Committee !i4akeiPbps For Carnival By KAREN HYNECKEAL The Spring Week carnival may not take place until April 29 but already plans are being, made for it. Complete carni val information and applica tions for entry will be sent to each fraternity and sorority on Monday, Skip Berents, car nival co-chairman, said Thurs day. Applications will also be avail able at the Hetzel Union desk. The applications must be re turned with a $25 deposit by March d, Berents said. Groups should indicate which category they wish to enter and should give some details of how they in tend to present their skits and set up their booths, he said. This year, Berents said, groups may enter one category for the float parade and a different cate gory for the carnival. "In the case of the carnival. we want to avoid duplications of presentation, so we may have fo return a few skit ideas," he said. He added that a "first come, first served" policy will probably be followed and that any dupli cations will be returned by March 10. The $25 deposit will be returned after the carnival to any group which has taken in 1000 tickets or more. The tickets will be valued at 2 1 / 2 cents each. If a group takes in fewer than 1000 tickets, it will receive the cor responding amount. This year more money may be spent on Spring Week than was permitted last year, Berents said, Last spring, $75 could be spent on materials and con struction of floats, skits and booths and $lO could be spent for publicity. This year, a total of $lOO may be spent. The point breakdown for 'he carnival this year is as follows: (1) 100 points (maximum) for or iginality of skit, (2) 50 points for adherence to theme, (3) 100 points for good taste, and (4) 100 points for taking in 1000 tickets. SGA Hears Dennis On Four-Term Plan The -administration has no illusions that the four-term plan effective this summer will be an overnight success, Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academic research, said Thursday night. Dennis spoke to the SGA Assembly in an effort to gain their assistance in encouraging students to attend the University this summer. Contrary to popular belief, the four-term plan is not a "quarter system," Dennis said. Because the credit arrangement of the courses is different from the quer ter system, the plan should be called a "semester-credit" sys tem, he said. Dennis fold the Assembly that in order to grasp the rationale behind the University's adop tion of the four-term plan, two aspects—time and space—must be considered. "Time is a more precious com modity than it was even a decade ago," Dennis said. The old style academic calen dars were designed for time off between semesters because the society was agrarian (agricultural) and students need to worky at home, Dennis said. Time has not moved rapidly : • .• • r STATE' COLLEGE. PA.; SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18. 1961 --Collegian Photo by Paul Lows JAZZ ENTHUSIASTS still have one more day to buy tickets for Sunday's Ray Charles concert. Jazz Club members will continue to man their booth today on the ground floor of the Hetzel Union Building. • Merce Cunningham To Perform Tonight Merce Cunningham will display his "way out" capacity for the modern dance at 8:30 tonight in Schwab. Sixty additional student tickets have been made available and may be obtained this morning at the Hetzel Union desk. Cunningham, who will appear with his dance company; is the leading figure in the so-called avant. garde movement in the contemporary dance. From his first solo appear ances in 1946, which led to trans-continental tours, to his recent appearance at the Phoe nix Theater in New York, Cun ningham-has earned the repu tation as "the most consistently daring experimenter in the field,' according to Time maga zine. Rain Will Continue Through Tomorrow Today should be cloudy and slightly cooler with occasional rain. The high temperature read ing will T,)e about 42 degrees. Rain will continue tonight and temperatures should become cold er. The rain may change to snow late tonight and then end tomor row. Tonight's low will be about 30 degrees. A maximum of 34 de grees is predicted for tomorrow: in universities, Dennis said, but now they must accelerate in the national as well as the indi vidual interests. "One way of insuring the Com monwealth a return on its in vestment in us is an effective use of space," Dennis said. lie cited the University's year round use of its physical facilities as its way of returning the tax payers' investment. After Dennis' talk, the As- - sembly confronted him with a barrage of questions.on the plan. Sue Sherman, secretary-treas urer, asked how class spirit under the plan would be affected. Dennis answered by . saying that under the plan "new identifica tions" and "new loyalties" will probably be formed. There is a possibility that there will be an elimination of the sophomore standing, Dennis explained. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE For the past few years, Cun ningham's company has been praised as one of the most bril- 1 liant in the field of modern dance by critics viewing the company on its extensive tours of the Unit ed States. Cunningham's most recent Eu ropean experience was in the fall of 1960 with his partner, Carolyn Brown, and musicians John Cage and David Tudor. During this tour. the group was invited to appear at the International Festival of Con temporary Music in Venice and the West Berlin Festival. In every place where the Cun ningham Company performed, they created a furor. Along with several controversial elements of Cunningham's dance, his work is mainly noted for its clearness and brilliance, These qualities led him to be invited to choreograph "The Sea sons" for the Ballet Society in 1946 with Cage and his designer Isamu Noguchi. In more recent work with his company, Cunningham has had the collaboration of painter Robert Rauschenberg and sev eral "advanced" composers such as Morton Feldman, Christian - Wolff and Conlon Nancarrow. All of Cunningham's sketches are about dancing and do not at tempt to tell t o story even though they ' may be classified as lyric, comic or disturbing. Ceiga to Present Recital A varied program of organ mu sic will be presented by George E. Ceiga, associate professor of music and University organist, in a recital at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Schwab Auditorium. U.N. Heirs: Congo Plan UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (A) Three Asian-African nations put before the UN Security Council yesterday their plan for peace in the Congo—including use of force as a last resort if necessary by UN forces to stop civil war.- -U: S. Delegate Adiai E. Stevenson told reporters the Tickets Still Remain For Ray Charles Thirty-five hundred tickets have been sold for the Ray Charles Concert to be held at EI:00 p.m. tomorrow in Recrea tion Hall. . Tickets are still available at the Hetzel Union desk on the ground floor of the HUB at $1 for Jazz Club members, and $1.75 for non members. According to Jazz Club presi dent, Al Pollon,' "No one knows what the program will be, nei ther we, nor Charles' manager, not even Charles himself. He may do many of his well-known num bers or he may do something en tirely new. He will play what he feels and what he thinks the aud ience wants." This is characteristic of Charles. It is his firm convic tion that music should express people's true feelings. Accord ing to Charles. with every bit of music he writes or performs, "I try to bring out my soul so that • people can understand what I am. I want people, to feel my soul." Although RaSr Charles is dedi cated to his music, and is seldom far from it in his thoughts, be has a variety of other interests. Like many things he does, even his hobbies seem like amazing feats in view of his blindness. He is an expert domino player and almost unbeatable at cards es pecially at whist and dirty hearts. University Deserves Extra Funds— alder (This is the fifth in a series of articles concerning President Walker's request for increased state appropriations.) • Penn State has earned the right to ask for greater public support by serving the Commonwealth as no other institu- Mon has for the last 100 years, according to President Eric A. Walker. The University has requested an additional $6 million or a total of $23.1 million in state appropriations for 1961-62. Gov ernor David Lawrence recom mended a standstill budget on education of $17.1 million until his cepcial committee presents its final report.
