Shrine And Vine,
They're All Gifts
Along with "`ye old traditions"
of the willow tree "that went with
Napoleon on the island of St. Hel
ena" and the famous "Hello Spir
it," there are also the traditional
class gifts.
:For years, American college
students have left everything
from memorial plaques to de
fense bonds to their alma mater
and Penn State is no exception.
Since 18641, a practically un
broken stream of diversified gifts
have been left to this campus—
and every alumni weekend will
sec graduates young and old
pointing out "our" class gift.
Around the older buildings on
campus, memorial plaques, gifts
from 1891 to 1866 can be seen.
The actual start of lasting . mem
orials began with the presentation
of the clock in Old Main tower
in 1904. That same yeaar the use
of class numerals were started.
The benches recently set up were
a gift of the class of 1900.
The ivy which distingishes cam
pus buildings is a donation of the
classes from 1908 to 1912. In 1913,
the graduates gave us the terrace
in front of Old Main. In short,
the legend of Old Main has been
built up by the students them
selves.
Loan memorial and scholarship
funds as class gifts have helped
many a student get through and
in some cases, enter college.
National reputation was gar
nered when the class of '32 made
possible the Henry Varnurn Poor
murals, which gave Penn State
nationwide publicity in many
publications'.
Perhaps the best known and
best loved gift of all is the Lion
Shrine—which was given in the
summer of 1942, a gift of the class
of '4O. The class of '42 with an
eye to future 'scholarships donated
a gift of defense bonds.

Source of Plaque
Still Unsoll;ed
Despite Tips
By CHARLIE MANVILLE
Due to the continued and num
erous calls from helpful and in
formative people, both in town
and on campus, I have been too
busy to report to those interested
readers exactly what progress has
been made in solving the mystery
of the plaque in.the Armory from
the battleship Maine.
Frankly, I am very amazed at
the amount of people connected
with this great institution of learn
ing who arc authorities on the
historical items that can be found
around the campus. Who would
have thought that such an insig
nificient thing as a plaque made
of metal 'scrapped from the sunken
battleship should attrack so much
interest and cause so much cur
iosity. I am deeply grateful to
all those authorities for the help
and information they have given
me.
Just the other night, I received
a call from a man who, in an ob
viously muffled voice, told me he
had a hot tip on the plaque mys
tery but he desired to remain an
onymous. He related that while
browsing in his attic one evening,
he ran across some documents
that definitely prove the plaque
was smuggled into the College by
Molly !Pitcher. This may sound il
logical to some people . . . I con
fess that it does to me . . . but
who can disprove it?
Another report sounds more
probable but it too leaves a faint
trace of suspicion in my mind.
According to one of my informants
the plaque was placed on the Ar
mory by two Japanese spies the
night of Pearl Harbor. Our ene
mies reasoned that the sudden
appearance of a historically im
portant hunk of bronze would
throw the people of State College
into such a frenzy that our war
effort would be disasterously de
terred and it would be a cinch for
Admiral Yamamoto to dictate the
surrender proceedings from the
White House.
How's that? Do you like that
solution any better? If not, and if
you have any further information
to add, just let me know . . .
maybe you'll get a reward.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1945
WSGA Announces
New Permissions
Senate of Women's Student
Government Association has an
nounced that starting next seines
ter coeds will be permitted to re
turn to the College after hours
from weekends at home twice each
semester
Women who go home more of
ten will have to take 1 o'clock re
movals for any late returns over
two. Any hours between 111 p.m.
and 7 a. m. are designated as late
returns by the dean of women's
office. Coeds taking advantage of
these special permission's will be
required to have their parents'
consent. They must also ride from
the bus stops to their dormitories
by taxis, according to the ruling.
For the first time next semester,
coeds will be asked to fill out their
WSGA Activity Cards at registra
tion. Formerly, these blanks were
disttributed in the individual liv
ing units, but Senate 'believes that
this new system will save time
because of the many town houses
and dormitories which will be oc
cupied this fall.
Philotes Elects Officers
Irene Illingworth was elected
president of Philotes at a meet
ing Wednesday. The other offi
cers-elect are: Esther Pennay,
vice vresident; Gertrude. Bopp,
secretary; Dorothy Tate, treas
urer; 'Sylvia Yearick, activities •
chairman; Dorothy Sherwood,
publicity chairman; and 'Mary
Lou Harmon, historian.
The organization will complete
its activities for the semester at ,
a banquet in the Allencrest Tues
day.
Room. Shortage Better
Correcting the rumor that
coeds will be obliged to live
three in a room next semester,
Charlotte E. Ray, dean of wo
men, announced that the room
shortage is constantly being re
lieved by the procurement of
more fraternity houses and by
last minute withdrawals of po-.
tential freshmen.
Ex-servicemen attending col
lege under the GI Bill of Rights'
represent approximately one-•
tenth of the total student enroll
ment. Thirty-one of the nearly
200 veterans are married.
