Phi Sig* Admits
Twelve Pledgees

Rally Stresses
Problems, Goals

Carver Auditorium was the scene
of a most lively and unusual sales
rally on Thursday, November 5,
1959.
With a crowd of approximately
600 present, Dr. Thomas B. Martin ,
director of the business education
department, introduced the speakers , Ralph D. Myrick and Dr. G.
Herbert True. Both men are very
active in the business world.
Mr. Myrick, sales analyst, stressed th e importance in the sales field
of bei n g "problem-centered" instead of product-centered, while Dr.
Tr u e, creativity consultant, urged
the establishment of your own goals
in salpsmansViin and in lifp

Myrick cited the fact that 25% of
the nation's sales people sell 75%
of the national products. The law
of salesmanship, he observed , was
"a s you thi n k , so will it be." There
is no room for repetitious actions
and trite phrases — there is room
for ideas." He intimated that every
customer has a problem. It is the
salesman's j ob to find out what it is,
and aid in its solution. "If there's
no problem, there's no sale," Myrick stated. Tho speaker listed the
worst habits affecting American
business as, "the late start , the early lunch, and the early quit."
Dr. True discussed the American
trends that find foreign imports
underselling U.S. goods and the
waste of time involved fixing the
blame on others.
In attendance at the Sales Rally
wore many area business men,
salesmen, and company representatives, as well as college faculty and
members of the student body.

Juvenile Delinquency and
The Decline of Values
Much has been written by over-anxious extroverts with reference to
the problem of juvenile delinquency. The attempt to curb this menace
h as also given rise to the coinin g of such b ana l express ions as "parent
delinquents," "keep t h em off t h e streets," and last, but certainly not
least , "the family that prays together stays together." These self-avowed
do-gooders point a menacing finger to the agencies which are most infl uential on y out h : home, church, and school; they suggest that complete
reforms in each area will bring an end to the ever increasing percentage
of juvenile crime.
This is idealistic hogwash. For there will never be an end to the increasing percentage of juvenile crime as long as the basic causation
exists. This basic cauastion is not the home, church, or the school, but
something much more important and abstract than any of these agencies.
It is the dominant philosophy existing within America today ; that philosophy which worships the dollar and places all on the attainment of
success.
American young people are indoctrinated with this philosophy from
the time their father brings home his first pay check until the time they
want the family car. They know that the greatest object in life is to
obta i n success , an d wh en t h ey can 't atta in thi s success t h rou gh n orma l
activity, they join a gang made up of other young people like themselves
who find success in punishing their fellow-man.
Young people look for the timeless values of our society and find none.
Mora l, spiritual, and aesthetic values have no place in ah environment
which know no values but those prescribed by the Treasury Department.
The idea of "making it" has entered into the pulpit of the church, the
fields of sport, an d th e classrooms set asid e fo r t h e masterpi ece s of
literature.
So fi ght the good fi ght , oh workers of the special order. But unless
y ou can ref orm t h e min d of America , your toil is in vain .
— Dave Laubach

Intercolle giate Press
Denver , Colo. (I.P.) — Emphasis on
the quality factor in student select ion , curriculum decisions and faculty development will mark the
University of Denver 's progress towards its 100th anniversary in 1964,
according to Chancellor Chester M.
Alter. He warned that "in a period
ahead when the competition for outstanding teachers and scholars will
surely increase, it would be easy for
any institution to fall behind.
"Nothing would more quickly
produce mediocrity or shoddiness
in an institution of higher learning
than to permit a degeneration of
the faculty. To prevent such a thing,
we -must give constant attention to
faculty salaries, increasing by substantial amounts, our budgets for
salaries paid to highly meritorious
teachers and scholars already on
our faculty and to those of great
promise whom we bring into the
faculty of the future.
At the same time, Chancellor Alter warned "with the growing range
of knowledge available, combined
with the increasing demands of the
many vocations and profession , the

planning of curricula has become
increasingly difficult. We, must b e
acutely aware that we cannot aff ord to try to d o every t hi n g that
every other institution does. We
must not expand our offerings beyond the scope of that which we
can do well.
"On t h e ot h er h an d, t h ere are
certain basic and fundamental disciplines which we must not neglect
nor permit any University of Denvci gi auudie

iw iiiias.

