Ex-GI Leads Triple Life
War : Veteran Scott Stetler may
go to the classroom alone, but at
home he has a wife, two children
—and an animal kingdom—wait
ing for him. ' '
Home is, a small cottage—Mrs.
Stetler . calls it “a sort of dream
house’—about a mile beyond the
town limits.- Sharing its warmth
with the Stetlers are a dog and
cat, both familyy pets.
Stetler, who’s attending the
College., after six and one-half
years in the Navy, virtually leads
a triple life. He looks upon his
college career, not as a one-man
job, but as a family enterprise.
He’s a conscientious student, and
studies every night—“in the bed
room, with the door closed,” his
wife explains, adding that this ar
rangement permits her to “play
the radio without annoying him.”
By day he cjoes part-time elec
trical repair work to supplement
his GI income, and all the rest of
the time he's “Daddy”—the world's
best guy—to his sons, Jimmy, 3
years,; and David, 11 months.-

Reference Librarians
Know The Answers
Do you know why General
Wainwr.ght was accorded a 17-
gun salute when, he returned to
•New Yor-k lollowing his imprison
ment? Is a ham canape eaten with
a fork or with yyour hands?
No, the Collegian is not emu
lating “Information Please,’ but
mereiy referring you r latest $64
questions to the library reference
desk.
As school librarians discovered
last year, many students are con
fronted with simple but perplex
ing questions either in their so
cial life or in the classroom. Their
vagueness and apparent insign
ificance stumps even the three
pointers.
How is Chinese Kowtow per
formed? Whose poem begins “I
can’t take that nickel?” What is
the longitude and latitude of State
College?
These and many other brain
teasers are solved readily by
books available at the reference
department.
Besides the usual indexes, bio
graphies, and atlases, weekend ad
venturers can find invaluable in
formation on bus schedules, and
hotels, and restaurants in all parts
of the country.
Various reports for numerous
governmental agencies too are
at the students’ disposal listed
iunder “U. S.” in the card cata
logue or kept at the periodical
desk.
The library staff urge's everyone
to take full advantages of the
building’s facilities.
Mms isa ‘lfho’s Who’
'Dr. Clifford E. Adams, associate
professor of education and psy
chology, was listed in the monthly
supplement of “Who’s Who.” .The
supplement contains biographies
wh'ch will appear in the biennial
volume. His name will also be seen
in the next volume of “The Book
of Authorities” which is an index
arranged according to the special
isms involved. He will be listed
under “Family Relations.”
