engineer's assurances tliat they were peaking for nationals were in earnest in addi tion to winning the unofficial team title with 83 points to navy's 70 and penn state's 62 the engineers qualified seven wrestlers to compete at the nationals in auburn in two weeks and stand a good chance to make the best showing nationally for an eastern team since lehigh placed third in 19fi7 penn state and

tourney held at princeton last week u may buy community center four departments interested by dave morrison the jewish community center temple would make an absolutely breath-taking auditorium professor jonathan elkus of the music dept said thursday at a meeting of the forum planning priorities and resourses committee located next to campus at packer and broadhead sts the jewish community center is being considered for purchase by the university if the price is right according to pp&r chairman prof thomas jackson the community center was damaged bv fire earlier this winter and since then its cii rectors have considered selling to the university and relocating on the north side both elkus and professor robert cutler expressed the urgent need of the music dept to move out of its inadequate facilities in lamberton hall said cutler " the jewish com munity center is especially interesting to the department of music the large areas are the most important feature the situation isn't a.s cut and dry as it sounds in addition to the music dept the school of education buildings and grounds and the administrative offices of purchasing and accounting are evein the community center as a possible new home the school of education is presently located in a handful of row homes on broadhead ave which are anything bul tolerable rui diners and grounds accounting and purchasing are all cramped for space in the alumni memorial building the cost of damare to the community center lias been estimated at 1/4 million and according to an ad hoc com mittee which investigated it the building will have to be partially gutted and rebuilt before anv lone moves in the jewish community enter affair having arisen somewhat unexpectedly was not mentioned on the actual list of priorities or plans topping tliat list at this point is a new chemistry building said pp&r chairman jackson most of us are pretty well convinced that a certain building is top priority lack of propero entilation and leaking gas pipes were named as basic problems in the present chem building because toxic chemicals are used the 90 year old building is considered unsafe the new chemistry building according to the long range map of the campus will be a relatively high-rise structure located on packer ave in the front yard prof thomas jackson 4-1-4 works at moravian students like change of pace editor's note this is the iast in a series of three articles concerning the concept of a 4-1-4 calendar by donald suss as the university continues to study the possible institution of a 4-1-4 calendar in 197 2-73 cognizance should be taken of the three-year experience of moravian college with the calendar at moravian the students faculty and administration are apparently all verv well pleased with the 4-1-4 calendar according to dean of students george stanley most of the students are very enthusiastic about the new system and have used the time offerred during the january term profitably as a result he feels that the 4-1-4 calendar at moravian is great because the change of pace and break in routine that the january term offers appears to be what the student needs and wants the 4-1-4 program at moravian is on a semi-voluntary basis with attendance required two out of four january terms it is the student's option whether to engage in independent study or take a concentrated course of study stanley noted two problems that have arisen at moravian that the university may hope to solve if a decision is reached to implement a 4-1-4 system the main disadvantage in the january term was ln the equity of the courses offerred he stated that some courses demanded very little of the students while others were overbearing stanley also mentioned that there was some concern with the use of independent study in the first two years of college experience he noted that there was some question as to how soon a student is ready to work on his own and acknowledged that some structure may be needed in the program one of the biggest proponents of the 4-1-4 concept is dr jack ridge chairman of the faculty committee on the january term and chairman of the department of physics at moravian college ridge has done extensive study on the 4-1-4 calendar and has been an instrumental figure in the moravian program ridge noted that under a 4-1-4 program a college or university must get away from a system of credits to a system of counting courses taken to meet graduation requirements moravian for example re quires 34 courses for graduation including two courses in the winter term from his experience he feels that the problem of convincing the faculty in each department to accept such a course system will be a major one in addition ridge feels that this problem will be more difficult at an engineering school than elsewhere he noted that there may be more of a tendency ln engineering to equate the number of hours of class time as a measure of involvement in a course as a result the engineering faculty may feel that they require more class time ridge also stated that if the university does adopt a 4-1-4 program then each department will liave to reevaluate their entire curriculum he added that each department may have to revamp their entire system in order to devise new courses with different content that will be applicable to a 4-1-4 calendar dorm integration set situation unstable by glen clark the university forum accepted the report of the dean of residence to the sub committee on residence this report is consistent with current university policy and has been accepted by the student affairs committee the report compiled by clarence b campbell dean of residence includes a study of various aspects of integration the results of the study showed considerable interest in integration by students nevertheless a number of freshmen and upperclassmen do not favor integration therefore some segregated sections probably will remain as an option to these students the report to the subcommittee on residence described the present residence halls situation as being unstable consequently some relocation of students with a redefini tion of which houses will house which students will occur each year according to the report maximum undergraduate enrollment and completion of all residence facilities will stabilize the situation in 1971-1972
