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.

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.
