Page Foi `Glass House' Gang Shows Genius For Campers The capers cut in the Corner Room by college coke-guzzlers are proof of the unique imagination and inventive ness of our student body. Who but a Penn Stater would ever think of putting straws in fans, or of building his own private lire in an ash tray? . Shooting straw covers:. weaving straws, pinching, them to-find out whether "she loves me or she loves me not" may have been tried in other scholarly haunts, but Only in our own gathering place for the intelligentsia has been initiated 'such a, Successful system of seeing who goes where, when, and with whinn. : . In a' strategid - poSition facing or near the door and by the. window, anyone may easily get a good view of who goes to or from the theatre, cam pus, or town dormitories. A brief stroll through the congested Cr. Rm. "aisles" is enough to tell who is dat ing whom for the evening. Antics performed in Danville have nothing on coin spinning, glass bal ancing tricks executed. on the C. R. tables. To persuade a nickel' to spin around a glass is an enviable accom plishment which only the possessors of unusual • intellectual quirks can achieve. Balancing a glass on a nickel is no trick for those with..cotfee nerves. The new class of . freshmen showed a deplorable lack of higher education in this special glass-balancing field, as many a damp spot proved, but with the able coaching of upperclassmen they'll soon put the seniors to shame. Holding hands and billing and coo ing is by no means a minor feature of the more, private pews. Tho. ro mance which thrives here, however, is apt to be blighted by salt in the sugar bowl or an unscrewed salt cel lar cover. Some of us may be altrilistic by na ture, but how easily we forget it when there ' s a' hance to flavor a'glass of water with salt, to polute a "coke," or to inflict a so-called hot foot.

A. during the past week, and which have accounted for groups of mildly interested and curious student spectators, are essential parts in the completion of the first step in the erection of the new campus buildings. Before foundations are laid, it stands to reason that investigation of the sub-soil is in order. Engineers can build on anything, but it is essen tial to have extensive data on the ma terial they are to build on. Allow ances San then be made for whatever conditions arc met. The sub-soil exploration is done by means of a drill operated by the en gines. Although rumors that large caves had been found are untrue, it is a fact that small cavities have been discoVered, which is nothing unusual. Clay seams, rotten rock, and various kinds of hard rock are also encoun tered. • The work is being done by Sprague and Henwood, Inc., of SCranton, for the General State Authority. The next step in the building program will be the advertising of bids for the contracts for erecting 'the' build ings.
