Wrestling Champ
Blasts Japanese
Penn State's newest war hero is
Major Frank Gleason, former
Eastern Intercollegiate wrestling
champion and commander of the
16-man army that left 300 miles
of southeastern China in utter
ruin on a unique mission of des
truction.
Gleason. who won the wrestling
crown as a sophomore, and his
15-soldier-assistants went to Chi
na last summer to school the na
tives in the use of explosivesc,
.but before their course of instruc
tion got underway, the Japs be
gan their autumn offensive. It was
then that Gleason and his men
threw theft books away, went to
rk.
The 16 _Americans; operating in
teams of twc or three, went meth
odically to work mining road
junctions, digging cavities under
bridges, under abutments in the
sides of defiles. When the Jap
campaign got up full steam in Oc
tober, Gleason's destroyers were
ready to tamp in charges, fuse
them and blow.
7inde.e
Safely back behind their own
lines, Gleason and his men added
up the results of their adventure.
They had accounted for some 150
bridges, 50 roadblocks, 20 to 30
ferries, one tunnel, and an assort
ment of locomotives, trucks, and
other vehicles.
Gleason, a Wilkes-Barre youth
and one of four brothers and sis
ters in the armed services, cap
tained the Nittany Licn wrestling
team in his senior year. He grad
uated with honors from the cur
riculum in Chemical engineering.
He wrestled at 136 pounds, but
now weighs 170.

prehensive examination.
Since languages do not fit into
any of the four classifications,
they would be provided for under
a supplementary course system
comparable to the present one of
electives, a spokesman said.
Other recommendations includ
ed an extensive advisory system
and college placement examina
tions which would place students
according to their ability. Conver
sion to the four quarter system
was also under discussion.
Specifically the ccmmittee ask
ed that students be assigned ex
tensive outside reading lists, that
classes be smaller, that labora
tories be used in liberal arts sci
ence courses, and that there be
more discussion in class with a
corresponding decrease in empha
sis on lecture.
The Committee also believed
that a distinction should be made
between passed and honors de
grees. The latter would be awar
ded to students who made out
standing records in comprehensive
examinations.
Members of the committee hea
ded by Ruth Contant are Martin
Cohen, Gertrude Lawatsch, Shir
ley Levine. Phyllis de Mauriac,
and Muriel Wohlman.
There will be another meeting
for these same groups in the
Northwest Lounge of Atherton
Hall 4:15 p. m. January 30. It is
expected that before this time
campus leaders will present this
plan tc• their groups and return
with their reactions and additional
suggestions.
