PAGE SIX Pattee and Eng Libraries Donate 1 1 000 Publications Nearly 1,000 engineering publications were recently given by the Pattee and Engineering Libraries to an army research library to aid it in rebuilding a collection destroyed by fire. The Army Engineers Research Library at the Water ways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Miss., destroyed last October, had one of the finest col lections of engineering material , in the United States. At the request of Col. Ed mund Lang, director of the sta tion and former Penn State pro fessor, a survey was made of the University collections and some 1,000 publications were selected and given to the de stroyed library by the Pattee and Engineering libraries. The destruction of the Army Engineers Research Library was a severe loss to the engineering profession and its former service can probably never be restored, 'Thomas L. Minder, engineering li brarian, said. Many items, parti cularly the card catalogue, were irreplaceable, he said. The catalogue contained some 270,000 cards which provided a complete index to all published information relating to water ways, hydraulics and soil mech anics. If was so valuable that plans had been suggested to have if microfilmed for use by universities and experiment stations throughout the world. For rebuilding the library's col-' lection, Lang has made requests to other university libraries and the Library of Congress in Washes ington, D.C., for contributions,, Minder said. Though plans are being made to rebuild the library, it will take, many years to bring the collec tion to its former completeness, Minder said. Dzvonik Hits Liberal Party's Election Plans Michael Dzvonik, University party chairman, said yesterday that he hoped Liberal party would endorse an entire slate of officers from one political group, rather than split the endorsement be tween parties. Dzvonik's comment came as a result of Liberal party's decision Sunday night to endorse Dennis Foianini, Campus party candidate,. for president; John Witmer, Uni versity party candidate for vice president: and Joan Cavanagh, University party candidate for secretary-treasurer. "Most certainly it is the man! himself who is chosen, but. you must also consider what he stands] for," Dzvonik said, "I do not understand how you can choose a man from one party and then turn around and endorse; two others with some conflicting! Ideas," he continued. • Dzvonik said that the Univer sity and Campus parties did not agree on all issues of the election, and therefore, he could not see how Liberal party could back candidates from both Parties and have a beneficial endorsement. LA Council Plans 'Frosh' Handbook The Liberal Arts Student Coun cil decided to look into the possi bility of publishing a handbook for incoming freshmen in the Col lege of the Liberal Arts at a meeting this week, Other plans for Orientation Week and the counseling of new students also were discussed. In other business, Moms Bak er, vice president, announced that the council constitution will be revised to comply with the Uni versity four-term plan. It was also announced that council members will attend a reception on May 18 to meet the college deans and department heads. Dr. Robert W. Green, professor of history, will speak on "Louis XIV, The Pompous Innovator" at the May 9 lecture series, spon sored by the council, --This would be a better world if we had more wild life in our forests and less in the big cities.

"Wednesday night I will ask each subcommittee to write its separate part of the Constitution and submit it to the Executive Committee within two weeks," Haber said. Haber said he plans to call an Assembly meeting as soon as new officers are installed to approve the revised Constitution, but be fore submitting it to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs for final approval.

PENNSYLVANIA Forimann Talks On Ag Research Al Faculty Club The salami, liverwurst, onion, cheese sandwich, affectionately called "SLOCS" was given a new significance at the Faculty Lunch eon Club yesterday by Henry B. Fortmann, assistant director of the Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. Speaking on "Our Daily SLOCS and the A.E.S. System," Fort mann used SLOCS to repre sent food used in the research done by the Agricultural Experi ment Station System. Continuing along .this line, he jokingly sug gested that TOCS, Thoughtful Ob servers of Contemporary Society, change their name to mean toma to, olive and cheese sandwich "since food is such a vital prob lem in our society." "Every man, woman and child should be concerned about food production since their very sur vival may depend on it," he said. Calling "Ag Hill" the upper reaches of campus, Fortmann said that his own Peace Corps mission is to "foster understanding of ag ricultural research in the central part of the campus. Too many see agricultural researchers as green tinted fat men sitting on money bags holding $2O bills." Agricultural experimenting is important because agriculture is the largest and most vital industry in the country, Fortmann ex plained. He said that the Univer sity has experimental stations in all but one county in the state. These stations are under the supervision of professional staff members who regularly file prog ress reports with the agriculture department. Fortmann called these stations "singularly success ful" but added that there is still a need for more research. He concluded with what he' called his daily prayer: "Give us this day our daily SLOCS and, lead us not into starvation ...

The article stated that the ac tion will be taken in response to a university decision to postpone the abolishment of the compul sory ROTC program until a state ment on it is received from the Department of Defense. Student leaders plan an orderly and completely controlled demon stration, the article said. Registra tion is scheduled for those wishing, to participate. Name cards, but-' tons or arm bands will be issued, to the participants for identifica-1 tion. A student spokesman said that the purpose of the demonstration will be "to gain publicity and in fluence public opinion in favor of abolition of compulsory ROTC."

Pray tell, whatever happened to "good taste"? Is it a hereditary characteristic lost through mutation from atomic explosions? Whatever it is, its lack is horribly evident on the local scene. With carefree abandon, pointed finger and pain fully obvious evidence I accuse some of the ladies from the Phila. & N.Y.C. area of a total lack of discretion in their wearing apparel. Even in the studio mine weary eye has been insulted by observing female amazons wearing these ridiculous short skirts, exposing the most shapeless legs west of the Congo. Mind you, while some intriguing Parisian scamp wearing a costume of this nature would invite a second look (though she'd have enough common sense to select the occasion), a second look in the case of the above mentioned girl is pure sympathy. Think of your audience . . . if not, at least pity them. Not to mention flambouyant hairdo's, excessive cosmetics, loudness vocally and the übiquitous gum chewing. Before proceeding it might be best to exercise some restraint before we lose their trade altogether. More gripes . . , When a photographer loses his artistic integrity it happens while observing people making their proof selections. It stuns us to find that so often people select the worst proof—because it appeals to them. When will you realize that a portrait is meant for a recipient and not for keeping and thus the selec tion should be made by friends without you influencing their decisions—then hallelujah! Ah vanity—thou art a sorority girl (men are no different). COLOR party pix of DPhiE, SPE and Phi Kappa Sig will be in our display case today. Yes, we've again started photographing informal groups of men in color, after lunch at their fraternity, Call for infor mation, Will be starting fraternity composites next week. If you're happy with the routine composite you now have read no further but if a truly handsome job would appear to you (in time for early Fall delivery) then do besiege us. Will the Phi Gams and Thetas send a represetative down tomorrow. My Vespa motor scooter is up for sate . . . • Great shape, great price. —bill coleman Visiting German Prof Dr. Horst B.
