P 0? TWO
Profs in Government
Called ' Experiment r
The use of professors in Harrisburg to aid in the transition from
a Republican to a Democratic government was a “new experiment,
even a revolution,” Dr. R. Wallace Brewster, professor of political
science, told the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday.
Dr. Brewster was one of about 25 persons in Harrisburg re
cently studying the state govern
ment. As Governor-elect George
M. Leader met with the group
that was to do the study shortly
before New Years, Dr. Brewster
said. John M, Fine, then gover
nor, cooperated, he added, and
“sent out directives to the depart
ments” asking them to extend
their courtesy to the new set up.
Dr. Brewster was assigned to the
Department of Labor and Indus
try. _
Eng Council
Rents Model
Of Reactor
A motion tx allot $3O for the
rental of a model atomic reactor
for the open house of the College
of Engineering and Architecture
has been passed unanimously by
the Engineering Student Council.
The motion was proposed at an
earlier meeting but was shelved
because dimensions and transpor
tation costs of the reactor were
not known. At the meeting Eric
Walker, dean of the College of
Engineering and Architecture,
said that the college would pay
for the transportation cost. The
model reactor is located in Oak
Ridge, Tenn., and would cost ap
proximately SSS to have it trans
ported to the University.
The model is to be located in
the lobby of the Electrical Engi
neering Building on April 23,
which is the date of the college’s
open house.
This year’s open house will in
clude all th>. colleg-j or. campus
with the possible exception of the
College of Mineral Industries
which may hold its open house
later.
The annual mixer held by the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture will cake place on March
16 at the Hetzel Union Building.
Each of the departments in the
college will Jut on a five to ten
minute skit. ,
Fink Resigns
AFL Office
George Fink, president of Local
67 American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees

Fink, A Republican candidate

entanglements’* to interfere with
his campaign.
Warren Vantine, vice president,
is now acting president.
Fink said he had “no objection”
to the University's acceptance of
the report on working relation
ships handed down by a three
man grievance panel.
Kenneth Dixon, president of
Local 417 Building Service Em
ployees International (AFL), said
he was pleased with the Univer

Contacts Bureau Heads
He contacted David Walker,
then secretary of the department,
and also spoke to various people
with the idea, he pointed out, of
studying the office, not the office
holder.
Of the IS boards and commis
sions in the department, Dr. Brew
ster was able to contact all but
one. He talked to bureau chiefs
and the division heads. A written
report was turned in to Governor
Leader at the second meeting
held soon after his inauguration,
Dr. Brewster said.
The government received from
the study “a quick and effective
analysis” with a series of work
reports, he said: Governor Leader
now has the "device to give mo
mentum to drive to make some
needed changes.”
Competent People
He was impressed by the large
number of competent people in
the government, especially among
the ranks of the older groups that
really had a desire to do some
thing, he said. The problem lies,
he pointed out, m obtaining
younger people for the govern
ment jobs.
“We have to move first on the
personnel angle, but we are not
ready to call for a complete merit
system” in the selection of gov
ernment personnel, he said. Of
the 60 per cent not now covered
by the merit system, the first to
come under such a system should
be “those with quasi-judicial func
tion,” he added. The remaining
should stay under the “personal
reference system" but the bureau
head should be given a chance to
interview the applicant, he stated.
“We don't know what will come
out of it," Dr. Brewster said;
“Pennsylvania is now looking in
the direction she should have
looked a long time ago.”
Cooler Weather
Seen for Today
The “spring fever" weather that
was present on campus yesterday
is expected to leave today. Cloudy

versity Weather station.
Today’s high is' expected to be
in the low 40’s. The low is forecast

MISS SUZY SHAFER, Alpha Draper XI Olay, Jo*?
The other night I went to n*y retoucher's house with ths Intention of
taking some Candida of her little daughter Sue, So teething like * bus
mans holiday. Portraits of Sue taken ill the studio never seemed to look
like her anyway. She always looked her best when sneaking out of the
crib to see who's visiting. Well, this time I took along a 8 week old
kitten as some sort of a prop while the camera and flash were being set
up. I was trying to introduce the kitten to Susy. All of a sudden there
was a flash as Susy’s father Jim aeoidenUy tripped the camera. We
developed that negative for kieks and the above was the outcome. Mow
everyone knows that Susy is a kitten kisser.
On my trip to New York a week or so ago I stopped for a red light in
Hamburg and' a bitch hiker asked if he might come along. As he openod
the door 8 of his friends coming out of nowhere climbed into the back
seat. Anyway, I don't know if they heard me mention something about
what the score might be, but they were repeatedly heard mumbling the
word “Copacabana” in their Bleep. Anyway, they turned out to be ATO’a
heading in the direction of the Ckmaeabana. When I dropped them off In
New York City at 8 a.m. I still didn't find out what the scoop was until
1 started back from Now York. I was driving along 34th Street going
toward the Lincoln Tunnel around B;30 p.m. when I noticed 4 not too
steady thumbs pointed toward State College. Can you Imagine their
optimism that is, hitching a ride that late and expecting to make their
8 o'eiocks the next morning 1 Well, anyway one guy was clutching some
thing in his hand that filled the ear with the scent of the most beady
perfume. Now, the list of this true story, which would normally be con
tinued at this point, has to be stopped. Wateon Lease, ATO’s President
paid us a visit yesterday and when he heard that I intended to tell you
about a trip which 4 of his brtohers made to the Copheaban, ha made
one thing quite elear; namely, that we stood a better than excellent
chance of not doing the ATO composite next year if we mentioned the
procured item. O.K. Watson, you win, hut how do you know it's authentic T
Come to think of it, did you get rid of your old social chairman yet?
