Perm Point America’s world-famous Point Four program has found its way to the Penn State campus by means of the overseas student exchange program, begun at the University, in 1952, to allow foreign labor and political leaders to study in the United States. Since then, approximately' 80 students from eight foreign coun tries including I n d o nesia, the Philippines, and several of the South American republics—have participated in the program, ac cording to Eugene A. Myers, asso ciate professor of economics. In his speech before members of the Faculty Luncheon Club, the Lebanon-born professor told how these men and women absorbed a great deal of knowledge on sub jects as industrial and labor rela tions, the American economy, his tory, and even public speaking, through actual experience, class es, field trips, and weekly semi nars In most cases two of six months in the labor education program were spent at the_ Uni versity in specially designed classes. Daily classes of 5% hours, two evening sessions con sisting mainly of films supplied free of charge, and a weekly seminar on the program itself, comprised their formal educa tion. This was supplemented by field trips outside the Univer sity to see industry in operation. Speakers from labor and gov ernment came regularly to the University to speak to the foreign students. Myers explained that one of the reasons for Penn State’s choice for the program was its proximity to Washington, D.C. He added that its “friendly atmo sphere and isolation from the mad rush of city life” also influenced the choice. Concrefe indications of fhe value of the program were illus-. trated by Myers when he told of articles on labor structure and functior in the United States, written by one of. the participants to give his_ people a better idea of what this coun try is like. Another student has established a labor education school in Indonesia, Myers ad ded, and these men and women have also been better able to fulfill the important labor and governmental positions many of them held before coming to Penn State. Although the program is not in effect this semester, Myers said he was sure it would be resumed soon.

WEDNESDAY;: FEBRUARY 17,1954 State 4 at By BETTY KOSTER Dean Hit Flies, Kept Morale PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16 <£>)— Maj. Gen. William F. Dean kept up his morale as a Communist prisoner in Korea by computing his “batting averages” on the flies he killed. “The trick is never to swat a fly when he is standing still,” Dean writes in his Saturday Evening Post account of three years as a captive of the Reds. “Wait until he starts walking or lifts his front feet to wash. Then you bust him because he can’t take off without shifting po sition first.” Dean said he killed a grand to tal of 40,716 flies, running up his average on hits and misses to .850. “Anyone who wants to chal lenge my three-year swatting rec ord . will haveto show me the flies,” he boasted] For his other type of mental gymnastics: “Then one day. I began working on squares and square roots and really got interested. I memorized the squares of numbers from 1 to 100. Then I began hunting for fast systems of squaring. “For example, the squares of numbers between 10 and 20 have the same right-hand digits as those between 60 and 70 and the relationship follows through. So the square of 40 is 1600; the square of 41 is 1681 and the square of 42 is 1764 and the-square of 90 is 8100, the square of 91 is 8281 alnd so on. “If you’re no t interested m mathematics, this sort of thing may drive you to beating your head against a wall but, believe me, it kept me from beating my head against one.” .
