Lines from the Lion . . .
enroute to State College
(the hard way)
Dear Gang:
I am writing this from Cave
Inn, a stop-over used exclusively
by traveling lions.
After submitting my final
scouter's report to the Hig, he
gave me orders to return to they
campus. Ordinarily, I would be
traveling by train, but I used my
expense money to buy an inter
est in the future. Security, you
know.
I bought a still located in the
mountains of West Va. I have
plenty of "proof" ... that it was
a good deal.
I hadn't owned the establish
ment more than a hour when
some men came to visit me. I
thought they were customers.
"See you're doing a landoffice
business here," said one of them.
"No sir," I told him, "I've got
nothing to do with real estate. I
'I operate a still."
"We're revenoors," they said.
"I won't hold that against you,"
I told them, "I'm not exactly
1100% American myself. I do
business with foreigners."
At that point I slipped quietly
away as only a lyin man could.
See you at the game.
For the Glory,
The Lion

It's Not Fertilizer
it's Not Sewers
It's a Bush
The bushes around Sparks are
raising a big stink—actually.
The cause of the unpleasant
odor that has been wafting
through the clear Nittany air be
tween the Liberal Arts building
and Carnegie Hall recently has
at last been solved.
A member of the College fac
ulty, Robert P. Meahl, and Wal
ter W. Trainer, of the Grounds
and Buildings department, have
traced the cause to Penn State's
outstanding specimens of virbur
num siebolli bushes.
The bushes, noted as some of
the finest in the country, have
been suffering under the recent
spell of warm weather. It seems
that the humid atmosphere per
vading Sparks' proximity has
caused the leaves to fall—all of
which in Horticultural reasoning
adds up to a lot of pungent odor.
But the bushes are not going to
be removed. Mr. Trainer, in an
swer to a query if they would
be torn out, exclaimed: "You
wouldn't throw a boy out of a
fraternity, because his feet
smelled, would you?"
All of which leaves us anx
iously awaiting cold weather.
