Final Exam
Issue Goes
To Senate
The final examination exemp
tion issue will go before the Uni
versity Senate at 4:10 p.m. today.
The Senate subcommittee on
the Superior Student met Mon
day with Dr. Wallace E. White,
professor of wood technology.
White proposed at a Senate meet
ing April 4to allow’an instructor
to exempt, if he wishes, any stu
dent with a “E” or better aver
age from the final exam.
Profs' Remain Quiet
Both Dr. White and Dr. Ruth
Ayres, chairman of the subcom
mittee, declined to disclose sub
committee action before the Sen
ate meeting.
Dr. Ayres said that discussion
Ijrior to the full report might mis
ead members of Senate.
Senate failed to take, action on
the recommendation April 5 and
instead, with the approval of Dr.
White, requested that it be con
sidered by the subcommittee.
Dr. White’s proposal would
modify a present mandatory Sen
ate ruling. The ruling now reads:
Old Rule Stated
"No student shall be exempt
from a final examination except
by approval of the head of the
department and the dean of the
college in which the course is
offered.”
Dr. White’s proposed reading
of the rule, originally presented
to the Senate, follows:
“Any student with a “B” aver
age or. better in a course may be
exempt’ from the final examina
tion in that course upon recom
mendation of the instructor.”
Warm Weather
Exhausts Lion
Upon hearing that the unusual
ly warm weather would become
even warmer today,, the Nittany
Lion resignedly put on his sun
glasses, picked up his copy of
The Daily Collegian and retired
to the comparative coolness of
his den.
Unusually exha
efforts in the
He-Man contest
last night (he
collapsed after
running about
25 yards of the
100-yard dash),
the Lion could
hardly make a
state m e n t for
the press today.
. However, in an
swer to the re
porter’s inference
as to his not being in very good
shape as compared with the oth
er contestants, he replied, “After
all. I’m no ordinary He-Man!”
With that, he limped over to
his hammock where he intends;
to spend the rest of the day, well
out of reach of today’s predicted
80 degrees temperature.

week and one-half shortly before!
the spring vacation. All students
and faculty were permitted to
make suggestions.
Some of the suggestions~that

were tennis courts for the wo

and a new bell system for Old

Eight faculty members will visitj
other colleges and universities
this week and next week to look
into their general education pro
grams.
Dr. Howard A. Cutler, coordin
ator for the general education pro
gram, said the purpose of their
visits will be to “help the Uni
versity formulate and offer the
best courses and program pos
sible.”
To Visit Colleges
Among the schools .they will
visit are the University of Florida,
Florida State, North Carolina
State University, the University
of Chicago, the University of
Michigan, the University of Min
nesota and Brown University.
Several television outlets and
art institutes in New York will;
also be viisted for a look at new
teaching materials. -
The general education program!
will be initiated next fall when!
three courses will be offered on a
pilot basis. ‘ . I
Puroose of Courses I
Dr. Cutler said the purpose of:
the courses is to give students in
specialized fields such as engi
neering a broader background
in arts, humanities and social
sciences.
The plan for the program grew

Hours 'Moved Up'
For Frosh Coeds
Last night was “move-up night”
fo- freshman women’s hours.
Effective from tonight, fresh
men women will have sophomore
hours.
This allows freshman women
two 1 o’clocks on weekends in
stead of an interchangeable 11
o’clock and 1 o’clock.
Weekday hours for freshman
women will now be 10 pun. in
stead .of 9:15 p.m. They will be
required to sign in and out with
their hostesses only on week
ends.

• Naugle said the House Repub
lican caucus would probably act
on the issue behind closed doors
next week, adding:
* “I don’t see how these mem
bers are going to put themselves
on the spot with their people back
home knowing that the governor
would simply veto the bill.”
The Senate barely passed the
measure last night' despite an
about-face by the governor against
the plan in its entirety.
Other Developments
Other legislative developments:
Pardon Board Probe—A legisla
tive committee investigating the
state Pardon Board wound up a
three-month probe today that ran
into 3,000 pages of testimony.

