THE DAILY OLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA 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. ; 'Farmer' Subscriptions iTo Be Sold Next Week 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."
