Women Must Plan
Full Education-Morse
Adrian 0. Morse, provost, urged last night that women
t. ry to meet their difficult educational requirements by begin
ning now to make a plan for a total education that "takes in
a full and generous life."
Morse made these comments last night at a meeting dur
ing which he and President Milton S. Eisenhower were in-
stalled as honorary members of
Phi Chi Theta, women's profes
sional business fraternity.
"The circumstances under which
women will use their educational
powers differs widely from those
in which men will use theirs,"
Monte continued. "Most men will
follow one vocation throughout
life," he said, "but women will
'follow one of several paths."
The physical, biological, and so
cial sciences and the humanities
are the .foundation of this plan,
Ihe said.
"The world in which we live is
made up of all four categories,"
'he said, "and none of us can be
ignorant of any of these divisions
of basic knowledge."
Learning to study independent
ly is the first objective of this
plan of education, Morse said.
"One of our weaknesses," he
pointed out, "Is dependence on the
instructor and on work in class

Physical Plant
Starts Annual
Spring Cleanup
"Operation Spring Cleanup" is
now underway by the landscape
and grounds division of Physical
Plant.
Workmen have been engaged
for the past several weeks in
general cleanup in preparation
for main spring jobs—reseeding
of lawns 'and pruning and spray
ing of trees and shrubbery.
Pruning to Begin
Pruning and spraying is ex
pected to get underway about
April 1, according to Walter W.
Trainer, supervisor of the Physi
cal Plant division.
Workmen have been placing
decayed oak saw dust, some of
which is about 40 years old,
around campus shrubbery.
Saw dust serves as a humus
by retaining ground moisture and
keeping the. plant's roots cool, It
also serves to retard weed growth,
Trainer said.
The saw dust is obtained by
the University from saw mills on
Bald Eagle Mountain.
The other jobs on the cleanup
include sweeping walks and roads
to remove cinders and other ma
terial used for icy conditions and
removing dead branches from
trees.
Trainer said his division will
be on a close look out for sighs
of the Dutch Elm disease, which
caused an "epidemic" two years
ago among campus trees. Last
year, however, only one tree was
infected with the disease.

and the failure of the student to
put suffiicent effort and care on
the subject itself."
As a second objective, Morse
urged broadening and deepening
of education by planned reading.
Morse suggested that women
student catalogue those subjects
they would have liked to take in
college and plan to fill in those
omissions by, night classes, cor
respondence courses, lectures, con
certs, or television courses.

Dr. Eisenhower, who introduced
Morse to the group, saki that the
U.S. government has selected
Morse to become cultural affairs
officer in one of the most difficult
spots in the world, India.
Under him would be four other
cultural attaches to develop un
derstanding that would promote
a cooperation between the coun
tries on which a, more abiding
peace could be built, Dr. Eisen
hower said.
