President Is Contented Man FRASER, Colo Wi—Give Presi dent Eisenhower a trout rod and let him do some cooking too and he’s a real contented man. Well, he’s got the r6d and he’s been catching fish. And he’s also doing a heap of cooking. Tlie President arrived here yes terday morning from the Denver White House for another five days or so of relaxation at the Rocky Mountain ranch of an old friend, investment banker Aksel Nielsen. This is his second visit here since he came to Colorado for a work and-play vacation Aug. 14. An hour and 15 minutes from the time he stepped cut of his car at the ranch, he was wading cold St. Louis Creek, casting a dry fly for the v/ily trout. He passed up having the trout for dinner and decided on fried chicken instead. The word was that he spent more than two hours in the kitchen with a white apron tied around his waist. 5 Students Five students in the Divi sion of Intermediate Registra tion obtained averages above 2.50 for the spring semester, placing them on the Univer sity honor roll or dean’s list. The five were led by Morton Altschuler, junior from Philadel phia, with a perfect 3.00 average. The others were Robert Whit more, junior from Portland, Me., 2.93; John Golgan, sophomore from Tarentum, 2.81; Carole Kni pi". sophomore from Kingston, 2.58: and Roger Panfil, junior from Willow Grove, 2.58. i..e .Division, a special guid ance and counseling unit for stu dents now entering its sixth year, is displaying the largest enroll ment in its history—67o students. Last fall, 511 students were en rolled in the division. 3 Reasons for Entering Students entering the division do so for one of three reasons. It assists those in doubt as to a curriculum choice, those wishing to char re from one major to an other but lacking the academic ilure of one of the tubes in the in five minutes, Raleigh said- The other was from Simmons and the interference was remedied when the plug at the wall outlet was reversed, Raleigh added. Transmitters Change Signals The five transmiters change the FM station signals to AM signals and are located in Waring Hall, McAllister Hall, Atherton Hall, Woman’s Building, and McElwain Hall. The transponder in McEl wain Hall serves that hall and Simmons Hall, and the one in Waring Hall serves the West Dorm area. Monday night marked the in auguration of four of the trans mitters. The unit in Waring Hall was in use last semester. 65 on the Dial The station can be found on the radio dial and broadcasts music, news, and special events daily from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The first in a series of three programs on the 1955 student encampment at Mont Alto will be broadcast from 7:30 to 8 tonight. The pro gram will be composed of tapes made at encampment and tonight the opening speech made by Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, president of the University, at encampment will be broadcast. Raleigh issued a call for stu dents interested in making up a staff of dormitory reporters to sign up in 306 Sparks, the station office. The reporters would lis ten to the station in the dormitor ies and report any trouble in the transmission. Reception Difficulty Much of the reception difficulty in the dormitories now serviced by the AM transmitters can be improved by the students them selves, he said. The reversing of the wall plug and such things as flourescent study lamps, _ electric razors, and other electrical ap pliances, he said, can cause inter ference in the small household sets which students use. Raleigh continued by explain ing that the reversing of the plug at the wall outlet is a frequent cause of static in a radio, as it was to the students in Simmons Hall Monday night. The station is under a consid erable handicap in that the radio waves must come in through power lines instead of antennas, he said. Democrat Speaks on Tax HARRISBURG Iff) Speaker Andrews t'D-Cambria) said today the State Supreme Court should be given an opportunity to determine the constitutionality of his proposal for a state tax on the amount a Pennsylvanian pays on his federal income tax return; "It’s constitutional as far as I’m concerned until the Supreme Court says otherwise,” he told a news man. in DIR Earn record to qualify, and students experiencing other problems leading to scholastic difficulties. The most widely known factor to students concerning DIR is the University ruling that anyone whose all - University average drops below .50 must drop out of his college into the Division. However, many students just want to be guided in finding a curriculum to suit them, learning how to study, or finding answers to a host of scholastic problems. DIR counselors find that some may seek help for a semester or two, although they sport good av erages, Harold K. Wilson, direc tor, said. 4595 More Enrolled In summing up DlR’s activities, Wilson said that 4595 students have been enrolled in the pro gram during its five-year span. Of this number, 3619, or approxi mately 79 per cent, later qualified for transfer to the curriculum of their choice, or withdrew from the University. Voluntary withdrawals of 333 from DIR totaled seven per cent. The renv'ining 21 per c.'nt v ere dropped for scholastic reasons. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA 125 Attend ’ 4th Annual Encampment (Continued from page two) campus parking included explor ing the possibilities and practic abilities “of levying fees for pres ent parking area on students and possibly faculty and employes” and the construction erf cinder parking lots. Discussing judicial bodies, the group recommended “restricted hours for male undergraduate students” as judicial punishment. One of the biggest problems facing the committee on student organizations was Campus Chest, the University’s community chest. ■ Besides suggesting better pro motion, the group proposed the establishment of a policy-making board, consisting of groups rep resented by Campus Chest. Also, it was recommended that “reconsideration be given” to the withdrawal of the three religious groups, the University Christian Association, Newman Club, and Hillel Foundation. The communication commit tee discussed problems ranging from the shortage of writers on Froth, campus humor maga zine. to the space limitations of campus radio station WDFM. In a major recommendation, the committee went on record as favoring a campus magazine which would: (1) “Serve as an outlet for literary works of stu dents and faculty; (2) be distri buted on campus . . . and event ually off the campus of the Uni versity; (3) be subsidized by stu dent groups and the University until it is financially sound; and (4) be aimed at cultivating an appreciation for carrying illustra tions and articles about culture, music, theatre, literature, fiction, and non-fiction.” First of 3 Mixed Dinners is Planned For Sunday Noon The first of three mixed din ners between students in the West Halls, Nittany and Pollock dorm itories and McAllister Hall will be held at noon Sunday. Women from McAllister and the second floor of Thompson Hall will eat with one-third of the men in the Nittany-Pollock area. The rest of the women from Thompson will eat with one-third of the men in the remaining West Halls. The results of the first dinners on Sunday, which are sponsored by the Association of Independent Men and Women’s Student Gov ernment Association, will deter mine the handling of the remain ing two dinners. The ratio of one woman to three men has been solved by only allowing one-third of the men in the dormitories to dine with the women, according to_ Harry Leo pold and Priscilla Kepner, chair men of the dining program. Men are required to wear coats and ties and women regular Sun day dress. Dean's List Wilson said that this fall’s en rollment of 670 is the basis for the largest yearly enrollment in DIR to date. Last year’s enroll ment was 1012. Within a few days, he said, students will prob ably start seeking the DIR office on the fourth floor of Old Main. Dispelling a student belief that averages of students completing semesters in regular colleges after a stay in DIR are not much beter than before they went in the Division, Wilson detailed these figures: Before entering DIR, students’ averages averaged .51. While in DIR, they averaged 1.42 and after leaving the Division, they upped their joint scholastic to 1.50. The figures are based on a study of 581 graduates of DIR. Not all students wishing to en ter the unit can do so, Wilson ex plained. Everyone is thoroughly screened and some are refused entry because it is believed they would not benefit from the coun seling of the Division’s counse lors. Some are deemed too imma ture or too young to participate in the program. Figures Dispell Belief 107 •in * Ag Col lege Achieve Dean's List A total of 107 students in the College of Agriculture have been named to the Dean’s List for the Spring Semester.
