It is the first time dancing fa cilities have been available at the Inn since the redecoration of its Penn State Room in 1954. Louis E. Silvi, manager of the Inn, said a room next to the Penn State Room has been re decorated to provide for dancing. He said this would provide space for sorority pledge dinners and dances or similar affairs held by student and town organiza tions. However, the newly decorated room will be reserved for dinner dances only and not used for dances alone, Silvi said. There will be no extra charge for use of the dancing room after a dinner, he said. The Penn State Room was at one time used for dinner dances, but wall-to-wall carpeting was in stalled when the room was re decorated. Education Professors Co-Author Text Book Dr. Donald G.

The Engineering and Archi tecture Student Council favors ICCB's sponsoring of the All- University program in place of individual council expositions. Kendall said, “The (industrial) exposition last year just scratched the surface.” According to Ken dall, this career exposition would include representatives from all fields —not just industry. It would enable more students to talk to representatives than the panel discussions of last year’s industrial exposition, Kendall said. The council suggested that emphasis be placed on indi vidual careers and not on such general information as was of fered last year. It was also sug gested that since an All-Uni versity career exposition would benefit and interest students in all curriculums. it should he held in Hetzel Union Building. Kendall and the council based their suggestions 'on the informa tion Kendall obtained at a Career Exposition at Michigan State from which he just returned. Michigan State’s exposition, “Career Carnival,” had 73 com panies represented. Each company had men there to discuss inform ally with students the opportuni ties their companies offered, The Michigan exposition's aim was to inform' students of the different companies' assets and to let individual students know about the opportunities and limitations they might meet in industry. Kendall told ICCB members that he had spoken to George N. P. Leetch, director of the Univer sity Placement Service, about helping the board with the cam pus-wide exposition. According to Kendall, Leetch was non-com mittal. The board decided to delay ac tion on the proposal until mem bers can refer it to individual councils for a vote. dent a sufficient challenge while the less gifted ones may be forced into work beyond their capacities. Walker also challenged the popular notion that "biggness represents badness" in educa tion. "It is as easy to get poor leaching in a small school," he said, "as it is to get it in a large one." ‘‘The best possible education occurs when the Interests and abilities of our young people are carefully matched with quality programs to prepare them for use ful, rewarding work,” he said. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 25. 1958 Gridders Favored Over Orange by 6 One of the most bitter grid rivalries in Penn State annals will be renewed this afternoon when unpredict able Penn State hosts Syra cuse at Beaver Field. A near capacity crowd of 33,000 is expected for the 36th game in a series which dates back to 1922. Although the Lions hold the series edge with 17 wins, 13 losses and five ties, the record fails to list the many intang ible items that have made the series such a spiteful conflict. In fact, the upstate New York school ranks with West Vir ginia as Penn Stale's second biggest rival. Naturally, Pitt is first. Daunna Doebler Is Junior Prom Queen . Daunna Doebler reigned as queen of the “Cinderella Ball” at the Junior Prom last night. Ralph. Marterie crowned the queen and she was presented with a golden trophy by Vince Marino, junior class president. Miss Doebler, junior in art education from Jersey Shore, was sponsored by Leonides. Recreation Building was trans formed into a blue and white decorated “palace” for the event. Hundreds of students filled the dance floor, which was decorated with large white columns which changed colors at intervals. The remaining finalists for the queen contest formed Miss Doeb ler’s court. They were: Audrey Finney, elementary education ma jor from ITavertown, Alpha Chi Omega; Faith Horne, art educa tion major from Lititz, Alpha Chi Omega; Diane Morocco, elemen tary education major from Pitts burgh, Gamma Phi Beta; and Marlynn Turki, physical educa tion major from Cannonsburg. The five finalists received bouquet', of roses from the Junior Class Advisory Board. Judges for the contest were Alan Crabtree, Jack Harper, Bob Martin, Ethel Meserve and John Storch. A committee of the advisory board picked the five finalists from about 65 applicants for the contest. Chairman of the commit tee was Charles Blunt, junior in Khrushchev Suggests Soviet Aid to Brazil LONDON Iff) Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has suggested substantial Russian aid for Brazil in a plea for closer relations be tween the two countries.

By LOU PRATO Sports Editor Syracuse dominated the ser- By ELAINE MIELE ies over the first 18 years— winning nine, losing four and tying five—but from 1941 to 1949 the Nittany Valley eleven were never beaten or dead locked. (No game was played in 1943.) The rivalry has grown more intense since 1950. That's when the current respective coaches —Penn Slate's Rip Engle and Syracuse's Ben Swarlzwalder —began battling. Swarizwald er's eleven beat the Englemen in their first meeting. But En gle has won five of the last seven, including a 20-12 victory last fall. The Lions will have an ad ditional hex working for them this afternoon, for the Orange have not won at the Beaver Field lair since taking the 16-0 affair in 1934.

Taiwan By University Instruction The University five years ago pushed its educational bor ders out to the island of Taiwan and since then has made its knowhow in industrial education and home economics available to students there. Under a program sponsored by the International Co operation Administration, 38 Formosan administrators and teachers have received a year’s instruction in vocational educa tion and home economics within the past five years, and at pre sent, seven are enrolled in special courses. As a result, the island of Tai wan has elevated its vocational education and home economics instruction, and has improved the standards of its 25 vocational schools. During the past five years two buildings were erected on the Taiwan Normal University campus under the guidance of cal bettors feel that the book ies have eirored in their selec tion. In doing so, they point to Syracuse’s more impressive record which includes victories over Boston College, 24-14, Cor nell. 55-0, and Nebraska, 38-0, and a 14-13 loss to Holy Cross. The Lions, on the other hand, stand at 3-2 with wins over Penn, 40-0, Marquette, 40-8, and Boston University, 34-C, and defeats lo Nebraska, 14-7, and Army, 26-0.
