Respected as John Bull by an Englishman, feared like Davy Jones by a sailor, and as real as Santa Claus to ,a six-year -old, is Mr: A. B. Jones, wonderman of Penn State's electrical • engineer ing departthent. Familiar to E. E.'s for over 20 years, Mr. Jones is boogie-man to students as he serves in the ca pacity of everything from general manager •of numerous electrical companies to editor of "Modern Engineer," fictitious technical pub lication. According to Prof. Harold I. Tarpley, of the department, when electrical engineering reports were first begun, an imaginary character to whom these reports should be written, was necessary. Thus came the birth of A. 8., who today is still the supposed recipi- THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 16, STATE COLLEGE, PA ent of the various data written by the students. "And he's a tough man to deal with," stated Professor Tarpley. "If he, doesn't like the style of a report or doubts the information enclosed, he always tells the stu dent's-instructor about it, who in turn 'deducts for the writer's grade," he continued. Students have become so at tached to this legendary, terror that a picture , of him has been hung in the office of Prof. Earl B. 'Stavely, 103 E. E. Building. This picture was presented in 1939 by Eta Kappa Nu, electrical engineering fi'aternity, and shows an artists conception of A. B. He is pictured as a meek looking character parked behind a desk stacked high with students' late reports. In the background is a . ~ . . . . • . . . • • • • . . • • • • . • .. : „ . • .. •... , . . " - ` photograph of F. D: R. Jones, ru mored to be his only child. An amusing story told concern ing Mr. Jones tells of how last semester a student in one of the mechanical engineering classes mischieviously signed Jones, A. 8., to a roll sheet, during the se mester's first class.' At the next session Jones answered present to the roll call but fbr five periods after that he was absent. Concerned over Jones' classroom delinquency, the professor report ed the case to Dean Harry P. Hammond, only to find that he had been fooled by the imaginary .character. Sentiment around the E. E. Building runs along the line that versatile technical men may come and go but there will never be an other to compare to A. B. Jones, superman of the electrical world. PRICE THREE CENTS CAlRO—British forces in Africa have stemmed the German ad vance at various points in the des ert. German panzer divisions and Italian infantry units have met with unexpected reinforced Eng lish colonial troops. Reliable sources state that the impending conflict shows all the evidences of being one of the most spectacular conflicts of the war. WASHINGTON The Stand ard Oil Company, in coordination with defense authorities, stated that they could produce enough synthetic rubber by 1943 to.satis fy all military and civilian needs. AFGHANISTAN Turkish border scouts reported the appar ent mobilization of German troops along the coast and the Aegean Isles. It has not been ascertained conclusively whether it will lead to the invasion of Turkey or the forced occupation of the island of Cypress.
