A great loss was suffered on the sports scene when the “Four Horsemen” of Stull Hall, Fred “Fats” Monaco, Ron “B.O.” Ray mond, Frank “King” Hursen, and Dave “Wilt” Lord transferred to the main campus. Luckily, how ever, they left behind John “Bring Them Back Alive” Beatty. A forecast: The “Organization” will try to regain some prestige in sports. It is rumored that they will challenge the girls to a soft ball game sometime this spring. Lots of luck, boys, you’ll need it. 50CK0 By Linda Both When I appeared one morning in the latest campus fashion, bright bulky, wool hockey socks, I dis covered my family members were not exactly connoisseurs of the “collegiate” look. My father adopt ed an indifferent attitude. Ab sorbed in mashing his shredded wheat into an edible form he ap parently didn’t observe the flashy footwear. I cleared my throat several times and gracefully wav ed my fashionable feet at eye level, but with no result. When he began analyzing the possibilities of snow fall before evening, my father’s opinion on such a trivial subject as hockey socks seemed remote. Meanwhile, my brother, with typi cal masculine ego, assumed a stricken, “Oh what do we have here?” expression. Attempting to affect a “man of the world” air, he gazed haughtily at my feet. It soon became apparent that he did not consider my “horrible” socks material with which to begin a conversation, and since he was absorbed in hysterical laughter I turned to my mother. My mother,- by far the most tolerant and in terested of the three, stared at my new sportswear. Racking her brain for something nice to say about my socks, she continued to stare at my distorted reflection in the “They are quite—bright, toaster. aren’t they?” was the only com-, ment she would offer. Disgusted I turned away. The socks felt heavy and my feet were begin ning to be uncomfortably hot in them, but they were “collegiate.” As I exchanged them for my usual white, ankle-high socks I decided with a sigh that my fam ily did not appreciate the “finer things of life.” Tifi MIT TINY CUB Basketball By Stuttering Sedney Behrend Center’s basketball team hold down the number three spot in the western Division of the Pennsylvania Junior College Athletic Association League.
