Vaccine Supply To Be Limited A very limited supply of Salk 1 jKili« vaccine will be available toj University students until some- 1 lime next month, according to Dr. 1 Herbert R. Glenn, director of the Health Service. Shots will be given as usual un- 1 til the current supply runs out. Dr. Glenn said the temporary shortage is due to a cut-back in production by the four largest companies producing the serum. Full production has been re sumed. but since 52 days are needed to process a single batch of vaccine, delivery of the serum will be-delayed. Educational institutions, includ ing the University, will receive priority in the first shipments. 7 Promoted by CoUegt Seven students have been pro moted to the junior editorial board of The Daily Collegian. They are Richard Drayne, Pa tricia Earley, Mary Kelly, Dennis Kfslick. Ralph Manna. Michael Maxwell and Leslie Powell. I THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Fifth Program The make-up of a possible fifth program, in the physical sciences, has not been determined. Some of the University’s or ganizational directives for'a gen eral education program, as out lined in a letter of December 1956 to members of the planning com mittees, are as follows: • Flexibility in conception and administration. •Vertical rather than horizon-; tal structure, in order to parallel work, in professional, technical and special education throughout the entire undergraduate career rather than cramming it into the. first two years. • A program of comprehensive Itests to judge proficiency and de-‘ l (Continued on page five) STATE I=3 Nowi 2:10, 3:56. 5:42. 7:38, 9:27 THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN News - Cartoon WMAJ 1450 VVmMJ Oit your Dial tncMhf —_ Sto Os Morcrnj Show Morsics Deration^ Morning Show Robert goileigb Cecil Brown Classic*) Interlude — New* _ Mosle for L&tening A Womw'a Decision - Queen for *.

The committee asked for infor i matron about how the flash card| systems at these universities are organized, how many students participate in them, how these students are selected and whether they are members of any particu lar plags. Questions were also asked about whether the flash card program is a recognized activity, how much prestige it carries among the stu dents and where the flash card section is located in relation to the football field. Location Changes I • Committee members have said !they wish to change the location of the University’s flash card sec tion to the 50-yard line beside the band. Wolcott said he would contact H. R. Gilbert, assistant, athletic director and business manager of the Athletic Association, about this and about obtaining new ’cards. 1 The new cards will be approxi ■ mately 3 feet by 1 % ft. Some will be blue on one side and white on the other, while others will be colored. j NOW STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA 55 California Research Corporation and other Subsidiaries • " • Representatives will be on the campus -fB April 29,1957 April 30,1957 / to interview r (hemisls, Chemical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Melalurgical Engineers, Physicists FOR CAREER EMPLOYMENT in California and other areas t TUESDAY.

The four other finalists in the contest made up the queen’s court. They are Nancy Marches®, sophomore in education, from Bos ton; Betsy Orr, freshman in ap plied art from Tarentum; Nancy Tate, sophomore in home-econom ics from Biglervflle; and Marilynn Turki, freshman in physical edu cation from Canonsburg. Miss Tokar received a loving cup and a bouquet of spring flow ers. Her attendants received smaller bouquets. Charles Speidel, wrestling coach, crowned Miss Tokar in a brief ceremony during intermission of the dance. The cheerleaders have ex pressed a desire to coordinate cheers with the card demonstra tions, but this cannot be worked out until- their co-captains are elected later in the spring. Sally Jervis, chairman of the flash card committee, said she has worked out plans for new pat terns including a lion which, will imove.
