Hotel Men hooking Forward
To Larger HA Department
Leading hotel men in the state are looking forward to the day
when the College will set up a Hotel Administration department
similar to the one at Cornell instead of having a hotel administra
tion course only as a part of the Home Economics department, IL.
Lee Merriman, president of the Hotel Greeters of America, declared
Tuesday at the State College Hotel
By way of improving the cou:
addition of an engineering depart]
since department and a special ac
counting department in hotel
management.
Merriman, maintenance super
visor for the Grenoble Hotels of
Harrisburg, Inc. and manager of
a Waynesboro hotel, is the first
of a series of prominent hotel men
who arc scheduled each week to
give their views on various phases
of hotel management. This theme
Tuesday afternoon was "Furni
ture Construction'
A graduate in engineering.from
Geneva College, Merriman later
studied architecture at Cornell.
He spent two years in vaudeville
before becoming publicity direc
tor for a Harrisburg hotel.
Merriman, who stands 6 ft. 2"
tall and weighs 335 pounds, capi
talized on his size by carrying a
huge 5 x 7 calling card when he
was publicity director. The size
of the card readily stirred the
curiosity of business prospects
whe were even more nonplussed
when confronted with the huge
man in person.

The articles may be on any
phase of any type of welding or
its application to design or con
struction.
Judging of the articles will be
clone by a grovo selected by the
American Welding Society, and
will be based on originality of

Experiments Seek
Liberty Ship Fault
In experiments to determine
the cause for the cracking *of war
time Liberty ships at sea, engi
neers at the College yesterday
fractured a steel sphere by drop
ping the temperature to 40 de
grees below zero, Fahrenheit.
Dr. Joseph Marin, professor of
engineering mechanics, in charge
of the project, explained that the
stresses and temperatures to
which the sphere was exposed
were comparable to the stresses
exerted on the welded plates of
ships and to temperatures some
times encountered at sea.
In the test, a hollow metal
sphere, 20 inches in diameter and
one-half inch in thickness, was
used. The sphere was subjected
to stresses from internal fluid
which paralleled stresses on the
welded plates of the Liberty
ships. When the temperature
reached minus 40 degrees, the
sphere cracked.
The $lB,OOO experiments, spon
sored by the Welding Research
Council with funds provided by
industrial organizations, will be
continued.
Assisting Dr. Marin are J. H.
Faupel and V. L. Dutton, research
assistants, S. S. Eckley and Homer
Johnson, mechanics.
