First DP Student
ToArrive onday
The first of the group of 25 displaced persons to come to State
College as a prospective student will arrive Monday. He is Gyoergy
Geczy Jr., 19, a native of Hungary who has spent the last six years
in a displaced persons' camp in Saltzburg, Austria.
Ralph Cash, chairman of the campus displaced persons com
mittee, said yesterday that Geczy will be employed in town for one
year after which he hopes to en
roll at the College in business ad
ministration
He understands English very
well, Cash said, but' speaks it
with difficulty.
Geczy, his sister Maria, 16, and
their parents, arrived in New
York Thursday aboard an Inter
national Refugee Organization
ship. They are coming to the
United States under a placement
plan for DP students.
The Penn State Christian As
sociation and the Commerce Club
of State College sponsored a drive
several weeks ago to obtain job
assurances for the prospective
students in or near State College.
The boy will work as a stock
clerk and salesman for College
Sportswear. Maria has been as
sured employment in Baltimore.
The father, an engineer; and
mother will live in Granger, la.
Taxation Institute
Begins Tomorrow
The Department of Economics
and Commerce and the general
extension services will conduct
the fifth annual Institute on Tax
ation beginning tomorrow an d
ending next Thursday.
J. K. Lasser, national authority
on taxation from New York city,
will be honorary chairman. He
was graduated by the College and
is the author of "Your Income
Tax," "Your Corporation Tax,"
"Excess Profits Taxes," and other
books.
The program is devised to pro
vide a concentrated study of im
portant, up-to-date t x proce
dures and problems.
Ro y Blough, member of the
council of economic advisers to
the President of the United
States, will be guest speaker at a
meeting highlighting the five-day
event.
Fewer Saturday Classes
Highlight New Schedule
A new class sequence plan designed to promote maximum uti
lization of classroom space will go into effect next fall, according
to Ray V. Watkins, scheduling officer.
The plan will release considerable space for other uses, notably
research, and thus boost over-all use of classrooms from 75 to 90
percent. A by-product of the plan, he said, will be a reduction in the
number of Saturday classes from
approximately 400 to 150.
He explained that 118 Satur
day classes, mostly for laboratory
courses, have already been sched
uled and that appointment class
es yet to be arranged probably
will boost the total to about 150.
The plan was prdrposed by G.
M. Dusinberre, professor of me
chanical engineering, and was
approved by the procedure com
mittee headed by Provost Adrian
0. Morse. Several other plans
were also considered by the com
mittee.
"There is no assurance," Wat
kins said, "that the new schedul
ing plan will solve all our prob
lems, but there is no question
that it will be decided help. The
committee feels that it most. cer
tainly is worth a trial."
One undesirable feature of the
new plan is that many classes
will be scheduled to meet on suc
cessive days. Under the present
system there is at least a one
day interval between classes for
ail three-credit courses.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES
Editor Says Facts
And Peace Linked
Facts, and the freedom to get them and distribute them are
needed more than anything else to restore the world to peace, public
debate to decent calm, and goVernmental conduct to morality, James
R. Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington (D.C.) Post, said
last night at the Pennsylvania Press Conference. ..
Wiggins said it is because the Russian people do not know the
facts /that a dictatorship is able:
1. To marshall their energies
for war and to deny them all but
the bare necessities of, life.
2. To impose upon them stan
dards of wages and hours and
working conditions that exist no
where else in the civilized world.
3. To enforce deprivations• of
political liberty the western
world left behind a century ago.
Wiggins was the principal
speaker of the dinner session at
which nearly 200 newspapermen
were cited for excellent handling
of news and photography during
the past year. The awards were
announced by Bart Richards, as
sociate editor of the New Castle
News and president of the Penn
sylvania Society of Newspaper
Editors.
Newspapers, Wiggins said en
joy immunity from government
interference in their fact-gather
ing operations and must be sure
they do not admit self-imposed
interference with their . duties.
Editors who withhold facts in
consistent with their own phil
osophy, purposes, or profit and
and who print only the facts that
fulfill their own principles are
as much a menace to our free
principles as arbitrary govern
ment, he said.
Fishing Paradise
Attracts 1500
"Fisherman's Paradise," i n
Bellefonte, opened yesterday and
thousands of anglers tried their
luck. This best 'known mile of
Pennsylvania fishing waters
opened with a probable record
number of fishermen.
Brook, brown, and rainbow
trout were the attraction which
drew 1,500 men and women into
the reservation within 45 min
utes of its opening.
An angler is allowed to keep
only one fish from the stream,
but he may catch as many as he
likes as long as he throws them
back.
