PAGE FOUR Prexy Speaks On Bookstore, Student Rights (Editor's note: The follow ing is a portion of Presi dent Eric A. Walker's ad dress to the University fac ulty an d administration. yesterday. This portion of the speech has direct bear 'iiig on the much-discUssed issue cl.f .student-faculty, student-administration re- Ihtionships.) But this whole problem of student-faculty and student adrninistration- relationships has been receiving a good bit of comment on the part Of college administrators throughout the country. • In a recent article in The Educational Record, Joseph F. Kauffman suggests that this phenomenoh is the re sult of the interaction of three forces . that have been at work in out, society for settle time:The first, he says, is the 'gradual loss of .per sonal contact and relation ship . between faculty and students outside the class room, ' and the increasing awareness of the students that most of their 'contacts with university personnel are regularized and official.' 'A 'second element is the recent growth and accept ance of non-violent Soda] ac tion as a legitimate means of s'ettling difficulties. And the third factor is the family social situations in which many of today's students have been reared ---*the post war prosperity and mobility of their parents; the Mini- Mum of family and commu nity restraints,- a . sense of security, and' an urge to live dangerously, and the conse quent redefinition of values which students bring to the campus with them. Na Alarm I think the whole problem merits our concern, but I do not believe there is any thing in the situation to cause alarm. One aspect of our changing social patterns that in my opinion tends to off set the more negative side of the picture is the fact that our students today are gen erally more mature than the students of thirty years ago. It is to be expected that they would question long standing customs and de cisions. It is natural that they would want to have more to say about their own govern ment and indeed about the conduct of the University. Luckily we have had a long history of effective student government at Penn State. Indeed, student government was pioneered here in the twenties under President Hetzel. We have had a free press and freedom of speech on this campus for a long time. Primary Concern But in the last few years, the tremendous growth of the student body, and the added pressures of their academic work, and the many outlets for their energies have brought difficulties in main taining communications. It seems to me that here, as in faculty - administration mat ters, our primary concern should be to develop and maintain easier channels of communication. We have a student government an d should recognize it. We should make every ef fort to keep the channels of communication open between the student government and the faculty by means of ap propriate Senate Commit tees, and between the stu dent government and the ad ministration through the ap propriate administrative of fices. I suspect that actually a good bit of the difficulty lies also in maintaining commu nication between the student government and the stu dents, and in some way this link in the communication channel must be strength ened. At the present time, mech anisms for doing just that JANUARY CLEARANCE LARGE GROUP FAMOUS MAKES BRAS - GIRDLES SAVE UP 500/0 TO •Discontinued Styles •One andlwo of a Kind 'Ass I. Famous Makes ,Pcmb-ia are being explored. I am con fident that if we can find some way of getting ade quate communication from the students to student gov ernment and back again, we will have gone a long way toward easing some of the current tensions at Penn State. If Froth has been a prob lem, for example, the real difficulty has not been a mat ter of freedom, but a mat ter of coupling responsibility for what is said to the au thority• to say it. And ail thority and responsibility are not separable. In this case, I think, the problem is about to be solved. The question of the right to solicit funds has been an other problem. In this case. I ani told that the present rules were adopted at the re quest of the students to pro tect them from unwanted solicitations. I for one am not opposed to, a revision of these rules, if the students want it and if it is done through established chan nels. Bookstore ' The bookstore matter is another point of contention, and one in which the argu ments do not give a clear and undeniable decision. On this subject, I intend to is sue a white paper in the near future. But again let me say that in my opinion the whole problem of student tensions on this campus can be great ly relieved if we exert every effort to keep the channels of communication easy and open in all directions. Tribunal Positions Available By MEL ZIEGLER The tribunal system at the Uni versity is "a method for pro viding a constructive educational experience for students who be-, come involved in disciplinary cases," according to Neil M. Berson, chairman of the fra ternity area tribunal. Urging interested students to apply for available tribunal positions, Berson said qualified men can "achieve a high degree' of personal satisfaction" from tribunal participation. Purpose of the tribunals, Ber son noted, is to hear out individ ual problems of student conduct and to make disciplinary recom mendations on each case to the dean of men's office. Problems Shared Berson praised the system; because, he said, "it allows stu dents charged with disciplinary; problems to discuss their cases before their own peers, who share some common experiences and problems." Students serving on tribunals can "convey to the offender the type of behavior expected of him as a member of the University community," Berson explained. He added that tribunal mem bers are charged with the