Chapel Consh•uction
Aired As Fund Use
(This is the second of two articles ° which will discuss the
proposed Chapel fund projects.) -" '
One of the proposals for the use of the Chapel collection con
cerns the construction of a small Chapel on the campus.
The purpose of a chapel of, this type would be for individual
meditation, small group worship, funerals under some circumstances,
and meetings• of religious groups.
The chapel would be used br
all faiths, and have a seating
capacity of 50 to 100. It would
contain a small meeting room for
the use of religious groups.
Estimated Cost of $lOO,OOO
With an estimated cost of $lOO,- 1
000, it is believed that additional
funds from private contributions
would be added from time to time
for the project.
Another suggested use for the
chapel funds concerns • the con
struction, purchase, or renting of
an International ho us e. This
would be a place where foreign
students ,could live at the College.
Promoting knowledge of world
affairs and international under
standing could be carried on here
with a planned program. This
program would include forums,
motion pictures, lectures, teas, and
I social functions.
Foreign Student Center
An alternate pr6posal to the in
ternational house is the establish
ment of a foreign student center.
This would not necessarily be a
foreign student living center, but
would be a gathering place and
social c enter for foreign ...and
American students.
The establishment of a foreign
student scholarship also has been
propoSed as a use for the chapel
funds.- This project would be de
signed to enable the College to
offer a complete scholarship to. a
foreign student for study at the
College.
The scholarship would provide
one or, more years of study with
board, room, and tuition provided,
and, possibly, would include trav
el costs.
A student might be chosen from
any country. This student might
also be someone from an institu
tion in which the students are in
terested, and who would be pre
paring specifically to return as a
teacher.
This project would give a for
eign student an opportunity to
study here and to learn something
about the United States. It would
also bring a person to the campus
who would help college students
Ito know and understand his
country.

Schedule Computer
Present Registration
By ELLEN PHILLIPS
The push-button world may
soon end the days of lengthy
schedule-making for the college
student, Kenneth Grimm, grad
uate student in physics, predicts.
Grimm, who is now working to
perfect, a scheduling computer,
said that the student or his ad
viser, by just pulling levers, may
have a typed schedule in his hand
in a matter of seconds.
Grimm was motivated to invent
his machine by the dilemma that
the chemistry and physics stu
dents find themselves in when
they try to fit eight hour courses
into their schedules.
Computes 39 Courses
Since the world's problem* are
slowly being diminished by ma
chines, he decided that it would
be possible even to lighten the
burdens of the student.
At this stage in the experiment,
Saturn to Be
Main Attraction
At Observatories
Saturn, the famous planet with
the rings about it, will be the
feature attraction at the College
observatories from 9 to 10:30 to
night, Thurs d a y, and Friday
nights if the weather permits.
Dr. Carl A. Bauer, assistant
professor of physics, said yester
day that in addition to the cele
brated rings, viewers will be able
to see the cloud belts across the
face , of the planet. Saturn's rapid
rotation, 10 hours and 14 minutes,
cause the clouds to be drawn, in
belts parallel to its equator.
Saturn's atmosphere, has an
abundance of hydrogen and the
poisonous gases methane and am
monia. The gases are identified
by the bands of color they absorb
while reflecting the sun's rays.
Members of Alpha Mu, astron
omical society, will be at the ob
servatories to operate the tele
scopes for visitors. The telescopes
may be reached by driving into
the new parking lot east of the
TUB.
Egolf Receives
Ed Council's
Senior Award
Ralph Egolf was elected the
first recipient of the Education
Council's Senior Merit Award last '
night.
Egolf is a member of three hon
oraries, the Future Teachers of
America, Edits, Blue Band, Edt
cation Council and Parmi Nous
hat society. He was judged on
character, leadership, service, and•
scholarship.
Also nominated for the . award
were: John Althouse, John Bar
rons, Lila Barnes, John .Beiter,
Jeannine Bell, Ruth Heisler, Jean,
Richards, and Ann Titmus.
The council approved a point
system for the election of future
recipients of the awards. Each
nominee will receive a point , riw.
ting on his accomplishments. ThiS
system will serve to_ eliminate
all but the top few nominees.
Twelve members of the council
volunteered to return during ori
entation week to aid the School of
Education in explaining the cam
pus setup. Each of the volunteers
will handle approximately thirty
freshmen. An estimated 450 fresh
men have enrolled in the school.
The - council appointed a com
mittee to investigate the sugges
tion that Alpha Phi Omega put
up signs during orientation week
to designate main buildings on
campus.
Matriculation Cards
Available to Students
New matriculation cards are be
ing held in 109 Willard for a large
number of students who entered
the College in the fall of 1951 and
failed to pick up their cards.
If the cards are unclaimed by
the end, of the semester, the stu
dents- will be charged a fee for
duplicate cards, the Dean of Ad
missions' office has announced.
the mb.chine is run mechanically,
and computes only 39 courses. He
hopes that in the future- it can
be produced electronically and
compute at least 500 courses..
•The shift from 'mechanics to
electronics will also deccrease the
length of ,the process from min
utes to a matter of seconds.
Conflict Lights
The machine works very Simply,
or at least it seems to, by Grimm's
explanation. The front board, on
which the student works, shows a
series of lights. Running vertically
to the lights on the left' hand
side are the hours of classes.
Placed horizontally under the
lights are the days classes' are
held. There are • two columns Of
lights. for each day and hour.
When the lever identified by a
particular course is pulled, the
light opposite the hours and over
the days is turned on. If the stu-

