Creamery
Will Stop
Deliveries
The University Creamery will
discontinue service to some 800
retail:route customers during the
summer.
Dr. Donald V. Josephson, head
of the Department of Dairy Sci
ence, said the creamery has suf
ficient volume on campus to sup
port the needs of both teaching
and research in the dairy science
department.
The creamery supplies all the
dairy products for the University's
food service department and the
Hetzel Union Building. It was
founded before 'l9OO and has
served retail outlets since that
time.
The three retail routes in the
State College borough were serv
ed three times weekly by Uni
versity trucks. Only milk and
other fluid - products were sold to
customers on the route.
Dr. Lyman E. Jackson, dean of
the College of Agriculture, said
each customer will be informed
individually of the cut-off date
"approximately ode month before
the route distribution is discon
tinued."
The University had for many
years planned to discontinue the
retail route as soon as the cam
pus demand for its products was
sufficient to absorb the volume
necessitated by the program in
dairy technology, Jackson said.
A new and enlarged University
Creamery salesroom will make
available all products, including
milk in paper containers, for those
who wish to continue the pur
chase of creamery products, he
said.
The milk will sell at Milk Con
trol Commission store price.
Czechoslovakia Topic
Of Econ Prof's Article
An article written by Dr. Vac
]av E. Mares, associate professor
of economics, appears in the April

Moscow's Model State," is an

2000 Reported for Traffic Violations
More than 2000 students felt
the long arm of the campus
law last semester when they
were reported for traffic vio
lations.
In former years most of these
cases would have been brought
before , Traffic Court. However,
since the adoption of a policy
which charges court costs to all
violators found guilty by the
court, about 90 percent of fines
are paid without urt proceed
ings.
The new policy, approved by
Cabinet last spring, provides
that persons given tickets by
the Campus Patrol, report to
Captain Philip A. Mark in the
Traffic Violations office in the
Meisel Union Building instead
of to the Campus Patrol. Mark
screens the cases and can im
pose penalties, dismiss or sus
pend them.
All violators-have the option of
taking their case to court, bu'
since court costs of SIM arc
charged to those found guilty
most fines are paid immediately
according to Douglas Smith
chairman of the court.
Statistics compiled by Ma r
show that last semester 2280 stu
dents reported to his office, but
h Actor
Perform
Starting with an introduc
tion of the late poet and writer,
Williams will show episodes out
of the life and works of Thomas.
The English actor first became'
interested in the works of Thomas)
in 1953. He took part in four me
morial performances in memory
of the poet-writer and then set
about perfecting the performance. l
It was a year before the per-'
,formance was perfected enough
'to perform. Williams first pre
;sented "A Boy Growing Up" at
;the Bath Festival in England. It
proved so successful that he was
asked to open the season at the
IGlobe Theatre in London. Last
year it was brought to Broadway
where it received excellent re
views.
Williams makes no attempt to
impersonate Thomas, but has
developed the plot of the per
formance out of the writer's
stories.
The performance is divided in- 1
to 12 parts. Williams starts with
an introduction of Thomas and
then moves to "Memories of Child
hood." A section called "Cousin
Gwilym" follows.
"Who Do You Wish Was With'
Us?" and "The Outing" conclude
the first part of the performance.
During the second portion Wil
liams will perform: "The Hand,"
"Reminiscences of a Schoolmas
ter," "The Fight" and "Just
Like Little Dogs."
The final segment of the show+
includes a "Self-Portrait," "Ad
ventures in the Skin Trade" and
"A -Note to Close On."
The scenes are all taken from
works of Thomas. They include:
"Quite Early One Morning,"
stories from "Portrait of the Ar
tist as a Young Dog," "A Prospect
of the Sea," "Return Journey"
and "Fantasy."

Bond Sale

Construction
The University has an
nounced the sale of its third issue
of first mortgage bonds to aid in
the construction of residence and
dining hall facilities.
The bonds totaled $ll million.
McKay Donkin, vice president
for finance, said the interest costs
on this sale were 3.88 per cent.
He also said that the sale brought
the total value of bonds outstand

The final amount will be ob

Possible under the terms of the

"Funds made available to the
University through the sale of
bonds can be used only for self
liquidating projects," Donkin said.
No Commonwealth money can be
used for such projects nor can the
money raised by the sale of bonds
i be used for any but the stated
purposes, he said.
The University bonds are held
by large investment institutions,
insurance companies and banks
all over the country, as well as
'by many individual investors.

mission to have three different

Problems Today
Faced Officials
100 Years Ago
Some of the problems facing
the University today were plague
ing the administration 100 years
ago when the first students ar
rived.
For instance, year 'round class
es, now being discussed, were
standard fare in 1859. Classes at
the Farmer's High School, as the
University was then known, ran
from Feb, 16, 1859 to Dec. 12,
1859 without a vacation.
The first year students were
here, only 69 of the 100 enrolled
showed up for the start of school.
Now the University admits more
students than it can accommodate
with some people living rniunges
and the hospital.
The University has done a com
plete about-face in the field of
'curriculum content in the past
100 years.
At that time the emphasis was
placed on science with a conscious
avoidance of the classics in order
to give the students a more "prac
tical" education.
A century later, President Eric
A. Walker is seeking to strengthen
the University's liberal arts pro
gram.
