TUB Is Good Outlet For. 2100 Per Day Doughnut dunkers, ping-pong players and fox-trot fanciers can all find due outlet for their pastimes at the TUB. As a matter of fact, W. R. Reed, assistant manager of the TUB, estimated that over 2100 students use the facilities of this building in one day. The TUB, or Temporary Union Building, located on Shortlidge road across from the Jordan Fer tility plots, has been operating on the Penn State campus since Feb ruary, 1948. It was moved here from Lebanon, Pa., where it had previously served as a USO cen ter for soldiers in that area. The building was moved in parts, and it was pieced together, Reed be lieves, more firmly than it was originally built. Before the TUB was opened, students congregated in a small coffee shop in the basement of Ole Main and in the lounges on the first and second floor. The facilities were inadequate for the rapidly expanding post-war en rollment, and thus it was that the TUB came into existence, Reed explained The building was purchased as a stop-gap measure until a Stu dent Union building could be con structed. But now, Reed states, it looks as if the TUB may be here for a longtime. Even if permission is granted for a new building, it will take several years for con struction. So, with a patch or two here there, the TUB continues to TUESDAY, APRIL 11), 1951 The second phase of the indus trial revolution, centered in Ger many built the idea of power politics and statism, changed na tionalism to imperialism, and cre ated the move from laissez-faire to monopoly. During the third phase, center ed in America, the change seen is the development of atomic power and perhaps in the future to the exploitation of inter-plan etary exploration, Viereck said. World War I, he said, smashed the moral fabric of the world. It was during this time that Hit ler and Lenin saw the rise of nationalism of the Nazis and Bol shevists' ~respectively. Only through war they felt could par liamentary Europe be crushed, Viereck said. Today, socialism and national ism is combined in communism to make it doubly effective. Viereck said. Stalin appeals to the Rus sian people by expansion and to others by offering a psuedo socialism. This faith in economics can be a powerful force, Viereck said, because history is made by ideas and values. Even some of the best minds in 4merica are_ try ing to find'salvation through eco nomics and materialism, he said. However, Viereck said, western civilization, fed by religious lead ers and philosophers, can arise to critical situations and stresses. This heritage is built upon the stern moral commandments of Judaism, the love of the free Hellenic mind, the objectivity of Roman law and the brotherhood of Christianity. Human beings refuse to be pushbuttons, Vier e c k said. He quoted Napoleon's phrase that there are two powers in the world and that is the sword and the spirit. In the end, the quote con tinued, the spirit will always win. By ARNIE •BLOOM serve Penn State students. Housed in the building are a main lOunge, two smaller lounges on either wing, a ballroom which is capable of holding 250 couples, a ping-pong room, a small room for pin ball machines, and a room for the student book exchange. The main lounge contains a soda bar which serves sandwiches, ice cream,and light drinks. This bar is especially busy during lunch hours when many commuting and married students use the facilities for eating. Because of the limited space available, most of the activities of the TUB are unplanned. Stu dents can come in and dance, gab, eat, or even study. One imagina tive group went so far as to hold an impromtu weinie roast in the fire place of the main lounge. Organized activities are limited to the Penn State Chess club, the Penn State Duplicate Bridge club, and the Student Union Dancing classes,• which hold regular ses sions in the building. The TUB has provided recrea tion and entertainment for thou sands of students. --- Limited Space
