Save the Cement! Now is the time for leadership and action. A serious crisis faces dear old beloved alma mater. It is a crisis which calls for tried and true leadership—the kind of leadership which only one man is qualified to give. That man is our year old beloved All-College Omnipotent Chief tain, Thomas Jefferson Lennin. Every year about this time George Bertie, head of Grounds and Buildings, issues an urgent plea for students to keep off , the grass. In past years All-College Cupboard has been assigned the task of devising some method of re minding forgetful students to keep off the grass. Ordinary student leaders unimaginatively thought of such ideas as putting up "Please" signs. Not so Lennin, however, Lennin uniquely came up with the colossal idea of issuing whistles to all the BMOC'S. These watchdogs blew their whistles at every miscreant who ventured upon the greensward. Evidently Lennin is outstanding among his fellow men, and so it is to him that we throw the latest crisis. Here is the crisis. Pursuing Agent Harold Hiboy has been having a terrible time obtaining sufficient cell - lent to keep the campus sidewalks in good condition. Since Len nie did such a good job keeping everybody off the grass, everybody has been walking on the sidewalks. Imagine, thousands of students every day walking .on the sidewalks. Imperceptibly the concrete has been wear ing down, and Lemual Hossenfeffer, assistant to Captair Mark in charge of lucre, has been demanding action. It's up to you Lennin—to find a way to campaign foi "Keep Off the Sidewalks." Where's the Foul-up? Thngs have come to a pretty pass here at State. Both political parties are perking right along and things in gen eral are all in good shape. Now isn't that one hell of a fix. Now just what does the College Administration an student groups expect Collegian editorial writers to gripe about? Without griping, a body is dead. That's what Alen W. Ostarsky, noted editor, once wrote. In fact, to quote Ostarsky he said, "Without griping, a body is dead." Now we don't think that is so here at Penn State. Here we have a fine institution and an even finer student body. Here, we are not dead (At least, I don't think so). No, here at State we are alive—very alive. Somewhere on this campus something is fouled up. It must be if Penn State is alive. However, we haven't found it yet. But Penn State is not dead! —FIB Thither and Yon By SLICK CHARGE News release—The Board of Trustees at the Pennsylvania Stale College this morning announced that the College was entering the liquor business.

Isn't it about time something is done about this intolerable situation? With all the talk about nothing and (hot air blowing around campus) it's amazing that so little gets done as it is. But then there's nothing unusual about that. The problem is whether to or not too. If you take the opposite point of view it's much easier and yet doesn't solve anything. Or aren't we? Confusion reigns and so does the sky. I hope that this will be in vestigated and a n intelligent de cision reached. Confused A Complaint!

Agnutz said. "Besides I believe in giving local talent a break. Lem's Hot Shots are known far and wide throughout Snow shoe and vicinity as a great band. and I think all the Greeks and their dates will like him. Besides he's an awful lot cheaper." Hershkowitz and his band have recorded extensively for Broken down records, their current hit tune being "Big Woodwind Quin tet from Brookville." Jim and Jane have been featured over Mutual Network's key station, WMAJ, the most powerful sta tion between Bellefonte and Boalsburg. No word could be obtained from Johnny Long whose band is cur rently appearing at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. However.