Among the problems facing higher education i.i the years ahead,
were identified by Chancellor Alter
as the low sta ':e of foreign languages, the role of religion , attent ion
to athletics in some institutions or
lack of it in others, the p lace o f
manners and morals, the student
who works more hours t h an he
studies and the role of television as
a replacement for the teacher.
To t h ese, t h e Chancellor ad ded,
the substitution of method fpr content in the education of teachers,
the role of student organizations
(160 of them on this campus) , the
problem of the married student and
factors of man power, defense an d
federal aid to education.

The Commuters
by NIKKI and ROBIN

Remember us? The senior exiles.
Out here along the Dew Line , we
are pretty well cut off from college communications. However, Dr.
Mullen , our only means; of contact
with the civilized world, is now recommended to the United States
Postal Department for immortalizat ion on the postal stamp. It
breaks our heart to see him whimper w h en we stam p "cancellation"
on his forehead.
Since Rhiney, alias Gene Rinehimer, is going to be grounded at
the Geisinger Hospital for awhile ,
we think it would be a nice gesture
on the part of the student body to
deluge him with a contemporary
card shower.
P.S.E.A. has recommended that
the Animals change their name to

"Orchids of two weeks ago" to
our fabulous football team for their
victory over West Chester.
Did Slater Cater really start that
rumor about contaminated cranberries ? Is this their justification
for serving hot dogs and sauerkraut
the day before vacation ?
Thought we'd pass along something found in the advice to the
lovelorn column.
Question: How do you get a girl
to accept a date ?
Answer: Never give a girl just
one date, give her the whole box.
But , if if it makes her face break
out , try giving her figs.
One of our commuters is really
rich—her dog has his own fire hydrant.

way Dr. Seronsy teaches Shakespeare.
Quote of the Week—from one of
our eighth graders. "If anyone my
size picked on me the way you do,
they would get punched."
Speaking of poor sports—just because the Amazons beat the Spartans in a friendly football game on

boys are now busily organizing a

means that Phi Sig will be sponsoring a bootie bazaar at the fair

wide assortment of stuffer animals
representing the college. Amon g
these are clowns, polar bears, kangaroos , and similar replicas. Unfortunately, none of these even resemble the Husky, which is the
sch ool' s official mascot.
It is thought by a large number
of students that the Book Store
should try to secure stuffed Husky
Dogs. Perhaps these Huskies would
be more expensive to secure and
thus bring a higher price than the
other animals. However, it is the
general feeling that the Book
Store would make many more sales
if Huskies were purchased. The
women of the cam pus would use
them to decorate their rooms ;
whereas the men would find that
they make excellent gifts for their
girlfriends.

the University of Washington in

It has to happen sooner or later. They expect us to get down to
business, and take this classroom, textbook and term paper jazz scriously.
OH cours e, com fort is the first consideration in the classroom. Nobody can expect a man to concentrate on electronics or history when
he's being distracted by uncomfortable clothes. On the other hand , the
sloppy look is way out. Many colleges have even gone so far as to insist on ties and jackets in the classrooms.

Dere Mr. Editer:
When the weather is right fer it ,
I spend a heap of my time just
settin on the front porch and
rockin. A feller can do some mighty
sound thinkin ^hile he's settin and
rockin.
I always rock with the grain on
account of rockin again the grain
makes the planks squeak and the
noise reminds my old lady of a few
chores I ain 't finished. I reckon
most of you folks in town ain't saw
a rockin chair in ten year, and if
you had , the chances is you ain't
got no front porch to rock it on.
When you town folks throwed your
rockin chairs away and started
building houses without no front
porches is when you started down
hill.
There ain 't nothing in this world
gives a feller the feeling that he's
at peace with hisself and the world
like settin and rockin fer a spell.

bandits would git a front porch and

ties. In soft fabric, muted colors ,
stripes or small overall designs,
these ties somehow strike the right
note. For those of us who don 't
quite function right in the morning, t h ere 's an all-wool Kwip-Klip
tie, and its knot looks better than
anything we have ever been able to
manage with a knit. In black , it' s
right with those new check gingham or oxford shirts.
The sports j acket and casual shirt
boys, have it made this season. The
new University Tabber collar is becoming to practically everyone , and
looks great in striped or checked
oxford cloth. It also manages to
give a trim, well-dressed and alert
look, which is useful in that first
class when you 're still sound asleep.
If you're too clumsy in the morning
to worry with the button for the
tab, ask for the new Tabber snap
collar. The ends of the tab just snap
together. Between that and the
clip-on tie, you can get ten minutes
more sleep in the morning.
The new pageant prints, however,
are eye-openers. Small, neat designs, printed fine broadcloth , refl eet t h e day s of t ournaments,
jou sting and heraldry. The colors
are muted, softened and darkened.
Pick your classroom clothes for
comfort as well as style. You may
not make t h e Dean 's list, but you'll
look good while you work at it.

