Trying To Escape
Just _Dosent Work;
Moral: Keep Dates
The wind. was sweeping black
clouds across the narrowing ex
panse of sky, as a' dim figure
slipped from the side' door of a
building. It was clad in a long
black coat, several sizes too large,
and had a black covering over its
head.
The dark shape made its way
down- the path to the Mall, cast
ing furtive glances behind and to
the side. Moving rapidly along
toward the Corner, it coughed
violently and covered its tface
with a glove as anyone passed by.
Reaching the street, it made a
quick dasih for a building three or
four doors up.
The lights of the street revealed
that it was a girl, clad i» slacks
and wearing huge green-framed
glasses, her face colorless and
lacking lipstick. After making a
quick transaction, at the ticket
window, she disappeared within
the building. She' groped up the
balcony steps, managed to find a
seat, and slumped down in it with
a profound sigh of relief.
She became deeply engrossed
in the action before her. Hours
went by, ar.d before she realized
what was happening the room lit
up and a can was being passed
around for the “March of Dimes.”
She clutched at her chair, and 1
stared wildly aibodt her. The
three rows in front of her were
tilled with brothers of a well
known local fraternity. At the.
same moment, one of them turn
ed around and looked at her with
a penetrating stare.
“Jean!” he cried impulsively.
Then after a second glance, “Oh,
pardon me, you look so much like
a girl my roommate dates.”
“Of cauiws,” she murmured in
a muffled voice, sinking deeper
into her seat.
He looked at her with a puzzled
expression, but the theater dark
ened again. She lunged from her
seat and forced her way through
the crowd out onto- the street.
Crossing the Street, <?he hurried
back up the Mall and into the
side door of her dorm.
Once safely in her room, she
threw off the green glasses, re
turned the large coat to her room
mate’s closet. She threw herself
down upon her bed and'contem
plated the evening. “Leave Her to
Heaven” was worth it, but it was
just her luck to sit behind his
whole fraternity. Yes, breaking a
date in State College was a com
plicated business, requiring a
mastery of disquise.

What Does Your Father Do
To Earn His Daily Bread?
By Suzanne McCauley
Statistics are dull.
Remember the lines on -that)
barrage “of registration cards you
filled in last week that were
marked “father’s occupation?’’ It
took a College statistiician a bit
of figuring to do it, but she fin
ally computed that 43 fathers-last
semester had no occupations. The
occupations that, call most papas
eff to work each day are the
■foreman - superintendent - man
ager group with 444, and merch
ant-store per group with 443.
Til’ it’s a justice of the peace
you’re aseekin’ you’4'l have to look
hard for o.nly two .parents hang
out that shingle. Who says the
horse-and-ibuiggy days -are gone
forever? With , two blacksmiths
in business it sounds as if tine old
gray imare is coming into its own
(again.

It’s a, .tbulchy subject but there
