Dean Warnock Marks 3 Anniversaries—
As Husband, Daily Columnist, Educator
' Arthur Ray Warnock, dean of
men at' the College, has some
thing to! contentedly think about
nowadays . . . three anniversaries.
. He completed’ his first 25 years
with the College Sunday, his
first 29 years with Mrs. War
nock, and his 19th year as writer of
the Daily Half Colyum in the
Centre Daily Times.
The Half Colyum has helped
cement relations between town
and campus, but Dean Warnock
regards it strictly as ai hobby. He
has fun getting local laughs from
a misprint in a classified ad
(“FOR SALE —Second hand drunk
in good condition”) or from an
ambiguous road-stand sign (Pop
Eats Gas).
Now and then he is responsible
for helping circulate an item -that
finds a wider audience, such as
his paragraph about the secretary
who spent her vacation at home
but couldn’t resist the convention
of sending “Wish you were here”
postcards to her town friends. As
sociated Press carried the quip to
newspapers and*radio stations all
over the country.
A. R. W. has not confined his
writing to the daily column. Three
years ago, he wrote; a 13,000-word

“Report to the Commandant,”

Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, were

'Nervously they stepped off the
8:15 Lewistown bus Wednesday,
waited for a reception committee,
and when none came, ventured in
to the unknown wilds of the Penn
State campus.
“Just got to report to the com-
mandant,” and they searched for
him amid the shadows of chem
labs and fraternity houses.
They put their heads through
the open window of a lab, and
were told to walk a block and
turn left. There were lots of trees
—but no commandant.