The OLD PHILOSOPH ERS...

Question before the assembly : Will mid-term grades arrive home
before Santa Claus ? Eat a hearty meal on Thanksgiving — from the
sound of things around the campusphere, many an appetite will be
spoiled by the arrival of those little white slips. Here's mud in your eye!
That was quite a week, wasn 't it ? What with the Halloween Dance,
t h e Homecom in g Para de, t h e Homecom i n g Game, the Homecomin g
Dance, etc., t h ere really wasn 't much time for Classes, was t h ere ? For
the fi rst t ime in BSTC h istory , all the new members of the faculty are
thinking of quitting, because of the school's mad social whirl ! ( Egads!
And we still have Satchmo! Roll will be taken.)
Before we go any furth er (and we intend to, of course) may we congratulate the football team for the West Chester upset. For a job well
done! Thanks ! (By actual count , sixty-three classes were given last
minute reprieve 's on test scheduled for the Monday following the game.)
When applying for your Teachers Certificate , you'd best search your
conscience before signing your John Henry to Item 1. "I hereby apply for
a Pennsylvania college certificate and certify that I am not in the habit
of using opium or other narcotic drugs in any form or any intoxicating
drink as *a beverage..." If you can't figure out any use for intoxicating
drink except as a beverage, go ahead and sign. But be careful — they got
Alger Hiss for perjury!
While we're on the subject of perjury — Charles Van Doren refuses
to go any further until somebody proves that Dr. Rabb' s quickies aren 't
rigged. Dr. Rabb refuses to go any further until the rest of the BSTC
facu lty is heard from.
Laugh of the Week (and many weeks to come) : Senior Class proofs.
The Class of '60 is the first one in the history of BSTC actually to need
names under the pictures in the Ob iter . Seniors : when the yearbooks
arrive , don 't laugh too hard at any one picture — it may be yours!

Although he's definitely "international-minded" and loves most of the
human race, Dr. Lee is quite intolerant in one small respect. He can't
stand that Spanish guy, Manual Labor.
New instructors do present a problem , don't they ? You can't even
order your favorite beer at Bill Hess's anymore. Just say, "Gimme Gibbons," and you 're immediately labeled a name-dropper.
Government officials will be happy with the college officials who minimize student wages in order to avoid high , inflationary salaries .
Dr. Shockley 's journalistic experience — legal briefs , rewriting of

Results are guaranteed! (However , one word of warning: Waller Hall

Treaty of Friendship with Morocco. The United States had been
having trouble with the so-called
Barbary pirates—Morocco, Algeria,
Tunis and Tripoli. As part of the
national economy, the Barbary
Powers exacted tribute and plundered vessels entering the Mediterranean by way of the narrow
passage where legend says Hercules defeated the giant Aanthaseas. Here Tangier winks a wicked
eye at Dame Gibraltar across the
Mediterranean and here the Barbary pirates snatched an American
ship in 1784. (Here is where—and
I kept the receipt to prove it!—it
costs $35 for the car and $15 for
each passenger to take a ferry between Tangier and Gibraltar, a
two and a half hour trip.)
In 1785, twenty-one Americans
were being held for ransom and
the Americans did not have $60,000. I do not know what language
Franklin and his friends used to
negotiate the 1786 Treaty of
Friendship with the largest and the
most strategically located of the
Barbary Powers, but—traveling
around exotic, esoteric, and exciting Morocco in 1959—I found an
a p o l o g e t i c letter from George
Washington to Sidi Mohammed ben
Abdal a h, the Sultan of Morocco.
Dated December 1, 1789, the letter hastens—belatedly—to explain
that the United States had effected
a second edition of the American
Dialect. The Americans called it
"The Constitution of the United
States." In 1791, the Treaty of
Friendship was renewed and in
1812, the Sultan of Morocco presented the United States with a
palace in Tangier. Relationships
were friendly until 1908 and President Theodore Roosvelt sent the
Mediterranean and South Atlantic

squadrons into Moroccan waters to
protect American citizen Ion Perdicaris who had been captured by
the Riff chieftain Raisuli.

