Lion Shrine Wins First Round
As Nostalgia K.O.'s Little Leo
After a few short days spent in trying to adapt a purring lion
cub to State College conditions, his supervisors have arrived at the
conclusion that he is suffering from that "freshman" disease of
homesickness, and will grow up in this big' wide world better if he
is temporarily sent back to his family.
• This pint-sized edition of Penn State's Nittany Lion was the
surprise which Vox Pop presented to the throng which packed Rec
Hall Monday night. Immediately the center of attraction, Little Leo
fwif..ly pried open the hearts , of State students and climbed in.
It all' started at to IWA-spon
sored Vox Pop program, when, on
a coast to coast hook-up, Parks
Johnson and Warren Hull were
concluding an hour of entertain
ment. Finishing the last inter
view, that of newly-elected Sen
ior President Harold Bucher,-
these program directors made a
sudden variation from their usual
presentation procedure. Instead
of giving a reward to the individ
ual, Johnson and Hull brought
fcrth a deafening number of
"ohs and' ahs," as they carried
out a live and breathing, heart
warming lion cub.
Six short weeks ago in a den
in -Central Park Zoo, New York, a
child was born to ..Mr. and- Mrs.
Leo Felis. Only yesterday, little
Leo was resting, although uncom

oratory on Ag-Hill: But now, even
though his milk diet had been
under the supervision of J. F.
Shigley, professor of veterinary
science, Leo is on his way back
to his native city.

on the map, but this time not
by athletic deeds or scholastic
prowess. The Associated Press has

Pitt Panthers Fear
Cutting In At Dance
After State Game
Deep in the heart of the Pitt
News at the bottom of a column,
by .Roger' Harrison Jr., spent in
discussing the University of Pitts
burgh dance the night of the Pan
thers' massacre by Ohio State the
week before last, the following
appeared:
"All the moon-eyed guys at the
dance were glad to hear the an
nouncement of the dance to be
given on the night of • the. Penn
State game. They're bursting in
their anxiety to last more than a
couple of dances before someone
cuts in on them."
The tolerant Penn State campus
attitude is that the Pitt boys may
have a swell time at the dance ;
they may even keep their girls;
but if they expect to have a "Vic
tory Dance" tomorrow night, they
are barking up the wrong Lion.
LaVie Candidates
All candidates who wish to

Band To Play State, Pitt,
Service, Jazz Songs At Game
Striking a novel, modern note,
the Blue Band played the Jim
Burden Jazz Lick at the Temple
game. A lick is a spirited jazz cheer
done rhythriiically.
° Inaugurated. in 1941 by Walt
James, who was then president of
the Blue , Band and leader of the
Aristocrats, campus dance band,
the lick is fast becoming one of the
most traditional and popular pieces
in the band repertoire.
Following James, Vic Dimeo,
also band president and dance
band leader, wrote several pieces
entitled "Vic Licks" and Don
Smith: trumpet player, displayed
his versatility along these lines of
composition. Recently Jim Burden,
band 'member, wrote the lick cur
rently used.

Students staggered far behind their $2,000 National War Fund goal,
with a total of less than $l5O, as the first stage of solicitations in the
Armory, at New Beaver Field, and at the Independent Student Corn•
mittee's "Foot-Ball," ended last week. The second phase of 'the cam
paign, including individual approaches in living units, appeals to cam
pus organizations for contributions, and the establishment of booths
in Old Main and at the front and back entrances of Carnegie Hall,
began Wednesday, with no .sales figures yet available.

the originally-set closing date Friday, winners of the $5O and $25 war

contribute. Since there can be no

vice men on campus are urged by
the newspaper staff to make their
donations at the Old Main or
Carnegia Hall booths.
Created for the purpose of do
ing away with . the 'necessity of
constant minor appeals by indi
vidual war relief agencies, the
National War Fund is a federation
of. 17 major groups, with more
than 100 subsidiary members. By
providing a coordinated program
for collection and distribution of
money. and materials among its
members, the War Fund saves
money, manpower and supplies
by, preventing duplication of ef
fort in one field.
The three phases of the organ
ization's work are to determine
the nature and extent of war-re
lated needs; to see that everyone
has an opportunity to contribute
to the funds required; and to
channel the sums raised wherever
American help is currently most
needed, for the military front, the
United Nations front, and the
home front.

Players Switch From
'Arsenic' to More Subtle
Form of Woman Poison
In sharp contrast to that' slap
.happy horror story, "Arsenic and
Old Lace," is Players' forthcoming
production, James M. Barrie's
"Quality Street," now in rehearsal
under the direction of Grace 0.
Clayton, graduate student in dra
matics.
. Scheduled for December 7 and
8, "Quality Street" is a romantic
period piece in typically whimsical
Barrie style. •
Summed up briefly in modern
terms, the play might be outlined
as girl meets boy, girl makes a
play for, boy, , girl; gets.tboy, .but .the
summary hardly . does justiCe to the
very genteel and maidenly devices
of Miss Phoebe, the girl in ques
tion. Nor does it take into consid
eration the fact that, since the ac
tion takes place at the beginning of
the last century when ladies were
ladies, Miss Phoebe is a long time
in warming up to her task of be
coming a go-getter.
Betty Reed takes the part of
Miss Phoebe and Ray Boyle plays
.the clashing Valentine Brown, the
object of her affections. The third
lead goes to Alice R. Geyer as Miss
Susan, the "old maid" sister of Miss
Phoebe. Boyle was last seen as the
bluff, "charging" Teddy Brewster
in "Arsenic and Old Lace," while
both Miss Reed and Miss Geyer are
newcomers to Players.
Technical staff and crews for
"Quality Street" have been select
ed and are now at work under
George Rowe who is general stage
manager and supervisor. Rowe was
construction manager for "Ar
senic." Jack Givens is construction
manager, George Graham of Thes
pians is stage manager, and light
ing is under the direction of James
Redmond.
Eleanor Ream is paint manage•,
with Constance Guz 'assisting her.
Costume manager is Violet.Grubin
and her assistant is Carolyn Smith.
Props are under the management
of Pat McClure and her assistants,
Allene Babbitt and Ruth Anders.
Claire Kohn is in charge of adver
tising. for the show.
