PAGE EIGHT Stockroom Safe Amid In spite of handling hundreds of chemicals daily—some explosive, and others strong enough to eat the skin off their hands—the four men in charge of the Chemistry department stockroom consider their jobs among the safest. “We just wash our hands more times every day than anyone else on campus,” they explain. The beginning of a new sem ester is the busiest time for John Bleich, Eugene JHoy, Phillip Wil liams, and Frank Reish. accord ing to the January issue of The College magazine. 2500 Take Courses Show Officials Are Announced By Riding Club Committee chairmen and show officers have been named for the Penn State Riding Club’s third annual horse show to be held May 3-4, according to Donald Duncan, club president.

Men Feel Chemicals By HELEN LUYBEN With some 2500 students tak ing chemistry courses each sem ester, the demands on the stock room men are enormous. More than 16,000 quarts of acids pass through the various stock rooms before winding up in some chemical reaction. It’s all in a day's work for these full-time employees •of the Col lege. Moreover, each of them has taken first aid courses, in order to know what to do when some undergraduate rams a glass stop per through a bottle of acid and cuts his hand. Acid burns rank with steam bums as the most common labor atory mishaps, according to Bleich, who' works in Pond, Wal ker, and Osmond laboratories. 15,000 Test Tubes Alone When you realize that students use 15,000 test tubes and three miles of rubber tubing in just one year, along with 2000 dif ferent chemicals, you can imagine the job of supplying all the kits, keys, and chemicals each semes ter. The only real difficulty the stockrooms run into occasionally is getting the right chemicals to the right people. Bottles Must Be Labeled For this reason no bottle the student brings will be filled if it isn’t properly labeled, or if a written authorization isn’t pre sented. “Sometimes a student attempts to take out a certain chemical to use in some practical joke around the dorm, but that kind of thing is pretty well under control now,” says Gene Hoy, in charge of hand ing out “unknowns” for student testing in Osmond. Polish 1 Absentees May Still Take Course Students who have signed up for Polish 1 and have not reported for the classes may still take the course by contacting William Ed gerton, course instructor, iri 226 Sparks.
