Did you every try to tell a starling that he’s not wanted and that
he should politely leave?
The birds in Millheim and State College headed for the fields
when they were given the treatment in August by three Penn State
scientists.

TAKING A COURSE JN
BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION?
If so, you may not realize, unless your
placement bureau has told you, how
valuable this may be to your future
business career. For all through
American business and industry to
day, there is a tendency to regard a
knowledge of the rudiments of busi
ness administration as an important
asset in any line of work.
Only recently one of America’s
leading engineering colleges reported
on the aptitudes sought by hundreds
of leading companies which had can
vassed its ranks for prospects. And,
except for engineering specialties
themselves, business administration
was mentioned more often than any
other aptitude.
Tell me more about opportunities for men talcing business administration.

The • treatment consists of the
amplification of a very special
noise, a noise that warns the -star
lings “it’s time to get out.”
Starling Chaser Works
The scientists. Dr. Hubert W.
Frings, professor of entomology,
his wife, Mable, and a graduate
student in zoology, Joseph Jum
ber, have developed a starling
chaser that does the work.
Still in the experimental stage,
the “chaser” cleared the nearby
community of Millheim of its
15,000 starlings, and certain areas
of State College , also were cleared
before the birds departed on their
annual flight to warmer’ climates.
Using a lightmeter, the scien
tists can predict the time of ar
rival of the birds in their favorite
roosts and thus can be ready to
apply the treatment: before the
birds are settled for the night.
Study Began Last Year
The study on the starlings was
started a year ago at the request
of the Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base. Starlings roosting in hang
ars cause serious damage to air
craft.
Although the scientists are lim
ited in the size of the area they
can treat with their experimental
equipment, they hope to have con
tinuing success in inducing the
starlings to spend the nights, as
well as the days, in the country.

When contacted, Robert Homan,
former sophomore class president,
said McCoy outlined at Student
Encampment a long-range plan
for construction of an indoor skat

the encampment recommended

hoped to improve the situation
without compulsive measures

co-operative action. They hope to
find a plan that will establish a

don’t think it will affect their

Marlene Wells, first semester
elementary education major:
“Persons who cut classes now
will probably continue to cut
them,. and' conscientious students
will keep their present attendance
records.”
Jack Apgar, fifth semester la
bor economics major: “Most of
the students at the University
are mature enough not to be in
fluenced by such an addition to
their environment. They may en
joy the facilities of the new build
ing during coffee hours, but
tfiey’ll remember to. go to class
too. That’s why they’re here.”
Peggy Graves, first semester
home economics major: “Students
already have enough places to
spend time, and the Student Un
ion would make little difference
when class time came.”
Robert Hanna, seventh, semes
ter science major: “Class cutting
may increase at the beginning of
the semester, but after the novel
ty wears off things will get back
to normal.”
Lillian Yacopchak, seventh se
mester sociology major: “Students
don’t usually cut classes because
they enjoy their surroundings.
It’s either pre-meditated or
brought about by conditions other
than the pleasant atmosphere of a
well-decorated room.”
