Forgotten Tickets
Prove Blessing
In Disguise
While students left classes last
Saturday in anticipation of the
weekend, they were unaware of
the series of events in which Penn
Stater Bob Keller was involved as
he went to see the Army-Navy
game in Philadelphia. This Beta
Kappa Sig w.as the central figure
of an adventure that nearly turn
ed. out to be a futile trip to the
city of Brotherly Love %
The story all began when Bpb
planned to see the great game
with his parents, Col. and Mrs.
Keller. They, had driven from
Pittsburgh Friday to meet their
■son and then go to Philadelphia.
The Kellers left. Saturday morn
ing at 5: 30 because it was imper
ative that they get there by 11 a
m. to get a third ticket. The other
two tickets Wad already been
bought and Bob had them.
As they neared Lewistown,
Mrs. Keller asked in typical
motherly fashion; if her .son -had
been sure. to bring everything.
Bob was about to assure her
when he discovered to his com
plete dismay, that he had for
gotten the priceless tickets! The
tickets to the Army - Navy game.
To turn back meant a delay, so
they decided to call State College
when they got to 'Lewistown. Bob
called the fraternity house, but
there was no answer. After
■moments of consternation;, they
.decided- to continue om their trip/
and call- at the next town. ■
.By this, the only, solution to
their - problem .was to call State

Dates For Slackers To Slacken.
Flash! .Hundreds of X-Gl’s at
State College threaten to re-enlist.
Reason: girls insist on wearing
slacks.
Yes, the passive campaign
against the fairer sex in pants has
taken on an active aspect. With a
flurry of advertisements 'down
town and ih Collegian (see classi
fied ads in last issue) a -group of
men who like to wear the pants
on campus, have started the anti
slack league which appears to be
taking on-gigantic proportions.
The charter members! are a
group of former servicemen of the
pelta Sigma Phi fraternity and
they’re not just fooling around.
They mean business!
Those anti-slackers -feel that
legs- are to be shown off and-not
to be concealed by a pair of un
feminine. baggy. 'trousers.. They
make the concession that slacks
are-all Tight-in a lab but that’s as
far. as they’li go. For Corner

the men are trying less drastic

One of these was a poll taken
in the Corner Room which re

reason for the wearing of clacks.
‘The- poll was taken on two. days.
The first, on an icy cold day, re

placed posters in several down
town stores, bearing such mottos
as “Don’t be a sad slack”, and
“Don’t be a slacker”. However,
they have met 'with difficulty on
the part of some store-keepers
who are afraid to place posters in
their windows for fqar that coeds
will boycott their store.
Says one of the spokesmen for
the “Slacks were o.k. on
George Sand but not many coeds
are potential George Sands.” He
goes on to say that “Coeds’ at
traction for men is not in their
similarity but in their difference.”
The anti-slackers’ are going to
continue their campaign until the
last pair of offensive slacks dis
appears from State College. When
that happens the men will be able
to sit down and relax and forget
about re-enlistment.
So gii’ls, it’s a choice between
men or slacks. Which is it going
to be?
