Lion's Paw Saves Trees
On Mt. Nittany's Summit
A Navy crew-cut threatened old
Mt. Nittany’s head Wednesday but
tradition-loving alumni idhecked
the woodsman’s ax just in time.
As a crew of woodcutters pre
pared to strip the mountain top of
,ts trees for much-needed pulp-,
wood, Lion’s Paw, senior honor
society, stepped in with a $3OO
down payment and 'bought the
craot from the Nittany Outing Cluib
for a reported price of $2OOO.
Russell E. Clai'k, alumni, secre
tary Of Lion’s Paw, who consum
mated the deal within a few hours,
explained:
"We did it on impulse for we
were scared ‘when we heard Mt.
dittany was going to be stripped,
ft wasn’t a pious act. The 350
Lion’s Paw alumni don’t want a
pat on the back, for every State
graduate would have acted the
same in this case.
“Nittany is symbolic of State
and its foliage should grow as God
intended!”
The sale, which involved 547
acres on Mt. Nittany, an area twice
the size of the main campus, is not
/et completed, for funds still are
needed.
Though Lion’s Paw men bought
;t, the mountain top, a foothill of
he Alleghenies, will be maintain
ed as a beauty spot for everyone,
Mr. Clark stated.
“None of us want to see it fenced
n,” he added. “It offers a marvel
ms view and the most thrilling
moment to an old grad is to sit
hop it and just look around.”
Lion’s Paw, organized in 1908,
s a secret honorary resembling
bale’s famed Skull and Bones.
Prior to World War II it tapped
•pproximately 10 men during a
;eho»l year, each one outstanding
on campus.
The following 18 local Lion’s
Paw alumni made the purchase
of Mt. Nittany deal possible:'
NEED A GOOD BAND!
THEN YOU WANT THE
CAMPUS OWLS!

New Library of the latest hits . . .

Booklet Recalls Dean Warnock's
20 Years As Dai
“On the campus he is a colyum
nist among deans; on this news
paper the dean among colyum
nists.”
Just a line, but it introduces
Dean Arthur iR . Warnock’s
•‘Twenty. Years With the Daily
Half Colyum,” a booklet published
by the Centre Daily Times on the
dean’s double-decade anniversary
as guest columnist with the paper.
During this time he composed
daily a column of jokes, puns,
poems, and homespun philosophy,
in addition to his duties as dean
of men. In the anniversary book
.et, some of his best columns have
been reprinted.
Dean Warnock writes that back
in 1925 when he first started Inis
journalistic career, “most present
readers were still alive—and this
town was a small, somewhat stiff
oacked place. People didn’t joke
with one another so much as they
do now.
And. they didn’t think college
deans were human. They got up
when one came into a room, and
awkwardly, embarrassedly doffed
hats to them on the streets. If a
fellow knew a good story, he look
ed around before he told it to see
is any women or deans were
present. (Times have changed in
both respects since.)”
Many of the writer’s quips
were taken from advertisements,
such as the one from a Bcllefonte
theatre bulletin board:
Three Men on a Horse
They Met in a Taxi
And another double billing:
Hold That Coed
Too Hot to Handle
Other of Dean Warnock’s col
umns are about members of the
faculty and administration. He
has a knack' of taking professors
down from their pedestals, and
.making them just small town citi
zens. For example:
“The daughter of Ray Watkins
became 21 last week. “Now,
daddy, I’m legal,” she announced.
Monday’s classified ad in this
paper: “Peaches. Clean-up sale at
Electric Bakery
PASTRIES; CAKES, and COOKIES
ly Columnist
$1.25 per bushel. Bring baskets
and pick.”
“Why the pick?” asked Lou
Bell.
Dean Stoddart, motoring in tho
south, saw a sign that read—
Gasoline
Sandwiches
“Wouldn’t like ’em, he said. A
little farther on he saw another
sign reading—
Used Tires
Sandwiches
“Wouldn’t like those either,” he
said.
Tribunal Sentences
20 Naughty Frosh;
Announces No Dating
Approximately 20 freshmen ap
peared before Tribunal on Wed
nesday evening for violations of
customs. Sandwich signs were
given to some violators, while
others received lesser penalties.
The Tribunal committee an
nounced through its chairman
Pat Brennen that no frosh would
be permitted to date for the semi
formal dance this Saturday night.
Brennen said that freshmen didn’t
deserve any extra privileges un
til they adhered to the custom
rules more strictly.
Many frosh have failed to at
tend the freshmen orientation
meetings conducted for their
benefit.
The next Freshmen orientation
me'eting will be held in .Schwab
Auditorium next Tuesday at 7
p. m. All frosh are expected to
attend. Stanley Ziff and Hum
mell are chairmen of the meeting.
Tribunal listed I's ex-service
men who had written in for ex
emption cards and were passed
upon.
They • are: John Aiker, Paul.
Andrews, Ernest Baer, John Con
nolly, Walter Fallows, John Fitz
gerald, George Fry, IColin Harri
son, Howard Korpacy, Michael
Kutenkow, Paul Meleollen, Lloyd
Schutz, Bruce Summers, Harry
Watt and Michael Yackerak.
