The University was one of the first agencies asked to par ticipate in the foreign aid pro gram under the Marshall Plan. At first only five war-torn Eu ropean countries received this kind of industrial' aid. Today most of these nations . have been _dropped because of 'post-war reconstruction and many more throughout the world have been put on the industrial aid list. 90th Birthday Celebrated By Alums' Father A father of seven university alumni celebrated his 90th birth tlay yesterday.

Many of the inquiries can be answered there: others are sent out to the agencies through out the country. In the seven years the Uni versity has worked with the program. almost 400 inquiries from some two dozen, countries have reported. Besides giving a needy country real economic aid, engineers have had a valuable opportunity, to learn about the levels of engi neering development -in many countries, _lnquiries are received by Ro bert 'H. Ramsey, director of the Industrial Reference Div i s i o n, who distributes the work among three faculty members of the col lege. At one time, as many as 12 faculty members were working on the inquiries. Senior Citi • College, his fd happy life g-lived ances fall things and or and ability RCH .

' Centers Seeks Slide Main Campus Life i n Bx Adopted by 3400 Rules The Engineering and Architec ture Student Council has pi o posed to recommend to t h Boat(' of Trustees that the Penn, State Book Exchange sell slide rules. The BX was not permitted to include slide rules this semester„ in its engineers' supplies. Robert, G. Bernreuter, special assistant to', the president for student affairs, had ruled that a slide rule is not part of an engineer's eqUipment The council plans to approach Bernreuter and have him send this matter before the Trustees. The Council felt that this might ,' be the stimulus that would open up greater trade for the BX. Council decided to make the appeal to the trustees without the help of a BX representative. In other business, the council, / favored a 3-fold evaluation pro.-: gram. One evaluation sheet would, be filled out by students concern ing courses. The second would be; a faculty evaluation of their own , teaching. The third concerns only seniors and would include the names of, their best professors and courses and the inadequacies of the exist , ing program. A senior evaluation I program is expected to begin with January graduates. It was also suggested that the professors evaluate the atti- iudes of the present students so that this could be used as a basis for improving freshman attitudes. Concerning the Career Day program, a council member pro posed that individual student dis plays be included in the program. This idea will be brought to the Inter-College Council Board.

Old Pollock Dorms Give Way at Last The hope of many male, students that "something would happen to the Pollock Circle dorms" ha s finally come true. This week the Virginia Engi neering Corporation, general con- Itractors, started demolition pro cedings on the former Pollock I Residence Halls. The old halls are being re-' moved to make way for new resi dence hall projects that will pro vide living facilities for 2016. The temporary frame residence halls were constructed- in 1946, but were tised until the spring semes ter, 1958. Top soil and rough grading are also being carried out by construction crews in the area, according 'to John D. Miller, head of the Division of Building Construction.
