Players' Site
Moved to TUB
Arena-type plays previously presented by the Penn State Players
at Center Stage will be given in the Temporary Union Building this
fall.
These productions were presented in Woodmen Hall, Hamilton
avenue, which is unavailable this fall. - '
This change of locality will not in any way interfere with the
dramatic program for the year,
according to Arthur C. Cloetingh,
professor of dramatics. Two arena
productions, “Bell, Book, and
Candle’’ and “The Corn is Green”
will be done this semester with
two more scheduled for the
spring. “Bell, Book, and Candle”
will open Oct. 15. ,
It is expected, Cloetingh said,
that the TUB' will be used only
for this semester. He also an
nounced that rehearsals in the
main room of the TUB prob
ably would not inconvenience any
students who would want to use
the outer lounges of the building.
“I have a feeling that this
change will be for the best,” said
Cloetingh. “It forces us to make
improvements on our arena pro
ductions, and also it will put the
theatre in an area easily reached
by most people.”
Another advantage of the new
site, said Cloetingh, is that the
seating capacity will be enlarged
and therefore will enable more
people to see-the shows. The per
manent stage in the TUB will not
be used. Rather, the acting area
will be in the center of the floor
with the seating area surround
ing it.
Cloetingh said also that the dra
matics division was prepared for
this change as the possibility of
losing Woodmen Hall had been
apparent for several years.
Cloetingh also added that plans
are being made for another build
ing to be used for the arena pre
sentations after February.
Besides the four arena-type
productions four more plays are
scheduled to open in Schwab
Auditorium.
MBA to Close
Receiving Desk
Today in TUB
Today is the last day used books
will' be accepted for sale at the
Used Book Agency, student op
erated book store located in the
Temporary Union building.
Students may purchases books
at ÜBA until noon Saturday. ÜBA
hours tomorrow through Friday
are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The school
supply store located in the TUB
will be open at the same hours
this week.
Money for books sold in ÜBA
is being turned over to book sell
ers on the stage of the TUB ball
room as soon as records of the
sale are received, Benjamin Low
enstein, chairman of the Penn
State Book Exchange, said yester
day.
No account has been kept of
the number of books sold since
last figures were, released Thurs
day, Lowenstein said. The agency
had sold about 2000 books by
Thursday, the second day of op
eration. v
Almost the last of the official
freshman dinks were sold this
morning, bringing the total num
ber sold to 2430. Lowenstein at
tributed the large sale to the fact
that many upperclassmen pur
chased the dinks as souvenirs and
some frosb bought two.
Used books for all courses ex
cept language are needed. His
tory, sociology, -psychology, and
philosophy books are especially in
demand, he said.
ÜBA has been smewhat handi
capped, Lowenstein noted, be
cause of the changes made by
some instructors in the texts re
quired for their courses. ÜBA
will refund money for any books
which are not being used this se
mester.
Used books are sold on a serve
yourself system in the TUB ball
room. Students set their own
prices for their books and ÜBA
charges 20 cents per volume for
handling.
The ÜBA will remain closed for
about a week after Saturday and
then will reopen to return unsold
books and distribute money not
collected this week.

several times and ended up in
the wrong classes, they lived
through it.
Some upperclassmen even had
trouble finding classrooms. The
new name of Weaver Hall on the
former Horticulture building had
many confused.
Ray V. Watkins, University
scheduling officer, announced that
the meeting place of a few classes
may be changed if other rooms are
made available through dropped
courses.

