No more than two organizations will be permitted to combine as
a group in the participation of the Spring Week program, George
Richards, chairman, has announced.
If more than two groups organize as one entrant in the activi
ties, major problems will arise, he explained. The cqpunittee's final
decision was in the face of nwse
problems, he said.
Each double organization who
wishes to participate may enter
only one candidate in each of the
three contests—the He-Man con
test, the Ugly Man contest, and
the Miss Penn State queen contest.
Twenty-five points for the spon
soring group will be awarded en
tries into the He-Man and the Ug
ly Man contests. The five final
ists in the Miss Penn State con
test will each receive 100 points
for their sponsoring groups.
Booths in the carnival will open
at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and
Thursday. Spotlights will be
played on the
.field on Tuesday
night toQnable groups to set up
booths eerly, Richard Grossman,
chairman of the carnival commit
tee, said.
The site of the carnival, May
13 and 14, will be in Windcrest.
Last year the festival was held
on the parking lot behind the Sig
ma Nu and Sigma Chi fraterni
ties. •
Joint Dining
Planned by
WD Council
West Dorms and Thompson Hall
will begin a program of informal
weekly exchange dinners March
17, Richard Bowers, food and
menu committee chairman of the
West Dorm council, announced
yesterday.
McKee. Hamilton, and Thomp
son dining halls will each,serve
one third women and two thirds
men under the, exchange dinner
program.
The exchange dinners on a
weekly basis have been ap
proved by Mary E. Brewer, as
sistant dean of women; Pluma
C. Reeves, supervisor of the West
Dorm dining halls; and Gladys
P. Gummerson, head hostess of
Thompson Hall, Bowers said.
The dinners will continue as
long as the students cooperate in
attending, Bowers said. They will
be held every Wednesday except
for one week a month, the week
the Thompson women have a for
mal "dress-up" dinner.
This is the first time weekly pro
grams of exchange dinners have
been held at the University, Miss
Brewer said. She said that ex
change dinners in other areas
might be possible if there is
enough student interest.
Members of the West Dorm
council have volunteered to act
as head waiters for the dinners
without pay, Bowers said.
The new plan replaces the old
system, considered a failure, which
provided for exchange dinners in
the area on an irregular basis,
usually once a month. Dress was
formal.
Having the dinners more often
and making the dress informal is
an effort by the council to make
the dinners more popular with
men and women, Bowers said.
Thompson women reported to the
council that formal dress was
their main objection to the old
system.

don. recently relieved from active

in 1952.
Here's Your
And Breeze
The first round of bluebooks has gotten under way. Many Penn
Staters are already walking around campus with that bleary-eyed
expression that , comes from long, sleepness nights of cramming. '
Cramming for tests used to bother A. W. Turnbow too—that is,
until he invented his sleep learning machine. After that, he never
had a bit of trouble.
In fact, Turnbow, who gradu
ated from Nebraska College last
June, recently made the statement
that he slept his way through col
lege.
It came as a surprise to his pro
fessors, who had once predicted
he would flunk out. But he didn't,
and last week he disclosed his
secret.
Turnbow said he had read a-lot
of articles on the theory of sleep
learning. The only trouble was
that none of them told how to
go about it. So Turnbow tried
some experimenting on his own.
Was Flunking Out
He decided he had nothing to
lose. He - was working at a full
time job and trying to carry 19
credit hours besides. He had been
told he was flunking out.
So he made a sleep learning ma

Cabinet Approves
Customs. Changes
All-University Cabinet Thursday night passed an amendment to
the All-University Constitution making it possible for customs vio
lation cases to be appealed to Tribunal or the Freshman Regula
tions Board depending upon the sex of the person being tried.
The amendment contains the provision that the action of Tri
bunal or Judicial shall be considered final, subject to an appeal to
the Senate committee on student
affairs subcommittee on discipline:
In other action taken Thursday
night, cabinet moved to untable
and place in committee a pro
posal to investigate town housing
conditions. This proposal was
tabled at last week's cabinet meet
ing after considerable debate con
cerning the feasibility of such an
investigation.
Committee Appointments
Richard Lemyre, All-University
president, appointed L'e ona r d
Goodman, Marshall Donley, Rob
ert Schoner, Harry Sawyer, Ross
Clark, and James McDowell to
serve on the committee.
Marie Wagner, a member of
Red Cross committee, gave cabi
net a report on the committee's
recent activities. She reported that
the committee took a group of
students to the Altoona Veterans
Hospital Feb. 15 to entertain the
patients. Costs for the trip were
paid by the local Red Cross chap
ter, she reported.
Miss Wagner reported the com
mittee will sponsor a blood drive
April 26 to 28 in the Temporary
Union Building. Army, Navy and
Air Force ROTC units will be
donors for the drive, she said.
Lemyre appointed the members
of the senior class gift committee.
They are Carolyn Pelczar, chair
man; Edith Burt. and Donley.

chine. Time has proven that he
didn't lose anything, either. Ac
cording to Turnbow, he owes his
college degree to his experiment.
"It was hard for me the first
few weeks," he said, "but anyone
can learn while they sleep if they
stick to it."
"I remember how my buddies
laughed at me when I told them
about sleep learning," Turnbow
said. "But when I started tossing
around five syllable vocabulary
words, formulas, dates, and com
plete passages from Shakespeare,
they changed their attitude.'
Sleep Learning Easy
Turnbow holds that sleep learn
ing is the easiest way to get an
education. He claims it will revo

Former Student
Is Investigated
In Shooting
The Dean of Men's office is in
vestigating the connections of
Leonard Gold, a former sixth se
mester business administration
major, in the shooting of Mrs.
Anne Starr, Coburn, early Sunday
morning.
Frank Auman, 55, Colyer, is be
ing held on charges of assault
and battery with intent to kill.
He waived a hearing Thursday be
fore Justice of the Peace Guy C.
Mills. He was committed to the
Centre County jail when he gave
himself up Thursday morning.
Auman said he shot Mrs. Starr
because he "wanted to scare that
fellow away" from the car where
Gold, Mrs. Starr, and two of her
children were sitting. Mrs. Starr
was shot in the right forearm by
a 32 caliber revolver, the Centre
Daily Times reported. Her daugh
ter, Alice, 10, suffered a superfi
cial chest wound. Mrs. Starr is in
Centre County Hospital, but her
daughter was discharged, the
newspaper said.

Bluebooks
read two thousand Russian vocab
uary words into the sleep learning
machine, complete with English
translations. Results were so suc
cessful that he soon was using
the method in all his courses.
Turnbow decided that others
should have the benefit of his
experience. As soon as he grad
uated, he organized the Sleep
Learning. Research Association in
Omaha, Neb.
$5O Sleep Machine
He recently wrote a book called
"Learn a Language While You
Sleep." The book tells the com
plete story and how to make a
sleep learning machine for as lit
tle as $5O.
So, there's hope yet. If you
haven't slept for a couple of
weeks, or if you're . just naturally
lazy, sleep learning may be the
thing for you. At least you will
have an excuse for sleeping in
class.
