Sixteen hours of "core"
courses in basic broadcasting
and communications will be re
quired of all students, regard
less of specialization. The re
mainder of the 32-38 credit ma
jor requirement will be taken
in the field of specialization.
The new major was developed
and studied by the independent
University Broadcasting Commit
tee, chaired by H. Eugene Good
, win, head of the School of Jour
nalism, and consisting of mem
bers of the Departments of Jour
nalism, Speech and Theater Arts
"This is an unusual approach to
' such a curriculum as it seeks to
take advantage of the common
'foundations of broadcasting found
in each department," Goodwin
said.
According to Goodwin, the core,
courses have been designed tol
give a broad understanding of
the responsibil4ties inherent in the(
field of communications, while!
the options give preparation in
professional specialization.
The broadcasting major also
requires that students satisfy
the basic requirements for grad-
nation from the College of the
Liberal Arts.

I mittee was appointed in March'
1959 by Lawrence E. Dennis, vice,
president for academic affairs.l
At that time the committee was )
asked to develop a cooperative, in
terdepartmental major in radio
and television broadcasting, Good
win said.
The committee will continue to
operate as an administrative and
coordinating body.
Under a change in graduation
requirements in the College of
the Liberal Arts, the Senate also
decided that the 6-credit philos
ophy requirement may be satis
fied by taking either philosophy

A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
Lion's Paw, Inc., representing 600 alumni of the senior honor society,
herewith joins its undergraduate chapters, incoming and outgoing, in a public
statement of principles designed to clarify the position of this organization on
the campus Lind at the same time to pledge its continued interest in, and
dedicated service to, those programs and policies which it believes will best
help The Pennsylvania State University achieve its destiny as one of America's
truly great universities.
Like other organizations of its kind on this and other campuses, Lion's
Paw is self-perpetuating. To each retiring chapter is accorded the privilege
of naming those seniors it deems best able and most willing to serve selflessly
and with clear conscience the best interests of the University-at-large. Mem
bers traditionally are chosen for their leadership potential and/or because
of the positions of responsibility they hold. Purpose of the organization is to
provide members with opportunities for discussion of problems common to
the officers of student organizations; to gain from the wisdom of group judg
ment; and to join in devoting themselves to projects which in all humility
they believe will contribute to the betterment of the Universiy as a whole.
Because it enjoys no privileges and exercises no prerogatives in con
flict with this high purpose, Lion's Paw endeavors quietly and democratically
to advance those causes in which it believes and to oppose with equal vigor
those proposals which it considers to be contrary to the best interests of stu
dents, faculty and administration. Membership in the organization is based
primarily on character, dedication, and achievement, or any combination of
the three. In accepting membership no initiate is committed to any course in
which he does not believe, nor is he asked to set aside his own personal con
victions nor subscribe by ballot to any issue upon which he may be at
variance with his fellow-members.
Lion's Paw does not publicize its activities because it is not seeking
recognition; it does not enforce unit rule; and it meets privately because the
discussions would lose the vital element of frankness ,if open to the public.
It exists as an organization only to provide continuity of the idea from year
to year; to perpetuate its tradition of service to Penn State; and to limit mem
bership.to an effective group size, made up of men who are compatible and
who enjoy mutual respect.
It is apparent that such a group will always be open to misunderstand
ing and attack by anyone who wishes to gain advantage by insinuation, but
the fact that its members are drawn largely from students elected to high
office by their fellow students should demonstrate the integrity of the group.
It does not have, and never has had, any obligation to any person or group
to carry out any predetermined program or policy. It has been dedicated
for more than 50 years to what it believes is best for Penn State.
