WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1947-STATE COT J.FGE, PENNA
A campus cop was up a tree
yesterday afternoon.
Unfortunately for all those
students who crave retribution
for ticket doling on the part of
the local police force, it was a
literal tree, and a sturdy one
Suspiciously enough, the tree
was near Tri-dorms, but inno
cently enough, the cop was look
ing for chestnuts.
Insufficient rainfall during the
period since June of this year was
blamed for the emergency short
age of water. Rainfall records of
this period compiled by Authority
officials and released yestercay
show a consistently below-average
rainfall during the drought
months.
For September, when normal
rainfall is 3.04 inches, this year's
figures show only 0.77 of an inch
No appreciable precipitation has
been recorded for October, al
though averages indicate 2.97
inches this month.

Panhandlers Discover
No Inflation Here
Two panhandling sightless mu
sicians with an accordion, accom
panied by their Doberman see
ing-eye dog, str o 1 1e d slowly
along College avenue and S.
Allen street yesterday afternoon.
They might have heard of the
"big league" inflation running
rampant in State College. At
least, with so many students
walking the sidewalks, they
thought it wouldn't be too diffi
cult to pick on a little money in
exchange for their music, woe
fully amateur.
The reward of the middle-aged
unfortunates was small. however,
for in the bottom of the tin cup
held outstretched by the accor
dianist's companion was a lone ,
nickel.
If there is any moral to this
story, it's this: perhaps Uncle
Sam has made too little provision
for the extra-curricular expenses
of his nephew-students.
