Off and On the Campus By Mary Ann Jackson Here we are back to tbe old grind after a peaceful (?) Thanks giving vacation. Mr. Lane return ed more confused than ever, walk ing around with his coat on in side out, collar turned up, and his glasses on upside down. He even walked into 'Mr. Thurbon’s E. Comp. 1 class on Monday to teach German. The snow came too, and drove A 1 Brooks and Noreen Knoll into a library they can’t walk the nature trail any more. Barb Edelman arrived and brought with her the “Froth.” Even John McGraw is back. Noticed a few changes on the campus since we got back. Joe Schmitt has changed his curricu lum; he is no longer taking up space, he switched to seamanship. You can see him steering his craft in the southwest corner of the first floor in the classroom building. Eleanore Bitzer is now going steady and has the best wishes of Jack Übbersack, Hans Honowinkle, Fritz Fon Roben snitch, Otto Keib, and Willis Gill. Also noticed the “iron curtain” on the second floor of the class room building. Ray Metz received, in the mail, two good seats for the Sportscope By Dick Moore November 28 ended the football season with Maryland and Notre Dame, the top two teams for the second year. This winter may see the unlimited substitution rule re vised. Several coaches have al ready spoken in favor of this, mentioning that costs were not noticeably less under the single platoon system. Saturday, November . 21, found the Lions ending their second at the Smokey City, against the Pitt Panthers. A 17-0- win gave State a 6-3 record, losing to Wisconsin, Penn and West Virginia. As the basketball season swings into action the Behrend Center combine, after winning a preli minary game against the Alumni 27-22 at homecoming, prepares, as we go to press, to meet a highly rated Altoona five at Erie Hall Saturday night, Dec. 5. Coach Mil ler is hoping his balanced squad can pace the down staters. For board work he’s depending on Be nacci; Nagel, Moore, Brandt, and Seyboldt. At the guard positions, showing speed and deception, are Haney, Yoehim, Mattson and Vieira. Almost any combination is equal to any other, making sub stitutions no problem.

Anyone interested in going, please get in touch with Ray. In the dorm, short-sheeting has gone out; now it’s pie-bedding and substituting shampoo for tooth paste. Jack Rimp looks real col legiate in his new hair cut. Dottie Parks has a new addition to her hope chest. She is now the happy owners of three plastic bowl cov ers discarded by the astronomy club because they are too small to cover the telescope. But basically, everything is still the same. Harlean Benec still walks pigeon-toed; Lou Laube has trou ble keeping track of her clothes; Jan Jackson uses the “hunt and peck” system, on the typewriter, that is; Nancy Elms is spoiling the punch lines for everybody’s “knock - knock” jokes; Whitey wants to know just what Lynn accounts for in accounting class; Joe Benacci is trying to sell his 1952 Plymouth Belvedere for $1795. Poor kid, never will learn, Anne Walsh is still knitting her t argyles; Sue Williams receives numerous long distance telephone, calls. And most of all, w« are still receiving loads of homework everyday. fcices haven’t been too frequent, improvement is being shown. The season’s schedule is as follows: Dec. B—Edinboro, Away—7 p. m. Dec. 12 Allegheny, > Away—4 p. m. Jan. 12—Slippery Rock-—Away, 8 p. in. Jan 16—Altoona Center—Away, 8 p. m. Jan. 30—Edinboro—Away, 7:00 p. m. In the. world of ping-pong, Jake G-ehrlein rules supreme. For the second year running, Jake has copped the men’s singles tourna ment. The semi-final play-offs were among Bud Schultz, Jack Geiger, Tom Vieira and Jake Gehrlein. Schultz, considered to be the favorite, lost by decisive scores of 21-15 and 21-10. Because of the strenuous walk to Erie Hall, the girl’s tournament faded away. Also in the ping-pong world, the doubles tournament is about to get under way. Already for the fight are Reid Yaple, Jim Lay, Dennis Driscoll, Bud Schultz, Jack Geiger, Emmett Miller, .Tim Sey boldt, Glenn Raymer, Bob Brandt, Jim Yochim, Skip Mattson, Tom Vieira, A 1 Fine, and “Doc” Miller and “TJncle Dave” Thurbon. THE