Por you, reader, (just in case
you don’t know .what a real, live
Compy Cutie is) a vague defi
nition has been composed in your
behalf. A Compy Cutie is ..the fe
male of the species who takes
physical education at Behrend
Center. She knows .that in order
to chase boys effectively, she
must be in top physical condition.
A Compy Cutie is extremely/
cautious, especially about such
things as entering the “Bare
End” shower room. She is also
very considerate of her boy
friend’s ego when playing ping
pong, and never defeats her male
opponent by more than twenty
one points. A Compy Cutie is most
easily indentified by her blue
shorts, her cheerful nature and
ready smile, her dislike of exercise!
14, her love of basketball, her!
shaply legs, her deformities re
sulting- from Speed-a-way, and'
her accumulation of black and
blue marks. (Want me to fix you
up?)
Well, we can’t call the B. C.
girls’ basketball team undefeated,
but they have won two games.
This insidious team is composed
of: Sandy David, P. J. (Wilt)
Gordon, Elaine Hilbert, Jane Mc-
Clain, Myma Morton, Lea Moses,
Karole Panameroff, Dee Rankin,
Marion • Kay Spanbauer,
and Carole Lazarus.
Have you ever thought about
getting an A.R.C. instructor’s cer
tificate? It might come in handy
sometime ■when you’re looking for
a summer job. A course began
March 11 at the Y.W.C.A. pool.
All you nefed to be eligible is your
senior lifesaving certificate, and,
guess what, boys? You’re invited
too! •

Bare knees or not bare knees
. . . that is the question- The' con
troversial question of bermudas
for boys was asked of the student
body and faculty of Behrend -in
a recent survey.
Two-thirds of our pretty co-eds
approved of this idea with such
remarks as, “great idea,” “neat
looking and casual,” and “I like
’em!”
On the other hand, in answer
to our question, “What do you
think of bermudas for boys?” a
perky co-ed remarked, “I try not
to think about it!”
The majority of fellows, how
ever, don’t seem to agree with tht
gals, for only one-third of them
| thinks bermudas are sensible
| Their fi-m disapproval was ex-
I pressed from a grotesque facial
■ expression and an undistinguish.
! able remark, to an emphatic,
“Bermuda shorts!! Definite!?
not!!”. As one bright lad put it
“At this rate they’ll be swinging
from trees in fifty years!”
In spite of th"se remarks, 2£
jper cent of the fellows wear ber
mudas and claim they’re com
fortable and neat.
Our faculty wr; evenly divided
on the pros and cons of the mat
ter. Faculty members on the pro'
side agreed, “Everything had it
proper time and place,” and
“Bermudas for boys, worn undei
proper conditions, are perfectly
proper.”
Well, fellows, these are the re-,
suits. You act accordingly. By the
way, do you wear bermudas?
the girls movies? Could it be the
films, perhaps? -
That’s it' for now, and don’t
forget . . . look out for “Blaekie
Carbon” on. Gospel Hill tonight!
Berms for Boys!

Sports Review
By Ray Chop
Behrend’s gymnasium was the
scene of a high school wrestling
tournament recently. Under the
direction of Coach Goodwin,
wrestlers with two or less varsity
matches to their credit competed
for the trophies. An unexpectedly
high turnout of seventy-one
wrestlers from the area schools
turned up for the event.
The intramural basketball
schedule got into full swing dur
ing the past few weeks. A total
of four teams entered the pro
gram set up by Mr. Goodwin.
The standing of the clubs so
far:
Sparks
Stoops
Beginners
Bengal Lancers
Bud Seiffert (Stoops) with 36
points, Jerry Buzza (Beginners)
with 26 points, and Ron Settle
mire (Sparks) with 25 points are
the high-point men in the league.

An intramural sports program
for girls has been set for Mon
day nights from 6:00 to 7:00. The
girls are offered bowling, bad
minton, volley ball, and basket
ball. So far, the girls haven’t been
showing much interest. c Come on,
girls, get-hep! Turn in a list of
the members of your team for any
of the aforementioned sports to
Coach Goodwin.
That's about all in the way of
sports news around B. C. campus
for now.
$ Bowling 0
By Helene Longo
Bowling: the careful aim and
release of the ball with the arm
and shoulder straight; the en
couraging cheers from one’s team
mates as he aims for the needed
strike; the replies of “too bad,”
“almost had it,” and “get it the
next time” as one misses a spare;
the graceful swaying of the ten
pin as it rocks back in place;
intense concentration to obtain
the proper balance of the feet
and arm; the carefree laughter
of Tudy Russell as she slides half
way down the alley after the
ball; the confusion on a new
bowler’s face as everyone shouts
some last minute instructions; the
disappointmnt as a “sure” strike
turns into a split; the befuddled
score keeper who is unfamiliar
with the bowlers; the proud feel
ing as one bowls a new high
game.

STRIKES and

By Elaine Hilbert
Have any of you asked your
selves why Chuck Simons is walk
ing down the bowling alleys at
10:00 at night pushing a mop?
Well, the answer is that he is
cleaning up' after the Behrend
bowlers.
Every Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday there is league bowl
ing. The other nights are left free
for open bowling.
There are six teams at Behrend
this semester who have achieved
the names of the Elephants (the
faculty), the Angels, Hawks, Ter
rors, Tigers, and. the Eagles. So
far the Hawks and the Angels
have won two games each, and
the Tigers and Eagles have won
one.

The bowling at Behrend is very
reasonable, considering what you
would pay in town. Only 25 cents
a game.
Our women bowlers axe setting

Norman Balmer, ten year old
son of Professor and Mrs. Louis
Balmer, decided to go skiing.
However his hike to find a place
resulted in a scare for the
Behrend Campus. Along with two
fire companies and a civil defense
crew, a group of volunteers (stu
dents and instructors) aided .in
the search. Norman was found
uninjured and in fine condition
at Belle Valley, a town ten miles
from his home.
