Debateis Are Serious
As Convention Opens
Library Has
Bluebook File
Another of the magnificent
mysterieg• of th e Nittany Vale
came to light yesterday when
College librarian Ralph W. Mc-
Comb disclosed that the Pattee
library has been maintaining a
file of past examinations.
The file, however, has become
out-of-date with the exception of
psychology exams, McComb add
ed. Another element was added
to the mystery. of the file that
has grown like Topsy when Prof.
Bruce V. Moore, head of the Psy
chology department, didn't quite
know how the rather complete
file of past examinations got to
the library.
Surprised
Prof: - Moore suspects that' the
work has been done by a com
mittee -appointed some time ago.
He was rather startled, however,
to learn• of the completeness of
the file.
The examination file has not
been kept up-to-date, McComb
told the Collegian yesterday, be
cause of the failure of faculty
members to supply the library
with copies of examinations. The
file is kept in the reserve book
room.
The library ha s facilities to
maintain a complete file of past
examinations, McComb said. Fac
ulty members can have copies of
examinations placed in the file
by sending or bringing them to
the reserve room or to the circu
lation desk in the library, he said.
Not Compulsory
Although Prof. Moore said he
had no objections to placing final
examinations on file, he said he
would not want to make such a
system compulsory for all de
partments. Som' departmentS, he
said, probably have good reason
not to want their examinations
on file.
Prof. Moore said he always re
turned blue books to his students
because "it is effective for teach
ing in that it helps them learn."
He cautioned, however, that stu
dents "should not rely" on past
tests and neglect studying.
Aware that fraternities have
extensive files of previous exami
nations, Prof.- Moore said the es
tablishment of a master file in
the library would be "a more
democratic method since all stu
dents should have the same op
portunity." •
Columbian Farmer
Takes Short Course
A farm manager from Colom
bia, South America, is among 16
men enrolled in the Dairy Cattle
Herdmen's short course at the

Jorge Enrique Salazar, the

Upper Darby while in the United
States. He told instructors that
there are wonderful oppoqunities

FRIDAY, MARCH 18,.1951
An attitude of seriousness set
tled over the 16th annual Penn
State debaters convention as al
most 100 students from 19 colleges
prepared for the opening commit
tee sessions today.
Prof. J. F. O'Brien men's debate
coach at the College said the
serious spirit was in marked con
trast to the high-spirits displayed
at last year's gathering. O'Brien
said the attitude probably stem
med from the precarious world
situation.
Many of the men participating
in the convention will be leaving
for armed service in June, O'Brien
said. He added this may help ex
plain the seriousness.
Convention Banquet
Highlights of today's program
will be the official convention
banquet which will be held at the
State College hotel at 5:30 o'clock
this afternoon. A "Gavel Girl"
will be chosen at •the banquet.

candidates who will be selected
by , the convention committees.
She, will be awarded a silver gavel
for being the girl attending the
convention with the best combina
tion of charm, intelligence, and
oratorical ability..
The winner will be chosen fol
lowing after-dinner speeches by
the • three candidates on "The
Brotherhood of Man: Where Does
It Stand?"
Mock Congress
Marlin Brenner, convention
manager, said the convention is a
mock congresS. Brenner said the
system of hashing bills over 'in
committee and then presenting
them to the entire assembly is be
ing used. Brenner said three
standing committees have already'
been set up. They are the welfare
state committee 'and two commit
tees on non-Communist organiza
tion. Brenner said other commit
