Summer Alterations
To Give Library New
Light, Books, Shelves
The college library will under­
go extensive alterations this sum­
mer, according to Miss Forness,
head librarian. A complete system
of fluorescent lighting will replace
the outmoded system presently in
use. The new system will consist
of 16 eight-foot banks of lights and
eight nine-foot banks of lights,
which will provide lights over each
stack in the library and over the
reading tables.
Another major alteration in the
library will be the replacement of
wooden stacks now in use by mod­
ern steel stacks. Since the new
stacks will be higher and longer
than the old ones, considerable
added space will be available. In
addition, a new charging desk will
be installed.
Miss Forness also stated that
new books, amounting to over a
thousand dollars, have been order­
ed and will be received about June
15. Most of the new volumes will
be in the fields of social studies,
art, English, and French.
In addition, a number of new
fiction books have been added to
the library: “The Wa3rward Bus,”
by Steinbeck; “Lydia Bailey,” by
Roberts; “The Quarry,” by Walk­
er; “Green Grass of Wyoming,”
by O’Hara; “Nearby,” by Yates;
“Happy The Land,” by Rice; and
Pavilion of Women,” by Buck.

Editors Expect
Delivery Tomorrow
The editors of “The Conneauttean,” Carol Carr and Louise
Johnson, announce that the Ashby
Publishing Company of Erie has
promised delivery by May 15, to­
morrow. The long-awaited event
is at hand!
The yearbook, a Junior Class
project, will be of an entirely dif­
ferent style in comparison with
those of previous years. All of the
photography was done at the Col­
lege under the supervision of Dr.
Boss, Photography Club advisor.
His staff consisted of Peter Jung,
William Riffner, Harry Kuntz, and
Russell Horn. A new Photo-Tone
cover is used, depicting a scene of
Loveland Hall.
The picture dividers — in some
instances humorous — are approp­
riate to the general make-up.
Throughout the entire book the
editors have maintained a certain
modernity, with bled-edged pages
and lower-case lettering. The ad­
vertising section consists of a list
of patrons.
Books will be given out to the
students in the lobby of Haven
Hall in the following manner. All
upperclassmen (Seniors, Juniors,
and Sophomores) will caU for
theirs on Monday, May 19, at noon
or following the evening meal.
Freshmen will receive their books
after dinner on Tuesday, May 20.
There is no charge for The year­
book, since all costs are defrayed
by the Student Activity Fund.
However, there is a limited supply
of extra books available. Anyone
wishing to purchase an extra copy
will be required to pay the price
of $2.50. Any one-semester fresh­
man (entering in January) is re­
quired to pay one half of that
price, $1.25.

student body.
“We strongly appreciate their
participation in social, musical,
dramatic, and athletic organiza­
tions.”
The executive stated that one
outstanding advantage accruing to
assignees while they lived here
was the comparatively low cost of
room and board. He expressed the
fear, based on his own observa­
tions, that living expenses at State
College would continue to be
“awfully, high” next year.

Election Today

Roving Reporter

The results of the recent elec­
tion held to select a new Student
Council president and to deter­
mine whether the student activ­
ity fee should be increased have
not been determined, according to
Miss Dora Noxon, incumbent
president of the Council.
Inasmuch as the method in
which the election was held is con­
sidered partially unsatisfactory, a
meeting will be held this afternoon
at 4‘40 in Haven Hall to deter­
mine what action should be taken.
Miss Noxon stated that the collec­
tion of ballots waS conducted in an
unsatisfactory manner and that

College To Offer
Driver-Ed Course

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

Edinboro will offer a three-sem­
ester-hour college course in Driv­
er Education and Training for
High School Teachers in the threeweeks’ Post Summer Session of
1947, August 4 to 22 inclusive, ac­
cording to an announcement by
Dr. L. H. Van Houten, President.
At the request of the Pennsylvania
Department of Public Instruction,
four teachers colleges have been
designated to offer this course
during the summer session. Ed­
inboro, . Millersville, California,
and Indiana are the colleges at
which the driving instruction will
be given.
Dr. Offner will teach the new
course. Having had ‘ previous ex­
perience in this field, he recently
attended an American Automobile
Association safety school, for one
week, at Teachers College, Col­
umbia University, where he took
various tests, such as the VisualAction Test, Distance-Judgement
Test, Finger-Reaction Test, and
Mechanics-of-Operation Test.
The local course has been work­
ed out to combine classroom and
behind-the-wheel units so that the
latter can be taught immediately
following the related classroom
units.
Two dual-controlled automobiles
will be furnished by the Harris­
burg and Erie branches of the
A.A.A. Since only two such cars
will be available, the enrollment
must be limited to 24 students. If
there are not 24 enrollees, the
course will be opened to the col­
lege students. There is a possibil­
ity that this course may also be
offered in the fall term of ’47.
The cost of the course is $18.00
for tuition plus a $1.25 activity
fee. Students must purchase their
own text and test materials. These
will be available at Cooper’s Book
Store at a cost of less than $5.00.
Interest on the part of schools,
insurance companies, and the pub­
lic has brought about this new
course, which is being promoted
largely by the A.A.A. The primary
aim at Edinboro is to give instruc­
tion to teachers in service so that
they may be able to teach safety
education at their own schools.

continued despite the inclement
weather.
The Collegians have added two
new players to their roster. Joe
LaSlavic, erstwhile Red Raider
wrestler, will see third-base duty
in future games. Bill Schildmacher
has been signed as an outfielder.
A welcome gift of playing equip­
ment has come the Collegians’
way. The equipment was donated
by the father of Charles Mullen,
Edinboro student.

Bill Schildmacher will take over
the graduating Mickey Schlindwein’s job of student-mentor of
the Edinboro mermen next fall.
Bill was a member of the 1946-47
Red Raiders.
From a reliable source, it has
been learned that Edinboro will be
a power to contend with on the
gridiron next fall. In addition to
hold-overs from last season’s
team several promising prospects
from district high schools will
make their appearance in the Red
and White lineup.
