£BPIL, 22, 1952 The Lion's Loir " / By ERNIE MOORE • Collegian Sports Editor Want to know who is the hardest working man in town these 4ays? IJe’s Gene Wettstone; Penn State gymnastic coach and secre tary of the Olympic gymnastic committee. ' ■ When sojneone wants something real bad he works real,hard for it. Wettstone wants .the combined. NAAU, gymnastic champion ships and Olympic tryouts scheduled for Rec Hall Friday and Satur day to be the greatest ever, and the way he’s working these days it should be just that. The Lion gym coach not only had to take care of all the entries, see that proper' able, and schei hie each event < the two-day pi grapi, hut he a* had to-edit tl gymnastic ne letter, which, d> ing the’, past f< months, has bei filled with inft mation about t coming Olyiri; tryouts. Tha enough work busy. However/.there was one more . problem—who was going to decorate Rec Hall for the color ful, festivities? Last week 'Weil stone could be seen crawling over the lofty girders in Rec Hall, hanging the red, while, apd blue bunting. The guy just hasn't heard of the old saying, "Let George do it." Wettstone has one partner in the work marathon, Ara Haira bedian,. his assistant and 1951 NAAU calisthenics champion. Hairabedian has defcided to pass up. competition this year and help the Lion coach. And so far the tiyo have done a terrific job. We only hope Wettstone gets his just reward —selection as head coach of the 1952 United States Olym pic kytnnastic team. The tryouts should be a suc cess despite strong opposition from other sports this weekend.

Dr. Clarence R. Carpenter, di rector of the instructional film re search program at the College, ; who is helping in the institute programs, called the chance for fusing educational television pro vided by the FCC a gift equal to " the Congressional grant' of land for colleges in each of the 48 states more than a hundred years ago.'

The Olympic tryouts are only held once every four years, and Penn State has been lucky enough to get them for the second straight time- From all reports the tryouts, especially the finals, are sheer spectacle. With an Olympic berth hanging in the balance, the com petitors go all out in the tryouts. "Some of the exercises these fellows do are remarkable," says Wettstone. "Some of the stuff they’ do on the still rings and the trampoline is unbeliev able." . Imagine five, or six guys the caliber of Jan Cronstedt, Eastern all-around champ for the Lions, competing, against each other on the ’ parallel bars or horizontal bar. The men who win- those events will have to put on bril liant performances. Many people have wondered what the five interlocking cir-• cles, the Olympic symbol, stand for. The circles stand for the five continents, binded together to denote sporting friendship of peoples of the earth whatever their creed or country. The colors, white, yellow, black, green, and red slarid for the flags of the countries of the world. At least one of these colors is found in every coun try's flag. The words Citius, Altius, For tius,- ’ sometimes found under the five circles, mean quicker, higher, more strongly. These words are indicative of the competing ath lete’s endeavor to fun faster, jump higher, and throw more strongly. rence W. Wiegand, head of the physical plant department. Dr. Arthur S. Adams, president of the American Council on Edu cation who addressed the insti tute yesterday, urged colleges to accept the challenge of educa tional television-and described television as “the atomic energy of communications.” Today’s meetings of the educa tors will begin with a division in to four groups for discussion of phases of “The Significance of Television for the Educator” which will combine for a com bined summary of group findings.
