Cabinet and other student bodies back the drives for a beautiful campus. During the winter semester, Penn Staters are • seldom troubled by having to keep off the grass. In fact, they rarely see this green vegetation, for State College customarily hibernates under a bed ’ (ding of snow for the winter season. When the snow falls it is the duty of the State College Bor ough Department to keep the Borpugh streets traversable. On campus, this job falls to the 'Grounds and Buildings departinent. When students and. faculty members returned from their Christmas recess, they discovered that several of the main campus were hidden under sheets of glass-like ice. Among these covered sites wa s the wide walk in front of Old Main, one of the most frequented spots on , campus. Professors and students alike excused the slippery side-walks, thinking that Grounds and Buildings had been vacationing, too. But, even three days after the rest of campus had gone back to work, the ice remained for hur rying feet to slip and. fall on. True, ashes were ■scattered in .many places.- But, these only work ed their way into the scurrying shoes. After sev eral days warm weather and rain, the ice melted and disappeared. Then the cinders remained to make the pathways rough and black. This black ness mars the beauty of the campus. Grounds: and Buildings receives the support of students and faculty members in its spring-time “Keep the Campus Beautiful Campaigns.” Is it asking too much to want that department’s aid in keeping a beautiful and comfortable campus • throughout the winter? —G.A.N.

Class days find them in their usual bell bottoms, but watch and you’ll see them blossoming out in their new uniforms like the proverbial kid, with his first pair of long trousers. The admissions' situation is really rough, isn’t it? But it can’t be denied that the decision reached on the priority system was a just and fair one. A sug gested solution is to erect signs at all entrances to State- College designating, “THIS WAY TO BUiCK NELL, THIS WAY TO PITTSBURGH, THIS WAY TO ALLEGHENY.” New Year's Eve Aftermath 'Professor Dengler’s 11 o’clock Greek Lit class sat with open mouths in their first class of the new year when the door opened and the head of a fa miliar prof peered in. The professor excused him self and stammered, “Something snapped in my mind. I have a class, but I don’t know where it is.” Bonafide Offer Then there’s the story of the coed who discov ered Sweetheart Soap’s amazing offer of beautiful silver-plated flatware for 30 cents per piece and 3 coupons. After complicated calculations, she fig ured that for $lO and 300 coupons she could fur nish her kitchen with a complete set of silverware. •Habitually a procrastinator, she vowed that she wasn’t going to put this off, so she wrote the letter, enclosed her coupon and 30 cents, and immediately mailed it. Enthusiastically she ran back to ac quaint her-sorority sisters with her find and urge them to cash in on the offer. One by one they sat down to write their letters, until one cynic, quietly reading the wrapper to find the catch, morbidly read from the finest print on the wrapper,
