• DR. MILTON S. EISENHOWER, president" of the College, (left)
and James Milhoiland, president of. the board of trustees, shown
placing the cornerstone of Hamilton hall, one of three new dormi
tory units.
The laying of the cornerstones was part of the dedication cere
mony of the new dorms, held yesterday.
College
Tetrized
• "At least 50 percent of the values of education come from the
total environment, in which the students live," President Milton S.
Eisenhower said in his'speech yesterday before laying of cornerstones
for three new men's residence halls.
"We attach much importance to the environment which we create
in a college . . . We know that the classrooms, the laboratories, the
dormitories, together with the
lawns and trees and shrubs—in 100.4
other words, all the physical at- 1 4.• usto ms Don't
tributes of the College—make
their important individual im
pressions on the young people
who pass a few of their forma
tive years on the campus."
In concluding his speech, Pres.
Eisenhower praised Mo se s
Thompson, John Hamilton, and
James Y. McKee, the three men
for whom the new buildings were
named, and congratulated the
•
descendants.
"I trust that the generations of
young men who will live in these
halls will come to know some
thing of the lives of the men for
whom they were named; they
will be better for it." Dr. Eisen
hower then accepted the build
ings and declared them officially
a part of the educational plant
and facilities of the College "in
behalf of the students now enroll
ed in the College and of those
hundreds and thousands . who will
follow them in the future."
In laying the cornerstones, a
small lead-coated copper box
containing published material on
the new men's dormitories was
placed in each cornerstone by
one of the descendants. Mortar
was then placed on the corner
stone by President Eisenhower,
James Milholland, president of
the board of trustees, and des
cendants of ,the man for whom
the building was named.
Dr. Koo To Speak
At Chapel Service
Dr. T. V. Koo, Chinese student
leader and professor of religion
and oriental culture at lowa State
College, will speak on the topic
"We Looked .For Peace" at chapel
services in Schwab auditorium at
11 a.m. tomorrow.
The occasion will commemorate
over 35 years of service by rep
resentatives of the students and
faculty of Penn State at Liegnan
University, Canton, China.
Environment
mportant
Bother Frosh
Freshman customs have not
been too harsh so far, according
to a number of frosh interviewed
yesterday. In fact, most of the
frosh said they felt that customs,
by creating spirit and getting
them acquainted, were doing
more good than harm.
Opinions concerning the cus
toms ranged from "childish" to
"being fun."
Tribunal Chairman, Neil See,
told cabinet Thursday that the
end of customs would not be tak
en up for several more weeks by
Tribunal. He stated that there
has not been enough enforcement
of the customs by hatmen and
suggested a contest, such as a tug
of-war, between the frosh and
sophomores when customs do
come to a close.
Singing, Cheering
Comment on the ruling which
forbids freshmen to speak to
women ranged from strong in
vectives to, "Ah, who cares? I
don't know any women up here
anyway."
Singing and cheering is• a good
idea. 'according to many of frosh,
because it fosters school spirit
and because "everyone should
know them anyhow."
Wearing name cards has both
good points end bad ones, said
several frosh. The major com
plaint against cards is that they
blow around and become a nui
sance at times. Most frosh, how
ever, do not mind wearing the
cards because, as several said,
"It's a good way to get acquaint
pd."
One freshman summarized the
attitude of most frosh in saying.
"Customs aren't too bad. We'll
probably even get a kick out of
them after they're all over."

Men's Dorms
To Be Closed
Si x dormitories in Pollock
Circle are in the process of being
closed because there are not
enough residents in the area to
fill all 14 dorms. Russell E. Clark,
director of housing, said yester
day.
He said it was possible that two
dorms also might be closed in the
Nittany area.
Although Pollock Circle has a
capacity of 840 beds, there are 412
vacancies there, in addition to
103 vacancies in the Nittany
dorms, Clark said.
Pollock Circle dorms being
closed are numbers 4,5, 6,7, 9,
and 10. Whether two Nittany
dorms will be closed has not vet
been decided, Clark said.
With the addition of 47 vacan
cies in West dorms, there now are
562 vacancies in men's campus
dormitories, according to Clark.
Dorms are being closed to save
expenses on fuel and janatorial
services, Clark stated.
In the spring of 1949, four Pol
lock Circle dorms had been closed
down for similar reasons.