Muller Invents
New Microscope
At University
An atomic microscope, capable
of viewing the smallest particles
of matter —atoms and molecules
—has been invented at the Uni
versity by Edwin W. Muller,
professor of physics.
A needle a thousand times
sharper than a sewing needle is
sealed into one end of a cone
shaped vacuum tube pointed at a
flourescent screen about two in
ches in diameter.
“One of the very important
things about the microscope,”
Muller said, “is its power to make
visible the first atomic surface
layer on the needle’s point.”
The equipment has been used'
to confirm the deductive theories
of chemists and physicists
through visual examinations.
The physicist has been able to
observe chemical reactions on the
point of the needle, the formation
of alloys by the evaporation of
foreign metals, and, by adding
high temperatures and varying
voltages, the changes that occur
in the surface atoms and mole
cules.
Labor Union institutes
Nearly 850 labor union mem
bers attended nine institutes at
the University last summer.
Sophomores to Meet

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
3 Lounges
Forbidden
To Women
Coeds will not be permitted in
the small lounges of Hamilton,
McKee and Irvin Halls at any
time, unless they are attending
authorized student affairs, James
W. Dean, assistant to the Dean of
Men in charge of independent af
fairs, said yesterday.
Authorization must come from
the Dean of Men’s office, Dean
said. Affairs will be chaperoned
and residents wishing to apply
for use of any of the 'small
lounges, or the large lounge in
Waring Hall, must apply at 109
Old Main,' seven days prior to the
event.
Dean added that the lounge,
student information desk, and
offices in Waring Hall now are
under the jurisdiction qf the Dean
of Men’s office. Dean will have
office hours at 119 Waring, from
8:30 a.m. until noon daily.
The main lounge in Waring may
be used for university functions.
Dean said, providing that the ma
jo ity of members of the applying
party are residents of the West
Dormitory area.
Dean said that firewalls in
Hamilton were installed during
the summer, and that West resi
dent halls have been subdivided
into units. He stressed that stu
dents should become acquainted
with their unit, because all re
leases from the Dean of Men’s
office will be in terms of resident
hall units, and not floors.
In Hamilton, A level is now
unit one, B level is unit two, first
floor is divided into units three
and four, second floor is divided
into five and six, and the third
and fourth floors are unit seven.
B level of McKee Hall is now
unit one, first floor is unit two,
second floor is unit three, and the
third and fourth floors are unit
four. The first and second floors
of Watts and Jordan are unit one,
and the third and fourth floors
are unit two. No changes were
made in Irvin.

Cottage Cheesecake
Cottages Challenge
Hostesses, Coeds
“Every cottage has a lengehd passed on from year to year,
But ours, of course, is special, because we’re living here ...”
Speaking of spirit, and this is the week for such talk, new stu
dents and old have a lesson to learn from the women in Elm, Maple,
Pine, and Spruce cottages. .
The cottages, for those not in the know, are the four aging
yellow frame and stone houses located near Atherton Hall, Osmond
Laboratory, and the Temporary Union Building. They are living
units. And living in these units
are fifty-six transfer coeds who
are fast making the cottages their
perfect home-away-from-home.
Instead of the professional hos
tess who supervises regulations
in the larger dormitories, four
students have adopted a maternal
aspect to become cottage house
mothers
Mary Pettigout, a graduate stu
dent in home economics, rules
the Elm Cottage roost with its
nineteen coeds. Patricia Ellis, a
senior in political science, has the
thirteen Maple residents as her
charges. Faith Gallagher, a senior
in sociology, housemothers the
nine .women in Pine cottage, and
Baylee Friedman, also a senior
sociology major, is responsible for
fifteen Spruce cottage transfer
students.
The housemothers sure unani
mous in their expression that they
are looking forward to a “living
learning experience. And loads of
fun.” ,
Wherein is the cottage exper
ience different from that in the
elevatored, venetian-blinded dor
mitories erected in the last dec
ade- Cottage residents will tell
you that what they have is a chal
lenge. Friendliness is to make up
for facilities, spirit for modern
ity. •
Since the cottages are theirs
for the fixing, the residents have
already begun planning interior
decorating sessions when plants,
goldfish, and desk scarves will be
placed over the bare spots and
original paintings over the man
tels. The freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors living in a few cot
tages have decided to rotate the
checker’s job, putting the salary
from it toward a - general fix-up
our-house fund. •
Having their meals in McAllis
ter Hall with women from Mac
Hall, Women’s Building, and
Grange dormitory helps keep the
cottage coeds from the possibility
of isolation. And representation
in the Women’s Student Govern
ment Association through, their
president, insures that each cot
tage voice is heard as loudly as
