North To Start
Trial Program
By DIANE LEWIS
Collegian Staff Writer
The idea of a North Halls experimental
dorm' program goes from the planning board to
the sounding board tomorrow night, when the
North Halls Council presents a forum discus
sion at 7 p.m. in the lounge of Warnock Union
Building.
The program, in its earliest stages of
development involves "total education, ac
cording to Joe Manfred, North Halls Council
president.
The program is aimed at offering opp
ortunity for an educational and cultural ex
perience for the students of North Campus, and
at decentralizing University offices, such as
having counsellors from the Division of Coun
seling set up within the area to give personal
help to students.'
Manfred emphasized that the program is
still in its planning stages. Tomorrow night's
open meeting will give North Halls students the
chance to voice opinions and offer suggestions.
'Open to All Suggestions
"We're starting from scratch. There are
ideas floating around that must be tied
together. We're open to all suggestions, said
Manfred.
The ideas include seminars on current
topics, experimental film programs, ex
perimental music groups and discussions head
ed by faculty members on subjects not offered
as University Courses.
"What we're aiming at is to give the stu
dents the opportunity they wouldn't normally
get anywhere else, said Manfred. "As an ex
perimental program, we aren't limited at all,
but we have to find out what the students
want.
`Total Experience
Manfred sees the plan as a'!total educa
tional experience." John Romano, co-ordinator
of North Halls, said the idea is based on "the
assumption that when a student goes to Penn
State, he is concerned first of all with getting
an academic education and preparing for a
vocation.
"Students have found that they have other
needs when they are exposed to other aspects
of life on campus. It is the function of the ex
perimental program to identify what those
needs are and to meet them.
Romano said students are often frustrated
with the size of the University. "The University
is the place to expeiment, to find yourself. The
program is aimed at getting students involv
ed, he said.

idea of an experimental situation, Romano
said, but no guidelines are being set up by Old
Math.
-Administration 'Resource' Only
Timothy Langston, assistant dean of
students is directing the Administration's in
volvement with the program. Langston said the
Administration will not be in control.
"I will be there as a resource area. I don't
particularly want Old Main to influence the
project. There will be general needs supplied
by the University, but if the program is to ad
minister the needs of the students, its neces
sary to involve the students, he said.
Langston defined his role as "listening and
providing whatever resources I can.
Romano's viewpoint of the Administration's
role coincided' with Langston. "I believe the
direction is going to have to come from the
North Halls Council working together with the
staff and students. We shouldnt be knocking on
someone's door at Old Main. They're telling us
we have to decide for ourselves. The burden of
decision, what we're going to do and how we're
going to do it, rests on the students, he said..
Faculty Asked To Help •
One aspect of the proposed program in
volves faculty participation. Langston said the
faculty have "a lot to contribute." The plan for
faculty-led discussion groups gives those who
have a special interest or avocation the chance
to contribute and share that interest with the
students in a self-structured course.
This idea of courses taught for exploring
interests is similar to the Creation program
established in East Halls last year but "is not a
duplication of that program, according to
Langston.
The experimental program in North Halls
will offer courses that are not taught on cam
pus, art, music, culture and seminar discus
sions. "The residence halls are a lab for learn
ing, not just a place to eat and sleep, said
Manfred.
Langston, in agreement, said, "The •stu
dents should be getting something out of the
residence halls so that when they leave they'll
say it was complete.
"But, he added, "a program which ex
pects to work well must be planned well. This
is where the interest of the students plays its
role, he said.
Romano, Langston and Manfred are all
confident and enthusiastic about the program.
"Like any new program, it will start off slow
but I have faith it will catch on if we have the
right programs, If we don't, we'll get them,
said Manfred.
