Mathematics Professor Runs Research Bureau By GAY SNODGRASS A disgruntled engineer recently wrote a letter to a unique organ ization. • The author of the letter failed a professional engineering exam because of one problem on an oil engine. Unable to find the solu tion to the problem anywhere, he wrote to Mathematics Research, Inc., a corporation established last fall in the borough by a Univer sity faculty member, and the only private organization in the United States specializing in mathematics research. One of the organizers and pre sent director of Mathematics Re search, Inc., is Samuel S. Plotnick, a part-time mathematics instruc tor now completing his Ph.D. de gree in theoretical hydrodynamics. Plotnick, who holds degrees from the City College of New York, New York University, Le high University, and the Univer sity of Delaware, was formerly as sistant to the director of research at George Washington University. Several industrialists who felt the need for a centralized mathemati cal research organization urged Plotnick to form Mathematics Re search, Inc. The organization represents over 100 faculty members from various universities, 81 of whom hold Ph.D. degrees. When industry, business, or individuals want a mathematical problem solved, the corporation delegates the problem in strict confidence to one of the faculty members who is a special ist in this field. By bridging the gap between locked up talent and the needs of industry.

Ernest, fourth semester bacteriology ma jor; and Thomas Nelson, eighth semester zoology major. Professors violating the speed trap are Joseph J.

Trainer Ternis Oil Spray Safe The oil spray which is now being aPplied to the trees and shrubs on campus has been called harmless by Walter W. Trainer, supervisor of landscape ` construc tion and maintenance. But he cautioned students to avoid areas where spraying is taking place if they have , extra-sensitive. skin. The spray, he explained, evap orates 'almost immediately, leav ing a slight oil residue which can be washed or cleaned .away. If it gets on a car, he added, it will appear as a milky substance which, when dry, can be wiped off. Coal Stone Hauler ... Hard-Working Mule inspires Ag Honorary It took more than men and machinery to build Old Main. Most of the building stones *ere hauled in a wagon by a black mule called Coaly. Today Old Main looks down upon a university campus which houses 71 buildings. It is still the center of the school's activity. The skeleton of the Coaly mule is Preserved in the attic of the veterinary science building on Ag Hill. Few Penn Staters realize the importahce of this little mule. Coaly Bought in 1857 In 1857. Coaly was bought by the Farmer's High School from Andy Lytle, a local farmer, for $l9O. Coaly was about five feet tall, and worked harder and long er than any of the three mules used by:y, the school: The stones were gotten in a quarry some 300' yardsin front of Old Main, and dragged by Coaly to the building. Today a stone marks the site of the historical quarry. After Old Main was com pleted, Coaly stayed to work on the farmS until his death, January 1, 1893. At this time his remains were placed in the wildlife, mu seum in Old Main. •In the 1894 LaVie a eulogy was written that highly praised the faithful Coaly. In 1929, when Old Main was remodeled and the museum was discontinued, Coaly's remains were put in the basement of West Dorms. James. F. Shigley, now professor emeritus of veterinary science, in 1936 sought out the bones of: Coaly, and not being able to find a suitable plade to exhibit the skeleton, put it in the attic of the veterinary science building, where the remains are today. An agriculture honorary which bases the selection of its members on agriculture- activities and 1.3 or higher average has taken its name from this .mule. This honor-, ary is the Coaly Society. Honor System Created It was ,formed in 1951, when it was dedided more recognition should be given men and women in extra-curricular activities on Ag Hill. A student committee was set• up to choose a point system, and the first invitation of 45 men and one woman was held April 30, 1951. All members of the society have penciled their names on Coaly's skeleton ; and they try to live up to the qualities of strength, sure footedness, endurance, long ser vice, and loyalty which Coa.ly rep resents. The society is open to three per PENN STATE THESPIANS PRESENT . . . BLOOMER oPPOR* GI - RL A BROADWAY Don't Wait MUSICAL COMEDY Too Long! SCHWAB AUD.
