Krogman Talks
On Evolution
The immense journey from the single-celled organism
to man took about 2.5 billions years, Wilton M. Krogman,
professor of physical anthropology at the Graduate School
of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, said Sunday
night.
Krogman's speech "The Or
of Man" was the second in the
Darwinian Series sponsored by the
University Lecture Series.
The first step of the journey
was the change from unicellular
to muti-cellular life, he said. In
the many-celled forms of life dif
ferentiations in tissues appeared
along with primitive nervous sys
tems.
Then came the development
of vertebrae patterns of life, he
said. Backbones were important
to increased motility and volun- '
tary locomotion.
The appearance of mammals
with placental births, warm blood
edness and specialized teeth was
another important development
in pre-human evolution.
Seventy miUion years ago pri
mates z , ppeared which possibly
arose from other placental mam
mals. Krogman said there early
primates were in danger of being
driven out by rodents and thus
left the ground for the trees. Pre
hensitility, motility and good vi
sion became extremely necessary
for their survival.
The common ancestor to pri
mates and man probably existed,
about 50 million years ago, Krog
man said, At that time apes be
gan to specialize in one direction
and man in another
"The diversification of forms
took place in East Africa and thus
we have here the cradle of man
kind," Krogman said.

of that given by Garlock was ad
vanced by Marilyn West, candi
date for junior assemblyman.
Miss West said she "thinks it
ought to he on a selective basis
whereby those people who want
to go on to be officers can enroll
in the ROTC program."
Miss West alio said she fa
vored the vice president chair
ing the Assembly. Garlock and
Alexander both agreed on the
matter.
Garlock said "the president has
lost a little bit of his power .
changes should be made to elim
inate this loss."
"The vice president, secretary
and treasurer of the class should
be elected," Garlock said. "It's an
awful big job to appoint someone
to the position.
Alexander said he thought that
might be the situation in the
freshman class but in the upper
classes appointment would be al
right because the president would
know who was capable of hand
ling the job.
Miss West said she thought it
is "silly to complicate the elec
tions by placing the other posi
tions on the ballot."

dents in business administration

the Business Bowl this weekend.
The bowl, sponsored by Inter-':
national Business Machines, was
played in Chicago Friday and,
Saturday. Those participating,
from tha University were Paul
Cryder. from State College; Ron-'
ald Herlihy, from New York
City; Michael Hottenstein, from
Mverstown; Howard Kreps, from
Pittsburgh; and Richard Lesher,
from Cnambersburg.
The teams were given hypo
thetical businesses, which were
not in good financial positions, to
operate.
The players received quarterly
reports on the firm's progress.
Business decisions dealing with
expenditures, pricing and invest
ment policy were fed into an IBM
computer, which showed the out
come of the decisions.
The College of Business Ad
ministration will receive a scale
model of an IBM RAMAC 650
computrir as a trophy.

All the candidates present at;
the interview were in agreement
on this issue. Carson explained,
that the present system of having,
the vice president presiding over
Assembly was suitable because it
lessens the workload of the SGA
president
Miss Cavana:h added that
with the vice president head
ing the Assembly, the president
is given more time for some
extra duties such as speaking
engagements.
On the additional class officersi
issue:
Steven Ott, candidate for sen
ior assemblyman, stated that
"class vice presidents and secre
tary-treasurers should definitely
be elected.
Barbara Isaacson, candidate for
freshman assemblyman, said that'
advisory boards should elect these
officers, particularly in the fresh
man class since freshmen are less
familiar with the candidates,
Mark Sandson, candidate for
sophomore president, said he did
not see the necessity of the two
officers. He stated that a compe
tent president would be able to
handle the job he was elected to
fulfill.
