picture about a year ago and
are responsible for the original
conception of MARL Otis Lan
caster, professor of electrical
engineering, said the idea was
born when Howard Hoffman,
assistant professor of psychol
ogy, addressed a seminar for
“new" (less than two semesters
here) en g i neering professors.
Hoffman said that experiments
had shown that when pigeons
were given immediate rein
forcement to a correct response
Ihey would learn faster.
Their interest aroused, the engi
neers began to shop around for a
why to apply this to college teach
ing—MARI was the result.
Lancaster said he hopes to
prove that students, like pigeons,
learn faster when they are tested
on information immediately after
they have learned it.
Hotfman and Lancaster got a
$lOOO grant from Westinghouse
Electric to construct a proto
type. Westinghouse gave an ad
ditional $4OOO for construction
of 30 individual units and a
master control after ihey saw
the prototype.
The individual MARI units on
the students’ desks consist of an
aluminum box large enough for
the student to put his hand into.
The student places lus forefinger
on tlie "true” button and his
thumb on the "false” button.

The Stuttgart Chamber Orches-i
tra is composed of eighteen mem-;
bers and is conducted by Karl}
Muenchinger The group was}
founded at Stuttgart, Germany, j
During the 1053-54 season, the
oichestra made its first Ameri
can tour and returns now to the
United States for a second tour
[under the sponsorship of the Ger
|man government.
The Stuttgart group was formed
m 1945 from the best young west
Suropean instrumentalists avail
able. Every member of the or
chestra has a personal reputation
as a solo player and Muenchinger
's in constant demand as a guest
conductor lie preceded his group
to the United States in the spring
lof 1953 to be conductor of the
San Francisco Symphony for nine
concerts.
Originally the orchestra limit
ed its activities to the Stuttgart
area. Later it accepted invitations
from other parts of Germany and
in 1948 the group went to Switz
erland. That same year they made
their French debut in Paris. Since
then the group has toured most
of "Western Europe.
The program will open Friday
night with Handel’s “Concerto
Grosso No. 12 in B Minor,” fol
lowed by Bach's “Brandenburg
Concerto No. 3 in G Major” and
Mozart's “Eine Kleine Nachtmu
sik, K. 525.”
Following the intermission the
orchestra will present "Symphony
No. 2 for Strings” by Honegger, a
contemporary French composer

cited as materials needed for re
search. These facilities necessary
for carrying out research pro
grams include copying services,
machine methods, abstracting and
indexing through the use of IBM
machines.
The library also has an obli
gation to train personnel and
information specialists, McComb
said.
He added: "Only through new
budgets can the University car
ry out its program of training
personnel adequately and in
sufficient quantities to carry its
library program into effect."
McComb said that “although
‘he library has almost doubled in
size in the last 12 years, it is not
anywhere near where it should
be. A great university cannot be
named that does not have a strong
'ibrary in areas in which it is
• trong.” he said.
“With the growth of research
it will be imperative to provide
library facilities to aid in this
research,” McComb added.
Nitfany Council to Meet
Nittany Council will meet at

Modal Railroad Club
Half-Pint Iron Horse
On Transcontinental
By BRENDA PEZZNER
Transcontinental shipments
are made every day, but how
about one by model railroad?
The Penn State model rail
roaders have prepared a half
pint “highballer” to carry
greetings from model railroad
clubs throughout the nation to
the National Model Railroad As
sociation Convention in San Diego
this summer. The miniature Un
ion Pacific will take to the rails
to approximately twenty differ
ent clubs before reaching San
Diego.
The railroaders are oiling up
the tiny iron horse for its trip
to Altoona on Friday, and to
Williamsport on Monday. From
Williamsport it will be railed
to Rochester, Boston, San Fran
cisco," Lansing, Los Angeles and
many other places.
This innovation in transconti
nental transportation was the
brainstorm of Andrew Banto,
senior in mechanical engineering
from Philadelphia.
The Penn State model rail
roaders built the boxcar, which
is now being sponsored by the
Promotion Committee of the
National Model Railroad Asso
ciation.
This novel idea was put into
effect by the 18 members of the
Penn State Model Railroading
Club. Future plans have also
been made for the miniature. Af
ter the San Diego convention,
the boxcar will follow a new
schedule across the country,
eventually reaching Chicago fori
the National Model Railroading
Association Convention m August
1960.
