PAGE EIGHT Prof Discusses Dept. Head Role By ELLIE HUMMER Will the department head in a university have a worth while job to do in the future or has he gone out with the horse and buggy in this jet age? Arthur Brayfield, head of the psychology department, asked yesterday. In a talk to the Faculty Luncheon Club entitled “The Clark Presents Cultural Act To Accent Arts Senator —Joseph S. Clark (D., Pa'.) introduced a bill to the Sen ate Thursday that would estab lish a program of grants to states for the development of projects in the arts. The bill, labeled the “National Cultural Development Act,” is aimed at “establishing a coherent and continuing national policy and outlohk toward the arts,” Clark said. According to the bill, the individual states will be al lowed to initiate their own par ticular projects and programs, he said. "In this century,” Clark said,] “the United States has ceased to; be a backward child in the arts] and has become a leader.” Our] artists are in the first rank of creative and performing ability, he said. We do not need ‘to apologize for their quality, Clark said. They have given impetus to many new directions in which the arts all over the world are moving to day, he added. “Though we boast of top-flighti performers and artists,” Clark! said, “we are still confronted; with the problem that cultural] projects constantly run into eco-i nomie difficulties.” Gifted stu dents do not have adequate local outlets for their talents. Readers to Be Selected The University Readers will hold tryouts at 4 p.m. Thursday, in 311 Sparks. Any selections which are pre sented must not exceed five min utes and may be of a prose, poet ry or dramatic nature.

Market Street York, Pennsylvania Department Head A Jet Age Anachronism,” Brayfield first es tablished several basic criteria re garding education at a first rate university, and then discussed ihe functions and climate of the uni versity in which the. department head must work. The primary function of the university is to develop schol arship which can be nuiured only where there is responsible use of freedom by the faculty, a mutual respect among the fac ulty and a permeating idealism, he staled. In a university community the primary figure must be the schol ar who is an officer of the public trust. Brayfield said. This scholar must not be institution oriented, he explained. Within the university, the gov ernment must be invested in the .department, not the college or the ]school, he said. The primary officer for govern ing at the university would then have to be the department head, he added. In describing a lew character istics of academic life, Bray field listed disorder and the un finished business which con stantly face the faculty mem bers. The littered desk has be come the badge of office for a professor, according to Brays field. The department head fits into jthis academic community with jwell defined functions and roles, :he said. The primary job of the department head is to maintain land develop a first rate depart- Iment. Within this department the head must act as chief innovator, conservator, transmitter, interpre ter, evaluator and decision maker, he said. The latter role involves decisions on “who will teach what and when,” the important factor | being to provide the teacher With Uninterrupted blocks of time for jstudy and research, Brayfield added. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA HEc Offers Practical Management Babies, buying, budgets and biscuits are all a part of the practicum which every home economics major takes during her junior or senior year. The three-credit practicum consists of living for eight weeks in one of the home management houses on campus and sharing in all the household duties. . - Hostessing, cooking, buying, laundering and serving as house keeper are among the chores that are shared by the eight girls who live in the house at one time. Another phase of life in the home management houses is the baby (usually a student’s child) child each house has to care for on a part-time basis. During his stay, which is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to. noon on Saturdays, and two nights a week, the baby is fed, bathed and dressed by the girl in charge of him. Although there are four houses, only three are in operation at the present time. Each house has four bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room and nursery with a recre ation room, laundry and a work room in the basement. The three houses, which are called Amy Gardner, Catherine Beecher and Florence Benedict, were named after influential per sons at the University who de voted time to the development of home management in the college.
