Reports Show
WSSF Success
Scattered reports from WSSF
solicitators indicated that the
World Student Service Fund
drive is progressing well, said
Mark Elcan, co-chairman today.
However, women students have
been less responsive than men to
the drive, Elcan continued.
The drive which is being held
Ito raise relief money for univer
sity students in Europe and Asia
will continue today and tomor
row for students. Faculty mem
bers will be contacted until
Thursday. In conjunction with the
drive, WSSF is sponsoring an ex
hibit on the second floor of the
library.
Although the government sup
plies food stuffs and heavy equip
ment to ERP countries, there is
still an urgent need for funds for
books, medical care, food, cloth
ing, and housing for students in
these countries, according to the
WSSF national executive com
mittee. WSSF operates on the
principle that "the future of man
rests in the minds of the students
of the world" and that aid from
university, persons to fellow stu
dents and professors is important
for building universal solidarity.
The major portion of this year's
funds will be sent to the Philip
pines for books and supplies.
Funds over $2400 will put into
WSSF's general fund for emerg
ency use.
Last year's drive aided a stu
dent-operated hospital in Tripli
cane Madras, India, and 12 Polish
tubercular students in a Swedish
sanitorium.

Track Records
Continued from page five
Barney Plesser teamed together
in 1942 to set the record of 3 min
utes 26.5 seconds.
The distance medley relay was
set one year ago by Paul Koch,
Mitch Williams, Bill Shuman and
Gerry Karver. The quartet sped
over the distance in 10 minutes 17
seconds.
FIELD
Turning to the field events, the
most recent varsity record is that
set by Dave Pincus in 1948 when
he threw the discus 153 feet and
three-fourths of an inch.
The pole vault record is some
what older, having survived since
1941 when Joe Bakura established
it with a jump of 13 feet 5 inches.
The high jump record was set by
Jim Sykes in 1946 when he clear
ed the bar at a height of 6 feet 5
and one-half inches.
The running broad jump record
has lasted for 21 years. In 1928,
Ad Bates set it with a leap of 24
feet 10 and one-half inches. Mike
Brown owns the record for the
16-pound shot put. In 1937, Mike
tossed the iron ball 48 feet and
three-fourths of an inch.
One year later Nick Vucinanic
set the javelin mark with a toss
of 223 feet 10 and one-half inches.
Oldest field record belongs to
Lee Talbot, an Olympic man, who,
in 1911, threw the 16-pound ham
mer a total of 173 feet 6 inches.
FACTORS
Although these are the official
Nittany varsity records, some bet•
ter ones have been turned in by
Penn Staters through the years.
According to Coach Werner, there
are several factors which enter
into the consideration of a rec
ord before it is declared official.
"Some boys finishing second
have turned in better marks than
those recorded but a boy must
finish first before we will con
sider his record as official," he
said. "Also, the conditions under
which the record was set must be
favorable. We will not credit a
boy with having set a record if he
is aided by a strong wind, as has
been the case in several instances
in the past."
Such was the case with Barney
Ewell. In his senior year Barney
turned in times of 9.4 seconds for
the 100-yard dash and 20.5 sec
onds for the 220-yard dash. Both
times were set at the IC4-A meet
but the referee disallowed both
times, claiming that Barney was
aided by a slight wind.
There have also been times, ac
cording to Werner, when a Penn
State man or relay team has bet
tered the world's record, but for
one of the reasons already men
tioned, has not been officially
credited with the mark.
