Dr. P. Victor Peterson, Dr. Gertrude Witherspoon, Dr. Robert Rhodes, and Dr. Carl Duncan spent  last Friday, October 6, in Sacramento at a meeting which they hoped would  bring final ac-tion on their special' edition, called "Science In The Elementary School." The book, now in mimeo-graph form only, is to be published and placed in the hands of all elementary school teachers in the state early next year. A committee composed of mem-bers of the Science departments of all the state colleges of Cali-fornia, aided and abetted  particu-larly by the staff here at San Jose, has long been engaged in composing the material, which  is carefully  graded to the elementary student for whom  It will be used. Dr. Duncan, who has edited and correlated much of the work, reports that the published edition will contain an annotated bibliog-raphy of all books in the scientific field, varying in difficulty  from those applicable to the primary grades to material which is suit-able for use with junior high school students.  First  meeting of the Social  Al -Invited to attend, according to Pat  Rhodes,  committee chairman. All those attending are asked to bring their student body cards. Future committee members will be chosen from the group. Set For Thursday; Open To All  Students Try outs for Thornton Wilder's  Pulitzer prize play, "Our Town," will be held Thursday afternoon, marking the resumption  of San Jose Player activ!ties this  fall. Tryouts will 'take place from 4 to 6 p.m. In the Little 'rheater, al-lowing  time for all Interested  stu-dents to attend.  First presented at State six  years ago, "Our Town" will be di-, ected by William Melton,  senior speech major,  under the faculty  di-rection of Hugh Gillis, Speech de-partment head. During the past two years. Melton, who played the lead in the Players' first presenta-tion of the play, has gained varied experience In little theaters. PHILOSOPHY Scheduled to be the only play produced this quarter, "Our Town" I, remarkable for its lack of s t a . - g i n g and  the homely philosophy  found in its story. It tells of the so-called "basic" features of life, Birth, Love, Marriage, and  Death, presented in a small town set-ting, and peopled with types in-cluding the country doctor and the small town lawyer; the genuine people. Playwright Wilder  makes be-lievable  the  idea that the simple life is beautiful in a delightful way. Not all laughter, 'tour Town" depicts its balance of the less bright side of life. Students may remember, Martha Scott's charac-terization of the leading part which she brought to the  semen from the broadway production. CASTING  Casting and production work of "Our Town,' as with all San Jose Player productions,  is open to the entire , student body and  not to speech majors alone. For the convenience of interest-ed students who may wish to read the play before the tryouts, play -books will be on reserve in the Re-serve  Book room in the library.

MACQUARRIE President,  San Jose State College I'm afraid the Daily  gave me too much  credit for Orientation  Day. It was really Dr. Pete and a fighting  committee  that put it over.  Every year we've  heard such harrowing  tale of lost students, stuclents who never did learn where  the  Library was, students who never did learn what a blue card was, students  who never did learn that we are trying to keep the college neat and habitable, such ghastly tales that we just decided to try to do something about it. Hence 0 -Day. (I'll have more to say about it later.) One Of the most important  in-stitutions on this campus, Joy  the , la--the-Spartan Daily. I hope you're a member of the student body and that you'll  pick up a copy every day. You might  even glance at this column occasionally, es-pecially If you're a new student. I do fuss about  some of our tra-ditions, and I do try to warn you not to be suckers, not  during the first week or so anyway. It gets ; sort of boring to older students, for there are not many strings to my bow, but new students may I find it of some value. (I stopped one fellow from Joining a fly-by-night fraternity to which he was going to pay twenty-three dol-lars his  folks had given him to pay his board. Might have gone without eating if I hadn't seen him  just before he turned over the cash.) And  let me -tell you new folks, you don't  have to pick up all of the customs that are suggested to you on this campus. Some of them are just bad habits that you can get  along just as well _without, that will cost you   a lot. of money, make you selfish, and you can't Stop. If you have had some standards before coming here,  keep them  up. It's fine to see a young man or woman  who has some standards  of conduct. You don't have to ape anyone else.

For instance,  if they are religious, if they are church peo-ple, even if they are a little straight laced, I wouldn't  just drop all that the first thing. Go to church, your  own church if there Is one here, or some other as near like it as you can find. Make It a custom and stick to it. You will find your college years all. the  better for  that. There are few enough religious people in our country, and they are the very backbone of our society. We need them. Go to church and take part In religious  devotions.
