PEACE AT ANY PRICE
The borough authorities have once again served
notice on the student body that they mean business.
The most recent «case is that of seven students who
have paid fines amounting to .$29.50 because thVey
failed to remain a judicious distance away from the
scene of a fire several weeks ago.
The borough had a legal right to impose fines on
those students, for the Burgess himself declared that
he could have any student arrested for disorderly con-
duct, even though that student were doing nothing more
than leaning against a post at the Corner. And Bur-
gess Leitzell has also declared that when he has a person
arrested, that person is guilty.
The arrest of those students at the fire seems hard
to justify, since the firemen did not establish a “fire
line” which is the method used in other towns to keep
spectators out of the way of the firemen. Instead,
they waited until the crowd had gathered, and then the
Burgess and his assistants attempted to push the stu-i
dents back. In the excitement, a line of water found
its way in the general direction of the onlookers. And
this wasn't the first time it had happened. Anyone would
object to being treated in that manner.
The borough charges that the students refused to
cooperate; that they deliberately remained in the fire
zone. How many students in that group knew that
there was a borough ordinance prohibiting anyone but
authorized firemen from approaching within 500 feet of
a fire? Was any definite attempt ever made to acquaint
the student body with that fact?
Borough ordinances must be published in a news
paper at the time they are passed, hut they are pub
lished in a paper whose officials have agreed not to
solicit subscriptions among students. Early this year
the borough inserted an advertisement in the Collegian
“warning” the students that violations of the borough
ordinances would be prosecuted. But no effort was
made to explain those ordinances.
Regardless of how unfair the borough’s attitude
and methods appear to be, the students can do noth-
ing. By objecting they are only contributing to the
borough funds through fines, and to Burgess Leitzoll-’s
pocketbook through the costs. Alumni and friends who
are in town this week-end should he notified of the
local situation, so that they will not be caught un-
awares, as so many visitors have been in the past.
The words “courtesy” and “reason” seem to be miss-
ing from the vocabularies of some local men, who
take particular delight in playing the childish game
“bully-on-lhc-ash-pile.”
WELCOME, ALUMNI
Once more the College has the privilege of wel
coming to the campus the alumni. It is with greater
pride and better feeling than ever before that we do
it this year. There is a different’ spirit about Penn
State, a spirit that the alumni are bound to feel after
they have been here a short time.
Penn State is very definitely on the up-grade.
Probably the thing that has done more than anything
else is the winning football team. Perhaps the picture
has not been too bright the last few years. True, some
games have been dropped to schools that might be
called inferior. Those days have passed. Any team
that can play as our team played last week should
satisfy any alumnus, no .matter how particular.
There are other points to consider. The campus
has never looked better than it docs today. Well-kept
paths, nearly perfect lawns, and buildings brightened
by renovation all add to the new feeling that is pres
ent. Even the co-ed, traditional target for unkind
remarks, presents a far more intriguing appearance.
An increase in enrollment points toward a healthy,
steady growth.
It is unnecessary to go on. All this will be ap
parent to the alumni soon after they arrive. A sin
cere welcome awaits. May this week-end be the best
While this department was spending his six-day
week-end in New York he picked up the story of the
most colossal- and far-reaching hoax of the twentieth
century: the inside story of Esquire's streamline de-
partment.
It seems that Count Alexis de Sahknoffsky, the
gent responsible for those drawings you see in the
imag, of airplanes that will not rise off the ground,
cars that no one can get into and trunks that no one
could open is the owner of Esquire. Ife was experi
menting one day with some bright crayons and tint
ed paper when he drew a design for a motor car
much as you scrawl idly on a blotter while waiting for
the operator to park her gum and connect you with
Grange. One of the boys at the office, who was prob
ably trying to chisel the Count, suggested that they
run it in the mag as a joke.
The Count lobked at the dummy and found he
had stuff from every author in the known world but
there were still a couple pages blank. lie ran the
drawing. The rest is history.
The first thing the Count knew the automobile
.Donuld P. Sand.’rs ’36
manufacturers were putting out models from his de
signs. The next month the Count drew airplanes, then
motor boats, trunks and, after he had exhausted his
ingenuity and there was nothing left to make any
more impractical, he gave an interview to the papers,
advocating streamlined humans with designs .for
streamlined anatomy. Still the public swallowed it
and bought Esquire by the tens of thousands.
However the Count has created a Frankenstein
and it looks as though he will have to call- in Dr. Seuss
and Thurber to think up some screwier streamlines.
WHAT PUT RINGS UNDER MY EYES
If there are any unfortunates who tried to fiml
Penn Staters at two o’clock Sunday morning in
New York, they will appreciate the predicament of
the Froth editor who sank into a boyish sleep after
the game and, waking at two, tried to find someone.
He ‘spent the night walking around skylarking at the
big buildin’s. Nary a soul did he sec ... A funloving
group of Nittanies, as the N’Yawk papers like to call
us, gathered together chcz Minsky, Saturday night.
The gals were heaving fundaments in a college skit
when our lads gave a deep-throated “ROAR LION,
ROAR!” From all over the house came the yell as
hundreds of other State lads joined in. The game:
We sat behind Cliff Montgomery: he put on a fine
nail chew when our club hammered through for : the
first score ... he relaxed at.last ; when Brominski
made his bone-crushing run‘in the last quarter ; . .■
That uniformed drunk in the section,
who cheered like mad for us, looked much, like
a Columbia campus cop ; Norris, Phil
Moonves, Gardner Cook, and Jini*Dugan did the Vil
lage . . . Major Thompson was put In a pretty spot
by a drunk who insisted on the Major having one

showed up to go to Florida with Steg and Van . . .
Frizzle and party did Harlem and I can’t exaggerate
. . . We just found a piece of paper in our pocket
with nine room numbers to look up Saturday night
... we never got any further than the New Weston
bridal suite . . . (See Froth for details) . . .

Letter Box
To the Editor:
Albert Kaleda's enthusiasm to dis
cuss the disappearance of the two
bronze, lions that used to grace the
front of our campus led mo to inves
tigate.
•IF Kaleda had made his observa
tions closer, ho would have seen that
they were African lions, obviously not
the type that roam the Nittany Moun
tains.
Several years ago • these glorious
specimens were purchased second
hand from a zoological- garden (zoo
to you). Criticism by the Froth in
1931-32 made it necessary to remove
said lions.
