New Men's Dormitories To Be finished by Fall The gigantic red bri'ck buildings on the northwest side of the campus will be the' new men's dormitories in the fall. When the present hectic scene is finally cleaned up toward the end of the summer after more than a year of construction, 1600 men , will have living quarters rivaling the women's Simmons and McElwain Halls. Now designated as Units 1,2, and 3, the four-story dorms and two-story dining hall are of struc tural steel construction with a concrete mat base. Brick and In diana limestone face the build ings, Resembles Tri-Dorms The architectural style is a combination of Georgian and Co lonial design closely resembling that of Watts, Jordan, and Irwin HaIIS, the old men's dorm units, to which the new giants are joined. A large mall and com mons will beautify the exterior; the inner sanctums will feature sleek, modern furniture and a spacious layout arrangement. Across one side of the enlarged 36 x 14 double rooms is a built-in living unit of birchwood. A ward robe closet, shoe-rack, dresser, an d storage shelves are in cluded in this section. An elor gated bookshelf of birchwood stretched across another side Nintiafted . oft .Poift. Two), Dance, Movies Fun Night Set Fun Night, a dance, and an out door movie are the offerings of the Recreation Office this week according to C. M. "Dutch" Sykes, director. "The Ghost Goes West" is the outdoor movie to be shown to morrow night at the Pugh Street gate on the front campus. This comedy-drama, starring Robert Donat, is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. In case of rain the picture will be shown in Schwab Audi torium. Movies of Penn State's spring football scrimmages will be one of the features of the Fun Night slated 'for Saturday, July. 29. They will be shown by Earl Bruce, new freshman football coach. Volley ball, badminton, ping-pong, cards and dancing will also be on the program. State College, Pa.—H or ac e Ashenfelter, former Penn State IC-4A champion, will head the fimld of approximately 15 Amer ican trackzien who are sched uled to leave by plane next Monday for meets in Scotland, England, and Ireland. One of America's outstanding 1952 Olympic hopes in the long er' running events, Ashenfelter will compete in the 1,2, and 3- mile distances.

Some hot summer day when the air isn't just right for study ing, why not drop into the Min- I eral Industries Building and look at the fluorescent minerals in the lobby off to the left of the case of precious stones? In other halls are skeletons of ancient beasts, fossils, ceramic ware and oxygen masks. In Cen tral Library, Burrowes, Home Economics, and Mineral Science buildings are free displays. More energetic persons can hike or bike to the College farms, horse barns, dairy barns, and the creamery. Over on east campus, flowers are all in bloom . . . rows and rows of petunias and roses. Art students during regular sessions have painted murals to cover the barren walls of Tem porary Building. Some tell a story, others are fragments of the imagi nation, but all are colorful. When there isn't a, car around for a dash to Whipples Darn or Greenwood Furnace, run up to Hort Woods and roast your hot dogs there. Just .look around summer stu dents and enjoy your campus. Dam, River Constructed In Engineering Building By RUSS ANGSTADT Tests being conducted in the basement of Main Engineering are proving that a river can be brought indoors for study pur poses. Dr. Andre L. Jorissen, professor of Civil Engineering, aided by Vernon L. Dutton and Leon Langford, are conducting tests of flow conditions of a spillway de signed for a darn to be built on Lyman Run, Potter County. The darn, which will be 55 feet, high, will provide a 40-acre lake as the center of a recreation area and will be constructed by the Department of Forests and Wat ers. The spillway, originally plan ned as • straight, will be curved just below the approach section due to unforeseen soil conditions. Difficult Analysis The design for the spillway will taper -from 125 feet to 80 feet Artists Series To Feature Pianist in Varied Program Anatole Kitain, "the Poet of the Keyboard," will feature the third presentation of the Summer Artists Series in Schwab Audi torium at 8:30 tonight. Tickets priced at $1.20 will go on sale at the Student Union desk in Old Main at 7:30 tonight. •sburg and belongs to the small, luding Rubenstein, Horowitz, and Serkin, now concertizing in this country. Some time before com ing the United States in 1940, he was known to American mittle enthusiasts through his Columbia Masterworks records. Successful Tours Kitain was born in St. Pete elite group of Russian pianists, in, in - width and slopes from 5 to 20 per cent. The, analysis of a curved spillway is very difficult by mathematical calculations, but be comes a typical problem for model study. The model was constructed at a scale of 1 to 48. The spillway was tested with flow conditions representing up to 25,000 cubic feet per second. The College engi neers decided that the spillway's base must be specially designed to prevent water from overflow ing. To Solve Problem At this point, enormous amounts of energy mu'st be .dissipated as rapidly as possible so as not to erode the downstream channel and banks. According to Dr. Jorissen, the new design will not only solve the problem, but will facilitate construction. He graduated from the Imper ial Conservatory in St. Peters burg and has since made several successful tours of Russia, Eu rope, and the Orient. This past year, Kitain played the piano throughout South America and the U.S. At his most recent ap pearance in New York's Carnegie Hall this year, he achieved- his greatest success. The audience stood cheering in a body at the close of his performance, and the New York press compared him "to the greatest pianists of all time." Varied Program Kitain's offerings tonight will run the gamut from a Mozart sonata and two Chopin etudes to the modern dissonance of Stra vinsky and Virgil Thomson. The first part 'of the program will in- I elude "Organ Prelude and Fugue in G major," Bach and Goedicke and "Sonata in B flat, K 333," Mo zart. Featured in the second part of the program will be "Ballade in F minor," Two Mazurkas, ."F minor. and D major," "Nocturne," and Two Etudes, "Opus A flat major" and "Opus A minor," all by Chopin. After the intermission, Kitain will play "Reflets dans reau,"' Debussy; "Jardin sous la pluis," Debussy; "Three Danzas Gitanes, Zambra, Danza de la Seduccion,.
