In former years some of the trees were damaged and quite a few bulbs broken by students evidently filled with too much holiday spirit. It is hoped that this year there will be no damage done to the decorations which represent the combined efforts of town mer chants, the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion, the Alpha Fire Company, and the West Penn Power Company. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 h Foresters In U.S. Service A recent alumni survey by the department of (forestry revealed that at least half of the forestry graduates are employed in Gov ernment services. The report cov ered 933 graduates, including graduates of the Pennsylvania State Forest School at Mont Alto, which was merged with the for estry department of the College in 1929. the sophomore class, also accept ed the challenge. He suggested that Tribunal set up a prize, such as the removal of a custom if the Frosh win, or a longer continua tion of the custom if the Sopho mores triumph. Thus the bucket is shifted into the hands of W. Lewis Corbin, chairman of Tribunal. Corbin says preparations are being made for the tug-of-war, but nothing is definite as yet. It will probably be held inside of the next two weeks, he added.
