Polylith, Cannons, Other Oddities
On Campus Unnoticed by Students
The stone polyhth and pair of black
iron cannons in front of the Armory
are among many Intel estmg oddities
on the Campus passed unnoticed by
most atudents in their daily trudge to
classes
Constructed in 1896, the polyith
consists of 281 samples of stone pro
cured from almost 150 different lo
calities in the State. It represents a
span of millions of years of the geo
logical formation of the earth's crust
in Pennsylvania. The polyhtli is not,
as some freshmen would believe, a
monument to "Old Jerry," the mule
which hauled stones for the real Old
Main seventy-three years ago
In addition to being dragged mound
by It 0. T. C. students, the two little
black cannons which squat in front
of the Armory were the principals in
a legendary battle between the "Town
Muckeis" and the "Old Main Rata" in
the late eighties After being taunt
ed by the "Townies," the "Rats" load-
Yearlings Lack
Proper Poundage,
Statistics Show
'Upon entering Penn State the nra.,
Imlay of the freshmen this year were,
underweight for their height with,
fifty-eight percent of the yearling
class lacking the poundage that is con-,
'mdered necessary for perfect health, ,
according to statistics compiled by Dr.
Charles D. Dietterrch, assistant Col-,
I lege physician.
Of these, tlurty-four percent were!
rn the danger zone with more than,
scoop percent under the average !
weight. Seven percent underweight
recognised as the inimmu weight,
la, which the body can offer m
proper,
resistance to tuberculosis and other,
I ravaging diseases
Most of the first-year students,'
however, reaped immediate benefits in
health during the first four months'
a college. Observation of the stu
dents by the College health service
disclosed the fact that twenty-five of d
those below average had gained the
approved weight, while the majority
or those not in the optimum and mum
mum health range had passed the,
dangee zone
Taking all physical characterrsticsi
Otto consideration the class of 1935 is,
Just about the average of freshman ,
'groups throughout the country, swill
the physician The average freshman,
rt the beginning of the fast semester,
weighed 137 4 pounds and attained al
height of 676 inches. The group,,
taken as a whole, was two and one.,
hale pounds underweight for the averl
age height
The tallest and shortest sporters of
disks this year reached 766 and 608
inches abase Mother Earth, respec;
while the col respondinj, figure:
fr ' - ist year were 76.8 a nd -
for last year acre 76.8 and 64 inches.

CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
Richard Shoop '3l uas elected presi
dent and Hayes A. Hastings vice
president of the Penn State club at a
meeting Monday night George W.
Brown '34 teceived the office of treas
urer.
ed the cannons wish all sorts of de
bris and fired them at "Fort, Shiv
ery," the hangout of the town stu
dents, which still stands on the corner
of Pugh street and Highland avenue.
A small, square stone, almost coy
rind over by the dirt near the mail
box across from McAllister Hall,
marks the legendary burial place of
a professor's wife's pet dog. The in
scription "Tiny" can be faintly dis
cerned on the stone, which is said to
have been placed there in the early
days of the College
Old Main, which was lased in the
summer of 1929 to make way for the
new structure which nosy stands in its
place and bears its name, was the
scene of ninny collegiate pranks
Probably the most notable was the
Lase of the mule, "Old Snowball,"
who according to the story was paint
ed profusely by the funsters and then
diaven up into the tower in the dead
of night.

What Others Think
~
This is a sports writer's, or worm's
eye view, of what really took place
at the Intercollegiate Boxers Conven
tion at Penn State April 8 and 9 ... .
It's a lot easier to write this way
.. . anything goes ... . the =i
tem], as usual, is absolutely authen
tic . . . wheer it wasn't gotten per
sonally it came from sources beyond
teproach.
It seems that Penn State is the
last refuge of Collegianw .. . white
shoes, sport shoes in black and brown
. . .. tan too .. . . knickers and
trench coats by the dozens . .. .
freshmen still weal ing their disks and
black tics and socks . . . . almost for
gotten bright yellow slickers . .
the Tap Room, a combination of.what
an old time bar used to look like and
what a modern five-cent beanery is
. . pie-war prices and pre-war
food . . . . the pictures of favored
boxers in the corner store, with some
young bloods and blonde giving them
the once over . .. "Say ain't that
John Schricker?" . . . The Corner,
so here ambitious youths take the one
and only and part with the year's al
lowance .
Hagan and Cleveland, Army boxers
who won their ways to the semi-fi
nals nominated Martin and Namlick
of Pitt as the hardest men they fought
all year ....
Johnny McAndrews, state boxing
captain for '33, fought at 135 pounds
last season . ... he only weighs , ls3
now .... one of the Penn State
boys who didn't enter the touirley can
beat any of the title winners any time
they fight
