'Press Agent' Alumnus
Spreads Data on
College
Meeting somebody who "has
heard about''' . Penn State is no
novelty to students and alumni.
But meeting a stranger who had
never been to the campus but
could draw a map of it was:a
'novel experience Ito Alan• Pot
tasch, a member of this year's
boxing team.
Alan was riding on a train in
the mid-West when a sailor en=
gaged him in 'conversation, told
him 'he knew all about the
campus, and to prove • it drew a
map showing College avenue, Al
len street, the engineering units,
Old Main, Ag Hill and other high
spots.
The sailor finally cleared up
the mystery: He!s stationed at
Navy Pier Chicago where Jim
Stavley '44 is a radio technician.
"That 'boy Jim," Said the, sailor,
"is a regular one-man chamber. of
commerce."
