Werner Heaves
Hammer 140 Feel
After watching two of the best
hammer-throwing prospects for
the . Lion's track team heave out
the weight, Chick Werner, Nit
tany mentor, stepped up to give
Ben Slovner and Bull Stern a
few pointers. Following the
theory that demonstration is the
best teacher, Chick offered to
spot the boys 30 feet and still
beat them in a little contest.
The two Nittany trackmen had
been throwing the hammer about
110 feet. Werner, although not - a
hammer-slinger,' but a hurdler,
stripped off his coat, and with his
vest still on, grasped the hammer
and flung it very near 140 feet,
making good his 30 foot advan
-tage.
Considering that the world's
record, as held by Karl Hein of
Germany, is 185 feet, Chick's un
practiced demonstration of 140
feet was impressive.
To Cut Or Not To Cut

taming the students when they
are in a mood receptive to lit
tle else. However, a number of
years ago there was such a prof..
He invited his class to bring
their dates to the Saturday
morning lecture and hinted that
white ties and silver slippers
would not be frowned upon. A
few minutes after 3 o'clock, be
gowned in academic garb, 1 - 4.%
strolled into the room. Placing
his mortar-board head-gear on
the desk, he delivered a stir
ring mock commen cement
speech.
Before dismissing his- class of
drooping evening gowns and
wrinkled tuxedoes, the profes
sor presented each of his sen
iors with a pseudo-diploma. No
one has been ever known to du
plicate his performance that .
Saturday morning.
Many more• approaches are
taken by the members of the
faculty as they constantly face
'new post-dance situations on
Saturday mornings. Last night
was an,All-College,- all-out cele
bration. Today students ask
themselves "Shall I go to my 8
o'clock or shall I cut?"

42 Freshmen Learning
Knack Of Slick Handling
About 42 ambitious frosh
showed up for lacrosse practice
yesterday, devoting the greater
part of the session to learning
the intricacies of stick work.
As ground conditions improve,
frosh Coach Murph Temkovits
hopes to put the freshmen
through simple playing forma
tions. Instruction in the rudi
ments of the sport is still under
way because only two boys have
had any previous playing exper
ience.

Letters In The Editor's
Discussion On U.S.
Labor Problems
To the Editor:
In regard to Professor Reede's
questions in your issue of April
2, there are several points which
I would like to call to your at
tention.
First concerning the number
of workers involved in strikes
at the present time and during
the first World War. During
the five months, June through
October of 1916, there were
nearly 1 1 / 2 times as many work
ers involved in strikes as dur
ing the same months 'of 1940,
despite the fact that there were
only 4-5 as many persons em
ployed at that earlier time. See
the Nation, January 11, 1941,
page 33.
Second: That the strikes in
the Bethlehem Steel Corp. have
been due to the company's re
fusal to obey the rulings of the
NLRB, despite the fact that
these rulings were upheld by the
Supreme Court. See the New
Republic of October 14, 1940.
I believe that these few in
stances out of many "'point to
the justifiability of many of
our present strikes, and , also
that the situation is not as bad
as many try to make it seem.
Respectfully yours,
William H. Harbold '43

About Chapel Funds
To the Editor:
I am puzzled as to - why our
chapel offerings have been par
tially diverted from their work
at Lingnan University in China.
China is creeping toward the
"sun" of Western civilization—
she must have trained, intellec
tually alert leaders—Lingnan is
one of the few sources of such
men. Support of. Lingnan, then,
means: 1. another jet of supply
in one of the most critical bottle
necks in China; and 2. an inval
uable investment in international
goodwill— worth double the
money!
Two thousand dollars is far
more useful in China—in terms
of the essentials of life, educa
tional growth, sincere friendship
—than it is here; $2,000 is much
scarcer in China than here. Isn't
it wise to maintain (at least) the
amount of our investment? Can't
we fill local needs in a way that
will have less crippling power?
I am puzzled as to why the
Lingnan fund has been diminish
ed, for I see no situation des
parate enough to warrant this
action, that can't be met in other
ways. C'mon Cabinet! (and stu-

Sincerely yours,

culture,'not Lingnan politicos.
We're Inconsistent,
A Reader Says
To the Editor:
Two editorials in March 22's
Daily Collegian seem to repre
sent inconsistent ideas. In the
first you say that "if we gain
(world dominion) at the ex
pense of the rest of the nations,
we will be ruling a solitude."
In the second you suggest that
"selfishly, it seems we should
take care of our own charities
before we take care of the Chin
ese."
If we could aid in the recon
struction of all countries em
battled by conflict, we would
be helping the cause of world
peace immeasurably. It is not
merely a matter of Chinese agri
culture or Pennsylvania educa
tion but a matter of world peace
or selfish nationalism.
Sincerely,
D. Ned Linegar,
Associate Secretary, PSCA
Editor's Note: Collegian
wants world peace for selfish,
not world reasons. If interna
tional freedom and the elimin
ation of national barriers is
possible even at a sacrifice to
America, Collegian would love
to see it. But it does not think
that means Penn State should
support Lingnan in China:
