Ag School Host to Visitors
From 8 Foreign Countries
During the past few months the College has been host to visitors
who have come from eight countries t o look over the Agriculture
School and experiment station.
These men were representatives of all fields of agriculture and
also /.presented many of the major nations. Among these visitors,
those from the British Isles were
Werrett, dairy specialists; Dr. K.
British Ministry of Agriculture;
and E. T. Jones, geneticist, Wales.
Also present were Dr. E. K. Van-
Dalian, Inspector, Hague, The
Netherlands; and Gregor Bendz,
agricultural attache for Swedish
legation, Stockholm, Sweden.

clude Marcel Chevalier, entomolo
gist for French Agronomic Re

had the title of Scholar of India

Flying Club Wins
College Charier
When the Penn State Flying
Club started two years ago it was
'made up of a small group of men
who lacked even a plane. Today
it has a charter granted by the
College recognizing the club as
an activity, and boasts two
planes, a Piper Cub and a Tay
lorcraft. The enrollment has in
creased to 40 members, three of
whom are women.
The organization is non-profit
and was designed primarily for
those who want to learn to fly
but who cannot afford the exorb
itant prices charged by airport
managers. With an increase in
membership, the cost of flying
time goes down so that for those
who want to learn to fly at a
small cost, this is their oppor
tunity.
The club is now secure because
of the few pioneers who spent
time, money and energy so that
more and cheaper flying would
be available for Penn State
students.

Charlie Pleads Need
Of Date to Knit
Argyles
WANTED: Date who knits ar
gyles.
Ever since this ad appeared in
Collegian, coeds have been cur
ious . . . . and knitting furiously.
Some say that Charlie was prob
ably knitting argylea himself and
merely wanted his date to show
him how to slip a stitch. Others
say that Charlie had a new angle
to combat Penn State's current
woman shortage.
Charlie. however. insists that he
really likes argyles. He likes the
colors--reds. green, and blues.
Besides he is gradually depleting
his supply of Navy socks and is
now trying to alternate the black
ones with the more colorful
argyles.
"I usually change socks at
noon." said Charlie. "I wear the
black ones in the morning be
cause I have 8 o'clocks. and the
gayer ones in the afternoon."
His girl back home used to sup
ply him with argyles, but lately
she's been forgetting him. "She
must be knitting for other IMPS."
he said regretfully.
Since his classes are all In the
chemistry and engineering build
ings. Charlie claims he has never
seen a girl knit argyles. His
roommate. a liberal artist, is
much more succesful. Charlie
says.
Charlie finally confessed that
the ad was someone's practical
joke, but it hinted out to be a
profitable one. At least six coeds
have answered the ad.

You've picked yourself a sidelick ...and from her you
are seldom parted. Wherever she is...there you are also. As
thick as thieves, you share your thoughts, your secrets...
sometimes your dates.
Maybe you're birds of a feather. But usually unlikes attract
each other. Contrasts in coloring and inner fire make you
good foils for each other. When one is low, the other high. When one
is bold, the other shy. When a cat has the tongue of one, the other talks
enough for two. Whatever is the tie that binds...you two girls compli-
ment each other.
Which is a lovely thing...until one of you turns copycat. You started
off trying to agree on everything...just to keep your friendship smooth.
So you choked down your differences ...and got to thinking, looking
and liking alike.
Not necessarily because you both went for the same things. But one
of you did...so the other had to. Copycatting carries teamwork
too far. It's tough on the one who sets the pace...and the one who
follows through.
Partners should carry equal shares of the load. If one has to dream
up all the ideas, think out all the plans, take all the initiative...while
the other trots meekly along...it gets to be a wearing chore. That's
dragging dead weight.
And being led by the nose...dancing to somebody else's tune...ean
pall too. It'e grim to be the beastly burden.
If you want your friendship to be a thins of beauty and a joy forever
...don't cling to it like the drowning man's straw.
Learn to live with it...and without it. Have fun
together...have fun separately. Put in even ntor,
stimulation and steam than you get from it.
And don't let anybody call you a weak sister!
