THE SUMMER COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVATA
College Says
Lorch Won't
Teach Class
According to Ben Euwema.
dean of the School of Liberal
Arts, Dr. Lee Lorch, 34-year-old
assistant professor of mathemat
ics, will not be permitted to
teach at the Summer Session.
Dean Euwema made the state
ment on Monday, July 3, after
Lorch had stated that he would
teach at the' College during the
Main Summer Session
"Dr. Lorch's contract expired
on June 30," said Deg Euwema.
"and we have made no plans to
Txtend or renew it."
Lorch had been 'informed that
he would be given an option to
teach at the Summer Session
when he was hired, Euwema
added. However, no new contract
to this effect was signed and
Lorch was later informed that he
would not 7 - )e rehired during the
.-ummer term, he said.
Claims Prejudice
. Dr. Lorch claims that failure to
renew his ccntract came as the
result of publicity received when
,he invited a Negro veteran to live
in the apartment he occupied in
the Stuyvesant housing project
in New York. With other mem
bers of the village, Larch had
'.campaigned to allow Negroes to
be admitted to the project.
However, the College claims
that Lorch's contract was for one
year, and that it was under. no
obligation to renew it.
Lorch said in a recent state
ment that although he did not
know what course he will pursue
in trying to regain his job, he
plans to continue to press for his
reappointment.

Giant Water Tunnel To Receive

Plans are being drawn for a
new water tunnel, an air tunnel,

The new Navy units would

ing, would be used for testing
purposes by the Ordnance Re
search Laboratory.
The proposed tunnel would

one-fourth the size of the Gar
field Thomas Water Tunnel. The
circuit would be an approximate
square, 20 feet on each side, as
cumpared to the larger tunnel
which is 100 feet long and 32 feet
high.
Smaller Models
Dr. R. B. Power, engineer in
charge of construction, says the
small tunnel would test smaller
models and provide facilities for
conducting tests not possible with
the giant tunnel.
The air tunnel, or wind tunnel,
would have a test section of four
feet. Dr. J. M. Robertson, engi
neer in charge of operations,
points out that the air tunnel
would have' certain advantages
over a water tunnel in studying
turbulence, fluctuations of veloc
ity, and other conditions. Work
ing in air makes possible the ob
taining of more detailed data
than can bct obtained when work
ing in water.
