PAGE FOUR Editorials At Least the Goal's Good Student leaders are often su concerned over Penn State's academic atmosphere deficiency that they seem to forget its obligation as the land-grant college and state uniVersity of the Commonwealth. President Eric A. Walker, in defining this obligation, says Penn State is expected "to provide a sound, rigorous university training for all Pennsylvania youth who want it and who are capable of profiting from it." He goes on: 'Vie cannot do it by limiting our enrollment to the upper 10 par cent of the population in intelligence, as many seem to think we should. "We can do it only by divising an educational system within which each boy and girl can realize his full po tential, a system that will challenge each individual to reach his fullest development." All-University Cabinet has approved a Student Encamp- Ment recommendation that the University admissions policies be studied. They are to be studied, Cabinet asks, with special emphasis on the possibilities of requiring scholastic aptitude tests for students who apply for admission It is easy to see what the Encampment Academic Atmosphere workshop. which made the recommenda tion, and Cabinet, which approved it, are trying to do: attain a better academic atmosphere by making it more difficult for students to get into Penn State. Now we will be the first to admit there is need for im provement in the University's atmosphere for learning. seeking the truth. However, we cannot take just the top 10 per cent—the cream of the crop—in this age of specialization. Society needs laboratory technicians and draftsmen as well as chemists and engineers. And we cannot expect the same scholastic aptitudes from them. Student leaders should be concerned about improving Penn State's academic atmosphere, but they must not forget the University's obligation to society. 'isolating' Students The Liberal Arts faculty has taken the initiative on an idea which we hope will spread to all colleges. It has endorsed the idea of an inter-departmental stu dent honors program—a step toward the "isolation" of the superior student. This program would provide the waiving of gradua tion credits when necessary to provide for desirable honors work. Students with averages of 3.5 and above would graduate "with Honors," "with High Honors" or "with Highest Honors" and the degree of honors award would be noted on the diploma of each student. The proposed diploma notation, however, must receive the approval of the Uni versity. Senate. The purpose of the one under study is to free the better student from routine course work, allow him to work independently and with students of his level. Although several departments now use an honors pro gram there is no standard one for college-wide use. Since the educational structure is being adapted more and more to the needs of the "average" student, there is a definite need for a special program for the "better" student."

Steel Hearings Set by Senate WASHINGTON. Oct. 25 R)— The Senate antitrust subcommit tee plans new hearings on the steel industry next week with emphasis on companies which hare pioneer ed new steelmaking techniques. Chairman Kefauver (D-Tenn.), in announcing this today, said on Tuesday the subcommittee will take testimony from officials of the Koppers Co. on the continu ous casting process. Kefauver said "new techniques are of interest to the subcommit te because they may •hold the promise of reducing the amount of capital required to produce steel: - "In this way they make possible the entrance of newcomers into the industry which will tend to stimulate competition."
