Navy to Offer
Flight Training
Officer candidates in the United
States Naval Academy, Naval Re
serve Officers Training Corps,
Officers Candidate School, and
Reserve Officers Corps may now,
for the first time, apply for flight
training before they receive their
commissions.
Actual training, however, will
not begin until after acceptance
of th e commission, Lt. Cmdr.
It aym o n d S. Osterhoudt' an
nounced yesterday.
This plan will enable the stu
dent to get his name in early for
flight training, Osterhoudt said.
It will eliminate the possibility
of the student being sent to a
first duty station for a long time
while his application goes through
channels.
Many inquiries have been made
in the past concerning the possi,
bility of NROTC graduates ac
quiring flight training, Osterhoudt
added. Seniors who are interested
are asked to contact Osterhoudt
without delay.

'Voice' to Broadcast
Prof, Student Talks
When the Voice of America broadcasts a program, "America
Calling the Phillippines," May 31, the voices of a professor and an
agronomy student at Penn State will be heard, tape-recorded from
a room in the Agriculture building.
Prof. Paul H. Margolf and Paul Krause will tell the story of
Boyd Bell, a 1940 graduate of Penn State, now at Silliman University,
Dumag:uete, Philippine Islands.
Bell's story started back in 1948
when he was working as field rep
resentative for a farmer's pur
chasing cooperative in State Cob
lege. That year Bell attended ,the
College's Religion in Life Week
meetings and was inspired to be
come an agricultural missionary.
Poultry Departruent Helps
This led him eventually to Sil
liman University. Bell is now
dean of the Agriculture depart
ment there, teaches, does exten
sion work among the farmers,
and 'conducts ,research.
Shortly after arriving in the
Philippines Bell wrote to a church
here asking for a ton of fertilizer.
The church sent $l5O worth of
fertilizer and several small hand
tools that could_ be used by the
primitive Filipinos.
Last fall the Poultry Husbandry
department also decided to help
Silliman. Professor Margolf, whose
voice is heard on the broadcast,
explained in an interview how
Penn State entered into the pic
ture.
All Ag Hill got interested in
helping. out, he said. With the
profits of the Ag Hill Party, spon
sored by the student council and
17 clubs of the agriculture school,
Penn State was able to purchase
a small incubator, an oil burning

The College Weather Station
has come through in the old Penn
State tradition, predicting rain for
the carnival today. Showers are
predicted for just about the time
the carnival booths open up for
their biggest crowds.
Charles Hosier, of the weather
station, said the morning's weath
er will be good and fair, becoming
cloudy in the afternoon, with
showers starting sometime before
nightfall.
"It won't snow, though," Hosier
said yesterday. He added, "People
should have more flexible sched
ules to go with the weather."
Classes have been canceled for
the day, which has been declared
the official Spring Holiday. .They
will resume at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Spring Concert
Will Feature
Three Soloists
A presentation of the Beethoven
"Triple Concerto" will highlight
the College Symphony Orchestra
program to be presented at 3 p.m.
Sunday in Schwab Auditorium,
Theodore K. Karhan. director of
the orchestra, announced.
The concerto, seldom heard be
cause of the prohibitive cost of
the three necessary solists, will
be presented by Ruth McNitt, jun
ior in music education, playing
the piano; Barbara Thomas, a spe
cial student in music, playing the
violin; and John Swartz, a senior
in music education, playing the
violoncello.

own arrangement of his "Swan

ment. Eggs or day-old chicks will
be sent by air to Bell in the Phil
ippines ' from Hawaii University.
Farthers Eat Everything
The project doesn't stop with
with poultry. Paul Krause will ex
plain on the Voice broadcast the
work being done by Penn State
students. Grain and legume seeds
have been sent to Silliinan by the
Clover Club, and the Horticulture
Club is sending vegetable seeds.
Library and textbooks are being
assembled by the agricultural
economics students.
Bell reported fr o m Silliman
that - producing enough food ;for
people , to live on, let alone pro
ducing a surplus for animals, is
a huge task. He said the Filipino
farmers "eat everything but the
squeal of the pig." .
Aid Program Forming
In-a letter to Professor Margolf,
he wrote: "Honestly, you would
not only be amazed but also
ashamed when you think that the
Philippines were under American
control for 50 years and still con
ditions are as they are."
But at least one international
aid program is forming on one
