Outstanding Independent
DAVID PELLNITZ, (right) retired Collegian editor, receives a
plaque symbolic of the outstanding independent man on campus
award from Walter Kowalik, president of the Penn Stale Club.
Pellnitz was selected for the award by a committee headed by
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes.
DIR Gives Students
Special Counseling
On a campus where organization initials are thrown around at
random, DIR generally evokes wider recognition and emotion than
most of the alphabetical jumble. The specific functions of the Division
of Intermediate Registration, however, are not so well known.
DIR was originally established to help students with low aver
ages, and those who aren't sure
what they want to study. It offers
special training, exploration work
and counseling to help students
find a place for themselves in the
College. It is a helpful, not de
grading, organization dedicated to
the service of the school.
A student whose grade point
average is below .5 at the end of
his second or third semester is
accepted into the division or dis
missed from school. With the ap
proval of the dean, he may remain
there for two semesters. If not
accepted by a dean of a school at
that time, he is dismissed. A stu
dent transferring from one school
to another may be referred
through the division.
450 Now Enrolled
Nearly 200 freshmen sought
voluntary admission into DIR at
the end of the past semester be
cause they realized DIR was the
one place that might help them.
Last semester, 504 students were
enrolled in the division, and about
450 enrolled this semester.
Dr. Harold K. Wilson, director
of DIR, listed inadequate develop
ment of study habits, lack of
satisfactory reading speed and
accuracy, and improper choice of

curriculum as main reasons for
poor scholastic standing.
Forestry and engineering have
the highest ratio of students en
tering DIR.
DIR can be very useful, as
shown• by the following ex
amples,. Several years ago a young
man entered DIR with a grade
average of .05. At the end of the
next semester, he left the division
with a 2.75 in a technical cur
riculum. The same young man is,
now doing graduate work at the
College.
Three on Dean's List
A girl entered the division with
a 2 average. She was not satisfied
with her curriculum and wanted
special testing and guidance to
help her determine what she
wanted to obtain from college.
Three students left DIR last se
ines-ter on the dean's 3ist. Sixty
three former DIR students grad
uated in January.
The Division of Intermediate
Registration is essentially a serv-.
ice organization designed to help
students who are experiencing
academic difficulties. It has en
abled many students to be grad
uated and enter professional
fields.
. so get off to the right start.

by the Liberal Arts School Coun
cil will detertnine whether these
forms will be given out again

1:30 p.m,. and from 5:30 p.m. to

mer months, but due to a change
in College policy, belongings will
no longer be stored.

New Coal Scuttle
Goes on Display
After Engraving
the coal scuttle, emblem of vic
tory in the annual Penn State-
Pitt football game, has been en
graved and returned to the Col
lege for display. It has tempor
arily been placed in the Dean of
Men's office.
The exchange of the brass scut
tle was originated during the last
football season by the
,Interfra
terniy Councils of the two schools.
The score of each Pitt-Penn State
game since 1893 has been engrav
ed around the edges of .the scut
tle. State won the last game 17-0.
Arthur Rosfeld, for m e r IFC
president said he hopes the ex
change will become an annual
tradition similar to the "Little
Brown Jug" exchanged by the
Universities of Michigan and
Minnesota.
The scuttle is similar to the one
found in front of many fireplaces_
A scuttle was chosen to symbolize
the soft coal school, Pitt, and the
hard coal school, Penn State.