NITTANY CUB Chenne (Cont’d) Continued from Page 2 I can tell he’s hot strictly from hunger because I can see it spilled all over that .brown rag he laugh ingly calls a suit, that he eats well. I’ll bet that rag stands alone in the corner, if he takes it off be fore going; to bed that is. Wac-ky “Coffee in her veins” Borkowski seems to . have a great fascination for all the would be cats on campus. Isay would be, be cause they try but sure louse it up good. Willis Pretty Boy Gill, Jerry No Other Could Be So Re pugnant Sandlestein and Ed There Just Aren’t Words In The Web ster to Describe It Grossman are a few of the little ones she mo thers. Maybe it’s her very strong desire to write science fiction that draws her. to them. They sur e look like fugitives from War of the Worlds anyway. These dorm girls are really gone this year, or should be any how. I was out taking my mid night stroll the other night, (I have to every night, master’s or ; ders you know?) and I happened to see chubby (that’s the polite word for that tank that rolls around the B. C. campus) Jack son prowling around in the cata combs of the dorm to secretly un latch a window to let the curfew crasher kids in alter one of the many disgusting “revival” meet ings. Larry Markham and Anne Walsh take top honors this term for the gooiest make-outs around. In every class they hold hands and roll their eyes ■at ’ each other. Sick calves I call it. Anne’s being so true to Jimmy in her fashion. I guess it’s time to. wander back to Dußois where I live, but I’ll be seeing you Around the Fireplug again next issue. And remember, though away, I still can get all the dirt, you just can’t keep a good news hound down. Arf arf yip yip, that’s really the last, ex cept- for a word to Reggie: You had better stay in that hole where you belong and let a good report er take over. (You know, I used to be very conceited, but I’m not anymore. I’m real, nice now! !) Willis Gill Uncovers Relics By Ed Grossman Some of the students have heard about Willis Gill’s Indian relic col lection and found it very inter esting. Not only has he uncovered relics in other parts of the coun try, but also right here in our own territory. Willis has been digging in a gravel pit by! Wintergreen Gorge, only a few miles from Beh rend. So far he has! found an ar rowhead, two beads, and a piece of pottery at the gravel pit, about four' feet from the surface. He took the arrowhead to the mu seum and was informed that it had: been, made by. the Iroquois. Willis finds that digging, for the most part; in gravel and loam is the most favorable. Although .he has ceased his searching, for ;the duration Of the winter ; season, he plans to at tempt' to uncover the old burial mound of the Iroquois in this ter ritory. Willis wishes to inform our readers that anyone wishing to sponsor ' an , expedition should please see him, and a safari will be arranged as soon as possible. Dorm Dragnet By Lynn Montague Friday, 9:45 a. m.—l-am work ing out of the Nittany Cub office. Chief hands me the Dorm Detail. Some eccentric girls, who inhabit the dorm, are rumored to be har boring a few strong medium-sized horses. My job—track down their hobbies. I begin investigating the situation armed with a sawed-off pencil. First suspect questioned is Lou Laube who answers, “Collecting beer signs.” I stealthily sneak into a suite and observe Anne Walsh, perched atop her bunk, writing furiously, a secret code undoubtedly. When asked what she is doing, she counters with, “Writing to Jim mie.” Thinking that sufficient, I at tempt to trap Sue Gill and Sue Williams, executing • a real crazy getaway. “Jitterbugging must be their racket,” I decided. Crouching behind a “One Mint Julep” record, Jan Jackson waves her white flag and surrenders with these words, “Okay, okay, my line is sabotaging the campus with re cords by the Clovers.” She leads me to the head of the ring. Along the dark hallway, we pass a figure. “Dottie Parks,” says Jan, and to my inquiry as bo the girl’s activities, continues, “What more do you want!” From the center of the main suite, the hide-out, Eileen Lardo, head of the espionage ring, “Lar do Enterprises,” formerly