ASME celebrates 100 years
Tuesday, April 22, 1980, was a day
to be remembered by mechanical en
gineers and soon-to-be mechanical
engineers everywhere. This date
marked the celebration of 100 years
(1880-1980) of service to our society by
ASME.
The event was marked locally by a
centennial celebration at the Hershey
Motor Lodge. Members of the
Mechanical Engineering Department,
ASME students, and guests, all from
Capitol Campus, were joined by other
members of ASME in the Susquehanna
area.
The evening began with a cocktail
hour that was open, thanks to that
great Pennsylvania Primary, and was
followed by dinner. Birthday wishes
were extended to ASME from all those
who attended, led by the master of
ceremonies.
Dr. Richard A. Kenyon, Region 111
Vice-President, then proceeded to give
a talk on "The Engineering Shortfall."
Dr. Kenyon stressed the idea that
through a well-rounded education and
involvement, the engineer and the

It seems to me that the managers
involved in making these cutbacks,
along with the service cutbacks at the
beginning of the year, are trying to
impress their supervisors by cutting
costs at the expense of the student.
This is just one more example of Penn
State bureaucracy at work.
One other problem that deserves
mention is the deplorable condition of
some residence hall facilities, particu
larly those on Third Floor Church.
When that floor was opened for winter
term it was furnished with a' meager
amount of lounge furniture in poor
condition and had only one water
fountain to serve the entire floor. The
furniture is now in even worse condi
tion and there still is only one , water
foUntain. Repeated queries to Housing
and Food Service have yielded, the
answer that another fountain has been
on order since November and new
furniture will arrive •in July. A lot of
good that does this year's resident&
It should be obvious to anyone with
any kind of business sense that these
kinds of delays in shipment should not
be tolerated. The simple solution is to
contact different suppliers who can
provide the necessary goods in a
reasonable period of time.
Let's see what our new group of
SGA officers can do about this prob
lem. I say it is time to put the
"SERVE" back in Housing and Food
Service.
