Financial Difficulties Possible If they are unable to meet these committments, they may find it impossible to pay their spring se mester fees. Even if this is not the case, the council continued, a financial hardship would be im posed unnecessarily. The fifth point brought up by the council was that foreign stu dents would be allowed more time to visit in American homes and become acquainted with Ameri can life. Would Aid Foreign Students As few foreign students are able to spend their vacation at home, most go to nearby homes as guests. Both the council and the foreign student - office feel that these con tacts are a valuable part of for eign student education. Students working for a mid year degree would be given a few additional days to complete aca demic objectives, the council said. In conclusion, the council men tioned that Christmas vacation, rather than the between-semes ters break, has been generally ac cepted as the preferred time for a recess.

Union Impresses Representatives gathered on campus to discuss and compare the student union buildings on many campuses. In criticizing the different stu dent unions, it is interesting to hear some of the comments con cerning the HUB. Beauty Draws Comments Hop ition Because these representatives were more or less experts in the field of student unions, they could point out good and bad parts of the building that would normally be over-looked by the average student or visitor. Of course the beauty of the building drew the most comments. This included the front patio and the "expert use" of glass. One representative said that the im portance of the glass is exempli fied by the •view seen from the windows. Several of the student repre sentatives were interested in the operation of the HUB, - whether the faculty or the students did the most of the controlling and planning of the use of the build ing. The third floor of the building drCw a comment from these stu dents also. They praised the ex cellent facilities available for the students in the meeting rooms and student offices. The unusual lighting system re ceived a favorable comment. It was said to be very attractive as, well as filling the needs for an, effective lighting system. A different remark concerning the HUB was the "quietness" of , the building on the main floor which encouraged studying in the lounges. This point was not found in many of the other student un ions on the other campuses. Useful Layout Lauded The many uses of the HUB re ceived praise. That includes every thing from bridge luncheons to campus dances. Everyone lauded the useful lay out and central location of the buildirig. About the only derogatory com ment on the HUB was expressed indirectly. It came from a former University student who is now attending LaSalle college. Student Effect Questioned This student had attended the University before the Hetzel Un ion Building had been completed. He questioned the good effect that the building has on the stu dents. That is, whether it was in competition with their study habits or not. 'Some of the represented univer sities and colleges are now in the process of planning or building their student union buildings and their representatives to this con vention- will use the HUB as a source of ideas for their own stu dent union buildings.

Panofsky, professor of meteorology. in a research project on atmospheric turbulence sponsored by the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force is interested in the research because of the effect of wind movements on the riding qualities of air craft, Dr. Panofsky explains. Oth er practical uses to which statisti cal data on wind fluctuations can be applied are in the fields of bridge -and tower construction and of air pollution dispersion. Measures From Towers Dr. Panofsky, who has been working on related phases of this subject since 1951, takes measure ments on wind fluctuations from towers. He observes wind gusts from slightly above ground level to heights of about 400 feet. He measures both vertical and hori zontal wind fluctuations The basic purpose of the study is the prediction of the character of gusts from easily available data such as average wind speed. temperatures and roughness of terrain. . Air Movement Studied Another U.S. Air Force re search project on which Panofsky is working also deals with air movements. He is trying to deter kpmine the effect of vertical move eirts• of air on weather condi tions to help improve the accur acy of weather forecasts. At pre sent , forecasts are determined mainly by measuring the horizon tal movements of air, although at present large-scale vertical mo tion is being forecast by a group of scientists in Maryland working with electronic computers. Panofsky has found that fore casts of vertical air movements alone are not helpful, but when combined with data on the mois ture of the atmosphere some ac curate conclusions can be reached regarding the probability of pre cipitation. Weather Predicted For instance, he explains, if the atmosphere is dry and the air is descending, there is almost a ,100 per cent probability of clear wea ther. On the other hand, if the air is moist and is ascending, there is a 67 per cent chance of rain. The Penn State scientist makes extensive use of local and na tional weather maps and has used material from the National Wea ther Bureau Record Center. He has completed his studies of ver tical air movements in winter and has started working on the effects of up and down air movements on the probability of thunder storms in summer. Hillel Services Announced Sabbath Eve services will be ! held at 8 tonight at Hillel. Rabbi 'Benjamin M. Kahn will officiate. Marines to Mark 181st_Anniversary The University Marine detach ment will celebrate the 181st an niversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps to morrow.