*Shrew * Tamed for Off ice of Admissions and Placement
Capacity Crowd "AS PERSONAL AS YOU MAKE IT"
A capacity crowd turned out
Saturday evening, November 7, to
see the Canadian Players' presentation of William Shakespeare 's
comedy, "The Taming of the
Shrew." The talented group did not
require elaborate sets; they operated quite satisfactorily with only
the basic materials needed to stage
*
the scenes.
The performance could be characterized in a single word : exuberant . The roles called for a great
deal of physical activi ty on the
part of the whole cast. In a few
places, because of the roughness of
the situations, the action bordered
on slapstick ; however, on the
whole, the comedy was handled as
neatly as possible. The whole company showed that special amount
of enthusiasm necessary to the
success of a Shakespearean producuun .

The facial expressions of the
Shrew provided much laughter,
and many times the look on her
face spoke far more effectively
than any words she might have uttered. Kate's progress toward becoming an obedient wife was carried out with j ust the right amount
of consistency ; 'her final speech
concerning wifely duties summarized the play very well. It was the
kind of comedy which continues to
hold a special appeal for either sex :
proof for the man that he is still
the ruler of his home, and chastisement for the woman who would
dare become too independent to be
a good wife.
Thanksgiving' Recess will begin at the close of classes on
Tuesday, November 24, 1959.
The noon meal will be the last
one served by the College before
the Recess. The buildings will be
closed to all s t u d e n t s at
6:00 P.M. except that provision
will be made for those who cannot leave before 6:00 P.M. No
evening meal will be served to
this group, however, and all such
students must advise the Dean
of Women or the Dean of Men
in Writing if they plan to remain
after 6:00 P.M.
If an emergency case arises,
making it necessary for any student to stay over night in the
dormitory, the Dean of Women
or Dean of Men will please determine the emergency and
make the proper recommendation for approval.
Classes begin 8:00 A.M., Monday morning, November 30, with
Breakfast on Monday the first
meal served by the College following the Recess.
Dormitories will not be open
for returning resident students
before 2:00 P.M. Sunday, November 29, 1959.

"WE PLEASE THE MOST CRITICAL"

Dear Editor ,
Does every man have his price ?
Who is going to cast the first
stone ? Do we learn from experience ?
Once u pon a time t h ere was a
young man who had a price. Ho
sold himself for $129,000. Here was
a man who had everything as far
as wise parents and a good environment was concerned. This man
was also very intelligent, for it appears that he had once taught at
one of the best schools in the country. He was immediately released
(they accepted what \va.i probably
a forced resignat ion) alter it was
learned that he had his price. If he
had it. to do over , would ho still
have a price ? Do we learn from
experience ?
It appears that there is a very
capable liturature teacher who is
now temporally unemployed. I say
temporarily, because some small
college (tho bigger ones will have
nothing to do with him) will undoubtedly capitalize upon this tre-.
mondous potentiu ) . Will this man
be censured for the remainder of
this life because of a mir.take ho
had mude in his y o u t h ? Did nof
Mosos also make a mistake in his
y o u t h ? Are there very many wise
men who iwe young ? Avo there
very many wise mon who have not
made bovIous mistakes in their
youth ?
Perhaps the college which extends an invitation to Charles Van
Doron to join its Vacuity as an English Iimtructor would bo making a
wise move. Sometimes the homo
saplon learns from his mist akes.

ARCUS '

Un til June of 1958, the admission of freshmen at BSTC was handled
by the Dean of Instruction and the placemen t of seniors by t he Director
of Secondary Education. Because of the tremendous growth and request for admission, a new department was created to handle this increase. This new department is called the Office of Admissions and
Placement, with Mr. C. Stewart Edwards as director.
The basic or underlying philosoph y of this office is "as personal as
you make it. " The director follows a student from the time he is accepted for admission, throug h his college car eer, graduation , and t h en
tf>nrhincr

ADMISSIONS :

The purpose of the Admissions
Department is to supply materials
and information for future students. When a student has been
selected as a possible candidate for
admission, he usually has two interviews, one with the Director of
Admissions and another with one
of the social deans. After the interview, the student is then given exams by Dr. E. Paul Wagner. The
final selection is made on the basis
of his high school academic record,
the recommendation of his high
school principal, test scores made
on entrance exams, and the personal interviews.
PLACEMENT :

