FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1954 Frosh Postpones Career for Campus How would one choose between a position as , vocalist with Baron Elliot’s band and one as student at the Pennsylvania State University? Perhaps to some people, there would be no decision —they would choose Baron Elliot. But Carolyn OfDonnell, who was faced with just that decision, chose four years at Penn State. . Miss O’Donnell, first semester dramatics major from Wilkins burg, has been singing on radio since the ripe old age of five and has appeared on television as both a singer on telethons and as an announcer for advertisements. She not only sang with Baron Elliot’s band this summer but sang on a weekly radio show ori Pittsburgh’s WPGH. She remembers her most excit ing experience, in her thrill packed work, as the first time she sang with Baron Elliot at a high school prom. Since then, she has sung with the bands of Tom my Carlin and Brad Hunt. After getting the education ' she feels is so important, Miss O’Donnell plans to go into radio and tele vision as a singer. From .the professional world of radio, television, and stageshow to the academic world of classes, studying, and freshman customs may seem like quite a big step, but Miss O’Donnell prefers the academic world. Here, she said, she meets so many new people and participates in all kinds of activities rather than being a by stander with little contact with her audiences. On her activities agenda, natur ally enough, are Thespians, Play ers, Women’s Chorus, and church chpir. Miss O’Donnell has taken dancing lessons, and is interested in sports, especially hockey and football. A radio man who attended Penn State for one semester advised Miss O’Donnell to come to the University. And luckily for the University’s music and dramatics programs, she followed his ad vice. ' Singing— (Continued, from page four) of red tape required for such an act. Entering the refrigerated vault which was the anatomical laboratory, the smell of some thing which we later learned to be formaldehyde caused us to immediately stagger out to a nearby water fountain. _ Refreshed, we returned and saw 'inside the door a barrel of several fleshy and bony articles. Tietz pulled one of these out, and we saw it. was a human leg. We beat a hasty retreat to the water foun tain. However, among trips back and forth from the fountain, we saw six or seven mutilated corpses ly ing on slabs and several cats, stiff and ready for dissection. “The bodies are now used only for demonstration,” Tietz ex plained pointing to one of the corpses which was covered by ex posed muscles, nerves, and arter ies. “Our students do all their work on cats.” Every once /in a while one of our students with connections in the Agriculture College will send a sheep out to have it killed and its arteries filled with red latex. Then he’ll dissect that.” "Once," continued Dr. Tietz, "we even had a student get a calf, but really that was too big." When asked about the ideal animals to work on, Tietz said that he wished they could ob tain some monkeys. In the '■ midst of a technical explanation of why these animals were pre ferred to any others except man himself, we noticed something floating in a small jar. “That’s a human embryo about four months along,” he explained obviously becoming engrossed in the explanations. “I dissected his brain; it should have been smooth, but I found it was wrinkled. He must have quite a headache now,” he added pointing to a large cav ity in the pre-born infant’s head. We looked, and this time didn’t even stop at the water fountain but rather headed straight for the men’s room while Dr. Tietz’s laughs echoed behind us.

She said she has met many people who have relatives in America and even in the Pittsburgh area. She has learned they feel the United States is a land of opportunity, security and. freedom. Often, a relative has told them so. ’ About 1000 visitors a day come to the Zagreb information center out of a population of 350,000 in Zagreb, Miss Mravintz said. Library Increases The library in Zagreb had only about 2500 volumes in 1952 when Miss Mravintz arrived. Now it includes 10,000 and for each there is a long waiting line. The people read plays, fiction and poetry, Miss Mravintz said. The people she meets are not envious of the U.S. but happy that someone, somewhere is se cure, she said. It gives them hope. Miss Mravintz is enthusiastic over the exchange program and feels it should be expanded.
