A. U. Puis Emphasis
On Student Advisement
Until Term Opens
Emphasis will be placed on stu
dent counseling and advisement on
academic and career programs be
tween now and the opening of the
fall term at American University on
September 25.
The offices of the graduate dean
and the undergraduate dean will be
open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until
the first day of school for students
desiring this service. Department
heads will be available from 3 p.m.
to ,7 pm. during that same period.
Dr. Benjamin Cohen, assistant
secretary general of the United. Na
tions in charge of public informa
tion, will deliver the convocation
address on September 24.
250 Limit on Freshmen.
Entering students this week are
receiving from the College of Arts
and Sciences a copy of the text,
“College and Life," for the required
course which runs through the fall
session under the title “Introduc
tion to Cofiege.” The freshman class
at the school is limited to 250 stu
dents, 60 per cent of whom are men.
Orientation week for the new stu
dents will begin September 21. All
students, whether they live on the
campus or at home during the ses
sion, will live in campus residence
halls during the orientation period.
Total enrollment at the university
this fall should be close to 3,800, an
increase of 300 over last year.
Among the appointments an
nounced previously by Dr. Paul F.
Douglas, president of the universe
ity, was that of Dean Pitman B.
Potter as head of the graduate di
vision. He succeeded Dean Ernst
Posner, who was promoted to asso
ciate director of the School of So
cial Sciences and Public Affairs.
isew jrrogTam ueveiopea.
Dr. Potter said a large number of
veteran students are taking grad
uate work in colleges throughout
the country as well as at American
University, He added this was an
indication of the earnest intellec
tual performance of veterans which
has become standard in most
schools.
The College of Arts and Sciences
is putting into effect this fall a new
program which it'has been develop
ing for the last five years. The pro
gram re-establishes some simple
old-fashioned principles of Amer
ican education and brings them to
gether with the valuable contribu
tions fit ‘progressive education. The
basic principle of the program is
that cbHege is a human relation
ship fit faculty meeting with stu
dents in the intimate campus com
munity which a small college pro
vides.
The intensive 21-month program
in business and industrial manage
ment, given by the School of Social
Sciences and Public Affairs, will
admit 801 students this fall

of th« university, Chief Judge
George ft Barse of Municipal Court,
presidjgg.
Refuftrktlbh for the term will be
gin on September 15 with the heav
iest enrollment in the school's his
tory expected. Veterans, who now
form 70 per cent of the enrollment,
have been making so many inquiries
that the registrar, Mrs. Alice K.
Conner, said former service men
probably vrill make up 80 per cent
of the student body this fall.
Classrooms in the law school’s
building, at 1225 New York avenue
N.W., are being enlarged. Car
penters and painters are now at
work remodeling the building, taken
over by the institution after the
Federal Government in 1943 moved

