PAGE EIGHT Rubber Research Aided War Effort During World War 11, hundreds of U.S. Army trucks rolled on synthetic rubber developed in great part through research done at the University. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States was completely cut' off from its supply of crude rubber from Asia. Since a country is lost without mobility and transportation in time of war, the need for rubber was desper ate. Campbell Receives Appointment Stanley FL.

By SUSIE LINKROUNI Thus a committee was sat up under the chairmanship of Ed. ward Baruch to study the pos sibilities for making synthetic rubber. Dr. Merrill R. Fenske, research professor of chemistry and chemical engineering and director of the Petroleum Re fining Laboratory at the Uni versity, was appointed to this committee. Extensive study was made con cerning the probable sources to he found in the United States. Even an obscure shrub. the guay ule, found in New Mexico and Texas. was considered as a pos sibility for synthetic rubber. Fenske and his staff at the Pe troleum Refining Laboratory put in 290 man-months or 35,100 ,hours in their research and spent .$97,400. The end result of this. tremendous amount of time and 'money was the development of separation processes which were used commercially in the syn thetic rubber program. The laboratory also produced some 20 different mare hydro carbons needed for the syn thetic rubber manufacturing processes. Many of these pure hydrocarbons were made avail able to industry and govern ment war agencies. The constituents of synthetic rubber are found in petroleum. Fenske and his staff received several awards for their conscien tious service to the war effort. University Lobbys-- (Continued from page two) ' ports from a state committee on higher education before he accepts or rejects the offer. , The University proposed to in- guage; an increase of more than 33 per cent. This compares wiih a nation wide increase in German enroll ment of 15 per cent, which ac companied an increase in over all degree-credit enrollment of 6.2 per cent. According to the compilation, 23 colleges and universities have enrollments exceeding 600; thus Penn State occupies the middle position in this top echelon. The top eleven are: University of California, 3568; University of Illinois. 1820; University of Mich igan, 1517; University of Texas, 1362; New York University, 1124; University of Minnesota, 1113; City College of New York, 1095; Hunter College, 1023; University of Wisconsin, 1010; Columbia University, 982; and Indiana Uni versity, 869.

PENNSYLVANIA Sheep Barn Inhabitants Playful Lambs Attract Visitors By GRETCHEN HARRISON Aren't they cute?" visitors re mark to one another when they see the 135 lambs in the Univer sity Sheep Barns. With lambing season soon at an end, sheep can be seen in every stage of growing up—from a few hours old to several weeks old. All ewes and lambs are kept in the barn on Shortlidge road until they are put out to pasture in the spring. The pasture is on Farm No. 5 where the rest of the herd is kept the year around. Only one set of triplets has been born this year. Twins, a common occurrence, ha s hap pened more often. Like their cousins, the deer, lambs can get up and walk im mediately after birth. However, Carroll Shaffner, head shepherd, feels it is best to put them in an Kan. State-- (Continued from page six) Tuesday night in a first-round game at New York.
