              College Gives Defense Course l(\^0-l*l Cooperating with State Council of Education in Requirements Following this Snonth's action of the State Council of Education, the Bloomsburg State Teachers College is cooperating with Pennsylvania State College in offering defense courses. This project is made possible through recent legislation which permits the State Council of Education to request any State Teachers College to participate in this work upon the action of the board of trustees in favor of expanding the usefulness of the particular institution to those activities which will enable state teachers colleges to contribute to the national defense. Among the courses offered are fundamentals of engineering, engineering drafting, ordnance inspection, and any other courses in engineering science or management for which a sufficient demand may develop. These courses will be held in Science Hall, according to the announcement of President Harvey A. Andruss of the college, and the administrative head will be Roy D, Snyder, a member of the Bloomsburg school board. These courses do not bear college credit and the tiution is free. However, students must buy their books and supplies. A high school education is the material requirement. However, persons who have certain types of vocational experience may be admitted upon the approval of the coordinator. The experience with offering I such courses during the last sumjmer indicates that from 00 per | cent to 90 per cent of those who ???4 completed the courses have found "places in industry contributing to the national defnse.
