Scads OF Dads Will Compete
For Coeds' Book
He might be a banker; he could
be an ice man; but that's my pop.
Since everyone has a papa.
mere ownership is not unique, but
possessing a famous dad is.
A who's who poll conducted
among coeds would include Win
ny Renner's father who is a Col
onel in the army, and Peg Whar
ton's dad, alSo a contribution to
the military phase of national de
fense.
"Woody" Wolf, Lynn Wolf's
father, was recently voted the
most popular sports announcer in
minor leagues. He will have a
grandstand seat for the football
game to relay scrimmages on New
Beaver Field tomorrow via broad
casting networks.

We, The Women
Dad Wants To
See The Dividends
Imports mostly male will
swarm in for a weekend at the Col
lege. It is not the same sort of
weekend that is planned for dates;
nevertheless, it is one that will be
packed with activity.
The paramount factor is that the
College will undergo a minute ex
amination. Dad will want proof
that his money and interests are
wisely invested.
We can show him they are. We
prejudiced students take for grant
ed that Dad has not bought on the
margin and it will he our job to
show him he has not.
Perhaps this will be the one time
this year that Dad will see what
we see every day. How he remem
bers these things and the impres
sion he gets of the College will de
pend on this visit. Next week it
will be too late to correct his im
pressions.
This is not a plea for saccharine
behavior. Dad wants to see the
College as it normally is—a large
institution with a. spirited student
body.
We all think this is a great place
or we would not be here. What
we have to do is show our dads just
what makes us proud of Penn
State.
Of Who's Who
Betty Griflith's household is a
former All-American.
Dotty Field's dad, inventor and
lecturer, will speak to a group of
engineers here next week. •
Jessie Jones, Jr., is following in
her father's footsteps. Jones, Sr.,
manager of the Lancaster airport,
is inventor of the single propellor
for airplanes.
Though the lineage goes back
a generation, Marge Sykes' grand
father is Pittsburgh's oldest news
paper reporter and columnist.
Dads' success stories could go
on and on. But to coeds, dad's
an ace just because he's dad.

Did You H6nestly Pull:.
Such Playful Pranks, Pay?
Daddy Really Cut
Campus Capers, Too
That's all right,. kids, maybe: we
aren't so bad after all. And when
Dad writes for information regard
ing a letter received from the Col
lege, perhaps it would be wise to
remind him of some things that
happened when he was in school.
There's the tale of 20 year's
standing of the boys who would
"fix-up" blind dates for bashful
classmates with a lovely but mis
understood woman whose husband
was out of town. Helping a class
mate in his social life is well and
good—but what about hiding in the
bushes surrounding the supposed
date's home, pretending to be her
husband, and then giving the
thwarted romeo a good beating?"
Class parties are another story.
In the "good old days" these af
fairs lasted a week. One time, we
are told, freshmen evading upper
classmen hid in a deserted box-car
—and were locked in for several
days.
No class scrap would have been
complete without several broken
bones. Biggest reason for their
abolishment was that one partici
pant was fatally wounded.
No story on what College used to
be - would be complete without the
traditional tale of the cow which
reposed in Old Main tower.
Such information is not a bad
thing to know. Even houseparties
are Sunday. School picnics com
pared to the parties that Dad's gang
used tcy.throw.
