THURSDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1960 Ag College Plans 170-510 Minute Labs By, PAT DYER (This is the third in a series of articles describing the adjust ments planned in the various colleges for the four-term year.) Students taking courses in the biological sciences may be scheduling from 170 to 510 minutes of lab next year under changes planned by the College of Agriculture because of the four-term system. Laboratory scheduling for such courses as Zoology •25 Botany 27, or Bacteriology 6 will be made in one of two ways, ac cording to Russell B. Dickerson, associate dean of the college, and Paul M. Althouse, chairman of the agriculture course study com mittee. Three-credit labs may be sched uled in one double period for 170 minutes or two single 75-minute periods. Zoology 25 will probably operate under the two single oe niods plan while Botany 27 and Bacteriology G will be run on a double-period schedule. A few three-credit and most four-credit courses will carry two double period labs for a total of 340 minutes. Such courses as Bacteriology 1, Bot any 1 and AgßioChem 1 will op erate on this plan. Other four credit courses as AgßioChem 35 will have three double period labs a week for a total of 510 minutes. Regardless of the lab periods RED HOUSE TRIP PLANNING MEETING Penn State Outing Club 7 P.M. Dec. 15 112 BUCKHOUT involved, the biological science courses will still carry two lec tures each week. Some courses such as AgßioChem 1 will also have a recitation period each week. Several changes in basic se quences and course credits have also been planned for the new system, Althouse said. Gener ally, the days of the five-credit courses are over with the ad vent of the new system, he said. Agronomy 1, now a five-credit course will be changed to a four credit one next year. he said. The 400 AgßioChem series which now consists of two five-credit courses (437 and 438) will probably be changed to three three credit courses, he added. This type of change will create more courses with a lighter work load for the student in any one term, Aithouse said. It will also allow him to use more credits for electives, he added.

This is just what the wom en on the second floor of Pol lock 3 had yesterday when a hot water main burst and released billows of steam and hot water from a Univent, a device for temperature control, installed at the end of the hall. Water gushed from the venti lator for more than 25 minutes as women frantically rescued ar ticles from the floors of their rooms and stuffed towels under the doors to prevent more water from seeping into the rooms. - .4-..•,..

Every Friday Nile -- 8:00-12:30 In Waring According to Otto Mueller, di rector of the Department of Hous ing, a stairwell door, designed for use in emergency only, had been used by, women going to and from the building and that gradually enough snow and ice had accumulated under the door to hold it ajar all the time. Cold air from the outside as cended the stairwell and froze a pipe which feeds hot water to the air vent on the second floor, causing it to burst and fill the hall with water and steam. Mueller said that the problem's recurrence could be prevented if students living in the Pollock area would enter and exit the building by the niain entrance only, ;),t nifty little gifty handy little dandy traveling companion The Armory, built in 1890, served as the University's• first gymnasium.
