"INGLE BELLS" is in for another season of
Jpopularity owing to that southpaw of the violin,
Johnny Long. Yeah, man, Johnny, you've got a
great record!
There's another great record in the spotlight.
It belongs to Camel cigarettes. More people
are smoking Camels than ever before!
Try Camels! Discover for yourself why,
with smokers who have tried and compared,
Camels are the "choice of experience"! '

Rehearsals are underway for
Thespians' 50th anniversary pro

urday nights.
The show is a revue of all the
best songs and skits from Thes
pian productions as far back as
"Wooden Shoes" of 1925. Several
of the acts were performed in the
fall for the alumni show by the
original cast.
Tunes of Yesteryear
The outstanding tunes of for
mer years are being used with
new lyrics added to some. Many
of the ways that the songs were
originally presented are being
changed.
"Rollin' Stone" from "The Kid
Himself' of 1928 was performed
by former Thespians, Sock and
Ralph Kennedy, mainly as a
dance routine. It will be pre
sented as a specialty art in .Hot
'n' Gold."
Another hit song being revued
is "I've Been Looking for Some
one Like You" from "Wooden
Shoes." This was written by Prof.
Hummel Fishburn, head of the
music department who was assis
tant dean of men at the time.
"Fortchie's Four," the popular
quartet of the recent Thespian
shows, will also be in the revue.
The members of the quartet are
Raymond Fortunato, Roslyn Mc-
Collom, John Storch, and Betty
Worrall.
Mr. Fortunato is also manager
of the show's Glee Singers. Mem
bers of this group are Nancy Ault,
Robert Cobaugh, Margaret Cun
ningham, David Eldridge, Ken
neth Emerson, Virginia Gearhart,
Jean Gilmore, and William Mc-
Lain.

THE DAILI COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA

Cabinet Corner
By Jo Fox
As predicted, the Pollock Circle
food investigation meeting last
night rode deep into the field of
student - administration coopera
tion.
The sledge hammer tactics first
applied by the dormitory repre
sentatives seemed to bounce on a
chairmanship blockade. But as
discussion progressed both stu
dents and administrative officials
displayed willingness to give and
take.
Hostetter Anxious td Help
When a standstill occurred,
Samuel K. Hostetter, assistant to
the president and the personifi
cation of cooperation, stepped in
to save the moment. He said the
College was willing to grant
every possible concession in order
to create comfortable and home
like conditions for the men in
Nittany and Pollock Circle dor
mitories.
The meeting which covered a
multitude of grievances centered
around the food situation. Dieti
tians from all dining commons
were present. Pollock Circle rep
resentatives hauled in cases from
cold potatoes to bouncing ham
burgers.
Many humorous sidelights
sparkled throughout the evening.
Among the best were computa
tions as to how many men a gar
bage can would feed, and a per
sonal note from a dormitory
member saying that most men
don't relish New Zealand goat
burgers.
Localized Problem
The inadequate food prepara
tion at the men's dorms is a lo
calized problem, as the women's
complaints ceased after a Sand
wich Shop shake-up last spring.
Hazel Fall, supervisor of the
men's dining commons, evidently
disagrees with several hundred
men when she defends her cook's
culinary ability.
The meeting established a sys
tematic approach for improving
the food. Existing food commit
tees at each dorm would hear
the men's gripes. These would be
presented to the dietetic staffs,

By Slithering
By SY BARASH
"Geek goes or you look for a
new room to live in," Bob Weiss
was warned by his rommate, Al
Gutowitz.
But Bob refuses to part with
the nine-inch alligator given to
him as an anniversary gat. The
present came from Honey Cooper
on the first anniversary of their
Pinning.

of Bob's fraternity brothers. eats
chopped raw shrimp when Bob
can afford the luxury. In fact.
Bob confessed that Geek eats bec
ter than he does.
When Al Gutowitz called Geek
a crocodile. Bob explained that
Al and Geek have not been
friendly since Geek arrived at
State College. Bob complains that
Al is always insulting Geek and
threatens to throw the alligator
in the furnace to keep warm.
New Home
Geek's home is a round, tin
candy box which rests in an emp
ty eez crate. The tin, besides be
ing' partly filled with rocks, has
a half-inch of water on the bot
tom.
"His present surroundings are
not too good for proper growth,"
Bob said. "He should be able to
bake in the sun. But I don't have
a sun lamp for myself."
The alligator will grow about
three or four inches in a year.
Bob pointed out. At the present
time he is not large enough to
make a wallet.
One day after classes Bob walk
ed into his room and noticed that
Geek was motionless. A fraternity
brother who was with Bob point
ed to Geek's closed eyes. Bob
tried rousing the alligator. but
was unable to.
Both Bdb and the fraternity
brother thought the animal was
dead until Geek suddenly began
slithering over the rocks in his
and Mr. Hostetter. Mr. Hostetter
agreed to do everything possible
to achieve better conditions.
