The department is a branch of
the School of Physical Education
and Athletics. Majors in this field
receive training in social recrea
tion, design of playground areas,
municipal recreation,- YMCA and
YWCA work.
In recent years, recreation di
rectors Have launched a nation
wide campaign to open up school
industrial arts shops for recrea
tion purposes.
Such a program cannot actually
give a person vocational training
or make him excel in a certain
game, but it can give him a rough
idea of what he’s best suited for.
Countries such as Norway and
Sweden have long-standing rec
reation programs.
The curriculum includes field
trips to neighboring towns. Ap
proximately 1000 miles were cov
ered jn field trips last fall. Pre
sent activities include the Thurs
day campus speech ' clinic party
and girl scout activities.
Heading the Recreation depart
ment are Fred M. Coombs, pro
fessor in charge of the recreation
program; and Hal White jn,, as
sistant professor of physical edu
cation. The Recreation office is
in 201 Moffatt Cottage.
Graduating seniors have always
had job opportunities. For the
four women graduates last spring
there were 19 YWCA openings.
There were also several openings
for men graduates as recreation
directors.
Many opportunities are avail
able for jobs during summers at
camps or resorts and for regular
work after graduation.

university in terms of size, or
ganization and function. Nomi
nal recognition' of that fact would
properly identify the institution
to its advantage.”
They explained that, by defi
nition, a college is an undergrad
uate institution doing little or no
research, while a university offer s
both undergradate and graduate
instruction and maintains a well
developed research program.
Penn State, the releases ex
plained, qualifies ■ for university
status on both counts: it now
stands “third in Pennsylvania (19th
in the nation) in the number of
master’s degrees awarded and
second in the state (30th in the
nation) in the number, of doctor
ates awarded.
“2. The change in name would
permit more effective administra
tive organization of the institu
tion.”
They point out how greater
flexibility would result because
with Penn State a university, the
existing schools will be renamed
colleges, with the major divisions
therein becoming schools suitably
subdivided into departments.
“3. The change in name would
indirectly help to raise the qual
ity of the instructional and re
search staff.”
Many times, the releases de
clare, top-flight staff people and
students, particularly on the grad
uate level, have hesitated to come
to the College because of the pres
tige implications of the name.

Arrives in Time

It has been cold recently, but
it’s all very normal.
That’s the report given yester
day by Charles Weintraub, re
search assistant in the Depart
ment of Meterology. Outlook for
the weekend, Weintraub report
ed, is for cloudiness and contin
ued cold.
This is “real November weath

said. Yester day

November. All v^
time low for November was in
1929 when the mercury slid down
to 1 degree above zero. In 1938,
temperatures hit a high of 76 de
grees.
There was a trace of snowfall
between 4:30 and 5 a.m. Thurs
day morning. A heavier snowfall
hit State College about 4:30 p.m.
yesterday with several inches of
snow. November snowfall average
is 2.2 inches. In 1892, though, 11.7
inches were recorded.
Weintraub declined to make a
long-range prediction for the win
ter. The Meterology department,
he said, is kept busy enough tag
ging the weather for a 24-hour
period. Ahe department is quite
willing to leave season-long pre
dicting to the authorities —alma-

To Present
Yale Prof
The second in the Liberal Arts
lecture series will be delivered at
8 p.m. Tuesday in 121 Sparks by
Dr. Henri Peyre, Sterling profes
sor of French and chairman of
the Department of French at Yale
University.
Dr. Peyre will discuss “The
Present Temper -in France Inter
pi eted Through French Litera
ture.”
A native of Paris, the professor
received his early education at the
Lycee Louis le Grand. He com
pleted his college study at the
Ecole No.rmale Superieure and
later at the Sorbonne. Peyre
taught in France and England,
and was an associate in French
at Bryn Mawr College frqm 1925
to 1928.
In 1928 Dr. Peyre joined the
faculty at Yale as assistant pro
fessor of French and in 1930 re
ceived a Guggenheim Fellowship
to make a study of Louis Menard,
19th century French author. He
received his Litt. D. in 1931 at the
University of Paris.
Dr. Peyre left the Yale faculty
in 1933 to serve as professor of
French literature at the Egyptian
University in Cairo and in 1936
was appointed to the faculty of
the University of Lyons. He was
named a visiting professor at the
University of Buenos Aires the
following year and returned to
Yale in 1938.
“Men and Works of the 20th
Century,” Dr. Feyre’s compre
hensive survey published in
France in 1938, has become a
standard reference book for
French departments.
