rnx* g nwf Improved Auto Engine Designed By Graduate An automobile engine that is said to increase the mileage 30 per cent, has no knock, will result in reduction of gasoline refining, and would extend the world’s supply of crude oil, has been invented by a graduate of the College. Everett M. Barber, who was graduated from the College in 1931 with a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering and later received his master of sci ence degree here, is now working with the Texaco -Company, Bea con, New York, as supervisor of engineering research where he developed the “knockless engine.” 30-Man Years The engine was developed af ter .devoting 30-man years and several thousand dollars to the project, which was handled by a team of research technicians headed by the former graduate. Some of the specific problems concerning the engine, which if installed in the present day auto mobile would cause no problem in design, are being studied in the Engineering Experiment Station at the College under the direction of Dr. W. E. Meyers, associate professor of engineering research. . Professor Assisted Kalman J. De Juhasz, professor of engineering research at the College, assisted in some of the earlier phases of the work. Har old A. Everett, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, is serving as acting consultant to the -Texaco Co. on thermodynam ic. problems connected with the engine. The engine, which uses the Texaco Combustion process, would probably be named after its inventor and be called the Barber Engine. Barber, who is 44, was born in Oil City. While at the College he was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Zelko Addresses Group Harold P.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLYaOTA Soph Elections- (Continued from page one) cent before the 50 vote penalty. Harry Cover, State clique chairman, expressed confidence that the returns in yesterday’s election would make the spring election a close battle. He said that the large number of the split tickets showed intelligent voting by both classes. Stevens Pleased Lion clique chairman Huber Stevens said he was “pleased over the decided increase in the voting percentage.” He said that he hoped the heat of battle was over and hoped for “cooperation between the parties in the af fairs of student government.” Last year’s class officers were Joseph Arnold, president; Sally Shoemaker, vice-president; and John Baron, secretary-treasurer. Arnold was called to the service and the vice-president has been acting president of the class. Heaviest voting was during the noon hour and between classes. By 2 p.m., some 1275 voters had cast their ballot, and by 4:30 p.m. a total 1905 voters had been to the polls. The election went' smoothly all day with very little waiting or loss of time by the voters. Last fall a total of 1,795 sopho mores—s 6.7 per cent of the 3,133 eligible—voted. Many of the stu dents voted last year merely to obtain sophomore hop tickets, which were given only to stu dents who voted. This year tick ets will be given out at the Stu dent Union desk. On The Ball'- (Continued from page five) tany Lion harrier coach, never ciation of Amateur Athletics of America—Js nothing more than an athletic conference set up in the Eastern part of the country and comprising some 60 to 70 schools. The NCAA—National Colle giate Athletic Association—is the parent body bf the IC-4A conference. According to Wer ner, 95 per cent of the colleges in the United States belong and pay dues to the NCAA, which conducts all championship events and insists that mem bers live up to certain regula tions. Annually, the best cross coun try teams in the various confer ences gather at a site chosen by the NCAA to fight it out for the No. 1 position. Monday, about 40 schools in the IC-4A group will attempt to garner both team and individual honors with close to 400 runners expected to • traverse Manhat tan’s Van Courtlandt park course. In the eleven limes that the NCAA's have been run Penn State has supplied full teams on six occasions. In not one instance have they ever done worse than fourth—a truly re markable record.
