Long's 'Shanty'
Prom Favorite .
The 1368 ticket holders at the
Junior Prom—as well as all their
friends with whom they shared
them —felt right at home in the
midst of the Prenchy atmosphere.
For up on the bandstand was
Johnny Long, an old college man
himself (Duke University, ’35)
who specializes in campus fav
orites, such as “A Shanty in Old
Shanty Town,” and “I’ll Build
a Bungalow.” “Shanty Town”
was requested several times at
the dance.
“The prettiest campus next to
Duke” is Johnny’s description of
Penn State. He has made several
appearances here, the last one
being two years ago. But, by now,
playing for college dances is old
stuff for the left-handed violinist:
he started during his' undergrad
days at Duke, where he organized
a band to play in the school din
ing hall.
JohnnY has another indirect tie
with' the College in the form of
Johnny Murphy, formerly Fred
Waring’s manager. Johnny Mur
phy does the greater share of
the arranging, which Johnny
Long also helps with.
Prior to .his appearance on
campus, Long completed a tour of
Canada Which he wound up in
Oneida, N.Y.

Wire System
Demonstrated
A system for the transmission
of “more words with less wires”
was demonstrated Thursday night
in Schwab auditorium by Dr. J.
O: Perrine, assistant vice-presi
dent of the American Telephone
and Telegraph-company.
The lecture, sponsored by Sig
ma Pi Sigma, national physics
honorary, was attended by about
350 students and faculty mem
bers.
“We are living in an environ
ment of waves,” Dr. Perrine said,
in pointing out the basic princi
ples involved in the transmission
of simultaneous telephone con
versations over the same wire
through the use of carrier waves
of alternating curreht on dif
ferent frequencies.*
He illustrated the system by
sending four recorded conver
sations simultaneously along the
same wire between two minia
ture switchboards, representing
Pittsburgh and State College.
Dr. Perrine also demonstrated
the operation of micro-wave re
lay stations, some of which' are
already in operation and are
capable of handling hundreds of
telephone conversations as well
as several television circuits."
“These developments as well
as the great inventions in oth,er
fields came about because men
and women went down deep,
stayed long, and came up with
something brilliant,” Dr. Perrine
said.

Home Ec's Hatcher
Off To Germany
Dr. Hazel M. Hatcher, of the
department of Home Economics
Education, departed for Frank
fort, Germany, where she will
work in the educational program
of the State department.
Dr. Hatcher will spend three
months working with student and
faculty groups at the University
of Giessen and the Home Eco
nomics institute. Her work will be
largely a continuation of work
already started here at the Col
lege. Some of .the faculty mem
bers of these colleges have visited
Penn State and are familiar with
the program of the School of
Home Economics.
Two years ago Dr. Hatcher
spent a year in Chile where she
conducted similar work for the
Institute of Inter-American Af
fairs of the Department of State.
Prof Explains Powerful
Ideas Of Past Centuries
The history of the past three centuries has been marked by the
emergence of two. great ideas, both of them deriving from the teach
ings of Jesus, and both of which have become powerful historic
forces, said William B. Edgerton, Sunday.
Mr. Edgerton, associate professor of Russian at the College,
spoke on “The Crisis of Our Age” in Chapel Sunday in conjunction
with the Intercollegiate Colloquy on Government held at the Col
lege'last weekend. -
He said these two ideas are i
the people it governs and that
the material wealth of a nation
should be used to benefit all the
people living there. He pointed
out that these ideas gave rise to
the American, French, and ’Latin
American revolutions of the 18th
and 19th centuries. “The United
States,” he said, “was bom in an
attempt to create institutions that
would adequately embody this
great idea.”
Prof. Edgerton said that, apart
from the problems growing out of
rampant nationalism in a world
of international anarchy, the cris
is of our present age can be large
ly explained in terms of. the sec
ond great historic idea of modern
times, which, in Christian terms,
might be described as community
stewardship.
Imperfectly Grasped
However, it is still so imper
fectly grasped that neither Amer
icans nor any other people have
yet succeeded in developing insti
tutions that are clearly able to
embody it satisfactorily.
Viewed in this light, he said,
a movement such as Communism
doesn’t seem to be the cause of
our present world crisis but simp-

mittee and also chairman of the
faculty committee. Miss Lenore
Statts of the PSCA, was elected
assistant secretary of the gener
al committee.
Treasurer of the committee is
Paul Benner, and Luther Harsh
barger of the PSCA is the direc
tor of the week.
Four Phases /
The same four phases which
have been followed in past years
will be included in the “week”
this year. They are mass meet
ings, class room sessions, semin
ar, and fireside programs in. the
evening. The speakers will par
ticipate in all the events.
, Both the co-chairman are ac
tive in extra-cirricular life at the
College. Jo Hutchon is sophomore
senator, treasurer of the Christ
ian Science club, a member of
Collegian and active in.WSGA.
Emerson Jones is secretary
treasurer of all-College cabinet,
president of the Glee club, adver

and chairman of the campus radio
commission.
that government is responsible to
ly one very imperfect effort to
deal with the crisis. Contrary to
the nations of dogmatic Commu
nists, however, he pointed out
that the number of solutions to
the problem is probably infinite
and that each nation must work
out its own solution, neither
trembling at the successes nor
gloating at the failures of other
nations, but rather learning from
both.
Toured Yugoslavia
Prof. lEdgerton returned last
week from a six weeks’ trip to
Eastern Europe, where he spent
five, weeks touring Yugoslavia
and one week touring Greece. His
group had interviev s with Mar
shal Tito and his regime. While in
Yugoslavia, the group paid spe
cial attention to social conditions
and visited many public and pri
vate institutions in all parts of
the country.
One of the highlights of the
travels in Greece was a visit to
to American Farm school in Sal
onika where Greek farm boys
study agriculture.
With the border between Yugo
slavia and Greece closed to’ all
travel, the party arranged to drive
to the border in Yugoslavia,
climbed through the barbed wire
blockades, and was picked up by
an auto on the Greek side.

Grinning Gods
Wreck Odds
On Monday at midnight pre
cisely, the laughing green gods
of chance rolled up their mythical
sleeves and decided to wreck
some odds.
A bridge game was then in pro
gress in the recreation room at
Hamilton hall. North and south
were George Hoetzl and Robert
Schuette, west and east were Mar
vel Heinsohn and Fra«ik Nelson.
It was Nelson whom the gods de
cided ,to immortalize.
The cards %vere dealt; back-up
they were just cards. Underneath,
however, lurked a billion-to-one
shot.
North and south picked up their
hands; found them good-nothing
special except that they were
short-suited; they lacked spades.
West did too. Nelson threw down
on the table the perfect bridge
hand, the 13 spades which, the
odds say, appear once in every
1,380,464,260 hands played.
