President Milton S. Eisenhower
announced, today the appoint
ment of Dr. Herbert R. Albrecht,
.professor -and head of the Depart
.ment of Agronomy, as director of
•the Agricultural and Home Eco
nomics Extension Service.
. Dr., Albrecht will assume his
mew post July 1. As director he
•will head the agency through
\yhich information pertaining to
agriculture, homemaking, and
fural community life and welfare
2s distributed and made effective
throughout Pennsylvania.
staff includes agricultural and
, home economics extension repre
sentatives in every county of the
State, and specialists at the Col
lege.
- Educated at the University of
Wisconsin, Dr. Albrecht’s entire
" career has been identified with
land-grant colleges and universi
- ties. At Wisconsin he earned his
• bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor of
philosophy degrees, majoring in
plant genetics, a field in which he
later was to gain international
recognition.
Named assistant agronomist at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
1936, Dr. Albrecht initiated a
program in plant breeding work
with forage crops. Five years la
ter he was made associate agron
omist. In 1944, he went to Pur-
due to set up research in forage
and turf breeding and a year later
was made assistant chairman of
the Department of Agronomy.
Most of his time at Purdue was
devoted to plant breeding and
the teaching of genetics.
In 1947, Dr. Albrecht was
named professor and head of the
Department of Agronomy at the
CJollege where he has developed
a forage crop research program
that has been rated as one of the
foremost of its kind in the United
States.
No Frosh Women
Decision Clarified
No freshman women were ac
cepted to campus this semester
primarily because it would be un
fair to second semester freshman
women who are,currently attend
ing Penn State centers under one
year contracts, Dean of Admis
sions C. O. Williams announced
yesterday.
When almost 250 women signed
contracts to attend centers, he
said, the staffs and faculties of
these centers had to be increased
to handle them. If these 250 wo
men were accepted to the campus,
it • would leave the centers over
staffed and incur excessive ex
pense. Therefore the women were
asked to sign yearly contracts.
.V Because these women must re
main at the centers, Williams ex
plained, it would be unfair to
them to accept other first semes
ter women on campus.

with a 16-year old boy who
planned to drive her to Bethesda,
Md., the Associated Press re
ported yesterday. '
Neither has been heard from
since.
Jacqueline Mengoni, Trenton,
N.J., left a message for her room
mate saying she had gone to
Washington with Michael O’Con
nell, who had driven his family’s
car to Lewisburg Thursday to
visit his sister, another student
at Buckneli.
Buckneli officials said Miss
Mengoni signed out Friday list
ing Washington as her destina
tion. Her father suggested foul
play, but police tried to keep him
from -becoming alarmed when the
coed did not return. Police now
admit, however, “The time lapse
is beginning to strain that belief.”

Loyalty Law --
(Continued from page one)
this to say about Byse’s article:
“My purpose in preparing the
bill was to keep our schools and
government clear of commu
nism’s taint. I can’t see anything
wrong with that. I can’t see’why
anyone should hesitate to say he
is not a subversive.
“Teaching school is not a right.
It is a privilege given qualified
people and one of the qualifica
tions is taking a loyalty oath.”
