Elizabethtown
To Collaborate
in Eng Training
Elizabethtown College and the
University have completed plans
to collaborate in a program to
train students in engineering, it
was announced yesterday by A. C.
Baugher, president of Elizabeth
town College, and President Mil
ton S. Eisenhower.
The joint plan . will enable a
student to enroll for a three-year
liberal and scientific program at
Elizabethtown, and then to trans
fer to the University for the final
two years of work.
The student will qualify for a
B.A. degree from Elizabethtown
and a B.S. degree from the Uni
versity.
The program provides a liberal
arts and technical edUcation in
five years instead of the usual
six or more. It provides time for
undecided students to determine
whether they wish to enter the
engineering field.
Application for the program
will be made at Elizabethtown. At
enrollment time students will in
dicate their intention to continue
the program. The student will be
recommended to transfer to the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture at the University in his
sixth semester. He will be quali
fied to enter aeronautical, civil,
electrical, industrial mechanical,
or sanitary engineering curricu-'
lums.
Transponder
Tests Continue
The transponders installed in
the West Dormitory area last
month by Station WDFM are still
being tested, according to Phillip
Scott, chief engineer.
Scott said reception has . been
generally good, but minor ad
justments are still necessary.
John Price, assistant to the gen
eral manager, said yesterday stu
dent response in the West Dorm
area has been good. Several calls
were received Sunday night, he
added.
When final testing is complete,
the transponder will be removed,
specifications will be drawn up
and submitted to a commercial
manufacturer for production.

The American people seem to know more about ancient mounds
of Mesopotamia and pyramids of Egypt than they do about 19th cen
tury commercial architecture, Winston R. Weisman, assistant pro
fessor of fine arts, told members of the Faculty Luncheon Club
yesterday.
Weisman illustrated his talk on
the magnificent "Commercial Pal
noes of New York" with slides of
lithographs of many of the for
gotten landmarks of the mid-19th
century.
From the lack of knowledge on
the subject, he said he assumed
that Americans must think their
ancestors did nothing "except
stay at home and go to church."
This, of course. was very wrong.
he said.
Prior to this period of great ele
gance in public taste, most busi
ness and commercial buildings
were drab two and three story af
fairs, he said. The age of elegance
and the striking buildings of
Greek revival style was brief,
however, Weisman said, due to
the great expense and space con
sumed by useless pillars and other
ornaments.
The new trenc'. in American
commercial buildings in New York
began with the erection of a giant
marble dry goods store known as

Stuart's, which gained fame
throughout the entire world as a
beautiful showcase, he said.
Gradually Broadway - became
crowded with such stores, Weis
man said, and the invention of
the elevator in 1870 opened up a
new age in commercial architec
ture. The grand palace style was
destroyed as massive skyscrapers
captured the American imagina
tion and buildin g ingenuity, he
said.
Weisman is regarded as an out
standing authority on commer
cial architecture in the United
States. He has written numerois
magazine articles on the - subject
and recently received a two-page
spread in the "New York Times
Magazine" with an article on sky
scrapers. He also wrote the lead
article in Great Britain's fore
most architectural magazine,
"Architectural Review."
Before coining to the University,
Weisman taught at the Univer
sities of Texas and Indiana.
