Fragments of Glass
TO THE EDITOR: The onlooker's explanation
for the explosion of Rea and Derick's heat
strengthened polished glass door is most ridicu
lous. Air is not "pumped into" the glass.
To temper a glass plate it is heated uniformly
until it begins to soften. There is free molecular
movement and the entire mass is expanded. The
plate is quickly moved to a position between two
blasts of air which must be uniformly distributed
over the surface with equal pressure on both sides.
The surface thus becomes chilled and rigid. Due
to the poor heat conductivity of the glass, the in
terior portion of the plate cools more slowly and
remains molten for some time.
Solidification of the surface by rapid chilling
fixes the dimensions of the plate while it is ex
panded. As the interior cools, it shrinks and tries
to draw the surface inward. This it cannot do as
the surface is already fixed in size.
Tempered glass is many times stronger than
regularly annealed glass and can be deflected near
ly six times as far without breaking.
When a severe blow fractures the edge or
surface, the characteristic "lace curtain" type of
fracture occurs disintegration into relatively
small and harmless fragments as compared to
ordinary annealed glass.

Spring Week's Comin`
Spring is here at last! Its arrival brings more than budding
trees, buzzing bees, nesting birds, sweatered coeds and lightly
turning young men's fancies.
To the campus it brings the first annual Penn State Spring
Week, which is destined to take its rightful place amohg the re
nowned festivals of the eastern colleges.
Big plans have been laid for a tremendous All - College
celebration, with a sufficient variety of events to stimulate 100%
participation.
Among the outstanding features of the Week is the fact that
some of the profits which will be realized as an incidental part of
the fun, will aid unfortunate students in the Philippines, through
the World Student Service Fund.
The list of events is an imposing one, starting with a Faculty
Talent Show and intramural wrestling finals, building up to a gay
street Carnival, climaxed by the IFC-Panhel Ball and music by
Tommy Dorsey.
But that's not all. The last two days of the Week offer a break
fast radio program from the TUB, a bebop concert, houseparties
(independent as well as fraternity) and the Men's Glee Club concert.
Much hard work, original thought and careful planning have
been poured into the project to assure its success. It will have been
futile if students fail to get into the spirit of the festivity.
Never let it be said that Dartmouth and Cornell can outshine
Penn State in "Big Weeks."
