At what point do women give
up?
In one of last month’s issues of
the Collegian there appeared a
feature revealing that some mis
guided sophomore coed had sign
ed-up for a men’s gym class.
Naturally, everyone thought
that that was all there would be
to it—that the coed had learn
ed her lesson.
Well, she’s still at it.
Recently the steam-filled men’s
dressing room in Rec Hall was
the scene of understandable bed
lam as a pretty head poked inside
the door and a feminine voice
shakingly inquired, “Is this Dean
Schott’s office?"
Apparently the heat of the en
suing blushes drove the intruder
away, because her exit was one
of the quickest in the history of
the 'College.
“FOR A BETTER PENN STATE"
Sophomores Inaugurate
Flash Gird System
A special “animated card” cheering section, organized and
directed by the cheerleading squad, will have its innovation at Penn
State for the West Virginia game Saturday, according to William
Bonsall, head cheerleader.
Sophomores will be given the opportunity to pioneer the venture
during this first and most difficult year. Those sophomores sitting in
the adjoining half-sections of K and L will be given the opportunity
to participate.
Brilliant 14x12-inch blue and
Athletic Association. Bonsall em
phasized that sophomores partici
pating m this cheering section
were to be sure the identification
number on the card corresponded
with the seat number.
Other instructions included: 1.
Do not flash card until white flag
drops. 2. Hold up side of card
that corresponds with the key
number in the hand oi the head
cheerleader. 3. Reverse card as
ribbon passes over head. 4. Do
not deface card in any manner.
Chimes and Cwens, women’s
junior and sophomore honor so
cieties, made die venture possible
by numbering the cards, pasting
them together and affixing in
struction slips.

Height of Stupidity
Dear Gang:
On the way to Morgantown
I stopped at Lewisburg to see
Annie, remember her? she’s
that gorgeous bunk of drum
majorette from Bucknell. I
wasn’t welcomed very warm
ly and not that I blame her.
Some of the friendly Penn
State students “borrowed” two
of the Bucknell megaphones
during the game and forgot 0
return them. The Bison cheer
leaders are a little bitter about
that and asked me if I eoudn’t
have them returned. How
about it fellas?
I haven’t seen these Moun
taineers hut I hear they are
digging in especially har«j after
that MS-6 licking the Panthers
gave them last week.
I went to classes here this
morning. They have a fine
course. It is designed to help
coeds understand the finer
points of athletic contests
without bothering their boy
friends with silly questions.
How about it Dean Schott?
C'culdn’t that be added as one
of the “musts” for coeds- to
take here. It would eliminate
s uch questions as, “who is that
forward that got that tackle?”
cr “who is that tackl« that
made that last basket?”
I saw a couple of shmoos
here today „nd I’m planning to
bring some back for the guys
that eat in the Nittany Dorms
dining hall.