The Placement Department enters the picture after the studen t
has successfully completed his academic work and is doing his student
teaching. During practicum class,
the student is asked to fill out his
"credentials." These contain personal data, references, and activities at college. Several copies are
made, and these may be sent upon
request to a student's future place
of employment.
The Placement Bureau keeps in
contact with about 1000 school districts in Pennsylvania and other
neighboring states. To these dis^
tricts, it sends a brochure which
contains information about each
student and a letter of introduction by Mr. Edwards. If the school
districts desire to hold interviews
with the student, the conference
room in Carver Hall is used. In this
way, the school supervisors may
come directly to the campus for
interviews. Many seniors become
alarmed about their job offers at
the beginning of the semester, but
they should remember that most
j ob offers come into the placement
office after May.
Last year there were approximately 5000 j ob offers for 310 graduates. Each request for teachers is
acknowledged. After the student
has matriculated and obtained a
job, the Department then sends him
a form asking for the following information ; subjects taught, starting salary, and additional comments about his undergraduate
preparation , whether he thinks it
was or was not adequate.
The Bureau then compiles a list
of where the graduates are teaching. The list is mailed to each graduate, in order that they may keep
in contact with one another if they
wish.

him. The preacher come down to
the pew and asked this feller ,
"Brother, if you took a load of hay
to the pasture and didn't but one
cow show up, would you feed her?"
The feller allowed as how he would
feed her.
The preacher walked back up in
the pulpit, sung a few songs, said
a long prayer, preached a two hour
sermon, sung a few more songs and
said a final prayer. He come down
out of the pulpit, shook hands with
the feller, and they walked down
the aisle together. When they got
to the door, the feller stopped and
told the preacher, "Reverend, I
been thinkin about that load of hay
and the cow. I'd have fed her alright, but I'll be dadburned if I
would've give her the whole load."

Organized Effort of Fire
Brigade Cited by College
The BSTC fire brigade has been
organized to prevent fires , save
lives, provide leadership during
hazards, and help the fire company.
The brigade is composed of thirteen
handpicked young men and twentytwo young women, the women all
being residents of Waller Hall.
William Stevenson is the chairman
of the. Brigade.
These people are being trained to
handle emergency situations in the
event of a fire , in order to eliminate any panic that might otherwise
take place. They are also in the
midst of correcting the traffic in
Science Hall.
For the first time in the history
of the school, they are working together with the town officials. October 9, a general alarm was sounded in the town of Bloomsburg. Five
engines from the four fire compan-

ies speeded up the Navy Hall play ground to see how quickly help
could reach the college in case of an
emergency. This was accomplished
in three minutes. Afterwards, the
firemen and the brigade went
through Navy Hall, Waller Hall,
Science Hall, and North Hall to become accustomed with the general
layout of theio buildings.
The fire extinguishers in all the
buildings were inspected by the
brigade chairman and Bloomsburg's
assistant fire chief. Through their
efforts many have been replaced
and repaired. Dimes were placed in
all the pay phones and students are
urged to use them only in case of an
emergency. New signs were designed and placed in Navy Hall.
. The chairman urges everyone to
be aware of the hazards that do exist.

Homecoming at BSTC was ofTicially opened on Friday evening, October 30, by a majority of the student body as they began their
downtown trek , starting from Contennial Gymnasium. The Husky
fans were accompanied by the college band, under the direction of
Mr. Nelson Miller .
f loats representing tne various
clubs and organizations on campus
included B-Club, Tho Maroon ami
Gold, Bloomsburg Players, the Pep
Committee, and Waller Hall Association. A touch of glamour was
added to the parade by the Homecoming Queen nominees representcd by two coeds from each class,
and by the Sweetheart of Phi Sigma Pi, Sandy Clark.
Freshmen represented the student body under the leadership of
Dean Hoch, while upperclassmen
marched to the tune of "My Girl's
a Hullabaloo" and other tamiliar
Bloomsburg songs. Following the
parade a pep rally was held behind
Navy Hall, where the Huskies
cheered their team on. It was at the
pep rally that the winner of the

mention was given to B-Club. This
was the third consecutive year in
which the Bloomsburg Players

The Bloomsburg Players used an
Indian theme for their float , while
The Maroon and Gold elaborated on
the newspaper background, typifying the Maroon and Gold office. BClub members rode on their float
in a midst of red and white streamers. Waller Hall used the words
"Skunk 'em," in keeping with the
huge black skunk displayed on
their float.

