COLLEGIANS IN THE MOVIES
Editor's Note—The following is the
fifth of n series of articles written on
Hollywood life, by the editor of the
University of California Daily Tro
jan, which will be published in the
COLLEGIAN at regular intervals.
The other day the original "no"
man was discovered. To find a "no"
man in life is quite a novelty in itself.
This man, the original no-er, is Har
vey Pugh, who handles the only in
formation and mailing department in
Hollywood and his unit is found in the
Paramount studios where his work has
become the model for other studios
who- are now planning on installing
similar departments.
People often wonder where scenario
writers obtain ideas for stories. There
are various sources, but one of the
chief ones is from characters found
in the studios themselves. There is
no better example than the life story
of Harvey •Pugh who has had his good
breaks and bad breaks, success and
set-backs. •
After graduating from Colorado
University where he was the first pres
ident of the Kappa Sigma chapter on
that campus he opened a bureau of
employment for teachers at Berkeley,
California. He had majored in ap
plied psychology and made use of
such training in his chosen career.
The great war came along-and Pugh
joined the Stars and Stripes as a cadet
in aviation. Most of his time in the
service was spent training aviators.
After the war was over, Harvey
Pugh did some flying for Paramount
and on one of the aerial jaunts his
machine hit an air bump and a serious
crash was the result. Pugh had fifty-
Seven fractures and spent eleven
months in the hospital as the result
of the accident. His free had to be
made over and for weeks it was a
question as to whether or not he would
live.
Was he down on life and his luck?
No, he was trying all the harder to
find some way he could use his know
ledge of psychology, and how he could
be of service in some position.

Before he left the hospital the Mil- I
cials of the Paramount. studio offered
him a position handling crowds that
came to the studio. He took the po
sition and through foresight, executive
ability, and ambition created the first
information and mailing unit to be
found in a Hollywood studio.
At the present time Pugh has eleven
assistants and over one half million
pieces of mail are handled monthly.
The mail consists, for the meat pirt,
of fan mail. The letters average
twenty to the pound when they, are
received and eleven to the pound when
answers, containing pictures, are
mailed out. This department handleS
the 38,000 letters received every four
weeks by Clara Bow, and the 24,000
letters sent monthly to Charles "Bud-,
dy" Rogers.
•
Whenever a letter is received which
looks as though it contains a menu.'
script, it is returned to the owner,
but it never gets beyond the mailing
I room. Large studios pay writers. to
produce stores, and when additional !
stories are neded, studio heads • ask
for them. If a manuscript fever goes
beyond the mailing room, no individual
i con accuse a studio of stealing an idea.
Harvey Pug'h is responsible for
every individual from, the time he ar-•
rives on company property until he , :
leaves. His assistants admit or re- -

As he walked through the stadia
he pointed out a young 'cameraman,.

worker who have all worked for hlni:
While in the army he learned that
he 'must first Control himself, 'if he
could control others, , and that is what
he is doing today, controlling hundreds
of people.. He likes his work and
Itakes pride in the achievements pf

THE PENN STATE. COLLEGIAN
D. M. .Cr . oswell Describes Intricasies
,• Of Penn State Publicity Distribution
Penn State's - greatest publicity
problem; is the distribution of "home
town news" or "local interest items"
declared Mr. Donald M. Cresswell,
director of public information, in an
interview yesterday.
"In my publicity work," he stated,
"I have made a- special effort to get
acquainted with as many editors in
the State as possible. There are al-
Most IMl.daily and about 900 weekly
newspapers in - the Commonwealth,
and I have come into personal contact
with representatives of approximate
ly one-fourth of them.
. "They always express appreciation
for our news service," the speaker
added, "and practically 100 per cent
of them make special mention of their
desire -for articles on the activities of
students from their localities. 'Give
us local stuff=all you can,' they say."
Mr. Cromwell pointed out that prior
to fast summer almost the only "home
town news" distributed was picked
up from • the columns of 'the student
newspaper'. Last 'spring a state-wide
service of local interest items and the
like was brought into operation by
the department.
DAIRY GROUPS WORK ON •
- . CATTLE MINERAL NEEDS
To discover the extent of mineral
requirements for cattle la the object
of recenti experiments by the depart
ment of dairy husbandry and the In
stitute of Animal Nutrition:,
.Experiments began two years ago
when forty calves were - divided into
four groups, and each grebp'was giv
en a slightly different diet. .In May.
1928, it ,became 'evident that the cat
tle• 'receiving a• 'liberal supply 'of
Mlll'o=ll6o maintained a better sp.
pearadce and gained weight more rap
idly than the other groups. -
The experiments will be continued
by observation of the- resting of vari
ation in ,the mineral supply to the
cattle 'that have'been receiving miner
al foods. • ' '
' Dr. Ernest B. Forbes, head, of the
fnatituto'nf..Animal' Nutrition; is in
charge bf the experiments.

A special type of work was carried
on before commencement last year
through which at least short mention
was made of more than half of the
graduating class of six hundred. This
service, according to Mr. Cresswell,
won favorable comment form editors
through Out the State. •
"During the summer," the publicity
director continued, "we set about get.
ting what news we could from the
summer session and its 2800 students.
Everything possible in the way of
personal items, was touched by the
publicity bureau.. •
"When Grace Brown, attending the
nature study camp in the Seven moun
tain, ate fried or fricasiecd rattle.
snake to become eligible to member.
ship in the Den of Rattlers, every
body in Grace's hometown knew about
it.
"Also when Betty Smith hobnobbed
with Hamlin Garland, Irving Bach
eller, Lewis Browne or Genevieve
Taggard in the Institute of English
Education," ho concluded, "the folks
back hothe saw it in the paper with
Betty's name well up In the•lead."

LABORATORICEQUIPMENT
As an aid to the study,of the liqui
fication of certain • gases, the depart
ment of mechanical engineering has
added an apparatus known as the
Heylandt Liquefier to its laboratory
equipinent.
• The• apparatus was presented to
the department by Mr. Harry D. 'Ed-
Wards through the Linde Air Products
Company. It is particularly-adapted
to the' liquification of either oxygen
or nitrogen. '
The contrivance is used consider
ably in commercial work and gives
a - practical demonstration of the ef
fect of a drop in' temperature when
applied to the so-called permanent
gams.

Replying to your circular letter of

I .received the pamphlet describing
your product, which there was not enjoy reading because was not
in the circular matter the usual dis
tasteful sales talk which 'makes the
recipient of a sample package feel
obligated or uncomfortable.
I believe your practice tir giving
your prospect a . sample and then
letting him make' up his own mind
will gain you many more eustoment
than will the usual modern sales prac
tice of pushing the product down the

since receiving your sample and your

chased Iknumber of cans from neigh

MORSE EXPRESSES
FAITH IN COLLEGE
(Continued from first page)
"It is surprising," continued the new
executive, "How many -difficulties are
common to all colleges. Lack of su
pervision over methods of instructors
is one of the old, well established tra
ditions, bound up with the recently
breaking idea that college presidents
and deans must have years of exper
ience and white hair to qualify for
their position. This matter of super
vision is 'one of the most important
and one of the hardest matters to
conduct susccessfully.
"It is important because the work
of the student is bound up inseparably
with teaching methods. The difficul
ty arises because only the very ex
ceptions) cases, in one direction or the
other comes to be generally known."
-Mr. -Morse reviewed the reputation
and history of Penn State, and again
suggested caution in regard to danger
of overemphasizing the size element
of the College.
"We must not forget what to do
