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.

- definite action has been taken as
yet an the new program..
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.

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.

All-U Cabinet Heads
Student Governments
Student goverment draws its power f r o m the student
body and transmits it through a developed structure to All-
University Cabinet, the top student governing body on cam
pus.
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.
