Otto E. Mueller, director_ of housing, said that although in some cases three students are sharing dormitory rooms that usually hold two, the overcrowded situation .has been greatly re lieved. Relocations are being 'made as rapidly as new openings are pro vided, he said. At the same time, the depart ment of housing is contacting students who are temporarily liv ing in town, but who have made space reservations in dormitory units. These students include persons who made prior reservations but were forced to secure temporary rooms in town until space is available. Mueller said space still is avail able, in Pollock 5 for graduate students who desire to live on campus.

' .wer to this question is on display in the window of the old Federal Association at 106 W. College Ave. The display, entitled "State College 1957," was designed and constructed by senior architecture students as a classroom project last spring. Included in this forecast of the future of the State College down town area are the creation of a park and walkway replacing South Allen Street from College Avenue to Beaver Avenue, a four story parking lot on the corner of College Avenue and Frazier Street, and roof parking from Calder Alley to Beaver Street be tween Allen Street and Frazier Street. The park would contain side walks providing access to the stores on either side of the pre sent Allen Street. In the center would be a landscaped area. Cal der Alley traffic would be di verted over the park by means of an overpass. The idea for the window dis play was initiated last spring at a meeting of the borough Com mittee for Community Plan ning, according to Eugene M. Fulmer, executive secretary of the State College Area Cham ber of Commerce. At this meeting, Dr. Albert Christ-Janer, director of the school of arts, suggested that .(uch a .display be installed. The display was placed in the window last week. Fulmer said the display was valuable because it would stimu late thinking about redevelop ment. Although the ideas may not be used as they are, he said, they should tend to crystallize ideas now in the minds of merchants about downtown planning. In addition, once-the germ of downtown planning is planted, it might spread to the residen tial areas, according to Fulmer. This would make the Univer sity more attractive. of prospec tive students. The students who prepared the project also gained, Fulmer said, because they received invaluable practical experience in civic plan- Fulmer said a similar project was prepared by students a few , years ago on the subject of an area swimming pool. Although no concrete action has been taken I yet on this plan, all - the ideas advanced showed promise, he said. b will meet in 109 Bou- Orientation Counselors The Women's Orientation Pro- I gram Counselors will meet at 10 'tonight in McElwain lounge.

NSYLVANIA 208 Students Enroll For General Ed The new general education program got off to a "MO per cent" start as 208 students filled all of the sections of Arts I; Humanities I and Social Science I. The program—which has been in the planning for two years —is designed to give students in specialized fields a broader background in the arts and hu manities, as well as the social. biological and physical sciences. Biological Science I will be of fered in the spring semester for the first time. The make-up and date for offering a course in the physical sciences has not yet been determined. Humanities I and II introduce to the student an appreciation and analysis of the human values of truth, goodness and beauty, and an understanding of the ideas which have shaped the modern mind and contemporary civiliza tion. There are three sections of Humanities I, with a total en rollment of 92. Humanities I will be repeated in the spring semester, and the follow-up obtuse. Humanities 11. will be offered then, too. In two sections of Social Sci ence 1, 32 students will analyze intensively two critical social in cidents—the Supreme Court deci sion on racial segregation and the stock market crash of 1929. - Social Science I and II will both be offered in the spring semes ter. Students in Arts I will attempt to find answers to the question, "What is art?" Since the instruc tors of the course have assumed that the students have had little experience in the arts, they will employ demonstration and per formance techniques rather than the conventional textbook and lecture method. To achieve this aim. the Arts I classes are held in the Little Theatre in Old Main, where the students will .see scenes from ' plays and live performances of musk. - Biological Sciences I and II will cover the nature of living things, characteristics of living units, structural levels of organization, comparative physiology and a sur vey of living organisms. Planning of the general educa tion program has been under the direction of Dr. Howard A. Cut ler, 'head of the Department of Economics. The various commit tees were headed by Dr. Winston R. Weisman, assistant professor of history of art • and architec ture, Arts I and II; Dr. Henry A. Finch, professor of philosophy, the Humanities; Dr. Paul M. Alt house, professor of agriculture and biological chemistry, the Bio logical Sciences; and Cutler, the Social Sciences. The courses are open to stu dents as electives.

It's something new for T.V. com mercials. The words in the ad are, lightly flashed on the screen while the show is going on. The psychiatrists are en thusiastic about it, pa tents have been applied for and it's for real. But, until the era of the invisible word is upon us we'll still appreciate the little sign in Ethel's window that reads: Please Browse Around TWEED WEEDS Vogue says . . .
