State won its seventh inteicollegiatc champion
but the following yeai sank to fifth place In
the Nittany giapplcrs advanced to thud place,

he fact that Coach Speidel's pioteges weie foiced

The Show Window
The promised interviews with the famous men
about the campus aie indefinitely postponed pend
ing the loport of a special committee as to just who
the famous men are. With the exception of Mr Pro
bert, theie was much dissension among the fratei
nities and professots regaidmg their favontc sons,
and the local All-Atnei ican team selections have not
been seen on the campus for several ycais How
evei, all those who think that they arc justly fam
ous will wait m peace knowing quite well that the
Campu'-eei will get aiound to them eventually'.
In spite nf dire forebodings, the Soph Hop turned
out to* lie one of the best flee for alls we ovci par
ticipated in, thanks to the Phi Delts’ .punch We
nominate the (hummer of the oichestia foi the hall
of fame unanimously, with the chan man of the fnv
oi committee as alternate Aftei weeks of bad
news about the orehestm, and vague doubts os to
w hethei wc would be able to hide m the bass (hum,
eveivthmg turned out marvelously We metely dis
guised ouiself as a campus cop, picked up n case of
liquoi fiom one of the parked cats, and stiolled bold
1\ in stating that we had a message fiom Gaicia.
Incidentally, both Dean Warnock and Doe Ritenoui
did some fancy stepping at the affan We heaitdy
endorse the movement for more sociable College of
ficials And now for the Inteifiatemity Ball.

parsed and bid them Godspeed
Not that we wish to appear nosey, but we must
say on the behalf of seveial well-known tall men
about the College, that they really ought to mise the
chandehci m then dining loom several inches At
least thev ought to keep meicuiochiomc and adhesive
plastei handy. Oi they might pass out football hel
mets to all who dance in that poition of the building
On coming in ten minutes late for a class m Lib
eial Aits one morning, we discovered a huge crowd
in fiont of one of the (loots Immediately sensing
news of some snit we dashed down with papci and
pencil all icadv Imagine oui chagnn when we found
it was onlv u hunch of enginocis waiting for Doc
toi Owens* math class to dismiss After seveial at
tempts to take up a collection to purchase an alarm
clock oi dynamite, we went our unsuccessful way in
disgust
With the discoveiy of the fact that \nily Zaigei’s
campus cop fotte consisted of about tliuty stout
hearted men, theie came the realization that he would
need consideiablc aid in using them. Wo suggest
they might be used to call the gnls in Giange Doim
foi anv person who waits moie than ten minutes try
ing to get somebody to announce then arnval. The
cops might also assist seveial of the big men in the
College who aie weighted down with numerous keys,;
and have difficulty in moving mound And theie aie'!
countless co-eds who would love to have these big, 1 ’
bionred, stalwait supennen cany thou books.
