THURSDAY. OCTOBER 7.T954 Spatafore Gives Spaill to Vocals Vocal entertainment at the University received a dash of fresh vitality when tiny, blue-eyed. Frances Spatafore appeared on campus in frosh customs last fall. And soon to be included in-Miss Spatafore’s steadily growing list of singing accomplishments is her appearance with the “Dream Spinners” as vocalist for Cwens’ annual Dungaree Drag, to be held 9-p.rh. to . midnight Saturday ,in Recreation Hall. Neither the freshman' herself nor the University knew the fu ture in 'store ; when Miss Spata fore - enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts to major in German and minor in Italian. However, the latent .talent of Miss Spatafore wasn’t concealed for long. By" the end of her first semester she was known all over campus for her singing voice, pretty smile, and sparkling personality, in de mand at dances, fraternity parties, and talent shows. ' The discovery of her talent startled Miss Spatafore as well as the University. Singing for a : dance band was an unknown experience to her before coming to Penn State. With a back ground of high school choral singing, one large soloist part, and no voice training, she sang largely for her own enjoyment. Singing one evening , with a group gathered around the Spruce Cottage piano, the new freshman was complimented by a friend for her lovely singing voice, and told she should do dance band Singing, Receiving the comment lightly, Miss Spatafore forgot the inci dent- until some weeks later a member of Pi Kappa Phi, hearing her sing, recommended that she audition for vocalist in Jack Hu ber’s orchestra. The audition was a success. With no knowledge of dance band style of singing, but with a mellow voice, she accepted the position with skeptical doubt about her own qualifications for the job. The tricks of the trade came with experience, and experience was plentiful as Jack Huber’s or chestra accepted engagement upon engagement. Confidence came to Miss Spatafore, too; and'the ter ror of. her first singing job soon vanished. 14 Units Elecf Representatives To Leonides • v - . .

PENNSYLVANIA Land Evaluates Training Plan In Formosa S. Lewis Land, director of vo cational teacher education and professor of industrial education, recently flew to Formosa to eval uate a training program for in dustrial teachers at Taiwan Teachers College. A contract, between the Univer sity and the teachers college was set up' two years ago after Land made a similar trip to help lay plans for the college and its pro gram designed to assist the Na tionalist Chinese government in development of the island’s econ omy. During his recent trip, Land was to make recommendations for extending the contract, which will expire in March. He said he found while in Formosa for three weeks substantial progress has been made toward the program’s goals, and the attitude of the people of Formosa is favorable to the Uni ted States. The program is sponsored and financed by the Foreign Oper ations Administration in Wash ington. University Faculty At present the University has two full-time staff members at Taiwon Teachers College. Last year 12 staff members of the college, including the president and the head of the Industrial Education department, had at tended the University. This year five. of the 12 are. still studying industrial education' at the Uni versity. 9 Million People The island of Formosa is ap proximately one-third the area of Pennsylvania and has a popu lation of 9 million, including 2 million Chinese who came from the mainland in 1948 and 1949. Formosa is primarily an agricul tural country'with two-thirds of the' people living on farms, but the island has become more in dustralized in the past two years, Land said. Rice and sugar are the two principle crops. Land spent two days in Hono lulu .on his return trip on a mis sion for the Foreign Operations Administration to China.
