PAGE TWO
On The Air Map
With the inauguration of All American Airways’
new Pittsburgh-New York route through State
College, one more transportation bottleneck falls
to the advance of progress and 18,000 people will
be afforded an easy access to the “outside world.”
FOR YEARS students and townspeople have
joked half-heartedly about the inaccessibility of
the College, and the many and varied means of
transport one had to employ to reach it.
In the early days of the College’s history, the
clattering railroads brought prospective students
to the outlying metropolises of Lewistown, Lock
Haven, or Spruce Creek . . . but no further. From
there on, it was anybody’s guess how soon the
College could be reached by stagecoach, livery, or
buckboard.
WITH THE COMING of motor vehicles, the
stages were replaced by a more modem mode of
travel. That left two fairly trustworthy and de
pendable ways of getting to the lair of the Nittany
Lion, ways which have continued under growing
strain to the present time.
The men who had: the foresight and vision to
extend Centre County’s transportation facilities
into the clouds are to be congratulated . . . not
merely for providing one more outlet for a travel
hungry populace, but for helping insure the future
growth of the College and the town.
Miscellany...
Two easily-constructed micromanometers
and a midget fuel spray viewer, developed by
the Engineering Experiment Station are de
scribed in a recent issue of "Laboratory Equip-
ment for Testing and Research Work on Diesel
Engines."
The micromanometers can measure pressures of
0.200 inches of water to an accuracy of plus or
minus 1 per cent.
The versatile fuel spray viewer allows visual
observation of the injection on the engine making
it possible .to see stroboscopically the beginning
and end of the injection and its general appear
ance. Such factors as injection lag, duration of in
jection, the spray form, and the presence of sec
ondary injections or excessive “dribble” are
readily determined.

of the American Legion Auxiliary, Nittany Unit

and appreciation to the student body for. their
grand support of the annual Poppy Day, Saturday,

Each year Legion auxiliaries all over the coun

abled veterans.
Thanks to the wonderful support given us by
the students, a lot of veterans will be receiving
medical care and pocket money that could not be
given them otherwise.

It's Your Program
C. M. “Dutch” Sykes, of the College’s intramural
department, has labored long and hard in setting
up a recreational program for the Main Summer
Session.
In doing so. Sykes has made up a program
which will allow for many variations of enter
tainment for you —the summer student on
the Penn State campus.
Bridge, swimming, dances, “Fun Night,” group
singing and outdoor movies in the natural outdoor
amphitheatre are included in the list. In addition,
athletic-minded summer students can register for
the tournaments being planned in golf, softball
and tennis.
Establishing such a schedule of entertain
ment wasn't easy, but Sykes and the intra
mural office have done a good job in planning
entertainment for you.
Tomorrow night in White Halt, the annual Sum
mer Session reception will begin at 8 p.m. This is
the start of a big week in summer activity for the
students. A big crowd would help to start the week
off on the right foot.
It's your program. Take advantage of it.