Gift Suggestions
A book collection for the Li
brary would mean that the
$lO,OOO would be used to purchase
a special collection or to augment
a particular collection already at
the Library. Joseph Hartnett,
class president, said that Library
'officials would be contacted as
;to its needs.
i 'Valley' Being Planned
I The Stone Valley project has
'been put into the planning stages
'this year to provide swimming
'and recreation facilities for ad
ministration and students. The
I money would be used to help con
struct a dam for a lake or build
cabins or other facilities."
The Chapel would use the
money to provide for one special
furnishing rather than general
construction. Beard members felt
that in this way the class gift
would remain distinctive.
The photostat machines would
cost approximately $3OO or more.
They would be self-service and
students could use them to photo
stat pages of books or magazines.
Individual cost to students using
the machines would be approxi
mately two-an-one-half cents a
sheet.
Would Be in Library
The machines would be placed
in the Library for conveniece
only and could be used by stu
dents for other projects.
Accord ing to administrative
sources, plans for the proposed
School of the Arts building, to be
located between the Home Eco
nomics South Building and Ath
erton Hall, have been drawn up.
The class gift would be used to
provide for the building of an art
gallery, an auditorium or a thea
ter.
Seniors will vote on the sug
gestions when they pick up their!
copies of La Vie at the Card room
in the Hetzel Union Building.
This date has not yet been set.
Its final action was to clear
Frank Hean, board secretary, of a
charge by a Philadelphia woman
that she paid Hean $5O to inter

The committee was expected
to make a report before the Leg
islature adjourned.
GOP Position
Legislative Program—Republi
can legislative leaders came out
with a lawmaking program re
newing the GOP position of hold
ing the line on new taxes.
The program was made public
on the eve of their meeting to
morrow with the governor who,
coincidentally, released a legis
lative program listing what he
termed “10 points for the people.”

Machines To
Invade 'Den'
In Summer
Automatic vending machines—
similar to the ones now situated
in the Waring Hall snackbar
will be placed in the Lion’s Den
of the Hetzel Union Building for
the summer months.
Ossian R. MacKenzie, vice pres
ident of the University for busi
ness administration, said the
move was an "economy mea
sure.”
He stressed that they will be
removed before students return
to the campus in the fall.
"To Reduce Costs'
MacKenzie said the main oper
the move was “to reduce opera
tion costs during the summer
when the majority of the stu
dents aren’t on campus.”
The Departmen of Food Ser
vice, which proposed the installa
tion of machines, according to
MacKenzie, had no further in
formation at this time. A spokes
man for the. office said further
details as to the type of ma
chines will be announced later.
1 Machine Kay Stay
MacKenzie said there is a pos
sibility that a coffee machine
would be kept there when the
other machines are taken out.
The machine, he stressed, would
not replace the present coffee op
erations but would be used to
help alleviate the long lines for
coffee.
The operation of the vending
machines, he said, would be sim
ilar to that now used in Waring
Hall. The University leases the
machines from a private company
and sells to the company much
of the food used in the machines.
MaceKnzie said the main oper
ation saving will come from de
creased number of employes.

$5570 Grossed
From Carnival
Total gross receipts from Tues
day night’s Spring Week carnival
amounted to $5570, about $470
more than last year’s gross total,
Robert Krakoff, Spring Week
chairman, said yesterday.
The net profit which the Spring
Week committee will be able to
turn over to the Penn, State
Scholarship Fund cannot be de
termined until receipts from the
All-Service Revue and all ex
penses for Spring Week are cal
culated.
The total receipts from carni
val show ticket sales amounted
to $3315; food concessions, $1217;
and rides, $1036.
The Spring Week committee
receives a percentage of the food
concession and ride receipts.
The show receipts are clear

have been subtracted.
