern
ment of Southern Korea, instead
of confining our attention to
European matters.
"Unlike many European coun
tries that collapsed in the face of
Communist demands," Dr. Oliver
said, "the government of the Re
public of Korea, headed by' Presi-,
dent Syngman Rhee, is capable,

Jordan Plots
In 70th Year
Now .in their 70th year of
service, the Jordan soil fertility
plots at the College are more
valuable than ever as a source
of material for soil studies, accor
ding to Dr. A. C. Richer, assocate
professor of soil technology.
The plots have been maintained
continuously in a corn, oats,
wheat, and hay rotation. Dr.
Richer states that many cardinal
principles of. sound soil manage
ment practices have been proved
down through the years.
Some of these principles are
(1.) Lime alone, without fertil
izers, produces yields no better
than where nothing has been
applied. (2.) Fertilizers alone, on
acid soils, give very poor re
sponse. (3.) Phosphorus is the
first limiting effect on Penn
sylvania soils. Alone, or in any

Clausen Speaks
At Workshop
Dr. Bernard Clausen, national
ly-known religious lecturer from.
Cleveland, recounted the delights
of failing intelligently, to the.
Pennsylvania Workshop audi
ence yesterday at the College.
"The tragedy of religion and
education," he said, "is that the
immortality of storing beyong
the focus of a few years should
be realized. We seem to have a
sense of doubt concerning ends
that appear to be too distant and
it is the teacher's genius to make
roads you cannot travel."
Quoting from a noted person
ality he said, life should not be
judged by what we have tried
and succeeded at but rather what
you try knowing that you will
never succeed.' "You should die
knowing that where you have
left off, someone else will
succeed."
Speaking upon a problem with
which he has been concerned for
a long time, Dr. Clausen said,
"Race prejudice is the foulest
thing left in humanity. I have
the pleasure of knowing the
Pittsburgh reporter, Ray Sprigle,
who, disguised as a Negro, went
down South to see for himself
the problems facing colored
people there.
"I said to Mr. Sprigle, if we
live to be 100 years old we will
