Telephone Operator Retires After 35 Years of Service A familiar voice will be missing when you pick up your telephone to dial the College after Saturday. Rending approval of the Board of Trustees,- Mrs. Mary J. .Bitner, who has been chief operator of the Col lege administration switchboard for the past 20 years, will retire on that date. Altogether, Mrs. Bitner has spenlt 35 years as a telephone op erator in the community. She be gan work at the State College ex change in 1900, and for-li2 of the next 15 years she was the opera tor -in charge. She .married Guy O. Bitner in 1914, resigned the Bell Telephone Company -position in 1915, and moved with her husiband -to Pitts burgh in 1918, where she did War .work in the Union Switch and Signal Aircraft Company.

Ban ner, adviser, announced today. The purpose of the meeting is to elect officers and to make plans for resuming normal activities be fore the end of this semester. To be eligible for membership in Sigma Delta Chi, a man must have the expressed desire to en ter the periodical or publicity field of newspaper; he must be outstanding academically, and prominent ‘in campus activities. Normally, many of these potential members have had Collegian or summer experience in the news paper field. (However, while it isn’t essential for consideration, some experience is an absolute necessity before graduation. Thirty representative members of the Pennsylvania press editors and publishers, are members of the local Penn State Chapter. The group sponsors frequent lunch eons with editors, helps conduct high school press conferences in the spring, holds gridiron dinners for' campus BMOC’s, entertains publishers when they are here for conventions, and holds smokers for Journalism men. Societies Aid On Research ■Local chapters of the American Association of ‘University Profes sors and • Sigma Xi met together on Tuesday to consider promotion of graduate study and research at colleges and universities. Dr. Bruce V. Moore presided. To define and ennumerate fields covered by graduate study, papers were read by Professors Joseph ■H. Simons, Jesse S. Doolittle, and Douglass S. Mead on basic sciences, applied sciences and non-scientific fields, respectively. Professor Wendell E. Keepper led a discussion! of what can be done at Penn State to further oppor tunities for graduate work. The AAUP’s committee on graduate study suggested that periodic bulletins, supplying avail able information and points of view on the subject be prepared and distributed to stimulate dis cussions Also suggested by the committee was a faculty-directed questionnaire on facilities and personnel for study. Both the bul letin and questionnaire were ap proved by the assembly, and the 1 .committee on graduate study is to continue working on them. in October 1925. Although two op erators then took care of all calls, without the aid cf dormitory or extension Switchboards, Mrs. Bit ner points out -that -there were on ly 247 telephone extensions then as compared with 600 now. Today three operators handle more than double the work two operators had in 1925. “Work has been much heavier since the war,” Mrs. Bitner said. “Our busiest hours used to be just before 12 noon and 5 p. m. Now we are continually busy, and Sat urday morning is the worst.” Biggest emergency she remem bers during her period of service was the fire in th'e bull pen on December 29, 1937. Of th'e eight ooerators now with the College, half have been here from 15 to 20 years, and the other half have been employed for sev eral years—a fact which reflects Mi's. Bitner’s success as a super visor. ' Pitt Defeats State, 7-0; 84-Yard Ruin Wins Game A freak 84 yard run by Pitt’s Jimmy Joe Robinson was enough to spell defeat for Penn State on Saturday afternoon. Robinson’s counter was the single tally of the afternoon but it was enough to edge the Lions 7-0. Penn State showed a slight superiority as far as the statistics were concerned, boasting a lead in first downs 12-7. Inability to couple their passing attack with a running at tack when it would do the most good was a weakness that might have lost the game for State. State’s most potent thrust came on the heels of Robin- Hetzel To Honor Faculty, Staff For the (first time since 1941, President and Mrs. 'Ralph D.

Returning the kickoff to their 36, Tepsic hit left tackle for six and Larry Cooney raced for 19 on a reverse to the opposite side. Ventresco flipped a pass to Coon ey good for 14 yards. Ventresco and Cooney teamed up to put the ball on the Pitt 11, but a third down pass by Tepsic was inter cepted on the three yard line by Ed Zimmovan and saved the day for Pitt. • The Lions showed decided sup eriority in the earlv stages of the second half. Ventresco moved the ball past midfield on a 13 yard dash. An exchange of punts added extra' yardage but all advantages were lost when Ventresco trying to pass from Pitt’s 28 was snowed under and fumbled on the 42. ■Near the end of the third per iod Joe Tepsic put State back in the ball game when he grabbed a punt on his own 33 and fought his way to the Pitt 23, a dazzling 44 yard display of open field run ning. Here again State-.-failed- to capitalize on opportunity when two tries by Cooney and Tepsic failed to make a first down and Pitt took over. Penn State’s air attack failed to function when it was needed most. They registered four completed passes from 20 attempts for a total passing yardage of 67 yards. The victory was the Panther’s third this fall, against seven de feats, and it also brought a six game losing streak to an end. For State it was the third setback, having lost previously to Navy and Michigan. State. Lions Paw Closes Mt.
