' PAGE TWO The Mural Again Leafing through the Collegian files for the years -when most of the returning veterans were putting -in freshman or sophomore tim e under the shadow of Old Main, brings back to mind a big campaign that was underway at that time, a campaign to complete the Land Grant mural in Old Main. The goal of that campaign was partially reached only to be interrupted by Ole war. The money ori .ginally voted to the completion of that fresco with the coming of war was converted into scholarship lance again the question comes up, and once a gain the money has been voted by the senior class and All-College( Cabinet, the money which could .hire Henry Varnum Poor to finish the job he so ably began. The College trustees will meet Friday night and one of the measures to b .brought up is the acceptance of this money, the final installment on the incomplete mural. Should the money be accepted, it is hoped that the painting may be re sumed this fall. With the goal so nearly in sight, it •would be a shame to meet refusal. Incidentally, also from the files was gleaned the interesting bit of information that in '4l, a brief and unsuccessful campaign was waged to have the huge chandelier in the lobby of Old Main remov ed, under the contention that it 'obstructed the view of Poor' s work. The lighting fixture is still there. Just For Fun A. toad to Sherman Fogg who has handled the •Summer Session recreation program so adequate- . thus far. Mr. Fogg, who is the power 'behind those Friday night dames and Saturday. fun `nights that everyone enjoys so much, has also in augurated Wednesday night bridge sessions in Atherton Hall. •These bridge -parties have proVed very popular as have the hikes and so on also planned by Mr. Fogg. Yes, indeed, the recreation program a s planned -and carried out for the first six weeks has been sufficient and enjoyable, but what about the sec ond six weeks? True, the enrollment will be small, an estimated 800, but even 800 persons like •to enjoy themselves. Rumor has it that there will ilk no planned entertainment after August to, and if that rumor is correct, the College will be a pretty dull place come August Lt.

Anyway, the rains finally came and with a vengeance. The re sults have the forestry students dripping salt water 'cause of the branches and whole trees which were strewn helter skelter around the campus. No longer do you get a view of four well rounded maples when you look . toward College avenue from the front of Old Main. The score is now two **quite - well rounded . maples and two stumps with a couple badly bedraggled limbs pro truding skyward. All in all the usually Well' kept campus underwent a rapid change in the very brief storm Saturday. Campy only hopes that the College's Forestry School can offer medical assis tance and patch the trees back together with the aid of string and glue, or hoW ever it is that the song goes. Is This Our Mick? And from the daily rag of the University of Ok la'hom'a Campy quotes the following little quote . "Lucky indeed is this campu s to be blessed with a visit from next semester's editor of the Penn State (College, that is) "Daily Collegian," which almbst passes for a student newspaper. Michael A. "I never sign my own name" Blatz ha s arrived in Oklahoma to visit his great and good friend, Tri Delt Elaine• Young, so a Campus Reform move ment should be immedidtely forthcoming. You're a good kid, Elaine . . . but accidents will happen to the best of us, and this Michael A. seems to•fall in that classification. Even Ogden can write a bet ter letter to the editor than Michael A. (ed. note . the name is familiar, but I just can't place that deSeription.) flyin' Sal - Last week,- Campy announced that Sally Von , Nieda had just soloed. :Well, this tiveek:we find •: Sally up in the clouds again, this time. with .no plane, just as Lambda Chi pin. The guy? .Haydn Jamison, popularly known as Jamie, from York. Jamie recently returned from Europe and, is a- • mong other things a veteran of Drexel Hill. . . Lundquist Repo'r'ts: • And from country. Correspondent Lundquist, commonly called Lynnette, comes word that O cean City is definitely overpopulated • and that Penn State has a lot to do with the crowded sit uation. Among the crowds seen swarming .along the IboardWalk are Dorrie Handwerk, Phoebe Forrest, Sally Holstrum, Sally Rittenhouse, Doris Jenkins, Teenie .Cathers, Leigh Wohling, and oh gosh, th e list just goes on and on. What's Ocean City got that State College hasn't except an ocean and half the student population? Bet you don't bind any classes there, just sunshine and cool o cean breezes and soft music and no home work, and Who wants sunshine and cool ocean breeies and soft music and no home work anyway? That, dear reader, is .what is known as Sour - grapes. • • Fair Exchange And another romance comes to its ultimate end August 10 when Nan Charlek, Kappa, 'trades that Charles in for Moorhead. Nan and Carl are be ing married in, Pittsburgh. .And Margery Baker isn't showing off her nailpolish when ihe'hold s up her. left hand. It's that new sparkler from former NVOTCer, Karl VanlY Elden. Vacation" With Pay? And the prize story picked up around campus during the week is that about the new prof who teaches no classes. It seems that no one signed tip for the course. Campy's only question i s .'. does he still get paid? Campy Teachers Favor Pay Raise Skeptical As To Possibility This question was asked of schoolteachers attending the Sumner Session at the College: What wasi your reaction to the proposed legislation which gives teachers higher s alaries in PennsylMania? Pearl Crossley: "Most teachers would be favorably impressed by anything which would give them art increase in salary. To do work effectively a teacher must have an adequatecompensation so that she can 'meet social requirements and further her educational training." Mary Jane Simpson: "Oh, Vin in favor of. it! 'Teachers are still in the low -salary group, but when (they .get bigger you let me know!" Marion Puckey: "It's one of those things about which you say, 'Well, teachers deserve it.' (Per sonalty, I always 'thought that a little consideration add respect would mean more than higher salaries. I'm a math - teacher so I can add up my two cents if I ever get h)." Agnes Koehler:- "There have been too miany good teachers who have gone in 'o other fieldt of work beCause they couldn't live on the salaries they got. Low salaries also made it difficult for the small schoOlS. Some teachers would en joy teaching in a sniall- school, but actually work in a leaver sdhool because they can get more money. This -is the reason small schools so often have inexperienced help. In additiOn -the Schoolteacher turn over in Small schools is- rapid and the Students have many different teachers in: their courses.• ‘ , 00.4 AI 2 i , 4. At t Y?°/ -°4: .