The State Teachers College 2nd
Annual Cross Country Meet was
run at Slippery Rock STC Saturday, November 7. Six schools were
represented with a field of thirty seven entries.
Notable among the runners was
Terry Engleman who was participating in his first Cross Country
meet. Terry, present STC mile and
two mile record holder finished a
close third—only 58 seconds off the
winning time. Team-mate Ray
Thayer finished 13th. Winner of the
event was Dick Shirley of Slippery
Rock STC, who set a new record
for the 4.3 mile course in 24 minutes 11 seconds.

Season a Success

Playing an eight game schedule,
the BSTC grJdders closed out their
season with three wins. On the red
ink side of the ledger are four
losses and one tie. Each of the four
defeats was sustained by a one
touchdown margin: Shippensburg
13-6, East Stroudsburg 7-0, Millersville 20-13, and Lock Haven 14-6.
The latter three games were all
played on muddy fields which
greatly hampered the locals highflying aerial attack.
The Blairmen checked in with
victories over Kings 13-6, Mansfield 13-6, and arch rival West
Chester, the biggest upset in the
STC conference in four seasons.
Many observers feel that, regardless of the over-all seasonal record ,
the victory over W. Chester makes
this year's gridiron outing a success.
In general , this year's moleskinners displayed a fine brand of football and showed the fans a rugged ,
hard-hitting team , culminating in
an all-out team effort in the W.
Chester upset. Failure to combine
a hard-running game with a fine
passing attack hurt the Huskies at
crucial times duiing the eight game
campaign.
The Huskies will be hard hit by
graduation with the loss of Seniors :
Orband , Panichello, Morris, Galitsky, Manko, Lockuff , Staber,
Rohm, Gerber, Elinsky, and Shiflett. Local rooters point to the fine
late-season display of underclassmen talent as serving notice to the
anticipation of an improved record
for next season .

Remember November 7th ? At

At game time excitement was

The proposed five-bus caravan to Lock Haven seemed to dwindle not
because of lack of student spirit , but rather because of the prohibitive
cost, especially when upperclassmen began comparing the $1.90 charge
for a round-trip to Lock Haven with last year's bus fee to West Chester
which was $2.25 and included a lunch . Also on the spirit-killing side of

ISOLATION OF THE CAMPUS ...
Prlncipia College
"What's going on in the world ? I haven't heard any news since I' ve
been back in isolation." This statement migh t be an exaggeration but
it does point up a trend which sometimes appears on a college campus.
This isolation comes about when affairs of the world lose proportion to
our own personal affairs. It is up to us to keep ourselves informed so
that we can more perceptively contribute to classroom discussion , so
th at we can mentally hold our personal affairs in proper perspective,
so that we can give fuller meaning to our education .
PROJECT FOR THE YEAR ...
College Misericordia
The Student Council has selected the stimulation of intellectual discussion on campus as its project for the year. This activity is not designed to sponsor organized meetings of the type which would ont reach
the majority of the students; rath er, council merely plans to publish the
suggested topic for the month . After the topic has been published , it is
up to the students to carry on the discussions. The topic is likely to be
discussed anywhere, lounge, smoker , dorms, halls; if any one group desires to meet with another gz-oup for mutual exchange of ideas, arr angement s would be made through Student Council. The main obj ective of
this proj ect is to stimulate intelligent discussion among the students.

Northampton, Mass (I.P.) —Smith
College will introduce two semester
courses in scientific Russian during
the 1959-60 academic year, according to an announcement by President Thomas C. Mendenhall. He
pointed out that the first semester
class will be a review of grammar
and a study of vocabulary in mathematics and physics. The second
semester will be devoted to the
study of Russian terminology in
chemistry, biology , economics and
geography.
It is believed that Smith is the
first women's college to inaugurate
a course in scientific Russian for
undergraduates. Mme. Catherine

Pastuhova, chairman of the Russian department , said that a severe
shortage of textbooks in this field
has been remedied. In her opinion
the students will not find the new
courses too difficult , "since most
scientific Russian terms are similar
to the Latin, English, or German."
Iowa City, la. (I.P.)—Colleges and
Universities in 14 states will embark this week on a new admissions, placement, scholarship and
guidance testing program for college-bound high school seniors.
The new venture, called the American College Testing (ACT ) program , was announced here by E. F.
Lindqu ist , director of the Iowa
Testing Programs, and Ted McCarrel, registrar and director of admissions at the University of Iowa.
