TUESDAY. MARCH 22. 1960 Souhim On Ch By JOEL MYERS Dr. Leo H. Sommer, associate professor of chemistry, is conducting basic research which may lead to important fundamentals dis coveries in the field of organic chemistry. Sommer is looking at chemical reactions in a new and different light tian has been done previously. He is con cerned with the mechanisms of the reactions and the way in which the reactions physically fit together to yield the product. Previously, chemists had been mainly concerned with the in gredients and the products, but not with the intimate details of the actual reactions between the atoms. Gonch To Sp< SCAS “Revolutionary Demands on American Youth’’ will be the topic of a talk by Dr. Nicholas T. Goncharoff, r secretary of International Education of the International Committee of YMCA, at 7:30 tonight in 10 Sparks. This is the last of his series “Students in an Age of Revolu tion’’ sponsored by the Student Christian Association. Goncharoff was born in Kiev, Russia, and was educated in Com munist schools. Despite religious persecution, he was a member of the Russian Drthodox Church and served as an altar boy for his father, a diplomat who turned to the priesthood following the revo lution. After the war, during which he was interned in a prisoner-of-war camp in the Ukraine and later in a forced labor camp in Germany, Goncharoff received his doctor of philosophy degree from the Uni versity of Munich. Goncharoff first came in con tact with the YMCA in a German refugee camp. Later he became president of the 19 Russian YMCA groups in West Germany and served as secretary of the Russian Student Christian Movement in Germany. Following his arrival in the United States, he became con nected with the National Council YMCA, Public Affairs program. He became a citizen of the Unit ed States in 1957. Pickrel to Speak On 'Obsolescence' Paul Pickrel, managing editor of The Yale Review, will be the next speaker in the Liberal Arts lecture series. His topic will be “The Obsolescence of the Pres ent.” Pickrel will speak at 8 p.m. tomorrow in 121 Sparks. In ad dition to his Work on The Yale Review, he is the director of the Scholars of the House program, a plan under which a select group of seniors is exempt from all course work to pursue indepen dent program of research and writing. Pickrel is the author of the nov el “The Moving Stairs.” —Remember when you used to go to bed with the curfew? Today they just blow it to wake you up. IBM. Invites Ph.D. Degree Candidates in electrical engineering, mathematics, physios, mechanical engineering, statistics and physical chemistry to meet Messrs. G. C. Anthony, G. E. Brock and G. E. StMAms Representatives of IBM Research and Development Laboratories on march 28, 29 & 30 For appointment, please contact The Placement Office r Conducts Study mical Reactions roff ik In ries To enable Sommer lo proceed with his new treatment of chem- i istry it became necessary for him to work with elements that he could 'see'. Thus, he de veloped optically active silicon compounds in order that he might study the seiero-chemis try and the mechanisms of re actions involving silicon atoms. According to Sommers, such particles have eluded organo silicon research workers for 50! years. I Sommer has been engaged in this project since 1947 with the financial support of the Dow Corning Corporation. There are eight graduate students assisting him in the work. Sommer stressed that the aim of the project is not to come up with new and commercially useful products, but to "explore" and conduct "basic research" for the sake of knowledge in this field. He did, however, mention that one of the results of his research will be to improve the practicality of silicon rubber. This improved ‘rubber’ will be capable of with standing tremendous extiemes in temperature and will find con siderable use in modern aircraft.

