two months vacation in England and
France. Morse is in 'charge of resi
dent instruction here.

The most interesting' case arose
late in the proceedings. Edward Sar
gent was placed on trial for violat
ing the dating law. The defendant
pleaded not guilty cn the ground that
the "date" was his mother. The point
of law in question reads "Freshmen
shall not associate With any girls
within a three-mile limit of Old
Main . . ." flowerer, the Tribunal
interpreted the phrase "any giills"
as not including mothers and so de
clared Sargent not guilty.
Clark Sentenced
Opening court at 8 o'cicck, the jus
tices heard the ease of Frank Clark.
The charge was dink." Immedi
ately found guilty, the court passed
sentence. Clark shall, for one week
ending Thursday, wear a large milk
maid's bonnet with green streamers
tied neatly under the chin and the
ends dangling to the waist. : A sign,
"Much rather wear my dink," will
grace his back.

the- person of George: liamruh' will
advertise thelact that "She was only
a .hometown gal" and that he is a

`Big Apple' Furore
Sweeps Campus
Dancers
"The Big Apple," now the college
dance craze from coast to CMISI, is
destined to reach ks zenith on the
Penn State campus before litany
dances have passed. Already this os
cilia Hog dance frivolity has heel:oiled
the majority of State's habitual
dance-goers. The furore it has cre
ated on the campus during the past
three weeks is proof enough of its in
creasing popularity.
This new dance dilemna—what is
it? Some say it is merely a glorified
square dance., Others contend that it
is it combimition of "truckin" and the
Susie-Q. 10 truth. it is both of these
plus a widel varied series of insane
movements all rolled into one to give
swing music a new dance partner.
Verily. it is a hash 'concoction made
up of practically every conceivable
type of dance step.
The Big Apple is designed for dan
cers-who like a bit of action on the
ballroom floor, who don't mind skit
tering about an their feet in madcap
fashion. How long it will be popular
cannot be reckoned, hut by the law of
averages, it should reach its peak at
Penn State by next spring, then start
the downward trek to the land of
Charleston, Malt Jong, and the Black
Bottom.
