The Little Man
Meet Jim Framo, Froth Writer
By LOIS MARKS
The only other person we know
of on campus who sticks out his
neck enough to write personality
*etches is Jim Evamo. Jim has a
profile of Professor Edward
Abramson in , this month's Froth,
and we were rather anxious to
know of his writing technique.
"Always rewrite" is Jim's
motto for-getting good copy. We
asked him how he takes an in
terview, and .he said•that he just
lets a •man talk about himself. So
we just, let .Jim talk about him
self. He ,told'uS that he is going
to get married in .September, fin-.
ish school next June, and prob
ably take his master's at Penn
while Mary finishes her last year
there. Mary D'Adamo, the future
Mre. 'Jim; is . just about the most
important factor in his life.
"It's a funny. thing," Jim told
us,, "but Ma% and. I are. neigh
bors.' She , just five,.bloclis
away ) from• Me at 'home in South
Philly. And I never even -knew
who she was until I came to
State. In faat, I met 'here' in a
Soc class last winter."
Jim Has Philosophy
.Jim's pbiloSophy of life is very
simple: He clainiis that the two
most important decisions 'a man
can make are choosing the right
girl and:finding the right job.
Jim .has the right girl, beyond a
doubt, but he is still in 'a quandry
as to what kind of a job he wants.
"I'm a psYdh major •now," he
said, "I'd like to go into some
kind' of -industrial psychology,
maybe even personnel work. If
I had the' guts to stick out med
ical school, I might take, a stab at
psychiatry.
"I like people, all sorts of
people: I like to watch ho* they
tick., I like to get to know them
all, all extremes.
'think that's why I picked on
psychology. I was in journalism
beftire .the war, , . but you don't
make enough money in newspa 7
per work. I enjoy writing, but

Likes Writing
• Writing for Froth is a lot of
fun, Jim claims. He gets to know
a lot of • important people on
campus (his next Profile will be
on Prexy) arid works with a
good .gang of • guys. A typical
Froth man, he has a subtle sense
of humor and is mad about Le
Jazz Hotte---his favorite 'sharp
band is Duke Ellington. And he
subscribes heartily to the Froth
principle of "A Kick A Day."
By. the way, Jim isn't adverse
to telling' about his life in the
army. He . got out of 18 •months
on the front with a.full skin, and
sort of likes to brag about how
lucky he, is. BLit the only "War
story." Jim told us was about a
football game.
It seems that 'he and a' great
many . ex-Staters. were_ at.,'train
'rig' camp dOwn outh. State was
scheduled to. play football in
nearby' town, and Jim spoke •to
the commanding officer, getting,
permission for all his hoyS to see
the game. • The group marched

into the stadium singing State
songs. Jim Coogan and Ridge
Riley were in the press box, and
were amazed to hear "Hail to the
Lion" coming from the throats of
so many seemingly strange sol
diers. Jim clOms that'. even his
grandchildren will have to listen
to this story.
Keeps. Busy
Ah Alpha Phi Delt,, Jim doesn't
limit his activities to the cam
pus humor mag. •He's on the Fen
cing team, which will be reacti
vated this fall. He likes fencing
because it is chess with action:
your wit and muscles pitted
against your opponent's, and the
man with the best coordination
comes out the winner. He is a
member of the AVC and Common
Sense, and believes that every
veteran should belong to these
organizations.
"The trouible with most of the
veterans on this campus is that
they gripe a lot and , don't do any
thing," Jim said. "Nobody's go
ing to do our work for us. We
can't sit around and let some
other guys pass the legislation
that concerns -our *hole exist
ence and expect it to be right.
We did fight this war for some
thing, arid it's up to us to keep
it."
Has the campus changed much
since Jim left it in 1943?'His own
words express it best:
"`The campus hasn't changed,
but we have. A' war makes any
one more mature. This place was
just as Joe College and as friv
olous when I was a frosh; maybe
even more so. We'll have to make
State grow tip - to us; we're the
ones who are different.'"

THE COLLEGIAN
Library Displays
Lead Soldiery
Now on display in the cases of
the Main Library is an exhibit of
lead soldiers representing the ma
jor part of a hobby collection
owned by Dr. Kent Forster of
the history department.
The collection consists of ac
curate reproductions of a variety
"„f figures ranging from Roman
legionnaires to current day sol
diery. It also includes a shelf de
voted to the American Revolu
tionary period where a number
of finely made and unique pieces
are displayed. The latter are re
productions of the Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia "Gl's" of
1775-1783, done by the exhibitor,
as well as British, Hessian and
French regiments of the same
time.
The figures are lead castings,
some of solid construction, oth
ers hollow. With few exceptions
they were made in Europe, some
by the old and now destroyed
George Heyde Geselltschaftkom
panie of Dresden fame. Others
are the product of French and
English workmanship, especially
of London's M. Britain, the
world's largest lead soldier manu
facturer.
