hope, the turtle of the year.

members of •the first semestei
class .in the - voting for a turtle to
represent the College at the an
nual Turtle Trudge at the Univer
sity, of Detroit, carried enough
weight. to put Casey well over the
top. They should have; as usual,
the first semesters proved to be
the most resourceful class and. cast
their votes for Casey on, lead-.
Penn State's hopes for national
fame and overwhelming victory
rest on the groovy shell of Casey.
Casey has 'been around for a long
time; legend has it that he obtain

that it took him I'3 semesters to
get from the registrar's office to
Schwab Auditorium.
