When anyone asks us how plans for "that
;iiident Union" are coming along these days We
3),IVe. devised a stock answer to stop them. •.
Of course it's a rather jerry-built And somewhat
dubious reply but. until that Student Union is
erected our story goes something like :this: • •
Why,
,didn't you know? We've already dpi the
'takings of a Student Union. Course it isn't in one
building but if you look carefully you can see it.
Take, for instance. the .A.l7C's new hOine at
:7:Ygy Top. It's about eight miles out of town but
for the student craving a little social relaxation
on
a week-end it can't be beat.
• The same holds true for the Paradise Cafe in
I;6l.lefonte where the Tru Btu Sextet (they may
even be an octet by now) entertains on week-ends.
And. then there's Woodman Hall which the X-GI
tii_;;s taken over for weekend entertainment.

booths, but three rows of chairs around the outer
fringe of the dance floor seemed to accommodate
all those who wanted to "sit this one out."
Aside from giving the independent students
a place io sit. the arrangement provided more
room for dancing. It might be well for the senior
dance committee to take thg into consideration
when they plan the seating arrangeinent for
their dance in May.
Until the proposed Student Union becomes a
reality there will be no ideal all-college dances.
That's located juk this side of the southern bor
ough:limits.
Quite . .a big Student Union—with an annex in
Bellefonte, B oalsbu r g . and Waddle. A tine Stu
dent UniOn if you have a car. • • •
• But there's more to this hypothetical Student
Union we now have, for you see, a Student Union
is more than a mere social center.
The student book exchange operated at the
beginning and close of semesters is part of this
elusive outfit. -Despite the fact that it's been lo
cated in several places—the old armory, the li
brary, Old Main—enough students find it each
semester to make use of it and save themselves
thousands of dollars in the aggregate.
And over in Pollock Circle there's a fellow
who will trim your hair for a nominal fee...he
uses a stool, to be sure, and it's only a one-stool
"shop" but that's a start toward the barber shop
our real Student Union will have.
- -
So you see, if you really stretch your imagina
tion,. we do have "a Student Union" at Penn State.
Letters
Easter Vacation
TO THE EDITOR: It seems to me that, the Col-
legian would be doing the student body as a whole
a great favor if you would dispatch one of your
news hounds on an assignment to clear up a con
fusing rumor being heard on campus these days.
I refer to the reports about the date for the begin
ning of Easter vacation, which, according to the
College calendar as posted, is April 3 at 11:50 a. m.
1 would greatly appreciate your. early investiga
tion of this matter, and_ a reply of some type, to'
this letter.
—Puzzled.
*An investigation by "news hound" Al
®star reveals that the Easter vacation has not
been changed. As previously announced, it will
run from 11:50 the morning of April 3 until
3 o'clock in the morning, Wednesday, April 9.
You Can Racik
TO THE EDITOR: This missive is not concerned
with the - quality or lack of it, of the material pre
sented in the Collegian. You can relax if you wish.
Last .week my slide rule mysteriously vanished.
I reported it to the proper Authorities who, I might
add, were rather cool about the whole thing.
As a final requiem I inserted an advertisement
in Collegian informing the - world of my loss.
This morning I received.a phone call inform ,
ing me of the whereabouts• of my wandering
slide rule and I now have it in my possession
again.
From this experience I conclude that some peo
ple do read the Collegian!

Denies Spring
Have you seen your first robin
of the s eason yet?
Dean Warnock saw his on St.
Patrick's Day on the east campus
People have .been calling Dean
Warnock to report robins they
have seen about Centre County. •-
Captain Marks has obsetrved
several robins hugging the side
walks near the steam ttinnelS for
warmth, for the past few months,
but. is, not sure whether they are
new robins, or just the ones that
hung around all winter.
Robins are believed by some
people to be the first harbingers of
spring, arid they watch. .for them
wi:itth eagerness.
"Nuts!"- said
. Mickey, - Centre
County's own groUndh'og and
weathe r prophet, from his hole of
honer at the State Police sub-sta
tion at RoCkvievi7.
Mickey is a cocky young fellow,
arid feels that his weather prcg
noStitations are much niore
ccien
tific and reliable than a simple
rcbin's.
"1 predidt two mere weeks of
winter, frosts and cold winds, be
fore spring r eally comes to stay,"
stated Mickey, He then retired to
his straw covered hole with
snort at all rcbins, and refused to
make any further statement.
