FOREWORD

HI! A cheery word of greeting is a
by-word at Slippery Rock College. Pick
up the habit of smiling and bidding the
time; it is a custom that makes Slippery
Rock what everyone calls a "Friendly
Campus."
Speaking of custom and tradition, this
handbook, tlre GREEN AND WHITE, is
to help you review or learn for the first
time about your college. Your handbook
treats more than the traditional aspect
of college life. Included in these pages
are complete calendars of activities-the
goings on that will help you be THERE
on time. Get -t o know the various activities that flourish on Campus. Check
the elected offices held by students.
Learn the names of your faculty and administration and the things that have
made tradition at the "Rock." Look to
the future of Slippery Rock and make it
your future, and in the meantime, let
the GREEN AND WHITE serve as your
guide and friendly helper.

HISTORICAL TRADITION AT
SLIPPERY ROCK

Prompted by a desire for higher education for the children of the surrounding area, the founders of Slippery Rock
Normal School sold stock, received a la.nd
gr.ant of ten acres from Lewis Patt.erson
and erected three frame buildings 1n
1888.
For,mal recognition came on February
1, 1889, when Slippery Rock enrolled 168
students. The first graduating class in
1890 consisted of 11 members.
Former Presidents
Dr. James E . Morrow, an able and inspiring leader, was the first president at
Slippery Rock. Perhaps Dr. Albert E.
Maltby, who served as president for the
greatest length of time, left one of the
deepest imprints on the college. Maltby
Library is a memorial to him.

Slippery Rock became a State Teachers
College on August 13, 1927, although the

GREEN and WHITE'

9

institution had been authorized since
June 4, 1926, to gr.ant Bachelor of Science
degrees in Health and Physical Education, Elementary Education, and Secon_d ary Education.
Past and Future Objectives
In 1927 the objective of Slippery Rock
S. T . C. was to graduate well prepared
teachers for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and to contribute to the professional growth of the teachers in the
service area governed by the college.
Basically these objectives have not
changed; however, the resources of the
college are being enlarged, and the influence of Slippea-y Rock and its graduates is now much broader in scope.
During the current administration of
College President Norman N. Weisenfluh, agreement has been made to
purchase 250 acres of land adjoining
the college. Already work has begun
on a new men's dormitory which
will house 300 men. This year an auditorium seating 900 will be erected. By
1959 it is hoped the new S. R. Fieldhouse, which will also house a labora-

10

GREEN and WHITE

tory for the triaining. of teachers of the
Atypical child, will have been started.
Long range planning for the ne~ ten
years holds in the offing two more
men's dormitories, each to house 150
men, another women's dormitory for 150
women, an addition to Maltby Library,
a class room building, a student union
building, and a dining hall. It is also
planned that the master's degree in elementary education wm be offered, and
the college will be prepared to meet a
student growth exceeding 2,000.

MALTBY LIBRARY

The Ltbrary is primarily a plJa_ce . for
reading and study. Students are mv1ted
to make full use of its resources. The
Library has about 28,000 books arl:d
J.1e-g ularly receives more than 200 periodicals. These periodicals represent almost all areas of interest and r-a nge

GREEN and WHITE

23

from light pleasure r eading to t he
learned Journa;ls. The Library ,also subscribes to the leading newspapers in
western Pennsylva nia. A librarian is always on duty to help students to be-come
familiar with the use of the library and
to help in any problem that arises in
oonnection with library assignments.
The librarian on duty is always happy
to give service needed as far as time
allows, but due to the overcrowded conditions in the evening no reference
problems can be undertaken then. If the
student needs help he should arrange
to come to the Library during the day.
The Library h as an open stack system
which means that the student may
browse through the books and periodicals and make his own choice of materials; but if he wishe,s to take materials
from the Library for home use, he must
bring them to the loan desk and have
them charged to his name. Students at
Slippery Rock are to be commended on
the fine way in which they have cooperated with this plan.
The Library is open every weekday

to the schedule posted on v.arious centrally located bulletin boards.
Reserved books are put on special
shelves or are kept at the desk. Their
use is restricted so that all may have an
equal opportunity to use them. Books on
strict r eserve status are to be used
during libmry hours in the· Library, or
may be borro,wed for outside use any
time after 8:30 P. M. and returned by
9:00 A. M. the next morning. A fine of
fifteen cents for first hour and five cents
for each succeeding hour is charged for
over-due reserved material. Books not
for reference or reserve may be borrowed
as needed for ,a period not exceeding two
weeks. Such books may be renewed for
a longer period unless in demand. A fine
of two cents a day is charged for such
books not returned when due.

STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE

Any student is eligible, without charge,
for the services provided by the Student

Hie,a lth Service. Emergency illness or accident is cared for at any time. These in-

Students wishing to be absent from
class for medical or dental appointments
should take their appointment cards to
the Infimnary, and arrange with the
college nurse for a medical excuse before :the appointment hour. Illness requiring absence from class should be reported promptly to the Student Health
Office, either by phone or in person, in
order that the student may be granted
a medical ,excuse, as well as receive medic,al attention as soon as possible.
When it seems advisable, students will
be ,moved to the Infirmary and given
proper medical care. Dormitory students
are givien the service of the Infirmary
for :three consecutive days without
charge. The charge then will be at the
mte of $1.00 per day. Off-caJinpus students are charged at the rate of $2.00
per day beginning with the day of admission to the Infirmary. Students who
do not show a decided improvement at
the end of three days will be moved

26

home. If this is not advisable, pa.rents
will be expected to provide nursing service as long ras the physician deems it
necessary.
Students who are ill enough to require
a bed in the Infirmary need rest and
quiet for recovery. Visitors to the Infirmary will be admitued only on consent of the nurse during the following
times:
10:45 A. M. - 11 :15 A. M.

buzzer at the Infirmary entrance at the
rear of North Hall.
To safeguard the health of the individual, ias well as others on th:e campus,
students who become ill while at home,
on week-ends or vacations, are urged not
to return to the campus until they are
ready to attend classes.
Equipment is available for the student's use. There are ,a limited number

of articles such as hot water bottles,
heating pads, etc. So that they can be
used most efficiently you are permitted
to borrow them for three days. Failure
to return the articles or make· arrangements for increasing the rental pe::iod
will result in a 10 cent f,i ne for each day
until returned.
Office Hours

STUDENT ACCIDENT-ILLNESS
INSURANCE

All Slippery Rock students are covered
by accident-illness insurance.
This action was recommended by Student Government and was approved by
the College Board of Trustees in May,
1955
Slippery Rock thus becomes the
first· teachers college in Pennsylvania to
offer such broad insurance coverage to
students. Students enrolled in the College are automatioally included in the
insurance plan.
The cost of this student insurance is
as yet undetermined. It will cost the
student no more than $6 per semester
for insurance coverage, and the cost
may be less. Cooperative Activities will
pay the balance of the amount to the
insurance company for the acade~c
year. A summer policy for students 1s
optional at an additional rate. Those
desiring coverage of this kind n:eed not
decide until the close of the 1958-59
school year.
A printed statement issued b:v the in-

surance company listing the extent of
coverage and benefits will be given to
each student at the time of registration. To take advantage of these benefits , students must report promptly to
the college nurse all cases of accidents
or illness requiring medical attention.

THE PURPOSE OF
COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES

'Cooperative Activities is one of the
most useful organizations on t he campus
and through it the student body at
Slippery Rock is able to do many things
and to furnish many improvements of
an extracurricular n ature. Prior to 1934
the college bookstore was owned and
operated by the college, the equipment
for athletic teams was ordered through
the cent ral purchasing agency at Harrisburg, and all social events, lectures and
entertainment were arranged for and
paid for by the college. In most instances
this was a very inflexible way of
h andling such matters and it often
took months to replace books and supplies
n eeded in the book store.
In 1934 an opinion was rendered by

46

GREEN and WHITE

the Attorney General that each S.t ate
Teachers College could have a student
cooperative association which would
not only operate the Book Store but would
conduct the arrangements for student
athletics, social events, entertainments,
publications, and many other similar
activities. The opinion enabled our
college to start and develop Cooperative Activities, which has grown to be
a very sound and useful organization
and which has provided many benefits
and pleasures for the student body.
Profit earned in the bookstore provided
the money for equipping and starting the
Grill. Cooperative Activities purchased the
electric football score board, the basketball score board, uniforms and many
instruments for our band, three television sets, three juke boxes, the furniture in the Hut, the present bookstore which is regarded as one of the
finest in any college in the United
staites, and the Hub consisting of the
commuters rooms and lounging quarters
in the corridor. Sever.al vending machines

_Besides what has already been accompllshed there are still many other improvements which can be made for the
bettermen~ of the student body. Many
of the thmgs ,a ccomplished in the past
have been suggested by students, while
?ther~ were suggested by the admln1strat10n; but in all cases the steps to be
taken were given careful consideration
and debate by Student Government before
authorization was granted to proceed.
Since all money: paid by students into
the Activities Fund is budgeted out for
support of student activities, it is only
through the accumulation of a reserve
through profit, that these extra things
can be done.

INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS

The varsity and intramural athletic
programs, improved and organized as
they are today, offer many advantages to
all students desiring to participate in
them. It is wise for every college student
to take part in a branch of athletics
suited to his physical ability and needs.
The extent to which athletics should be

GREEN and WHITE

GREEN and WHITE

indulged in depends upon conditions.
Above all, no .s tudent should be permitted
to participate in athletics in excess of the
time required to preserve his health,
when his studies are endangered. Athletics,
supposedly, should aid the student in
his school wor k, not handicap him. Although athletics may interfere with
scholastic work, there is evidence that
a student can participate in athletics
and still excel in scholarship. Neither
should a student, under any circumstance participate in athletics to such
a degree that his health will be endangered. Athletic enthusiasm should be
tempered according to the limits of bodily
endurance. . Athletics as referred to at
Slippery Rock include (1) many of the
recognized competitive sports; (2) most of
the activities of the recognized intramural program. Many students are
physically unable to participate in the
more strenuous competitive program, but
every student can find some activity to
suit his physical capacity in the intramural program. A careful study of one's
physical condition and needs, supplemented by the advice of a leader in the

fields, puts one in a position to take
a wise choice from the various activities
offered in the intramural program.

Synchronized swimming is the interpretation and expression of music
through aquatic movements. This comparatively new form requires endurance,
not necessarily speed; versatility in the
use of all strokes, nut specialization in
one; a keen sense of rhythm; and the
specific development of ability to adapt
one's strokes to the average strokes of
the group. In this type of swimming,