PENNSYLVANIA LUTHERAN STUDENT COMMUNION at 10:45 a.m. GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH College and Atherton ' Wednesday... March 23 Breakfast Follows Communion Diem Meets Nittany Men; Vows Action By MEG TEICHHOLTZ Albert E. Diem, vice presi dent in charge of business ad ministration, said last night at a meeting of the Nittany Area Council that all com plaints of the residents con cerning living conditions will be remedied if proved valid. Barry Rein, president of the council, had arranged the meeting with Diem, Robert C. Proffitt, di rector of food service, and John F. Fishburn, head of operations of the Department of Housing, to discuss the complaints of the res idents as evidenced in a ques tionnaire recently circulated throughout the area. The problem of communications between the residents of the area and the departments of the admin istration concerned was raised as la chief issue. I “Report after report submitted 'by area residents ■ have never found their way to the proper de partment for consideration” ac cording to Jerome Whalen, res idence hall coordinator for the area. Diem emphasized that the prob lem of funds will continue to in fluence any repairs made on the area. Plans are now being drawn up to refurbish Nittany under the fund of $132,000 recently allot ted to this project. The residents also demand to know why repairs on small but inconvenient issues are not being taken care of during the current semester, as promised by the ad ministration. Diem stated that this matter will be investigated. Marine Officers To Be at HUB A U.S. Marine Corps officer selection team will be at the Hetz el Union card room today and tomorrow to answer_ the ques tions of students interested in Marine officer training pro grams and to accept applications from qualified students. The visit will mark the team’s final appearance on the campus this academic year. Officer training programs open to male students are the Platoon Leaders Class for freshmen, sopho mores and juniors, and the Offi cer Candidate Class for seniors and recent graduates. Both pro grams lead to commissions in either the ground or aviation branches of the Marine Corps.

EAT, DRINK AND BE MARRIED On a recent tour of seventy million American colleges, 1 was struck by two outstanding facts: first, the great mimtier of students who smoke Marllmro, and second, (he great number of students who are married. The first phenomenon—the vast multitude of Marlboro smokers—comes as no surprise for, as everyone knows, the college student is an enormously intelligent organism, and what could lie more intelligent than to smoke Mailboro? After all, pleasure is what you smoke for and pleasure is what Marlboro delivers—pleasure in every puff of that good golden tobacco. If you think flavor went out when filteis came in try a Marlboro. Light up and see for yourself ...Or, if you like, don’t light up. Just take a Marllioro, unlighted, and puff a couple of times. Get that wonderful flavor? You bet you do! Even with out lighting you can taste Marlboro’s excellent filter blend. Also you can make your package last practically forever. No, I say, it was not the great number of Marlboro smokers that astounded me, it was the great number of married students. You may find this hard to believe but latest statistics show that at some coeducational colleges the proportion of married under graduates runs as high as thirty percent! And, what is even more startling, fully one-quarter of these marriages have been blessed with issue! Here now is a figure to give you pause! Not that we don’t all love babies. Of course we do! Babies are pink and fetching rascals, given to winsome noises and droll expressions, and we all like nothing better than to rain kisses on their soft little skulls. But just the same, to the young campus couple who are parents for the first time the baby is likely to lie a source of considerable worry. Therefore, let me devote today’s column to a few helpful hints on the care of babies. First of all, .we will take up the matter of diet. In the jiast, babies were raised largely on table scraps. This, however, was outlawed by the Smoot-Hawlcy Act, and today babies are fed a scientific formula consisting of dextrose, maltose, distilled water, evaporated milk and a twist of lemon jieel. After eating, the baby tends to grow sleepy. A lullaby is very useful to help it fall asleep. In case you don’t know any lulla bies, make one up. This is not at ail difficult. In a lullaby the words are unimportant since the baby doesn’t understand them anyhow. The important thing is the sound. All you have to do is string together a bunch of nonsense syllables, taking care that they make an agreeable sound. For example: Go to sleep, my little infant, Goo-goo moo-moo poo-poo binfanl. Having fed and serenaded the baby, arrange it in the position for slumber. A baby sleeps best on its stomach so place it that way in its crib. Then to make sure it will not turn itself over during the night lay a soft but fairly heavy object on its back another baby, for instance And when baby is font asleep—the little angell—why don't you relax and give yourself a treat ? With Marlboro—or if you like mildness but you don’t like filters —with Philip Morris made in long size and regular by the sponsors of this column.