cupied in the 800 block of Thir

Television to Welcome College
Drama During Coming Year
By Chris Mathisen
College drama will move into a
new medium here during the com
ing school year.
Television—bringing new oppor
tunities and requiring new tech
niques—will become a recognized
outlet for the acting and production
talents of students.
Mo$t institutions in the Washing
ton area are making plans to take
advantage of the board experimen
tal field afforded by this new ele
ment of mass entertainment. Rec
ognizing its particular needs and
potentialities, they are preparing to
give their drama students wide lati
tude in using it.
Two television stations are in
operation here now—WTTG of
Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Ins.,
and WNBW of the National Broad
casting Co.
Two More Coining Up.
Soon there will be two more, op
erated by The Evening Star Broad
casting Co. and the Bamberger
Broadcasting Service, Inc.
The four managements have an
nounced their intentions of using
drama extensively in programming
and co-operating with the universi
ties in its presentation.
Television “experts” are few. Be
cause of this, the neophyte can ex
pect to teach his teacher, if he is
alert and senses new production
twists. It’s a learn-by-doing art. The
college student who. looks to its po
tentialities with enthusiasm and
imagination has an excellent chance
to mold for himself a profitable and
interesting career.
The television stations have had
to start from nothing in building
their schedules. Many programs
which Jiaw been graced with high
popularity in sound 'broadcasting
have little excuse to be televised—
straight music features, for example.
Sports events are limited. Public
affairs periods must be used spar
ingly to avoid alienating the audi
ence, most of which wants enter
tainment most of the time. So tele
vision turns,to drama.
' Tie Up With Educators.
With a wealth of young perform
ers, directors and stage designers to
choose from, the visual broadcasting
business is finding it good business
to effect tieups with educational
units in the community.
American University, for example,
has an arrangement, with The Eve
ning Star Broadcasting Co. which
the, parties believe will prove of sub
stantial mutual value.
When Station WMAL-TV goes on
the ajr, a co-operative effort will be
gin. It will involve members of the
university faculty and the station
staff. The students will be able to
study and practice the techniques of
television in a studio being installed
in the transmitter building being
built on the campus. Later, the
young television experimenters will
have the use of large downtown
studios.
The other three television outlets
are developing similar patterns of
drama work in association with the
universities.
Apart from television, the collegi
ate drama scene hereabouts has
been brightened by several other de
velopments.
Catholic University is well along
in its full-year festival. Hollywood
and Broadway have joined with the
university in presenting the 12
month program of new plays. The
two centers of showmanship are
represented, respectively, by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences and the American Nation
al Theater and‘Academy.
To Offer Seven Plays.
Walter Kerr’s playwriting course,
developing new writing talent for
the theater, is the central feature
of the festival idea. A total of seven
plays is to be offered. The first,
“All Gaul Is Divided,” by John Mc
Giver, presented in June, has been
bought for professional production.
The contributions of Broadway
and Hollywood are players, direc
tors and technicians, as requested
by the university through the Rev.
Gilbert V. Hartke, director of the
department of speech and drama. _
Father Hartke does 'not exjfect
every script to be bought for the
commercial stage. Rather, he hopes
the festival will produce some new
playwrights of enduring talent
whose true worth may not become
evident until after they have left
the campus.
George Washington University is
ready for the new term with 'a new
drama faculty.
Drama has come Into its own
there. Now, it is a major subject
and may be studied intensively
with a view to a degree.
Mangum to Direct.
Edward Mangum, longtime men
tor of the Mount Vernon Players,
will teach and direct, and Dr.
Natalie E. White will be the other
instructor. Dr. White received her
doctorate from Yale with a major
in theater and drama criticism.
There will be three student pro
ductions during the year In Lisner
Auditorium, the envy of all other
collegiate drama groups in this area.
Student members of the producing
organization will form the George
Washington Players. Three mem
bers of the faculty and three under
graduates will select the plays to
be produced. The first probably will
reach the boards in December.
While these three institutions per
haps are readying the most ambi
tious drama programs, the other
universities of this area are set for
another year of important work in
company with Thalia and Thespis.
Georgetown University’s Mask and
Bauble Club will be heard from be
fore long, and the drama depart
ments at Maryland and Howard
Universities will be offering their
students ample opportunity to play
at make believe.
Group Accredits Courses
In Radio at School Here
The correspondence and residence
courses in practical radio engineer
ing offered by the Capitol Radio
Engineering Institute, which cele
brates its 20th anniversary this year,
have been accredited recently by
the Engineers’ Council for Profes
sional Development.
E. H. Rietske, president of the
school, said the home study course
is the first correspondence course
ever to be accredited by the ECPD.
The school offers day and eve
ning classes in radio-electronics and
engineering. Students may enter at
any time an opening is available.
The school is located at Sixteenth
street and Park road N.W.
Mr. Rietske said the school spe
cialized in supervised study rather
than the lecture method of training.
$3,000,000 Buildings
Offer New Facilities
At Maryland U.
The University of Maryland con
tinues to expand as nearly 13,000
students, the largest enrollment in
its history, are expected for the
1947-48 school year, starting Sep
tember 22.
Of this number more than 10,000,
including some 5,000 war veterans
taking advantage of the GI Bill of
Rights, will attend classes at College
Park.
In addition approximately 2,500
students, about the same number as
last year, are expected in Baltimore
for the professional schools of law,
medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and
nursing and in the branch school of
the university’s College of Educa
tion.
Enrollment of 2,600 in summer
courses this year at College Park
brings the total attendance close to
15,000, an all-time high for the
State university.
New Buildings Readied.
To keep pace with the increased
attendance the university has built
nearly $3,000,000 in new buildings
at College Park, which will be ready
for occupancy by the time school
begins or shortly'thereafter.
These include a new three-story
College of Agriculture Building cost
ing $500,000. a $275,000 general
classroom structure, three men’s
dormitories totaling $400,000, an
annex to the campus dining hall,
$375,000, and a $1,000,000 to $1,250,
000 experimental wind tunnel. ✓
The latter structure, which will be
capable of producing winds up to a
velocity of 750 miles per hour, will
be the first unit of the proposed
Glenn L. Martin College of Engin
eering and Aeronautical Sciences.
Plans now are complete for 15 other
buildings of this new group, with
construction of them expected to
start some time this year.
Besides the new permanent build
ings, the College Park campus also
will include 12 other new additions,
all war surplus structures' furnished
by the Federal Works Agency. These,
include nine temporary buildings
/
for classroom purposes and labora
tories; a former military service clut
for a recreational center and two
Quonset huts, one to be used as a
show judging pavilion for animal
husbandry and the other, a store
room. In all, the temporary build
ings will include 108,000 square feet
of floor space.
Not started yet but slated for
construction by 1948 is a new stad
ium for 40,000 spectators.
The construction program is un
der the direction of George O.
Weber, business manager of the
university and an Army lieutenant
colonel during World War II. A
graduate of the university, h& also
commands the 163rd Military Police
Battalion, District National Guard.
The new agriculture building will
be ready November 1 and also will
house the Maryland State Exten
sion Service and other affiliate farm
programs, including 4-H Club and
Soil Conservation activities. The
present structure will be converted
to a science building.
About 300 members have been
added to the faculty, according to
G. W. Fogg, personnel director of
the university, who compiled the
enrollment statistics.
Registration will be held from
September 15 to 19, with seniors and
juniors scheduled for the first two
days; sophomores and second semes
ter freshmen, September 16 and 17,
and freshmen, September 18 and
19. High school certification is
necessary for entrance, except in
the cases of veterans, who, if no
such certification is available, can
take an examination.
