WEDNESDAY. 'MARCHID. 4954.
Society. Goes,
Goe - s a.l.Home
As
So
The house of today differs from the house of yesterday because
ways of living have changed, Christine F. Salmon, assistant profes
sor of .housing and home art, and F. C. Salmon, associate professor
of architecture, told approximately 50 people hi Simmons Lounge
last flight.
The lecture, "The House of Today," was the first of three lectures
in a' • family conference, "Family
Living in Three Dimensions,"
sponsored by Women's Student
Government Association and Penn
State Christian Association.
Joan Arehart, sixth semester
honie economics major and chair
man of the program, introduced
Salmon as first speaker of the
evening, Salmon said architecture
expresSes the society in which one
lives, - and as society "changes, so
does architecture. When an archi
tect. designs a house, he keeps
three things in mind: the family's
needs and wants, the family's
budget; and the site of the new
house
D. G. Mcdarey, associate pro
fessor of education, will speak
at the second family conference
discussion at 7 tonight in Sim
mond Lounge.
ToPic of the lecture will be
"The Home Is Bigger Than' the
House." Iris Rodgin, sixth se
mester arts and letters major,
is chairman of the program.
Discussion groups will follow
the lecture di 7:40 p.m. The dis
cussions will be on "What Do
We Hear?" by Mrs. Nora Graf
fius, assistant professor of edu
cation: "What Do We See?" by
H. E. Nelson, associate professor
of speech; and "Religious Tra
ditions and the Home," by - Rev.
Luther H. Harshbarger, Univer
sity chaplain.
Chairmen of the discussion
groups are Phyllis Richards,
sixth semester home econom
ics major; Sylv.ia Smith, sixth
semester education major; and
Mary Petitgout, eighth semester
home ecoonmics major.
A coffee hour will be held at
8:30 p.m.
Mrs. Salmon, whose talk fol
lowed her husband's, said econ
omic factors are of prime impor
tance in affecting living .habits.
These economics factors are wider
distribution of wealth, higher
construction costs, and fewer ser
vants. Technological reasons also
affect the building of the new
home.
Examples of these are the auto
mobile, deep freezers, and elec
trical, time-saving devices. Mrs.
Salmon said there are also time
and psychological factors which
definitely affect a house. Since
modern man works shorter hours
than before, he spends more time
on recreation. Houses are built
with this factor in mind.
Salmon concluded the lecture'
by emphasizing four factors to be
considered in choosing a house:
economic, technological, time, and
psychological, from the point of
view of an architect.
The high cost of living also
has introduced the prefabricated
homes used widely in America
today, he explained.. •

Comp Grade Nets
Rugs for Housewife
Mrs. John Egnak, third semester business administration major,
who was promised a clothes dryer by her husband if she got a 2 in
English Comp. 1, didn't get a 2 and didn't get a clothes dryer.
But she did rate a 1 in what Mr. Egnak terms "her toughest sub
ject" and was awarded a set of new rugs for the living room and
dining room floors of the Egnak home at 130 N. Gill street .
Mr. Egnak, second semester la
bor management relations major,
said he had planned to buy the
dryer for his 27 year old wife,
Phyllis, even though she didn't
quite make the required grade,
but she declined, sticking to the
bargain, and_accepted the rugs in
stea
The Egnaks made the news
shortly before the Christmas va
cation when a wire service story
was printed in a Philadelphia
newspaper telling of the offer
made by Egnak to his wife.
Free Dryer Set Aside
The story attracted the eye of
an official distributor for clothes
dryers in the Philadelphia area,
who •contacted University offi
cials and obtained permission to
set aside a dryer for Mrs. Egnak,
free of charge, if she made the
grade.
The Egnaks, both World War
II veterans . . . she was a WAC,
met in Germany in April, 1947
and were married in October of
that year. John had reenlisted in
the Army as a sergeant after hav
ing served during the war years.
They have four children; Pa
tricia, 6, John, 4, Philip, 20
months, and Bruce, 9 months. Pa
tricia was born in Germany short
ly before John's discharge in Jan
uary of 1950, at which time the
Egnaks returned to the States.
Recalled to Duty
However, John was recalled to
active duty when the fighting
broke out in Korea, and Phyllis
took Patty and John to her native
Illinois for a year.
When John returned from Ko
rea, the Egnaks divided the rest
of- his tour of duty between Mas
sachusetts and West Palm Beach,
Fla.
"It was in Florida that I de
cided I wanted to go to school,"
John recalls. "And I knew that I
wanted to do it up north." The
33-year-old veteran had planned
to go to college when he gradu
ated from South Philadelphia
High School, some 13 years ago,
but his army career changed those
plans.
"I'm still in the reserves,
though," John adds, and "I have
my old sergeant's rating in the
284th Forestry Engineer Com
pany."
'Staggered' Hours
The Egnaks find that keeping
house, which they bought and
moved into just three days before
the beginning of classes last se
mester, and caring for the chil
dren, doesn't, interfere too much
with their studying. They've tried
to stagger their hours so one of
them is always with the children.
By HANK DiPIPI
"The older children are really a
big help," Phyllis says.
"Of course," her husband points
out, "all the talks I've given you
on utilizing what's been learned
in time and motion studies are a
big factor in your efficiency!"
Phyllis grins.
"Seriously," John says, "it's not
finding time to study that's hard
but it has been difficult getting
back into the routine of homework
and examinations a f ter having
been out of it so long. We both
decided we wanted a college (You
mean University, don't you, Mr.
Egnak?) education though, and
we're going to get it. Luckily we
can both attend school under the
G.I. Bill."
