Stein Ready To Serve Sentence;
Prepares To Study Prison Life
By MICHAEL A. BLATZ
• Making last minute prepara
tions before leaving for Belle
fonte to serve a one-day sentence
in the Centre County bastille,
Gerald B. Maxwell Stein '44, had
one fine statement to make.
His last words were: "I'd rath
er serve my sentence than com
mit a greater crime by paying the
fine.",
Coinmenting on the $7.25 fine,
$5 for the traffic violation and
$2.25 for costs, Stein said that he'd
rather have one on the house.
• With nerves quite steady, Stein
quietly awaited the arrival of the
gendarme who is to ride him over
to Bellefonte at 8• this morning.
While Stein admitted that the
traffic violation was quite serious,
he didn't feel that his conscience
would bother him much about
serving a prison sentence.
As a matter of fact, Stein is
anxiously looking forward to the
day that he can tell his children
about the ghost in the family
closet.

PRICE THREE CENTS
Stein committed the offense
against the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania recently by riding
through a red-light on a bicycle.
He was pedalling along quite
serenely until told to "Pull over"
by the officer on patrol duty.
"I hardly know what to expect
but I've been told that the Belle
fonte jail is not a first-class hos
telry," he added. "If it's as they
say, I'll probably get a humdinger
of a report for my Soc 428 course
on Juvenile Delinquency.
"Gosh, but won't Dr. Moore be
proud of me, getting my report
the hard way," he said with a
dreamy look in his eye.
Finally packed, tooth brush and
slippers included, Stein said he
would be glad to see any visitors
who could get down to Bellefonte,
that is, if the authorities approve.
In• addition to saving $7.25,
Stein is looking forward to
catching up on a little sleep and
doing a few back assignments be
tween today and tomorrow morn
ing at 8 a. m. when his sentence
is completed.
