Androeles, senior men’s hat society, will sponsor a “carcade” before the rally. The car caravan will form at 6:45 in front of Haller Hall. The Powder Puff Bowl, a foot ball game between Kappa Kappa Gamma and Chi Omega sororities, is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Intermural field. Exhibitionist Convicted Harold Meyer of Bellefonte was found guilty of a disorderly con duct charge and fined $61.50 yes terday before Justice of the Peace Guy G. Mills. The charge was the result of complaints from members of the Centre Hills Country Club, where; Meyer has been working for the last 11 years. It was maintained! that he had indecently exposed' ihimself on' several occasions, 1 Mills said. Study Fatal Oak Wilt lessor of botany and plant pa thology, discovered the disease in Pennsylvania. The cause of the deadly disease is a fungus called “ceratecystis fagarcearum.” The first symptom of the disease is a wilting of the leaves, Fergus said. After the leaves die, the buds wither and the tree dies of lack of water. Research for the project is done at the Blain Research Lab oratory, located on the site of an old Civilian Conservation Corps camp on state lands in Perry County, he said. Studies of the cause and control of the disease have been support ed by the Pennsylvania State De partment of Agriculture for the past ten years. Although oak wilt is prevalent in all species of oak, the current research is directed toward find ing a way of detecting the dis JAM SESSION NORTH HALLS 9-12:30 35c Stag —50 c informal dress FEATURING the HI-FIVE wlkut! o«§ Distinguished from that which has prac tical application, pure research Is con cerned with the discovery of fundamental knowledge to widen man’s understanding of himself and the universe, Ford Motor Company's Scientific Labora tory in Dearborn, Michigan is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in the physical sciences, On its staff are scientists of national and international reputation who conduct Independent basic research pro*’ grams of an extremely broad nature.

Since there are no visible signs of oak wilt in the chestnut oak, it is very difficult to detect the disease before it is too late to save the tree. The chestnut oak is valuable since it grows in sites that will not ordinarily support limber growth, serves as valuable food for wild life and can prevent soil erosion in these rocky sec tions, Fergus said. The leaves are also very important to soil building, he said. The present detection method is to survey forest lands by airplane in June and July. At this time healthy trees are a “good green color” and the trees infected by oak wilt show up as gold or brown, Fergus explained. However, this method is not ef fective with chestnut oak, he said, ■since there are no visible signs.
