buses to take students directly to the Pitt game. Round trip
tickets are on sale at the Hetzel Union desk and at the Warnock
post office until noon tomorrow.
In other business, the council decided to hold an out
standing living unit contest. Houses can score points for activi
ties to be designated by the council.
The council will also sponsor a series of how-to-study dis
cussions next term. James Wollaston, Lehigh House counselor
suggested the plan.
The Nittany Area Council this week approved rules for the
banner contest it is sponsoring this weekend. Prizes of $l5, $lO
and $5 will be awarded for the best banners. Judging for the
contest is scheduled to take place this afternoon or tomorrow

Researchers
Researchers in the Depart
ment of Botany and Plant
Pathology and the School of
Forestry are waging an all-out
war against oak wilt, a disease
fatal to all species of oak trees.
Research war was declared in
1950 when Charles L. Fergus, pro-
Pep Rally Tonight
Block “S” will sponsor a pep
rally at 7 tonight on the Inter
mural field. 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

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.
Why does Ford Motor Company support
research which, seemingly is unrelated to
the manufacture of its products?
It Is our view, and a pioneering concept
In our Industry, that entirely new ap»'
proaches to automotive development can
come only from unhampered scientific
Investigation, Deeper understanding of
matter Itself, and of the conversion and
atorage of energy—aside from widening
man's primary knowledge—may have
practical application In tomorrow's vehicle
design,
Thus knowledge wrested from nature by
Icientists will be taken by technologist#
and applied to serve practical needs and
desires. Another example of Ford's leader•

ease in the chestnut oak, Fergus
said. 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.