One hundred students have been selected as fall semester Orien
tation Week counselors by the orientation counselors committee.
The men have been notified by post card and their selection'will
be completed by attending the first training meeting at 7 p.m.
tomorrow in 10 Sparks.
The committee attempted to se
lect students from each school to
counsel incoming students from
that school, but in several cases,
due to lack' of applications, stu
dents will not be counseling in
their own schools.
According to the post card no
tices being sent- to the students
selected, absences from this first
training meeting must be of a
bona fide nature and reportpd to
the chairmen prior to the meet
ing.
Russell Peterman and Thomas
Stegner are co-chairmen of the
committee.

May End
Dilemma
dent pushes a lever for a course
which conflicts with a previously
scheduled course, a light on the
corresponding column - goes op.
This designates where there are
conflicts.
At present there is a separate
lever for each section of a course,
but eventually, Grimm said, he
expects to use only one lever for
a course.. The machine will then
fit in the section which complies
with the other courses. If no sec- •
tion fits in, the conflict light will
then go on.
In its preliminary stage, the
machine does not print a schedule.
But Grimm said that, when ,per
fected, the machine will 'release
the final schedule in printed form.
So if there be a student who
enjoys the mental gymnastics of
skipping back and forth through
a time table, be had ' better en
joy it now, for one day soon it
may just be among-his souvenirs.

GE to Grant
$370,000
Next Year
More than $370,000 in scholar
ships, fellowships, and , grants will
be offered by the General Elec
tric Company's educational assis
tance program for the 1952-53
school year.
According to Ralph J. Cordiner,
president, the educational assis
tance program has been expanded
and revised to help to counteract
the diminishing ranks of engi
neering graduates.
A two-year company survey
revealed the necessity for stimu
lating interest in technical train
ing among students and for assist
ing educational institutions.
This year's 285 awards will be
given to students and researchers
in the fields of chemistry, physics;
and metallurgy.
One of the new phases of the
program is designed to assist 30
outstanding college juniors
throughout th e country during
their senior year. These scholar
ships, amounting to $5OO each,
will be awarded to college stu
dents primarily in the engineer
ing field.
The company will continue its
25-year-old ptogram of supplying
funds amounting to $150,000 year
ly, to aid colleges and universi
ties in purchasing needed equip
ment for lab Oratories.
During the last 10 years, 'the
company- has assisted more than
130 colleges and universities in
enlarging and modernizing labor
atory facilities for instructional
research purposes.
Training an d fellowship pro
grams for high school mathe
matics and science teachers will
be continued. and expanded this
year , at Union • College, the Case
Institute of Technology in CleVe
land, and Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in Troy, N.Y.
Ordinance Applies
To Gentzel Building
The State College Board of Ad
justment has ruled that Mrs. Ma
bel Gentzel must conform with
borough ordinances in the con
struction of a new building.
Mrs. Gentzel had planned to
have a building constructed at
College avenue and Pugh street
on the street line rather than
three feet back as ordinances re
quire.
The building would replace the
original one which was destroyed
by fire last November. In the fire
19 students lost $4638 in prop
erty.
