the show was a success.

Spring Weekend rain turned the University stable grounds
into a river of mud, but riders from three schools donned

ing gallery this week. A photo

ary theater in the United States
will be on display until Friday.

scope and variety over the last
five years,
The display will give students
an oppoitunity to compare Broad

tions from different colleges and
universities
The display gives eight vital
facets of the modern theater.
These are• Broadway, off-Broad

ter and community theater.

tiny braids and tails neatly plait
ed, obediently pranced around the
ring—splattering their riders with
orange mud at every step.
Mary Jane Whelen, freshman
in arts and letters from Narberth,
riding her grey Anglo-Arab, Im
pulse, accumulated the most
points to win the jumper division
championship. She placed first in
the jumper stake, second in the
warm-up jumping class and fourth
in obstacle jumping, to gain nine
points.
A tie for the reserve champion
ship between Judi Scattergood,
senior in general agriculture from
West Chester, and Emily Katz,
freshman in animal husbandry
from White Plains, N.Y., each
with seven points, went to Miss
Katz by the flip of a coin rather
than prolong the "ordeal of the
mud."
The hunter division champion
ship was won by Sally Liversidge
from Penn Hall Junior College,
Chambersburg, with 13 points.
Mimi Jennings of Grier School,
Tyrone, took the reserve trophy
with eight points.
Riders and on-lookers found
some diversion in the inevitable
accidents brought on by soggy
show grounds. A jumper from
Grier School was pitched head
long into the mud when her horse
slipped coming out of a jump. But
even the layer of slime covering
face, hair and clothes couldn't
,hold back her wry grin.
The few spectators who stood
around the rail in the steady driz
zle could only take it with a smile
when a high spirited horse kicked
up his heels—covering everyone
in the vicinity with mud.

Finds Home
At SAM
Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity has
pledged Michael Simon, a Hun
garian refugee who fled to Ameri
ca in January 1957, and came to
Penn State a student "without
a home" a year ago.
Simon, a junior in electrical en
gineering, was given special per
mission by the Interfraternity
Council Board of Control to
pledge the fraternity. He did not
have the required 2.0 All-Uni
versity average.
George Wills, chairman of the
board, said the exception was
made because, although Simon
has mastered four foreign lan
guages, he is having trouble
with English and courses relat
ed to ifs use. He is doing very
well in his technical courses,
he said.
_. r,
Sigma Alpha Mu received na
tional approval to pledge Simon
and the ceremony was held Mon
day night. Simon entered the
University in the spring semester,
1957, and moved into the house
at the beginning of the fall se
mester, 1957.
Simon is boarded free of charge
by the fraternity whose members
wished to give Simon a "feeling
of belonging" after he left his
family and home in Hungary, past
president Lawrence Jacobson
said.

Show
Three Curricula
Offer TV Work
Cameras and other equipment
used in the closed-circuit tele
vision education programs are
being used for the first time
this semester to provide instruc
tion in theatre arts, journalism
and speech.
In the new theatre arts courses,
students are learning the acting,
directing, lighting and make-up
techniques peculiar to television.
It is pointed out that television
acting is done on a much smaller
scale than acting on the stage
and the actors are limited to a
smaller area, „.
Journalism studerfts are taught
the special techniques of writing,
editing and delivering television
news programs and also the use
of television as an advertising
media.
Speech students interested in
mastering television techniques
are gaining practical experience
in front of the video cameras.

School Improvement
Cited by Ed Dean
Dr. John R. Rackley, dean of the College of Education,
said America's public schools, as a whole, are in better shape
today than they have been at any time in the past.
Improvement in the preparation of teachers alone, he
said, would account for a general advance in the educational
pattern.
"In practically all states, bach
elor's degrees are now required
for standard teaching certificates
and in many states and local com
munities master's degrees are en
couraged by pay raises and other
inducements," Rackley said.
Acknowledging charges that the
educational system is "too broad"
today, Rackley said the schools
must offer wide-ranging programs
to meet the continually expanding
needs of society. He defended vo
cational education as an essential
part of a school system.
Various subjects, such as music,
art and physical education, ear
marked as "fads and frills" by
some critics, are not "fads and
frills" at all, in his opinion, but
are a vital part of a student's
education.
In conclusion, Rackley pro
posed a healthy, creative partner
ship between the general citizen
ry and the professional staffs of
our schools on the grounds that
such cooperation was essential to
continued success, not only as in
dividuals but also as a nation.
