' ) ’AGE FOUR
Angel m Cyfs In On Westminster;
OH Main Chimes Rian Rampant
'■The Old Main chimes rang
ion many times!” is a familiar
rjy to the ear of Mr. Harold E.
Beyers, chief electrician of the
power house, who receives a tel
ephone call with that message
almost every night at six when
the clock chimes 15 times instead
oi the usual six.
The reason for this idiosyn
crasy of the (usually) reliable Old
Wain timepiece lies with the fact
that two sets of chimes are em
ployed. The Westminster chimes,
a gift of the class of 1937, are
used throughout the day and
night except for the hour of six
when the Angelus chimes cut in
and peal 15 times.
The clock-chime system itself
a set of four cabinets which
are installed in Room 405 Old
Main. The master box, which is
the nucleus of the entire time
keeping mechanism, and the
chime cabinet hang on the wall;
Die other two are floor cabinets
that contain the 150 watt ampli
fying system.
It is hard to realize that the
chimes themselves consume no
more room than that stack of
books you carry to class. They
ore, however, but six small metal
coils that are struck by small ob
jects much like the eraser end of

a pencil.
The vibrations of the coils are
relayed to the powerful amplify
ing cabinets- which in turn, re
lays the now powerful notes to
the tower to be sent out over a
set of eight horns. In order for
the chimes to be heard on all
extremities of the campus, it is
necessary to have the horns on
the western side of the tower
more powerful s than the others
because 'of the strong western
winds that are so prevalent in
State College.
The actual timekeeping of the
tower clock is also an intriguing
system. The master box in Room
405 keeps an accurate checkup
on the time and relays the move
ments to a small sewing machine
motor in the tower. The motor
moves the hands by means of
four rods, enclosed in pipes, that
connect to the clock like the
spokes of a wheel.
The hands on the tower clock
stop when there is nq current
and the master box, which is
equipped with a pendulum, has
to make up the time lost when
the current is turned back on.
The master clock makes up time
on the tower clock at a rate of
ten minutes an hour.

We, The Women
We Could Say...
But We Won't
We could say that it is-vour
duty to vote today for the mem
bers of WSGA Senate and WRA
Board.
We could say that your vote
might, just might, put the right
women in office.
We could say that learning to
exercise your vote now will en
courage good habits - for local,
state, and national elections of
the future. We could say that
there isn’t much sense in having
a self-government set-up if a
minority puts the leaders in of
fice. '
We could say that you owe it
to yourself and your friends to
cast "a ballot today.
We could say that you should
vote for the coed who fits the
requirements for good leadership.
We could say that you should
not let personal prejudices enter
into voting today.
We could say that often the
best candidate is not your,soror-
Ity sister or friend.
We could say that you are a rat
if vou don’t vote.
But, like Caesar, we wouldn’t
say these things. Because they
have been said by other people,
in bygone days, and in individ
ual manners. You have heard all
the arguments before. You will
hear them all again next year in
still other words.
But this year why not think
about them, analyze the candi
dates, pick the ones you think
best qualified to do the job, and
then mark a neat “X” beside
their names today.
