INTERVIEWS ON CAMPUS APRIL 22 and 23 For information inquire at 112 Old Main THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Film Begins 'Freedom' Observance The University's first Academic Freedom program will get under way at 7:30 tonight with the. showing of a movie about a Ger man professor who was suppress ed by the Nazis. • The film, First Seize His Books," will be shown in the Hetzel Union assembly hall. Dr. F. J. Sorauf,, instructor in political science, will lead a dis cussion following the film, which is being co-sponsored by the As sociation of Independent Men and the University Christian fireside committee. Academic freedom, which has never been clearly defined to the satisfaction of all educators is a controversial subject especially where communistic and socialistic tendencies are in question. How ever, it is popularly believed to mean freedom for professors and students to discuss all sides of issues and be able to state their own preferences without fear of being criticized. Academic free dom does not alloW an individual to advocate one belief or plead adherence to one idea. Barbara Foss, chairman of the Academic Freedom Committee set up by All-University Cabinet, said there would be a radio panel next week in connection with the freedom program. Miss Foss said the program was to have been in the form of a "week," but because of conflicts the activities had to be spread out over a longer period of time. Miss Foss said Academic Free dom Week is a project suggested by the National Student Associa tion and will be observed as an annual event. Institute to Hear ASCAP Attorney Herman Finklestein, general at torney for the American Society of Composer, Authors, and Pub lishers, will speak at the eighth annual Radio and Television In stitute at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the Hetzel Union assembly hall.

All groups must be cleared through J. F. Fishburn, conference co-ordinator, in 108 Old Main before they may sched ule a function. Parties, teas, banquets, and oth er entertainments may be held Miss Baker said. The private din ing rooms off the Terrace Room are used for most of these func tions. However, parties of over 250 are held in the ball room, Miss Baker added. Dieticians are available to help the groups plan menus and other details. The catering service is complete with all the facilities. Library May Be Open Until 11 During Finals Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, said he will defi nitely look into the possibility of Pattee Library remaining open until 11 p.m. during the final examination period, ac cording to Earl Seely, All-University president. Seely said he talked to McComb after All-University Cabinet passed a recommendation suggesting that the library remain open later during finals. Seely said that the library will have to consider if students will take advantage of the later hours, and if the staff is willing to work the extra hours. The work load will also have to be coordinated, Seely reported. No Change on Saturdays McComb had explained earlier that due to expenses it was not feasible to hold the library optin until 11 p.m. on Saturday nights, as it now closes at 5 p.m. /low ever, he said it would nOt be as expensive to keep the library open an extra hour during week nights. Watson Leese, Liberal Arts Student Council president, who brought the motion before Cabi net, said since coeds had 11 o'- clock permissions during finals, he felt the library should be open until this time. No Door 'Chocking A system of door checking which was reported to go into effect at the Pattee Library in the near future, will not be used' un less the situation of books miss ing from the library becomec crit ical, McComb has also announced. The library is now using instead a system of closer checking on control points such asithe reading rooms and the open shelf area. Setting up a system of guards titationed at each entrance of the library would mean an addition of personnel, thus making the pro posed plan rather expensive, Mc- Comb said. McComb felt that most of the I loss and mutilation of books and periodicals is from the open shelf departments. This problem might result in doing away with the open shelf department if this loss and mutilation continues, he said. ACEI to Hold Carnival The Association of Childhood Education International will spon sor an Education Carnival at 7 tonight in the Recreation Room and Lounge of Atherton Hall. All schools in the College or Education plus the Child Develop ment department will present displays and give demonstrations of their department highlights.
