Frosh, Be Careful Have you ever noticed the piece of cord dangling from the geology ■monument iii front of the Arm ory? N -Well, four years ago the fresh man class got a brainstorm. The frosh attached a huge sign to the cord which read “Hat Men Chew Their Toenails.” - Needless to say, the following week was a hard one for the first semester boys.

Smith, FSCA secretary, announced today. • . “Although nothing definite has been decided, there is a possibility that motion pictures will toe shown before. the end of the summer semester,” said Smith. The summer heat wave and ..other plans which eventually, fell through were given as reasons for discontinuing movies on Sunday in Sparks Building. Bob Hope in the “Road to Singapore” was the lasi picture to be presented; How Embarrassing The story of the little grey mouse that had first floor coeds at •Atherton Hall in a frenzy between 4 and 4:30 a.m. one Sunday morn ing recently is still being told. It'appears that a two-inch mem ber of the rodent family smuggled himself into the home of Penn State’s upperclass women. While the coeds slept, the mouse attempt ed to explore the spacious dormi tory. However, the mouse made so much noise around the waste pa per basket in the hall that startled coeds ..rushed to the telephone and murmured, “Operator, there’s someone outside my. door.” ■•' Later-events embarrassed more than-one Penn State female.

So they donned their swimming trunks and stretched out on the lawn„ In a few moments the burning sun hid jts shining rays and drops of rain interrupted the backyard activities. Angry, but still in a reasonable mood, the fellows decided a shower was as good as a tan and continued their discussion in the downpour.
