WEDNESDAY, .00TOBER 4, 1950 President's Mansion . . . . President's Mansion Once Gave View of Countryside Tucked away in an obscure corner of the campus, almost com pletely surrounded by scivat ugly engineering units, stands the President's Home. Yet at the time it was built the site was selected because "our buildings should command the whole site of the College" and in 1862, when construction was started, it afforded a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. Evan Pugh, first President of the College, was responsible for the original structure when he agreed to pay $lOOO of the $3OOO needed to build a suitable resi dence. The house was built in the same style as Old Main, the so-called Italian Villa style cur rent in this country at the time.' But Pugh never lived to see its completion. He died on April 29, 1864, and construction was ended late in the same year. Although Substantial changes have been made in the structure since then, the building today, with its stately white columns, its landscaping, and its floral observatory, is' essentially the same as the one first built in 1864. With the ascendancy of Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower to the office of president, the 16-room mansion will have its tenth occupant. The dwelling has been the home of all the Presidents of the College since its construction. President James Calder (1871- 1880) established a vineyard and was responsible for the general layout of the grounds. In 1895, President Atherton re modeled the home, which was. greatly in need of repairs. Since th e advent of Prexy Ralph Dorn Hetzel in '1926, facul ty receptions have been held in Old Main instead of the mansion because of the, greatly increased size of the staff. The last important changes in the President's Home were made in 1940, when the roof and porch were rebuilt to their present form, and the lily pond, cement ' foot bridge, and other small ad ditions were added. 1 ASCE Elects Officers The American Society of Civil Engineers recently elected the 'following officers: William Hank ey, president; Harold Light, vice president; Willie Reasner, secre 4tary; William Rorabaugh, treas urer; and Richard Kligensmith, publicity chairman.

Groups Combine One of the main features of the YWCA program was an annual play. In 1930 the YM and YW be: gan to share many projects pre viously done separately. And in 1934 the two groups were com bined and became the Penn State Christian Association. Since 1943 the PSCA has bad two executive secretaries. James T. Smith served from 1943 till 1948 when'the present leader, Lu ther H. Harshbarger, assumed his duties. In its 75 years of service to Penn State the PSCA has ini tiated and maintained many great and helpful programs and groups.

But Gene is the more accomplished fielder. Center field—Here the Yanks have the edge. With the great Joe DiMaggio in center Richie Ash burn would have to perform mir acles to top him. But, believe it or not, Rich did outhit Joe on the season, .303 to .301. Joe packs more power by far though, and was hitting .400 during the stretch run. Right Field—Here the Kids' Del Ennis holds the lead. Del led the National League in runs batted in :with 125 and hit .313 including 31 homers. But Hank Bauer of the Yanks is .no slouch. Hank hit .321. Both are good fielders and both have powerful arms. As a team the Yanks hit .282 to the Phils .265. The Bombers also led in fielding with a .981 average to the Phils .976. On paper it appears that the Yanks have the decided advan tage. .But they don't play base ball on paper. If they did the Boston Red Sox would be meet ing the Brooklyn Dodgers in this Fall's classic. And they're not.
