3000 Students Involved
In Study of Impressions
Close to three thousand students are now taking part in
a survey conducted by the' English department to answer the
question: Who is the Penn State student? Dr. Henry W. Sams,
head of the department of English, said.
Students enrolled in English courses, 1,2, 3, 12, 16 and 18,
hqve been asked to submit in es
say form their impressions of the
people they have encountered at
the University.
It should be made quite clear,
continued Sams, that this is not
an attempt to draw a picture ofl
the Penn State prototype, but to
get an appraisal of the 'students'
attitudes toward his association.
It will also enable the depart
ment to get a general idea of
their writing ability without in
vading the privacy of the class
room, he added.
When asked if he had any ideas
about the results, Sams remarked
that he expected to discover or
confirm a hunch that students feel
less "collegueship" with the facul
ty than is desirable.
Perhaps these papers will show
that the general student body
doesn't understand the profes
sor's attitude toward his class and
vice versa, he said.. At any rate,,
any remedy for this will have to
be the University's concern rath
er than the English Department's.
These papers don't have to be
signed by the student and will
not be graded, Sams added.
The essays, which must be sub
mitted no later than Monday, will
be studied during the vacation,
and the results are expected to
be made known before the end
of the semester.

Prosser Issues
Caution Appeal
To Bicyclists
The Department of Security is
sued an appeal to bicycle riders
recently asking them to remain
off sidewalks and use extreme
caution on the roads and streets.
The request came from Charles
A. Prosser, safety coordinator.
Prosser said more bicycles will
be in use now. He asked motorists
during the spring to be on the
alert for cyclists in the streets.
"This is a stop-gap measure
which arose from administrative
discussions on the traffic situa
tion," Prosser said. "It is the first
time such an appeal has been is
sued," he said, "and the issue will
remain in the appeal stage until
a final decision is made."
The Campus Patrol will just
remind students not to ride on the
sidewalks, he said. No formal pen
allies will be issued.
"We are hoping to . enlist the
cooperation of- the students,"
Prosser said, "and not make a
formal regulation right now."

EE Summer
includes 13
. Thirteen undergraduate courses in electrical engineering
will be offered for the summer term, Lawrence J. Perez,
assistant dean of engineering and architecture said Wednes
day. •
This is, practically a full undergraduate class
Ihe said. The courses to be offered
I are E.E. 33, 133, 135, 35, 39, 139,
41, 141, 221, 470, 471, 8 and E.E.
Lab 8, he said.
The Department of Electrical
Engineering had formerly decided
to offer only one summer course,
E.E. 813, an associate degree
course, according to William D.
O'Connell, assistant professor of
electrical engineering.
This decision was made on
the basis of a survey of 580 of
the approximately 700 electrical
engineering students who were
asked to indicate the summer
courses they would take, he
said. The response showed only
11 per cent planning to take
summer courses, too small a
number to justify offering a full
program, he said.-
However, a petition submitted
in February by Modesto Martinez,
Jr., junior in electrical engineer
ing from Philadelphia, was one
of the reasons for revising the
summer schedule of classes, Perez

said. The petition gave five elec
trical engineering courses and
listed an average of 25 students
planning to take each course,
Martinez said. •
The courses listed on the pe
tition were E.E. 41, 141, 221, 29
and 19. Three of these courses
are being . offered this summer,
Martinez said, but two which had
the greatest number of signatures
on the petitions, E.E. 29 and 19,
are not scheduled.
O'Connell said that these
courses are not scheduled be,
cause of a staff shortage. Fac
ulty members are under 10-
month contracts and many have
prior commitments for the sum
mer months,• he explained.
The University requires that
each class below the 400 level
must have 15 students registered.
However, the summer engineer
ing courses will be offered even
though 15 students will not at
tend each course, Perez said.
