Cheering Crew
Will Be Cut
For Next Year
The size of Penn State's cheer
leading squad will be cut for next
year, Thomas Hanna, hear cheer
leader, said yesterday.
The cut was planned, Hanna
said, because of the difficulty in
keeping together at games and
because some cheerleaders seemed
to lose enthusiasm. Difficulty in
arranging practice sessions was
also one of the reasons for the
cut, Hanna said.
The plan to be put into effect
will cut four of the present junior
men to two senior men, three
junior women to two senior wom
en, four sophomore men to two
junior men, and four sophomore
women to two junior women.
In addition, the usual three new
men and the three new women
sophomores to be taken in will
be cut to two in e n and two
women.
Cutting will be done sometime
in the middle of May, Hanna
said, by a committee consisting
of Carl P. Schott, dean of the
School of Physical Education and
Athletics; Eugene Wettstone,

bert, graduate manager of ath
letics; Hummel Fishburn, profes

New Wing Addition
Construction of a new addition to the Mineral Science building
will get under way before June 1, Edward Steidle, dean of the
Mineral Industries School, announced yesterday to the Daily
Collegian.
Bids for the building are now being accepted by the General
State Authority and will be opened May 21, according to Steidle. Con
struction is expected to being
immediately after the acceptance
of 'a bid is announced. The ad
dition will be .ready for use,
Steidle said, for the spring semes
ter of next year.
The planned addition will com
plete the Mineral Science building
as originally planned. Construc
tion has been held up until the
present time because of a holdup
of the steel priority. in Washing
ton. The priority was fina 11 y
granted largely on a basis of the
national defense effort of the MI
school, according to Steidle.
The proposed addition will run
north to south, directly across
from Phi Delta Theta and parallel
to Burrowes road.
Steidle went so far as to say
that the new addition will be tied
up with the future economy of
the Commonwealth. He explained
that, although Pennsylvania is the
leading mineral and industrial
Commoniirealth in the world, it is
now compelled to utilize sub
marginal or second grade mineral
materials. This was brought about
by the rapid rate of exhaustion

Education Can Save
Cp,1,0r i p;,..,04.11 Says, ~
A good-natured clergyman whose , chief interest runs along
educational lines caused some educators to squirm in their seats
and others to see hope for the American educational system at the
final Community Forum lecture Tuesday night.
Dr. Bernard Ridings
,Bell, the chubby, spirited lecturer, almost
was lost in the rush to the, stage following the post-forum question
session. Educators an d parents
stormed the stage to pursue fur
ther their discussions or to con
gratulate the cheerful. priest for
fearless opinions, well stated.
Chatting informally en route
by car to the Nittany Lion Inn,
the priest revealed more of his
thoughts and added a few per
sonal anecdotes. Attired in the
black garb of the Episcopal clergy,
his laugh-lined face beaming, he
more resembled a happy monk
than a well-known lecturer.
For 38 years a priest of the
Episcopalian Church, Dr. Bell
confided that education was his
real love. 'He contends that only
through education of youth can
American culture be saved.
Religious instruction, too, is an
important part of any educational
program, Canon Bell believes. The
trend away from religion on col
lege campuses is a direct result
of improper religious educatiop
at the lower levels, he pointed
out.
An overall, objective picture of
all religions, taught in the same
manner as history or literature,
could be initiated into the public
schools, the soft-spoken canon
said. He noted a need for schools
to further the knowledge of var
ious religious beliefs, in view of
the fact that 61. per cent of per
sons in the United States attend
no church regularly.
Religion-in-Life-Week is not the
solution for bringing church back
to college, the forum speaker said
emphatically. Religion cannot be
ignored 51 weeks a year and re
vived with one week's concen
trated effort.
"I devote a whole chapter to
the unhappy prospect of such
weeks," he chuckled, "in my book,
`Crisis in Education.' "
Canon Bell has written 19 books
on religious and educational sub
jects, his favorite being "Beyond
Agnosticism."
Of the many degrees conferred
upon him, the bright-eyed priest
confessed special pride in his Doc
tor of Pedagogy degree. It was
awarded him by the department
of education of New York for his
work as president of St. Stevens
College in "putting the institution
on its feet."
Adjusting his spectacles, Dr.
Bell frowned at the thought of
federal aid to education. Wherever
government money goes, there
also goes control, he speculated,
and federal control is not needed
in the schools.

Blood Drive --

group, the students are usually
able I to give blood quite easily,
she said. For this reason, the
Bloodmobile likes to visit the
campus, .she added.
The campus drive, which start
ed slowly, ended last Thursday,
two days earlier than scheduled.
Opened two weeks ago by Dr.
F. M. Hawk, chief of education
and promotion of the Red Cross
blood program, the drive had re
cruited only 25 pledges by April
21. This number rose to 87 the
following day, and the quota of
200 was met by April 23 with more
volunteers being turned doWn.
Ted Allen, campus Red Cross
representative, said that he was
sorry to turn' down the additional
volunteers. However, the Blood
mobile can handle only 185 to
200 donors per day.