known as Murder Incorporated, hands out the assignment sheets for col lecting more strong, medium-sized horses. Wtih my trusty telescope, a relic of Mr. Baker’s, I survey the situation. . ' Nancy Elms immediately pro ceeds to her point of demolition, the music appreciation . class, to annoy “Freddie.” Carrying out their orders, I see’ Harlean Benec commencing to knit with her “telephone poles’?, Ruth Myers chiming in with some fiendish ideas contributed by her “hubby”, and Kay (Powell continuing to type out assignments for fur ther destruction of the botany, English, and history classes. Ruth Hovis applies her talents in the direction of, bowling when she captures a traitor, Barb Edel man, who has been receiving strange packages from a reaction ary town called Ellwood City. This is an unpardonable sin and there fore she must serve as a bowling pin for one month. After searching - for the strong middle-sized horses without suc cess, I eye these scheming females and defeatedly slump out of the dorm. Friday, 1:00 p. m.: I report back to the chief who asks, “Did you get the facts?” I answer, “Yes, but I didn’t play the right hunch.” Convention Held At Ogontz Center The Pennsylvania Association of Junior Colleges held its annual convention October 31 at the Ogonitz Center of Penn State, which is located near Philadelphia. Three members of the Behrend Center Student- Council, Jake Gehrlein, Nancy Elms, and Larry Markham, attended, accompanied, by their advisor,’ Mr. Balmer. The schedule, though crowded, was very worthwhile and consisted of the following: Saturday morning the delegates; Everyone is invited to guess whose silhouette appears above. The head may be that of anyone seen around the Behrend campus student, secretary, teacher, cook, administrator, caretaker, etc. The first person to hand in on a slip of paper to the faculty advisor of the Nittany Cub the correct name of the- individual above will win an award. Stop the Presses! By Anne Walsh Stop the presses! Syb Shay, girl editor, sits at her table. Just as she is about to give up and drown the Nittany Cub in Murine (used to lubricate tight eye halls at 3:00 in the morning) Dot Kelly, assis tant editor, reporter, and typist, falls into the room ' gasping, “Scoop! scoop! Anne Walsh just dropped 75 stitches and is- head ing toward Whitey Mioore brand ishing a loaded knitting needle.” Lead: Boy found dead in swim ming pool, argyles in hand, knit ting needle in back. .Tears of joy come to Syb’s eyes. “Good old Anne (copy boy and general nuisance) ;• out making news again.”: : “All right, Dot,” Syb barked, “call her in.” . “Right, chief! Say, chief, I got thp word that they’re going; to break the dorm girls goodies ring. They’ll never get them with old Lump Lardo driving the get-away car (?).” “Well, if it isn’t Dangerous Dave, the smiling Englishman, our spy into the underworld.” “Got a hot tip. Hot checker game raided down at Erie Hall. How about the payoff?” .“AH right, but keep this quiet,” the bpss snarls, handing him 20 cents for cokes. ; So, for the next 20 or 30 hours, Anne, Syb, and Dot compose story after story, writing at a mad pace all the time (what else could you expect of three mad editors?) un til they get near the end. About this time, 'they’re crawling over stacks of paper seven or eight feet high, knocking over coke bottles that mysteriously found their way into the room, and plowing through all kinds of pictures. Every. now and then, editor Shay will take time out to look at a snapshot of Lew for an hour or so, and then she’s inspired to go back to work. Finally, the last headline is written, and the paper is put to bed, but in the still droning me tropolis of the doxm, Jan Jackson is busy making copy for the next issue, Headline: Case of the Chi nese Noodles. divided into four groups to discuss the general topic selected at the organizational meeting, which had been held Friday evening. These topics were: social activi ties, student publications, the re , lationship between adminstration, student government, and student body, and sports activities. An afternoon meeting attended by all delegates reviewed the re i suits of the group discussions.