re sponsibility of deciding neces sary action "to impress upon the student his responsibility to him self, his family, his fellow stu dents at the University." Urged To Apply Berson called for "mature students" to apply for tribunal positions, noting that it is "one of the most worthwhile services that a student can perform." Seven tribunals, one for each residence area, another for stu dents residing in off-campus housing and a final one for fra ternity men, are in operation during the academic year. Applications are cu r r ently available in the office of the dean of men, 117 Old Main. OR MORE STATE COLLEGE Water Tunnel Experiments Used for Gov't Research By NORM WILLIAMS The largest high speed water tunnel; in the world is located at Penn State. "The tunnel at ca pacity contains 106,000sgallons of water circulated by a 'pump capable of generating 750,000 gallons per minute," stated Rich ard E. Bland, engineer in charge of operations at the tunnel. No more than 15 minutes would be required for the tunnel pump to equal the total amount of water pumped into the 'Borough of State College for the entire week of Jan. 2 (10,000,000 gal.). The University water tunnel is a part of the Ordnance Research Laboratory. "The general pur pose of the tunnelf s the advance ment of the science and• art of the hydromechanics of sub merged bodies," Research initi ated at the tunnel has aided in the development of the Polaris submarine project and the Mark 45, the Navy's latest torpedo. Current programs are centered about reducing drag on torpedoes and thus the amount of power needed to propel them. A num ber of the programs are gov ernment sponsored and highly , confidential, Former Head First proposals for a hydro dynamic test facility began in 1 1945. At this tiine On was headed by Eric A. •Walker, now president of the University. The Tunnel was built in 1949 and first testwater ran through its pipes in 1950. Its original purpose was to develop better torpedo propel lers. At this time the standard model torpedo was eight inches in diameter. A tunnel was needed with a diameter approx imately six times the torpedo's diameter which explains the 48 PENN STATE CHARTER FLIGHT To EUROPE $250 ROUND TRIP Based on Full Occupancy NEW YORK-LONDON PARIS-NEW YORK JUNE 25, 1965 SEPTEMBER 3, 1965 JUNE 17, 1965 AUGUST 12, 1965 Open to Penn State Faculty, Staff, Students and Families only • ALL INCLUSIVE TOURS FROM $592 up • IMADCALL ma, State Tx vet 116 W.

A room known as the operating console is situated next to the testing section of the tunnel. Numerous dials and apparatus are located here to regulate the speed and pressure of water in the tunnel. To allow for proper torque, torpedoes are driven ,by two propellers, each turnig in a different direction. Often the propellers move at different speeds and separate power sup plies for each are regulated in the operating console during test ing. Also present are instruments for measuring thrust, torqua, and drag on the torpedo or scale model, submarine being tested. Rectangular The tunnel is rectangular in shape, 97 feet long, 31 feet high at the left end and 26 feet high atl the ,right end. Dr. Thorfias E. Pierce, tracing the circular path of the water in its journey point ed out, "It is powered through [by a variable speed pump driven by a 2,000 horsepower electric motor located in 'the basement and capable of moving the water through the tunnel at speeds of 80 feet per second (54 mph). "In normal testing, speeds of only 30 to 90 feet per second are required. The water then moves upward into a seg ment of the tunnel 12 feet in diameter where disturbances are, ( taken out. The speed of the water in this section is slower than when it passes through the testing sec tion because the velocity is inversely proportional to the 'area through which it flows. The water next enters the 14- foot length testing section arid reaches its highest speed while passing over the object in the section. The diameter of this section is 48 inches, making it the largest high speed tunnel known. Afterward the 'water is gradually slowed down by en largement of the tunnel and cir culates back to be repumped. Torpedoes and scale model submarines being tested are placed into the section from above the tunnel. A glass shield on the side of the testing sec tion , perniits the object to be viewed from the operating con sole during testing. Currently, testing is taking place on a model submarine;'the research being conducted on Propeller and pump-jet designs. Information learned from these experiments may be used in the design of new submarines. There are more than one water tunnels in the building. A smaller version of the 48 inch tunnel has two interchangable test sections and a 100 hp. engine capable of pumping water through the section at 60 feet per second. 'Another tunnel soon to be filled with glycerin will be used in the study of boundary layers, or resistance to fluids caused by the pipe through which they flow. A small tunnel one and one half inches in diameter can ac commodate water speeds up to 300 feet per second, and is powered by a 150 hp. motor.

After a slow start in which applications of delegations' were running far behind last year's total, Model ON president Philip Shafer now predicts that the total number of dele gations "will probably be about the same as last year." Among the delegations which applied yesterday was another Commonwealth campus entry, Behrend Campus, from Erie. Sigma Tau Gamma, Alpha Phi Sigma, and three more inde pendent groups also applied, Shafer said. He estimated that the total number of delegations partici-, pating in the mock UN will probably be, "just short of 55." A meeting of all delegations will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday in 121 Sparks.
