NEWS DIRECT FROM
PENN STATE CAMPUS
Dan Wargo, Hazleton Center stu
dent last year and member of the
Hazleton Little Theater group, has
been cast in the part of a southern
preacher in "Down of the Moon," to
be presented at State College soon.
Dan had a leading role in "Ten
Nights in a Bar Room" which played
fifteen nights in Schwab hall. This
was a record run for college talent
plays at the campus.
Hazleton Centerites who went to
the campus this February have
wasted no time in getting into activ
ities. Jay Meikrantz is a member of
Penn State's symphony orchestra
and Sammy Hall has been accepted
in the Chapel Choir.
It didn't take Maurice Rornanelli
and Leo Ravina long to organize a
Fingers competition in the true tra
dition of Tresckow. The boys from
this area drummed up the project
and more of Penn State's students—
reportedthis session at over 9,500--
are beginning to learn a new game.
Girls planning to advance to the
main campus will be outfitted royally
next year in McElwain hall, now un
der construction.' The building is
about a five minutes slow walk to
Old Main and is rumored to have
telephones in each room.
Many of the boys wishing to bol
ster their finances have taken jobs of
various kinds in the fraternity houses.
in State College. Bernie Yurick, pre
med student, didn't waste too much
time to do this when making the
rounds of the houses during the be
tween-semesters-vacation.
And for the rest of the students,
they are showing the bones their fin
gers are worked down to .. . with
studies.
The Weaker Sex
According to a report Miss Ruth
Stinemeyer read, the men are the
weaker sex. This could be serious. If
enough men find this out, soon the
woman -will have to help them with
their overcoats and open car doors
for them. Wouldn't it be pretty silly
to see the new bride carry the groom
across the threshold? Or see a woman
pull-out a chair for her boy friend be
fore ';he sits down? However, a re
marl 'from Squirrelly Nowak gives
up hope that this will • ever happen.

PLEASE
DO NOT SMOKE
Faculty Members and
Administration Heads ask

LOCAL ANNOUNCER DON MURRAY
INFORMS CENTER ABOUT WAZL
It's quite unique after laying out
for several months to be again back
of the typewriter with a Fourteen
Ninety column . . . But then Penn
State has been very kind in permit
ting us to "blow our own horn" in
the paper and so we've taken advan
tage of the offer to tell you a few
things about WAZL that you un
doubtedly already know ... "The re
gion's key toNBC"... "The voice of
Pennsylvania's highest city" are two
of the household expressions familiar
to everyone in the region.
In spite of Jack Benny's moving to
another network, WAZL has re
placed Benny's slot with the Horace
Heidt show . . . If you listen to
Horace for Phillip Morris then you
know that the replacement is worth
while America was built on its
faith in its youth, and Horace is just
carrying on the true American tra
dition
by aiding the youth to get a
chance on a coast to coast hookup of
America's number one network . . .
At the studios of WAZL we have
other excellent programs for your
listening pleasure . . . Bob "Penn
State" Sacco conducts his Polka
Time show nightly Monday through
Friday at 6:15 and by the way the
mail comes in we think 6:15 is the
top spot . . . Then the Penn: State

COLLEGE CIRCUIT
Boston College has taken a deeper
plunge into the leveling of student
financial difficulties. It has adopted
what is known as the "Purchase Card
System." The card may be bought
for one dollar and it entitles the stu
dents to sales discounts at the co-op
eration BoSton corporations. Some
sixty colleges and universities have
already experimented with the plan
and at the latest report the students
as well as the merchants seemed sat
isfied.
Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, has
the honor of being host" for the first
state conference of International Re

the spring. "
Here is one for the Greek students.
Miami University's Greek Symposium
have begun as a movement to raise
$2,000 for the erection of Socrates in
granite. The plan as yet hasn't
clicked as the students are protesting
rather loudly.
Students of Wilkes College recent
ly formed a caravan to Split Rock
Lodge in the Poconos. The weather
was ideal for the enjoyment of all
winter sports which included skiing,
skating, ice-boating and toboggan
ing.
After a tiring day the collegians
welcomed refreshments and ended
their sporting trip with dancing at
the lodge.
In a recent copy of the Kings Col

headlines. It read, "With the warm
weather in these parts Dan left the

NOT ANGELS, BUT ANGLES
"Cordelia was an angle,"
Wrote one who'd studied LEAR.
She must have been a fearsome sight!
Was she obtuse or was she right?
And did France think her queer?
I did not work this by square root,
But I think Cordie was a-CUte
Angle!

Possess a library, yet there are many
students at the Center who make
very scant use of it, and some who
have never been in the library at all.
Apparently many of them are not
aware of what the library has to of
fer.
Our library contains 3800 volumeS
and subscribes to over thirty period
icals among which are the Reader's
Digest, Esquire, Time, and Life. The
latest best sellers in fiction and non
fiction are available for leisure read
ing. Our reference section is rapidly
expanding and contains many valu
able reference works including the
Encyclopedia Britannica (with the
addition of Encyclopedia Americana
expected shortly).
A BORROWED BOOK
A borrowed book is like a guest in
the house; it must be treated with
punctiliousness, with a certain con
siderate formality. You must see that
it sustains no damage: it must riot
suffer under your roof. You cannot
leave it carelessly, you cannot tut"'
down the names, you cannot use it
familiarly. And then some day, al
though this is seldom done, you real
ly ought to return it.

IN CAPSULE FORM
The Alibi
Kate Eked to sleep late. So being
late was the rule rather than the ex
ception in her case. Morning after
.morninT, she reported for classes at
least five minutes after everybody
else, but teacher was a kindly person
and also one who liked to sleep so he
hesitated to say anything to her.
Soon the other students began to
complain of this so-called partiality
shown to Kate, and the time had
come when teacher had to speak to
her of this matter.
That morning five minutes after
everybody was seated, Kate arrived
and teacher loudly summoned her to
his office.
" "Late again," he bristled, his blood
pressure hitting about 300 ...
"Why er ...er," she stuttered,
"I got a flat tire on my way to
school . . . I'm awfully -sorry, Mr.
Steele ..."
Teacher, being a kindly person and
also one who liked to sleep, immedi
ately accepted her excuse. He told
her in his best school voice that all
would be forgotten.
Kate was quite leased with her
perfect alibi. Wilqe performing her
daily tasks she made a mental note
to try to be on time the next morn
ing.
The next morning found Kate, up
bright and early. She just couldn't be
late after how nice teacher had' been
to her yesterday.
But on the way to school poor Kate
got a flat tire ...
Having arrived at class exactly a
half hour late Kate reported to
teacher. "Mr. Steele ... I'm ...er .
er ... late again ... you see ... I
er ... I overslept ..."
Td CONDUCT POLL
Sometime in the near future the
Activities Board is going to conduct
a poll of the students to determine
what activities they would like . to see
initiated at the Center.
