interested and the time and place
of the first meeting.
John Sedam, freshman in the
Division of Counseling from
Marysville, called the exposition
"a very good idea" and said he
had found some activities he
otherwise would not have known
about. -
Other comments from partici
pants included suggestions that,
each organization have a repre
sentative there at all times to
prevent "overselling" of any one
activity.
- All seemed to think the expo
sition was "very worthwhile" but
many persons said they believe
that there should have been bet
ter publicized.
The nineteen tables represented
the nine colleges, athletics, pub
lications, dramatics and .forensics,,

100 Years
Of Records
Microfilmed
The University has microfilmed
approximately 220,000 records of
former students dating from the
first freshman class through Aug
ust of 1955.
The purpose of the project was
2-fold. It provided' duplicates of.
records to eliminate the danger
of loss in case the building where
they were stored was destroyed.
It also provided a way to store
the duplicates in the smallest
possible amount of time.
No Major Disaster
Although the University has
never had a major fire or disaster
which involved the loss of its rec
ords, officials decided it would
be wise to !lave duplicates of the
student's records stored in another
building. The original records are,
now in Burrowes building, and
the duplicates will be placed in
the archive vault in the basement
of the Fred Lewis Pattee Library.
The microfilmed records are on
100-foot rolls. of film, and have
index cards . placed periodically
through them. A viewer will be
placed in the office of the Dean
of Admissions, in the , event they
ever have to be used.
According to C. 0. Williams,
dean of admissions and registrar,
plan!: have been made to pur
chase a device for reprinting stu
dent records from the micro
filmed copy.
Rented Equipment
The microfilming equipment
;was rented by the department of
purchases, and the work, done by
t a group from offices services di
vision, took seve.ral months to
complete.-
1 Some of the very old records
'are recorded in large bond ledg
ers and could not be filmed with
the equipment which was rented:
it will be sent to the owners of
the equipment to - be filmed sep
arately.
I The University plans to con
itinue the process with all im
portant records in addition to
those of students.

Independent Women
Served by Leonides
All freshman women are automatically members of
Leonides, the independent women's organization, and upper
class women who do not wish to affiliate with a sorority
retain their membership.
A council composed of representatives elected from more
than 20 living units governs
Leonides. Council meetings are
open to 41 members but only the
official representatives or their
alternates may vote.
The purposes of Leonides are
to foster a closer relationship be
tween independent women, to en
sure equal representation in stu
dent government and to provide
better social and athletic oppor
tunities for its members.
Formed in 1943
The organization was formed in
1948 under the direction of Dean
of Women Pearl 0. Weston, who
attended a meeting at Ohio State
University 10 years ago and heard
how the independent women or
ganized there.
Dr. Robert E. Dengler. profes
sor of Greek, suggested the name,
"Leonides," from Greek myth
ology, which means "lion-like"
or "Lady of the Lion."
Leonides is affiliated with the
National Independent Student As
sociation which was organized
after World War I to supply the
"youth of America with educa
tion in group living as well as
book education."
Ranked Tops by NISA
Leonides and the Association of
Independent Men are rated as
two of the foremost independent,
organizations in the nation by;

It's The Same
That's right frosh. The same welcome
mat that was out at Balfour's for your
father is still out for you. And
Crum Jenkins has been keeping it in
place all this time.
You'll also be happy to knO"W that the
prices are no higher than when your
dad bought Balfour jewelry for your
mom—nor is the quality any less.
Balfour is well known on every campus
for fine jewelry. So why not show
that are right in the swing of things
and send to that some one at home a piece of
Penn State jewelry from Balfour.
Balfour is located in the 'A' store.
So come on in and let us show you
what we have. Maybe a ring, only 32.75, or a
sterling bracelet. Then after you have taken some
exams and stayed up a few nights studying
you can come in and buy your class ring: -
But don't wait until then to display your
school emblem—come in now. Well be
glad to meet you and don't forget—
