PACE TWO LA Faculty Favurs Textbook Regulations Interviews with faculty members in the School of Liberal Arts yesterday indicated that most of them are in agreement with the College Senate’s four point measure regulating changes that can be made in student textbooks.

LA Council Recommends SU Questions The Liberal Arts Student Coun cil has proposed a series of ques tions concerning the Student Un ion for its president, Edward Shanken, to present to All-Gol lege Cabinet. At a meeting Monday night the council moved to have Shan ken propose to cabinet the estab lishment of a cabinet committee to investigate the SU issue. Some of the questions pre sented by the council members are: How much money has been collected to date from the Stu dent Union assessment? Exactly where is the money that has been collected and how has it been invested? What architec tural plans have been made for the Student Union Building? Additional questions by coun cil members are: Has the assess ment been set up for an inde finite length of time? What has been included in the plans for the Student Union? What are the conditions of the Student Union assessment as passed by the board of trustees? What corres pondence has there been be tween the College and produc tion agencies, concerning the availability of materials? 'Who's in the News' Copies of Who’s in th. News at Penn State are still avail able at the Student Union of fice in Old- Main. Students included in the book, and sorority and social fraternity presidents-may pick, up their copies of the book now. ’ • By BETTIE LOUX solve the problem entirely. Sound Suggestion M. M. Levinson, assistant pro fessor of economics, said he was in total agreement with the Sen ate’s plan which is “essentially not a plan,” according to him. "It is rather > a sound suggestion to faculty members stating that they should have complete free dom in their choice of books but advising them to use this free dom discreetly; namely, that they should not make unnecessary changes in books which entail financial hardships on students.” The Senate’s proposal “doesn’t seem to come to grips with the heart of the problem,” according to Levinson. He considers the real problem to be the annual publication of new editions of old books for' the sake of increased revenue, and the fact that even when books are not changed too often, the price of used books may be generally, excessive. The solution to this, he felt, might be .a really effective student coop erative bookstore. Mourant Calls Exception John W. Mourant, head of the Philosophy department, called attention to the .fact that there is an exception to the measure which would require the same books to be used in all sections of a course. In order to provide for specific educational objec tives the departments may pre scribe different texts for special sections. . Mourant said that his department’s policy has been to use the same text, “at least for a year.” At present, he said, they are trying out a variety of texts in preparation for a change in the curriculum. - J. S. Cook, assistant professor of English, said he saw “nothing about the rule that anyone should tak,e exception to.” He also pointed out that because, students of similar backgrounds are some times purposely grouped toge ther, there should be the oppor tunity to use different texts if necessary for different sections. Printers Sometime Err It was pointed out by W. O. Gordon, assistant professor of mathematics, that changes in textbooks are not always the fault of the faculty. He cited one instance when a printer’s error resulted in new, revised texts being sent to the College rather than the standard texts which had been ordered. S. P. Bayard, assistant profes sor of English composition, said that much of the measure is al- 'Continued on page eight ) 67 Promoted to Froth Sophomore, Junior Staffs Sixty-seven promotions have been made to the junior and sopho more boards of the Penn State Froth, Ronald Bonn' editor of the publication, announced yesterday. \ Bonn said some of the promotions were not niade in time to include the names in the masthead of the January Froth.

STATE «?OLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA -*• Carlson is the author of ’ “Un dercover,” an expose of fascist ac tivities in America which won for him the Thomas Jefferson award from the Council Against Intoler ance. ’ 1 His newest book is “Cairo to Damascus.”-He made use of the same undercover techniques which he exposes to pose as pro communist, pro-fascist, pro-Arab nationalist, and anti-Jew.

Dave and Dick both play occasionally, ,at the Spa. Dick plays the trombone and Dave plays the bass in the combo which special izes' in jazz. When asked if they didn’t consider it quite a switch from jazz to symphony music, they both surprisingly said, “no.” “We feel that there is a defi nite connection between jazz and symphony,” Dave said, “especial ly with modem symphonic com posers such as Rudy Black, Ray Harris, and John Carpenter in the field” Experience Under Huber They must feel this connection quite strongly for they’ve exerted themselves to converting one of their fellow symphonists, Bob Swisshelm, into a jazz man who sometimes plays with them at the jam sessions held at the TUB on Sundays. “Speaking of those jam ses sessions,” Dick said, “we really have gotten a lot from playing jazz which was conducted in an orchestra manner under the baton of Jack Huber.” Huber is a resident-counselor in the Nittany-Pollock area who both arranges and conducts the jam sessions. Dick and Dave have plenty of jazz under their belts for they are both winners of the Norman (Continued on page eight) Marine Corps Commissions Are Available An> graduate or graduating senior desiring to accept a com mission in the U.S. Marine Corps may apply to 200 Engineering E, Capt.
