However, no Reactor Team Gets Grant From AEC A research project conducted at the University by Dr. Philip L. Walker Jr., and Dr. Corliss R. Kinney, both pi ofessors of fuel technology, will be continued with a grant of $36,672 from the Atomic Energy Commission. The study is titled, "Factors Affecting th e Mechanism of Graphitization, the Heterogeneous Gas Reactions of Graphite and the Release of Chemisorbed Gases on Graphite by Thermal and Chemi cal Treatment " The AEC has recently shown great interest in the gas cooled graphite moderated atomic re actor as a means of producing energy. With this interest, the commis sion has become increasingly con cerned about the behavior of graphite in the presence of such gases as carbon dioxide, air and carbon monoxide. It is also con cerned about the effect of the re lease of chemisorbed gases on graphite insofar as it affects its moderating ability and is also in terested in the obtaining of graph ites of different crystalline struc ture and orientation. Research broadly encompass ing the above areas is being con ducted by Walker and Kinney with the assistance of eight grad uate students.

Students now enrolled in hotel administration and new freshmen starting-next semester will not ,be affected by the curriculum. The present setup will be dropped when the last of its students grad uate in 1962. While revising the folir-year curriculum, the trustees have set up a two-year program in hotel and food service, leading to an associate degree. The two-year curriculum, to be opera ted on an experimental basis, is the first Home Economics associate degree program to be offered at the University. By switching the hotel and food service course to campus, stu dents will be able to utilize the Nittany Lion Inn for practicum requirements, according to Law rence E. Dennis, vice president for academic affairs. Dennis said: "Students will be admitted to the program on the same basis as four-year stu dents, and they will enjoy the same privileges as baccalaure ate students.' Dr. Grace M. Henderson, dean of the College of Home Economics, said the two year course will in clude many of those subjects of fered to four-year students. There will also be several new subjects designed for the associate degree program. A summer practicum will be part of the requirements, she said. Gridder Is Trustee J. L.

AND I E -.7DEADv THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA 1 Insurance Information Booths Open Representatives for the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan will be stationed during registration hours today, tomor row and Friday opposite the Het zel Union desk and in Waring Lounge. Information will be available about the insurance program. Stu dents may enroll in the program at this time also. The enrollment deadline is Sept. 17. Several thousand dollars have been paid out in claims to in sured students. The claims have included everything from ingrown toenails to appendectomies. The insurance program, under written by the Continental Cas ualty Company, covers enrollees 24 hours a day at home, at school or while traveling, including dur ing vacation periods. Student's wives, husbands and children are eligible for benefits at extra cost. The program includes three plans. Plan I, which costs $15.75, was most in mand last semes ter, with ab , 90 per cent of the insured stur,_..lts enrolling in it. Plan II costs $5. It was designed for students already covered by a base family plan. Plan 111 is similar to Plan I, except that it does not provide for coverage after the full compen sation of the basic plans has been paid. It costs $12.75. Hort Students Present Show Alum Weekend The annual horticulture show, presented during Alumni Week end, - is the result of a full year of planning and hard work by horticulture students. The elaborate show, seen by upwards of 20,000 each year, was taken over by students in 1928; before that the horticulture staff had been responsible for th.! dis plays of fruit, vegetables and flowers. The modern version, of course, is much more extensive, and viewers see the pavilion magic ally transformed into a splash of color and floral design. The tradition was born in 1908 when apples from commercial fruit growers in the State were displayed in the attic of the agri culture building. The same students who put on the Hort Show also stage an edu cational exhibit at the Philadel phia Flower Show. Another annual event is the National Intercollegiate Flower Judging Contest to be held at the University this year. Teams from 17 universities judge flowers provided by florist organizations for a first prize of a trophy and $75 in cash. The Uni versity came in first last year. 4 .1.41 CuiLcat.

All-University Cabinet is both a legislative and an exec utive group, acting as the most direct liason between stu dents and the administration Ideas or recommendations stem ming from student groups may pass through several groups to Cabinet and eventually become policies, rules or student projects. One example of an idea which became a project of student gov ernment in cooperation with the University is the Artists Series. The idea of an Artists Series originated at a Student Encamp ment( see page 5). This recom mendation went simultaneously to the University administration and Cabinet. It was discussed and debated and then suggestions and recom mendation—were turned over to working committees for finalized plans. After Cabinet approval and subsequent University approval, the program was put into oper ation. Because of the diversified struc ture of student government, you are represented by at least six persons on Cabinet: The three All-University Offi cers, your college council presi dent, your living unit representa tive, and your class president. Your living unit representa tive may be either the president of Association of Independent Men, Leonides, Panhellenic Coun cil or Interfraternity Council. In addition, you may be repre sented by the president of Wom en's Recreation Association, pres ident of the Athletic Association, chairman of the Board of Dra matics and Forensics or the edi tor of The Daily Collegian. These Cabinet members represent or ganizational affiliates, such as persons on publications. Recommendations by Cabinet which need University approval are relayed through appropriate administration channels, such as faculty, administrative or Board of Trustees committees. * NITTANY NOW— Doors Open 6:45 p.m. "and God created woman" Bris;ltite Bardot I Graham & Sons Established in 1896 Which makes Grahams the oldest busi ness in State College.
