THMIftbAY, MARCH 17.1995
From
This
Angle...
Four years ago a group of hew freshman students was
jammed into the lobby of Hamilton Hall where meal tickets
and room keys were being distributed. In the middle of the
group one towering, broad-shouldered student caught the
eye of all who happened to be trapped in the melee.
\ He was so big and statuesque in comparison to the rest
of the milling mob that one thought came to mind immediate
ly. Here is a football player, or maybe a basketball player,
well Jesse Amelle was that stu-'
dent and he was both a basket
ball player and football player
for tne neat four years of nis
college life.
For four seasons he drove to the
brink of becoming an all-Ameri
can football player, although he
never quite received that distinc
tion. But on the basketball floor
he became a true great, without
a doubt the finest cage star in
Pehn State history.
Arn e 11 e probably hasn't
grown much physically since
that first day on the campus
but as a proven athletic star
time has made him a' mature
gentleman who is humble sad
jt hankful for tho faloats ho ha*.
i As a four-year lettermgn in
football and basketball) president
nf the student body, and a better
than-average pre-law student he
will leave an indelible imprint ph
the Penn State campus when he
is graduated in June.
He will leave a list of enviable
records and achievments that will
probably stand for many years to
come. As a football end he re
ceived 38 passes in his sopho
more year arid the gridiron where
he reached his peak as a batter
ing-ram end. And after a slump
ing junior year, bounced back as
a rugged blocking and defensive
terminal iri an offense that de
emphasized passing and concen
trated on a running attack.
Bui it was on the basketball
court that tho 6-5, 225-pound
center established himself.
Graceful but powerful, Jesse's
, appearance in the Lions' NCAA
wt ou r n amen t game in 1952
prompted New York's well
known sportt announcer Marty
Gliekmari to proclaim him, "the
most magnificent specimen I've
ever seen on the basketball
f court." .
But if his tremendous physical
equipment was impressive, so
were his scoring records. He broke
the Penn State seasonal scoring
record in his freshman year and
continued his scoring splurge un
til he amassed 2138 points in his
four-year college career. In ad
dition, he broke the single game
scoring mark with 40 points iq
his yearling season and then
bettered : that in 1955 when he
. connected for 44 against Buck-
Hell.
He also topped the Penn State

His job: analytical engineer
Here’s what Ted Zwicky does. He takes
a proposed mechanical design feature, de
scribes it mathematically, breaks it down
into digestible bits, modifies it, and feeds it
to electronic computers. (It may take two
months to set up a problem; the computers
usually solve it in twenty minutes.) Then
Zwicky takes the answers from the com
puters, translates and interprets them so they
can be followed by design engineers.

is responsible for
design analysis
of $3,000,000
turbine-generators
The average large steam turbine-generator
costs $3,000,000 and takes two years to build.
It is one of the biggest pieces of electrical
equipment made. Yet its thousands of parts
are put together as carefully as a fine watch.
Even a small change in design can affect the
stresses and vibration of the turbine, and
the way it performs. At General Electric,
several men share the responsibility of pre
dicting those effects before the turbine is
built. One of them is 29-year-old E. E.
Zwicky, Jr.
29,000 college graduates at General Electric
This is a responsible job. Zwicky was readied
for it in a careful program of development.
Like Zwicky, each of our 23,000 college
graduate employees is given a chance to find
the work he does best and to realize his full
potential. For General Electric believes this:

make progress, everybody benefits—the in
