Flying i .:•Club G47es - Pjlots liitruttiQns'. In these days when air trans portation is the thing, the pro-- gram of the newly incorporated Penn State Flying Club, working from the State College az depot, has a practical twist. The club has a special appeal for beginners, featuring staggered instruction, training planes and radio equipment and probably one of the lowest flying rates in the East. It is possible to get a private pilot's license for less than $2OO, 'including instruction and dues for plane maintenance and fniurance. Members may be men or wo men, with membership statistics show:rig 23 men and two girls, for the interest of the ratio-mind ed. But members must be either students, faculty members or College personnel. At present the club, uses a four-place Piper Cruiser, a J 3 Tandem Piper Cub and a two place side-by-side T4ylorcraft. The club recently voted to re place the Taylorcraft with a two place tan d e m-type Aeronca, which is better suited for train ing purposes. To become a member the . ap plicant must sign a contract whereby he becomes a share holder until he terminates mem bership. Then his entire invest ment ($125) is returned to him•.' Members may fly at any time and as frequently as they wish, restricted solely by weather con ditions. Interested students may contact officers or attend a Fly ing Club meeting. Meetings are held on the first and third Wed nesday of every month in 217 Willard. CCS New Future Betty Crockers of the air can be found in the demon stration laboratory at 105 Home Economics. They're taking Commercial Consumer Services 403, a course in lecture-demonstration techniques, under the direction of Ma r y Brown • Allgood, associate professor of home equipment and com mercial consumer service. This semester's class of 12 women has given a total of 48 demon- strations. The students' first dem onstrations last just 15 minutes and increase gradually in length and scope to 30,. 45 and finally 60 minutes. Beginning demonstra tions are usually on the operation or care of some electrical appli ance. As the length of the lec tures increase the subjects turn to demonstrations of freezing and manning methods, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking; or uses of canned soup, hamburger or instant cof fee. To see the, amount of work go ing into one demonstration one need just follow along the pro cesses involved in an hour dem onstration on preparing party desserts given by Helen Norris, ..zeighth semester CCS major, as sisted by Joanne Connor. After deciding on her topic ,Helen got together recipes for seven desserts, worked out a schedule . for the denionstration, ' , and wrote the lecture she was to ~ c oordinate with the manual dem ,enstration. This involved arrang ing desserts so what had to go into the' electric range to bake --or to the refrigerator to harden .came to rest on the display table by the end of one hour. Recipes to be used in the dem -onstrations are tried out for taste and appearance, and then the :::demonstration is practiced—first I:just workint . with utensils in or der to get the content .of the lec:r ::cure and finally with ingredients. ' .A• second attraction of the ser ies will be Grace Castagnetta, hailed by the New York World Telegram as the "first lady of improvisation." Miss Castgnetta will give a piano recital July 21.

Tickets for individual at tractions during the main, session will be available at $1 each, ex cept for Duncan, for which single admission price will be $1.50. 403 Develops Betty Crocers By HELEN LOUISE LUYBEN Ingredients of each dessert to be demonstrated were assembled on trays before the lecture began. This speeds up the program, mak ing it continuous and interesting for the audience. Some of the actual preparation must be done beforehand; it in volves four to five hours of work just to get ready for the demon stration. Chocolate is melted be forehand, and vanilla and sugar are measured. Plates, blue and white tea sets, punch bowl and cups are assembled and await the end products meringue tortes, mousse au chocolat, French choc olate and steamed snowball with fresh cherries. The demonstrations are given on a work table with a mirror attached overhead reflecting the demonstrator's hands and con tents of bowls an d measuring cups as she whips , egg whites, beats cake batter or stirs a choc olate mousse. Demonstrators wear white uni forms, stockings and white shoes. They choose a particular group to which their lecture will be addressed an d pretend they're actually talking to a crowd of farm women or new brides. Helen kept up a constant chit chat with the "ladies" in her aud ience. The demonstrations are kept informal with frequent ques tions directed to the demonstra tor.

