PAGE TWO Bids to Open On Vet Center Construction bids for the concrete-block Animal Disease Research Center will be opened at 3 p.m. today. Dr. Alfred L. Bortree, professor of veterinary science, announced yesterday that construction will begin approximately 10 days after the contract has been signed. In addition to a $lOO,OOO appro priation made by the General As sembly, the legislature gave $37,- 500, matching a similar amount presented by the Pennsylvania Poultry Federation at the Penn sylvania State Farm Show in Jan uary. The new T-shaped, one story building is to be located to the rear of Orchard No. 3 on the Col lege Farms, midway between the fruit storage and the old soil con servation experiment staitiori. This site provides for any future ex pansion and is isolated from other poultry and livestock which could spread contagious diseases. The building will include lab oratories and four offices for veterinarians, bacteriologists, or pathologists who will supervise the research studies. A heating plant, an incinerator for disposing of disease tissue and carcasses, and other utilities will be in the basement. An autopsy room will also be included. A series of ten isolation pens will be located in the rear. Each will be equipped with an observa tion window where research workers can observe conditions without entering the room. They will be adaptable for use with poultry, swine, sheep, or cattle. Two laboratories have been des ignated for pathology work and v i r o 1 o g ical and bacteriological studies.' TV Project Will Stress Social Uses Participation by Penn State and 19 other colleges and univer sities in a television educational project to be broadcast weekly over the CBS network will dem onstrate the social usefulness of television, C. S. Wyand, assistant to the President, said yesterday. Representing the College at a conference in New York with CBS officials, Wyand said the program series will not only pro vide a report on modern educa tional activities, but also an ex ample of how American private enterprise can render a helpful public service. The programs will be produced at the universities beginning Oct. 26. They will be designed to be educational as well as entertain ing and will be broadcast for 26 weeks. The title of the program is “The Search.” These programs, Wyand said, should point' the way to further collaboration between higher education and TV. Some proposed topics to be cov ered during the programs are medicine, education in public li braries, dramatic arts, textiles, and labor management. . It was pointed out during the conference these programs would aid individual adjustment to pre sent day problems because uni versities were the best available source for the answers. This is the first time a group of leading educators and a tele vision network have undertaken such a project. The stories will be told from the viewpoint of individuals af fected by or participating in the projects.. Selection of topics was made hy faculty members of par ticipating schools and CBS direc tor.

The young executive MAKES HIS MARK IN RETAILING THROUGH SPECIALIZED TRAINING One-year Course (■ads fa Simmons Lecturer Found 'Picture' of Movement Meeting Arthur Burkhard, visiting professor in German and next Monday night’s lecturer in the current Simmons series, is somewhat like viewing unfamiliar, stormy German painting. Mr. Burkhard is a living illustration of what he has found to be the difference between Gothic and Classic art. In the words he uses to describe German art, the professor is “movement, emotion, and mean ing rather than serene repose and unruffled calm.” Mr. Burkhard, too, seems to be “unwilling to remain representative and as pires to become expressionistic.” In other words, talking with him is like living through a whirl wind and escaping, finally, con fused, slightly shocked, and numb. Yet behind his sidewise smile, which reminds one of a Franz Hals painting, Mr. Burkhard is frank, charming- and decidedly intelligent, Lectured Here and Abroad A well known author and lec turer on German art and liter ature, Mr. Burkhard will speak on "Understanding German Art” in his lecture at 8 p.m. Monday in 121 Sparks. His audience will need to know nothing about art in order to understand and enjoy the lecture, he assured us in an interview recently. Mr. Burkhard has traveled throughout the United States and Europe, lecturing in 20 American universities and at the Universi ties of Berlin, Heidelberg, Mar burg, and Freiburg, and in Dres den, Vienna, and the American Academy in Rome. !

FMA Accepts 23d Fraternity Phi Kappa was accepted as a participating member of the Frat ernity Marketing Association at a meeting of the FMA board of trustees Tuesday night. The addition of Phi Kappa brings to 23 the number of par ticipating groups in the coopera tive buying plan. The association, which aims at lower provision costs for members through quan tity buying, is open to all frat ernity organizations. Harold- W.

They are friendly, willing, cooperative, and receptive.” Mr. Burkhard had, naturally, never heard of State College un til he “looked it up on a map in a maiden aunt’s atlas—she’s 84— and found the population was 852.” This aside about the 84- year-old aunt is typical of Mr. Burkhard’s conversation. In the classroom he is enthusiastic, di recting with his hand while his German I class reads poetry aloud. Occasionally he interrupts the reading and translation to com ment, “Worse than responsive reading in church,” or, “Isn’t that wonderful?” He warns: “Some day a secretary may come in my place wiith a bluebook and say, ‘Write.’ Then you had better write right.

Campus Signs Show Spring Has Sprung Bless us and the maze we’re in, if it isn’t the first day of spring! Blossoms hurst forth, bears come out of hibernation, and comes the onslaught of bluebirds, buttercups, bluebooks, and below-grades. Already there are signs'of spring on campus. Students line the fence around the construction in Holmes Field like sparrows on tele phone wires. And one finds the gentleman and his lady , instead of snow and dead brown leaves on park benches. Dorm windows and winter coats alike fly open. Yellow' for sythia, purple hyacinth and red robins have come—with head colds, runny noses, and sore throats. The dispensary is doing even better business than the creamery and the ice cream par lors downtown Weather slightly warmer than normal and partly cloudy will be on hand to herald the official return of spring at 4:54 p.m. today. Temperatures will range near the mid-fifties today* but rain is expected early tomorrow morning* according to College weather reports. Warm weather can be expected for the week end. the report added. Spring is a treacherous time of the year, too. Grades are apt to go down quicker than tops on convertibles. Thus professors give eloquent lectures on the evils of spring fever, pull down blinds to keep sunlight off pages of "The Fundamentals of English Gram mar,” and shout, "No,” when stu dents request to have class out side under that pretty poplar tree. On the first day of spring, so it’s said, poets pounce on their pens and promptly pour forth poignant phrases. Young women wander in the woods or sit sigh ing under willow trees with vol- By HELEN LOUISE LUYBEN tunes of Emily Dickinson’s poe try in their laps. Long ago the first day of spring was celebrated with mock battles between men dressed to represent winter and summer. Dressed in straw and moss, winter challenged ivy-clad summer to fight for su premacy in the land and was al ways defeated, whereupon warm weather, spring showers, and sun ny, days returned. Now while March’s lion fights it out to the finish with the lamb, college life goes on midst rain, sunshine, and similar states of the mind. And though it all has hap pened before we cannot grow bitter, but instead rejoice in the spring, as though no spring had been.
