ed by the Board of Trustees, would,
he present summer sessions of three,,
would be effective next summer:
The Senate, at its meeting
last week, also approved a
recommendation calling for
the end of the fall semester be
fore the Christmas recess. Thisi
would undoubtedly necessitate an
earlier start for the fall semester
than at present. The fall semes
ter now runs about two weeks in-'
to January.
The two summer programs
running at the same time are•
designed to serve both students
who wish' to accelerate and
graduate in three years and .
those students and other per
sons who want to take only one
or two courses during the sum
mer.
If a student wanted to graduate
in three years, he would attend
the proposed 12-week session, It
he wanted to take several courses,
he could attend only half of the
proposed 12-week session. Stud
ents and teachers desiring to take
fewer courses could attend one of
the present summer sessions.
The Senate favored the addi
tion of the new summer session
over the more true year-round
school proposals of a quarter or
trimester system.
The new 12-week program
supposedly will of fe r more
courses than are presently avail
able in summer school. The Uni
versity plans to do this to make
it more attractive to students to
graduate in three years, there
by attaining fuller use of Uni
versity facilities during a larger
part of the year.
The University Board of Trus
tees is expected to act upon the
Senate proposal either at its meet
ings this week or next month.
The University hopes to include
an expanded summer program in
its proposed budget for the next
biennium, to be submitted to Gov.
George M. Leader in the fall.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
'Big Moose'
Ends Career
For Lion'9'
By VINCE CAROCCI, '5B
The "Big Moose" is no more in
collegiate baseball. Junior Cal
"Moose". Emery, ace of the Penn
State pitching staff, departed
from college baseball circles this
week when he signed a bonus
contract with the Philadelphia
Phillies for an estimated $25,000
to $30,000.
Ironically enough, Emery, who
gained his collegiate fame as a
pitcher, was signed as a first base
man with the Phillies' affiliate in
Bakersfield, Calif. in the Class C
California League. He'll report
sometime this week.
Commenting on his contract,
Emery said: "I will say it was a
good bonus, It had to be or I
wouldn't have left school now. I
like Penn State. I got my break
here, and I wouldn't have minded
at 'all sticking around for another
year." Emery plans, to finish his
education during the off-season.
Coach Joe Bedenk expressed ,
neither surprise nor bitterness at
Emery's signing. Admitting that
he knew all season long that
major league scouts were eying
his southpaw star, Bedenk said:
"When a boy gets that much
money, he'd better sign . . it's
sure not hanging on apple trees."
As far as Emery's signing as a
first baseman, Bedenk again ex
pressed no surprise. He said, we
(Emery and he) figured that if he
was to go in the majors, it would
be as a first baseman—although
he is by far a better-than-average
college pitcher.
Emery's loss , undoubtedly will
throw ' Bedenk's 1959 plans off
somewhat. In two years of college
play, Emery won 18 of 20 games.
His only two losses came this
past season when he fell to
Temple and Lafayette. With the
stick, Emery batted .300 this sea
son and .352 in 1957.
Class Secretary Named
David Tressler, of South Con
nellsville, a graduate in the Col
lege of Education, has been ap
pointed permanent secretary of
the class of '5B.
The appointment was made by
Thomas Hollander, class presi
dent.

Seniors, Take Note:
Are You Educated?
Graduating seniors, take note! The degree you receive
today does not necessarily mean you are educated. You are
not sufficiently well-read.
That appears to be the attitude of the Liberal Arts faculty
and student council. They have some suggestions which you
can use to become literate
The council recently polled its
faculty and compiled a list of the
classic works of some 65 world
authors which instructors consider
every college student should read
before he graduates.
The list, which recently has
been available at the LA office,
embraces a wide variety of sub
jects, periods, ways of life, and
points of view.
Richard C, Maloney, assistant
dean . of the college, said yesterday
that the list was prompted by an
apparent lack of culture at the
University, but added that he felt
the council was "unduly concern
ed."
He said the list was formulated
about a year ago to stimulate
broader reading among students.
"I wouldn't consider it a com
prehensive list, by any means,"
he said.
Well, how do you stack up?
against this list? Take a look at it!
and check off the books you have;
read. But you had better keep
your score to yourself.

Diplomas To
Be Given
Individually
By GINNY PHILIPS, '5B
More than 2500 graduates will
receive their diplomas individ
ually today from the dean of their
college if the Commencement ex
ercises are held at Beaver Field.
Each graduate is given a num
ber printed beside his name on
the Commencement program. This
number is put on the diploma as
a code and guide to the dean who
hands it out.
The new graduates will be sig
naled to move to the diploma
tables just before the end of the
ceremony. They will give their
number to the clerk and receive
the diploma and the congi atula
tions of the dean.
The diploma should be taken
with the left hand so that the
right hand is free to shake hands
with the dean.
For most of the University's
history through the World War II
years the graduates were given
their diplomas individually by the
president.
The large classes since then has
made it impractical and the grad
uates had -to pick up their
diplomas at Willard Hall follow
ing the ceremony.
Because this was too much like
mass production the system o.
receiving the diplomas from the
deans was devised in 1956. It has
been used ever since.
In case the commencement ex
ercises are held indoors the di
plomas will not be handed out
by the deans and must be picked
up at the Registrar's office in
Willard Hall directly after the
ceremony.