Refreshments and entertain ment were provided by the so rority. Men May By HELEN LOUISE LUYBEN Just what man look like 500,000 years from now, providing man exists 500,000 years from now? _ . . Dr. Fred P. Thieme of the University of Michigan, Department of Anthropology, insists the Homo sapiens of the- future will not have radar ears, periscope eyes or grasshopper limbs, in spite of what one reads in comic books. Dr. Thieme's man in approximately 500,000 A.D. will have "some childhood characteristiCs of pre sent man," an immature and fem inized face, bulging forehead, re ceding hairline, smaller jaw, fewer teeth, larger nose and big toe, and absolutely no little toe at all Bones of modern man are al ready less massive than those of his ancestor, indicating a trend toward decreased muscular de velopment and a less powerful and bulky b o dy. Continued growth of the brain will cause an increase in the size of the head. Thus man will have a slightly top-heavy appearance. Does this larger head, mean more hair and therefore good news for the barbers? Not at all, Dr. Thieme says. Evolution may root out the profession of barber ing completely. Man is likely to lose all his hair and put the comb and shampoo manufacturers out I of business, This matter of losing a toe is serious, though. Granted, the lit tle toe does shirk its job of carry ing around the body's 'weight— the big toe carries half the weight placed on the foot but many persons have developed asenti- . mental attachment for it. And it would hardly seem the time to abandon an y one of the toes, what with all that extra head to carry around. Wesley to Fête Seniors At Outdoor Service Wesley Foundation will hold a senior recognition service follow-. ing a picnic at 5:15 p.m. tomor- row. in Hort Woods. The service, last of the year, will take place in the outdoor chapel after the picnic. Westminster ,Foundation will hold closing semester Communion services" at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow. The new council will be installed tomorrow at 10:45 a.m. services. A picnic will be held next Satur day. Coeds 'Dia oilcan)," Plan Boyfriends' Use as Profs That glorious time of year has arrived when young men's fancies turn even more to thoughts of love, and young women's thoughts diabolically decide that it is time to master the game of tennis. And, of course, the best way to acquire this collegiate is through the poor boy friend who will probably be too think of a valid argument against her folly. Because the coed is taking ten nis in phys ed, she is equipped with all necessary implements: a warped tennis racket and char treuse tennis shorts with red and white stripes. Being a woman, she is also equipped with the other necessary equipment such as shoes and a shrunken "T" shirt. After deciding to leave early to secure a court, our coed trips (her shoe laces are untied) down the dormitory stairs at 12:45 p.m. A half hour and two ice cream cones later, she and her boyfriend saun ter up to the courts. After an hour's wait, they are finally ready to begin. Fortunately, our hero has come equipped with two cans of tennis balls. By the end of 15 minutes of hitting (and missing) the ball over the net and fence, the second can is opened. Our coed decides that she is sufficiently prepared to take on her beloved opponent, who is now so exhausted from chasing balls that he can hardly move. The boy, friend realized that it would be unfair to embarrass his date by trouncing her to any ex tent. Our coed has studied psy chology, sociology and dorm gos sip and is aware of the fact that it is not advisable to defeat her boy friend. The game proceeds rapidly as they take turns missing the ball and lauding each other's proficiencies. of Tomorrow Be Hairless Foresters Try Fence Embalming It seems the foresters on cam pus have the idea they're funeral directors or undertakers. They embalm fence posts with all sorts of preservatives, then bury them in a two-acre cemetery to test their durability and rate of de terioration under various weather conditions. All this experimentation means the farmer will get longer life from his fence posts. Some of the posts are buried in the cemetery untreated, others have been boiled in creosote oil, or cold-soaked in copper naphthenate or penta chlorphenol mixed with kerosene. At varying. stages of deteriora tion the buried fence post is test ed with a tension gauge, and the force necessary to break it by pulling on it with an ordinary rope fastened 30 inches from the ground, is recorded. A post which withstands a lateral pull of 50 pounds is left in place until the next check. Thus the foresters can tell the life expectancy of woods used for fence posts. Pines take most pre servative treatments better than the other softwoods tested; red oak, aspen and white ash are per haps most durable among - the hardwoods. But if one wants a good fence post—one which won't require any embalming before burial and yet will stand head and shoulders above all the other woods—he can use black locust. It's got that Penn State stamp of approval. By BETTY. KOSTEB Watson, Althouse Elected by Grange New officers of the Penn State Grange are Leslie Watkins, mas ter; John Althouse, overseer; Da vid Christian, secretary; Edward Thomas, treasurer; Barbara Con nitt, lecturer. Robert Huston, steward; Robert W. Decker, assistant steward; Marian Lainey, lady assistant steward; Elizabeth Bortz, ceres; Theresa Meng, pomona; Etella Lainey, flora; Robert H. Hodge, gate keeper. Russell B. Dickerson, vice-dean of the School of Agriculture, Theodore Rockafellow and George Alleman were elected to the ex ecutive committee. After half a set, our coed be gins to show signs of exhaustion, and she coyly announces that she didn't have time for breakfast and is too famished to continue. Through this move, she manages to leave the court without losing or carelessly winning. She also snares a free meal. The game is over, but she man ages to have our hero promise to teach her more the following Week. Spring showers and summer swimming weather fortunately in tervene, and tennis is left to the true enthusiasts and knee-lengUle gym-suit-clad coeds. PAGE F°N.lll knowledge stunned' to
