With this in mind we are passing on the fol lowing tips on how to take notes which originally appeared in the Madison College Breeze: The professor says: “Probably the greatest quality of the poetry of John Milton, who was born in 1608. is the combination of beauty and power. Few have excelled him in the use of the English language, or for'that matter, in the lucidity of verse form, “Para dise Lost” being said to be the greatest single poem ever written.” You write down: "Milton— born 1808." “When Lafayette first came to this country, he discovered Ameri ca, and Americans needed his help if their cause were to survive, and this he promptly supplied them.” "Lafayette discovered Anaeri- . . it is possible that we' do not completely understand the Russian viewpoint . . "Professor Mitchell is a Com munist." “Pages 7 through 15'are not re quired, but will prove of in estimable value to the student in preparation for the term examin-, ation.” "Omit pages 7 through 15." “Socrates was a stoic, but it should be pointed out that sto icism is very diffeerht from cyn icism. A cynic is contemptupus of all things, especially human na ture, whereas a stoic is pne who. accepts all things as they are with out complaining.” "Socrates was a cynic." “The examination will test the student’s overall comprehension of the subject and thorough.know ledge of theories behind the facts and their relevance to fields other than political science, will be ab solutely necessary.” . "Bull exam." “The class Friday wili probably be the most important of the year since we will throw it open to_a general- discussion of the main problems which have come to our attention throughout the course. Attendance will not be taken.” - "No class Friday." * * * While being so proud of our eighth-semester eleven o’clock permissions we were amazed to learn that one of the most un usual privileges was recently granted to the senior class at Rad cliff e College.

A spelunker on the other hand, is a person who wades through oceans of mud, swings through the air like a trapeze artist, and swims icy underground pools, just for fun. ' This fascinating avocation was illustrated Wednesday in a slide talk by Arthur Hussey, president of the Nittany Grotto, at a meet ing of the Penn State Outing Club Hussey, an eighth semester ge ology major, explained that the club conducts field trips through many caves'' in central Pennsyl vania and explores the beautiful underground caverns. Many caves are found at sink holes in limestone valleys, Hussey said, but openings are often bur ied under dirt and trash and are very hard to find. Once found the caves are often difficult to enter, said Hussey. Many of them go straight down and must be entered on a rope ladder. The openings, too, are of ten so narrow a man can barely squeeze through. “One passage was so tight,” Hussey stated, “that one of the fel lows had to take a small compass out of his pocket to get through.” When the passages widen, how ever. the spelunker may find him self swinging through the air like a trapeze artist. On the floor of a cave the spe lunker often encounters adverse conditions, Hussey pointed out. The mud is sometimes knee-deep, the passages may be only a foot or so wide, and sometimes the explorers are even forced to swim icy pools. The spelunker, how ever, enjoys many breath-taking and unusual sights for his efforts, Hussey’s slides showed. This area of the state offers many different types of caves for the enjoyment of spelunkers and many kinds of formations may be found. Hussey said. The club has been responsible for the discovery of many caves in this - area, Hussey continued. The organization has also assisted R. W. Stone, past geologist for the state of Pennsylvania, in prepar ing a report on Pennsylvania caves to the- National Speleologi cal Society. The dub is a member of the N.S.S. and is affiliated with ap proximately 45 similar grottoes throughout the . country. The club’s newspaper, the Nittany Grotto Newsletter, informs these affiliated organizations of its ac complishments and doings. New members, both men and women, are always welcome, Hus sey said, and the club provides some of the equipment. By MIKE MILLER Groups Announce Sunday Speakers The Rev.
